PMC
A few of my friends joined the IDF. They enjoyed it.
Are these reticles useful, or are just a novelty?
>>29981440
they kick ass. useful and they make the ak very handy.
>>29981440
not really
I've been faster at practicing judging distances and checking my brain with a range finder than trying to do common core calculations based on the RFR.
>>29981484
What about the reticle that the PSO has. Is it useful in a combat setting?
Hey /k/
Think you can help tell me more about this (what I'm 99.9% sure is a bayonet)
Also any pointers on restoring or cleaning it up?
Will upload more pictures. Tried to get all stamps/markings.
>>29981392
That's an argentine bayonet, don't fucking clean it.
>tacticool black pistol grip stocks exist for the SKS
>75 round drum mags exist for the SKS
>SKSes are still cheap enough that you can get two for the price of a decent AR, one to tacticool up and one to keep standard
>this is all entirely legal in my state
Hmm...
You could just buy a cheapish PKM conversion.
SKSes aren't $300 anymore.
>>29981368
Anon are you thinking of the right gun?
Because pic related is a PKM
9mm 1911 thread
Springfield Range Officer or Kimber Custom II?
Kimber costs $10 more. Springfield comes with a paddle holster and a magazine holster.
inb4 hurr durr buy a .45acp/38super/10mm
Springfield
Kimber
>>29981265
I mean at this point no matter what you buy it's still a fullsize steel frame single stack 9mm so you might as well flip a coin so at least a portion of this horrible decision is in god's hands and not yours.
>.357 sig
>>29981232
if a certain caliber is akin to vapefags it would most decidedly be .40 S&W

It's on cool in a SIG 229...

>>29981219

I fucking hate Glenn Beck yet I still listen to his show. Driving a truck for a living and AM radio keeps me entertained.
>inb4 satellite radio

So heres a question /k/
>I have an opportunity to buy either a Glock 17 gen 3 or a Kimber 1911
>Inb4 flame wars. It matters little to me since its going to be just a plinking weekend shooter.
>The Glock is $550
>The Hi Power $475
What get?
Hold both in your hand and feel what you like better
>kimber 1911
>hi-power
well which one is it.
Glock 17 turd gen is best gen
I'm looking for a new scope for my mini-30. My old one I got nearly 20 years ago for less than 100 bucks and it doesn't hold zero well.
I want something in a 3x9 probably, but not too concerned with reticle or any of that shit. What's the best 200 buck scope? I was considering the Leupold VX1, the Viper Diamondback maybe, or Nikon Buckmaster?
>>29981111
>Mini-30
This tbqh familia
>>29981111
Literally anything that will hold zero.
>>29981132
come on man, they're not that bad.
Hey /k/ I want to build a perimeter wall around my property, around 2-3 acres. Any suggestions on height and material used?
I was thinking of concrete with a brick frontage so it doesn't look like FT fucking Knox about 7-10 feet. Behind that I am thinking of putting a berm about half the height of the wall, 1, so that you can easily view over it and provides a good firing position, 2, it'll reinforce the wall, 3, it'll look pretty with flowers'n'shit on it.
Also general emplacement I'll post what I have.
>>29981007
Gonna take a lot of work, anon. You gonna do it yourself or have someone else do it? It'd look like shit, but a friend of mine fenced in a portion of his lawn with cinder blocks, concrete and rebar. Good luck, whatever you choose to do
Anyone know of a good place to buy Oriental weapons?
So I'm looking into buying a sword or something and I've been trying to find something cool. I looked at Kult of Athena and they have some nice European swords but I also wanted to look at something more oriental.
>>29980943
Don't fucking get a katana.
>>29980943
Kult of Athena has a pretty good selection of asian swords. What was missing?
>>29980943
This one looks pretty badass.

Are these Yugoslavian unissued SKS's worth $400 a piece?
>>29980921
Sadly, I'd say $400 is the new average price
Its getting harder and harder to find <350 yugos and norincos.
>SKS
>$400
No.
>>29980945
Given what this anon said, plus the fact that they're unissued, I'd say yes
I paid $320 3 years ago for a Sino-Soviet, which is in great condition (metal parts) but has a pretty beat up stock
Alright, /k/ommandos, time for your first annual eeeeeeeeeee test. Please tell me if you notice any particular drops in volume as you slide the bar. Report back here with the hertz range(s) that you find most difficult to hear.
http://plasticity.szynalski.com/tone-generator.htm
The purpose of this test is to determine if those of our ilk have a propensity to lose hearing in certain ranges based upon their favored calibers, or certain scenarios you may remember when you neglected to protect your only always-on, 360 degree sense.
Please include with your report...

>time for your first annual
>first annual
It cannot be an annual event if it the first time.
>>29980855
20hz to right around 16,000
is that normal?
>>29980895
It is normal that as you age it becomes more and more difficult to detect higher frequencies. I'm 28 and have difficulty detecting above 18,000 hz (with both ears on, oddly it's lower for each individual ear). I also notice a distinct drop in volume at the 5,500 hz and 9,500 hz ranges.
Sup /k/.
I'm writing a paper on why gun free zones don't work. Input?
>>29980764
Well for starters, that comic.
>>29980764
A piece of paper, sticker, or law has never ever stopped a criminal from doing what they want.
Gun-free zones are not specifically a good or bad thing in my opinion, since it typically involves a private entity saying no, which is perfectly fine in this world. Also, could you name some shootings/crimes/whatever that took place in gun-free zones?
Pretend for a moment you are a character in a FPS video game. You can carry a primary, a secondary and a melee weapon. What do you have, /k/omrade?
REALISM MODE: You can only choose from what guns and melee weapons you actually own. If you have no ammo for said weapon then you can't use it.
>>29980683
REALISM MODE:
Primary: Converted Saiga (7.62x39)
Secondary: Beretta 92 Samurai Edge ;D
Melee: Probably just one of my larger fixed blade knives. But I have a fetish for using climbing axes as weapons.
>>29980683
And a knife
AK 47.
9mm.
A machette.
