I just found this old bat. How should I pimp it out?
A light sanding and lots of BLO
>>30109057
Put it up your butt
Hit up your local woodworker and have the barrel fluted.
I bought some peltors because I use them at work and they are nice. However the one's I bought have a weird fucking plug unlike the ones I've used. Does anyone know what plug this is? Can't find a PTT that will fit it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
>>30109005
Did you bother to check the owners manual
>>30109519
no owners manual, bought it used.
Are they any cheaper to shoot?
I was thinking I might get a Uberti revolver, but I'm not sure if I should get a Dragoon, Navy, or Army. Does anyone have experience with any of these?
>>30108952
Powder, balls, and caps for 100 shots runs about $45 from my lgs, but I use pyrodex pellets.
>>30108952
I have an 1858 replica and a flintlock.
I think it's more expensive, all things considered and that I can buy 9mm by the box at Walmart and have to hunt around for caps and powder or pay hazmat fees to have BP shipped to me.
Also they have to be cleaned often (and the residue is nasty and has to be cleaned off quickly, usually. Like corrosive ammo.) and the whole thing is kinda a mess.
It fun though, and they're usually not considered firearms so you can just buy them cash and carry or ship them. Check your own laws though.
>>30108952
Not any cheaper to shoot than a smokeless brass cartridge. I have my 38 special loads down to a cunt hair under 3 cents a round. I cast the bullet so a 2 cent primer and a cents worth of powder are my only costs.
so cz and variants have the entire slide running inside the lower which makes sense with steel lowers but how the fuck does that work with polymer? How the fuck does a steel slide ride internally in floppy polymer without bad shit happening?
the rails on polymer are steel, dipshit
>>30108951
Don't questions czech tech, or you'll get neck strepped, fag-get.
>>30108951
even though glock doesn't have the slide in the frame, it still rides on steel rails.
Won't be surprised if polymer CZ's do the same.
It seems Ken Onion has teamed up with CRKT to release a knife with "field strip" technology. Pic and vid related; what does /k/ think of it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixLvgSZJ0es
Also, how does /k/ care for their knives and the sheaths they rest in?
get a fixed blade
>>30108906
Yeah it's a great idea.
>>30108906
So they finally made a folding knife that you don't need tools to take apart?
hey /k/
how do you carry your ammo/eye and ear pro/extra small parts/lube/cleaning stuff to the range? i'm kinda tired of bringing shopping bags and brown paper bags full of ammo to the range with me and am looking for a good range bag. something that can hold a decent amount for when i go 3gun shooting would be nice.
any suggestions?
I got a rifle bag from cabelas that has some MOLLE on the front, and space for two rifles/shotguns inside. It takes care of me for range visits and transport, but its nothin super fancy.
>>30108743
>ammo
bandoliers and mag pouches
>eye pro
glasses
>ear pro
foam ear plugs loose in pocket
>extra small parts
no clue
>lube/cleaning stuff to the range
clean when you get home
>>30108743
I get whatever Midway bag is on sale. Got my Compact Comp Camo bag for $20 and Competition Woodland Camo bag for $30. Don't need another for a while.
Save gear money for good muffs and good plate carriers and shit.
The USN SAG comprised of the 1989 refit Iowa and one LCS-2 Freedom is sailing due east from Hawaii
What have the soviets sent to intercept?
taking your suggestions
which part of the USSR is due east of hawaii
>>30108718
doesn't matter
they used their time travel teleporter
The Kirov 1984 and a Krivak 1984 are passing through the area and suddenly detect radar emissions from 50 miles south!!
The krivak captain activates all his radars for some reason!!! and detects 15 incoming harpoons!!
ill just let the AI handle it for both sides now
the AI doesnt really care abut emcom I think, unless you manually tell it to
So yesterday I turned 21 and one of the first things I did was buy a handgun and today I finally open carried for the first time
But the whole fucking time I was nervous as hell, is this normal or am I being a giant faggot?
I just feel like I'm sticking out to much and everyone is staring at me and my gun also I was wearing wearing a red shirt and my gun has a black finish so idk if that made me stick out more.
I went to Walmart to pick up some cheap ammo and bore snake and the whole time i was sweating bullets granted the chick at mcdonalds did complement muh 45 but this other dude just plain up stared at my gun in the middle of the aisle and wouldn't break eye contact with my gun
Will I just have to conceal carry or do you just get used to this shit
>>30108613
It goes away after a while. Its perfectly normal. Others here will call you a faggot or pussy, ignore them. It is a huge reponsibility, you should be nervous.
>>30108642
That's one big thing by carrying it im aware of what is now on my shoulders I just feel awkward I don't know what to do with my right arm anymore I don't want to make a wrong move and make some one nervous
>>30108661
Just do what you always do. Be polite, courteous, dress clean, and if someone appears nervous, deflect with humor or fluff talk. Don't talk about the gun unless they bring it up in a positive manner. I usually hook my thumbs on my belt and cover the gun with my elbow if I am just standing around.
Is this too edgy for /k/?
>>30108291
Replace it with a glock and it is true.
>>30108291
/k/ is not pro people who were bullied in high school.

Why does he have two fingers on the trigger?
Hello again, /k/. A couple of weeks ago I made a thread about inheriting my grandfather's Savage Model 99. Well, now I have it, and there are two more guns involved (one for my brother, and one for my mom). A Remington Wingmaster 870, and a .50 caliber cap and ball rifle that has probably been in our family for a long long time.
I have a couple questions. I have to store them in an inoperable condition (per my mom's request), so what I did was take the trigger group out of the 870, and the bolt out of the Savage. I convinced her the cap and ball rifle was pretty much useless as it is (who knows if it is even safe to fire). So is there any extra care I should take with the guns now that they are in two pieces? What cleaning supplies should I get? I got a rifle cleaning kit but there is no liquid goods, just rags, brushes and eyehole heads.
I apologize for the potato phone photos, but it is the best I can do. Here's a close up of the bolt area of the Savage. It turns out it is in .300 Savage, and I got four boxes and change of ammo with it. Can't quite make it out, but it even has a magazine counter and a chamber indicator.
The scope the Savage had. It is a 3x-9x Bushnell Sportview. I don't know yet if I'll prefer iron sights or the scope.
The rifle cleaning kit. Very cool, retro. Seems to have a lot more than what originally came with it in it.

What is the best round past 1000yds?
What rifles do you guys run?
Any tips for a beginner? I want to win 1000yd matches and get into sniper school.
>>30108158
Consider anything in 6.5 or 7mm
7mm Fuck you fan myself
Generally, the bigger the round, the higher the BC and velocity, and the farther out you can accurately hit things.
I think the best you're going to get is 14.9 SOP.
If you don't want a 70 pound rifle, use 20/50 Anzio.
If you don't want a 50 pound rifle, use .375 Chey Tac.
If you don't want to spend 30 dollars a round on a meme caliber from a shit company, buy something in .50 BMG and enjoy your relatively cheap milspec ammo.
If that's still too heavy for you, .338 Lap Mag.
From there you don't really need specialized long distance shooting rounds.
>>30108178
.338 Lapua Magnum is big enough to hunt any animal on the North American continent and it's more than enough for competition at a thousand yards.
I think that makes it an excellent recommendation.
Of course .50 BMG is fun like a frolicking midget.
does /k/ own any extendos?
Yes, just bought a 10-rounder for my s&w model 64
Never leave home without it.
I'm watching a lecture on reliability engineering and the guy teaching it is a West Point graduate and he brings up the issue of M16 and what kind of a piece of shit rifle it was. He gave a whole bunch of examples and then mentioned that he probably spent a year of his life disassembling one and cleaning it all the fucking time.
kek'd fucking hard!
Were there any other rifles that were as big of a fail as M16?
>kek'd fucking hard!
fuck off
>>30107927
fill it in, autist.
>>30107915
That new Indian rifle. I think it's called the INSAS, or something like that.
>individual rivets are uneven
>each gun's components are so poorly quality controlled and hand assembled that each gun is essentially semi-unique
>has a tendency to spray oil in the shooter's face
Literally sub-Chauchat tier.
Want a CC weapon, for before the Muslims arrive, I long fingers, what's a few good options I should look at?
Was thinking CZ75 compact
That would work, except the slide is kinda small, you might have trouble grabbing it.
>>30107921
>you might have trouble grabbing it.
OP can just practice by jerking off.
>>30107921
What else is there, I'm not sure what is concealable really, or I'd have a 1911
>I moved cautiously, feeling my way with ungloved hands toward the starboard bulkhead in the compartment, which was my starting point. What I would find I had no inkling. Eventually, it would severely draw on every ounce of courage I possessed. As I looked up, I saw a light that glowed dimly, flickered, and disappeared. It must have been phosphorescence in the water, I thought as the blackness enveloped me once again. I shrugged as I thought: I would settle for just enough light to be able to see the end of my nose.
>Suddenly, I felt that something was wrong. I tried to suppress the strange feeling that I was not alone. I reached out to feel my way and touched what seemed to be a large inflated bag floating on the overhead. As I pushed it away, my bare hand plunged through what felt like a mass of rotted sponge. I realized with horror that the “bag” was a body without a head.
>Gritting my teeth, I shoved the corpse as hard as I could. As it drifted away, its fleshless fingers raked across my rubberized suit, almost as if the dead sailor were reaching out to me in a silent cry for help.
>I fought to choke down the bile that rose in my throat. That bloated torso had once contained viscera, muscle, and firm tissue. It had been a man. I could hear the quickening thump of my pulse.
>For the first time I felt confined in the suffocating darkness and had to suppress the desire to escape. “Breathe slowly, breathe deeply,” I commanded myself. I must stay calm, professional, detached. The dangers from falling wreckage, holes in the deck, and knife-sharp jagged edges were real, formidable hazards. I must not succumb to terror over something that could not harm me.
>I felt my way through the darkness toward the door to the machine shop, accompanied only by the sound of the air hissing into my helmet from the air hose trailing behind me.
>At the shop doorway I hesitated and drew my lifeline toward me. Then I got the eerie feeling again that I wasn’t alone. Something was near. I felt the body floating above me. Soon the overhead was filled with floating forms.
>Obviously, my movement through the water created a suction effect that drew the floating masses to me. Their skeletal fingers brushed across my copper helmet. The sound reminded me of the tinkle of oriental wind chimes.
>This time I did not panic. Instead, I gently pushed the bodies clear and moved through the compartment. I shuffled through the workshop area, threading my way around lathes, milling machines, and drill presses. I stopped and again found myself surrounded by ghostly bloated forms floating on the overhead, all without heads. This shop had been the damage control battle station for one hundred of the crew. The violent explosions from bombs and torpedoes, plus the forceful impact of water, must have thrown the sailors like rag dolls against bulkheads, breaking their necks and severing skulls from spines. Voracious scavenger crabs had finished the job.
>It was not something I wanted to think about, and I pushed it from my mind as I moved forward again. That is when I stumbled over what felt like a torpedo, the object I had come down here to find.
