>FUCK YEAR RELOADING
I have to move all my crap to my office so I can have a "real" guest bedroom... Y'all stocked up for the election rush? I need to find some more Varget and 308 projectiles...
Varget is in plentiful supply around me. 4350 is hard to find, H4350 is impossible.
308 pills all over the place.
6.5 and creedmoor brass.... Impossible.
>>29563093
that reminds me, I've gotta find some H4350 soon too, I'm all out and my Swedish mausers are hungry
Ugh... I was gonna start reloading soon. Should I wait til the panic begins to subside?
What's the most deadly arm of the military, in terms of number of casualties inflicted? I read that during WWII the biggest killer was artillery, and that it was responsible for more deaths than any other unit type. Is this still true for modern wars? Or is air superiority and bombing more deadly?
>>29562574
Artillery, still, not including massive bombings on civilians or nukes.
>>29562731
Nice. Is it a popular MOS? I mean everyone thinks being 11B or 0311/grunt is being a "killer", when in reality you get to blast the most people from a distance.
>>29562795
Artillerymen are dumb and incompetent, t. Finn.
It's a lot of dakka though and a well-trained squad can send great amounts of ordnance down range in minimal time.

I ain't no senator's son
>>29562521
God I love that song.
"Silver spoon in hand" By the Senators Sons for anyone wondering.
Mind you "House in new Orleans" and "I see a red door" are stellar too.

KEK
So, I recently came into the ownership of this lovely Winchester Model 1897 Takedown Shotgun, and I have a couple of questions for the fine folk of /k/
1. Will this gun handle normal shotgun loads?
2. Should I reblue the barrel or leave it as is?
3. Does anyone have an old owner's manual as a pdf? I'd like to make sure I lube and clean his properly, tis a beautiful gun.
>>29562463
Posting the model stamp.
>>29562463
Hey i've got the same gun! and yeah I shoot fiocchi high brass #2 steel shot out of it no problem for duck hunting
>>29562527
Awesome, any idea how this performs with slugs or sabot?
I ate some mre's while innawoods this week and was wondering if I should keep them. I got them from a friend a while ago and somestuff inside says it expired in 08
While they're probably fine, I've personally never seen either of those two, which means the military has stopped handing them out. Those things can last forever though.
Just use common sense, if you open anything and it smells/tastes bad, stop eating it.
>>29562292
Thought these things had self lives of like 20 years?
>>29562327
Fuck yeah! Beef teryaki was one of my favorites! But I don't think others liked it much... I know they stopped with it years and years ago because I've been out for over three years now and don't remember that one being around since I was in Iraqistan (2008).
Hey /k/ Im not a professional at this shit and honestly, Im bamboozled. Is it a clip or a magazine on this imaginary weapon.
Drum.
>>29562251
clip. magazine completely encloses the round and is detachable.
Probably some kind of clip, assuming that half circle thing is where ammo is loaded
Kind of reminds me of how the bastard In metro is reloaded
so, I'm kind of curious.
Is there anyone on here who has experience with a MG42/M53/MG3?
I'm talking about actually using it in training or in combat.
How did you like it?
>>29562191
Shits out rounds so fast i found it hard to qual at first. Takes some getting used to after the 240.
>>29562191
Haven't even't seen one myself, but I'm curious how the high cyclic rate affects lifetime durability, or if certain countries who use them modify the cyclic rate. Also curious as to how many countries who haven't adopted them for the infantry have a few of them as a gpmg on vehicles they have bought from Germany, or Spain, etc. (thinking polish Leo2s)

>Modernized MG42
i have 45 acres of land i have owned for the past couple years. there is a ~15 acre field that is a set back from the road in the woods. there is a path vehicles can get to it through the woods. it has been a long time party spot since past owners did nothing to stop the degenerates. i've busted up a couple high school kid parties. things seem to be getting worse. people are dumping trash rutting up the formerly picturesque field. it is extremely frustrating to say the least. so before i lose my shit and end up shooting someone, i need your help.
i want /k/'s...
Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
It depends on your state laws. In New Hampshire you can put up big POSTED signs on the trees warning that trespassers will be shot and then you're legally in the clear.
>grab double barrel shotgun
>step out on back porch
>fire 2 shots in the air
>>29562154
Block the road, put up a sign of private property (trespassers will be shot [if legal])
Just had a massive range day and really need to clean my rifles but i'm out of gun oil
what can I use to replace it? I have a whole heap of cooking oils and there is a hardware store just down the street which should have motor oils
nearest gun shop is nearly an hour away :/
>>29562144
I should clarify that I'm also out of motor oil
>>29562144
Go to Auto parts store and pick this up. Its works fucking great, and costs less than gun oil too.
Just use canola oil, OP.
I'm confused. Buying ammo online for my Walther PP in .32 ACP/7.65mm
But isn't 9mm luger a bit longer of a round than .32 ACP?
http://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/ppu-32-auto-71-grain-fmj-50-rounds?a=1584518
Shit on me all you want, but just let me know that way I don't waste the money on ammo.
>>29562073
9mm is .357 caliber, while 32acp is .32 caliber. they ARE NOT interchangeable.
So don't buy 9mm.
It shoots .32 acp.
So just buy that instead of the 9mm in your picture.
>>29562073
No, the pressures are very different and the calibers are also different. 9mm is equivalent to a .38 caliber neck casing while .32 ACP goes close to an 8mm neck casing. Not to mention that the 2mm extra in 9mm won't fit in your magazines. Unless you want a mangles hand and shrapnel, keep it .32 ACP
I need a way to tighten my ar15 castle nut, I ordered an armorer's wrench like a month ago but it hasn't arrived. Anyone know any way to tighten it without one?
Put a punch or chisel in the slot and hammer it.
>>29562066
A decent strap wrench could do it.
Or you could take a piece of scrap metal and make an adapter.
Get one off amazon and have it one-day shipped.
what kind of optics best for AR10? Or any semi-auto .308, I'm interested in something red dot, was looking into the Aimpoint PRO. Opinions? Advice?
Torn between quick dot sighting or long range glass myself
I've used my 2moa PRO on an AR-15 out to 500yds, it worked great. If you set the brightness to a very faint setting, it's easy to aim very precisely.
I also have a T2, which has an even crisper dot, though I've only taken it out to 300yds.
Magnification is overrated; it's useful, but people use it unnecessarily. Especially when "parallax free" sights have a tremendous advantage.
>>29562006
To clarify I don't use a magnifier on the dots. Aimpoints are amazing general purpose sights.
Hey /k/
Whats the best way to make an M4 copy?
>>29561892
Buy a Colt 6920 with a M4 roll mark take the 16" barrel off and sell it and buy a 14.5" and pin and weld an extended flash hider on it.
or save a shit ton of money and build it yourself like i did
get an AR15
>>29561924

Why aren't fighter subs a thing? Serious question.
>>29561806
No, this is not a serious question.
That thing looks like a concept from Star Citizen.
It happened today. half of the people flaked, but we still had fun.
>>29561641
was there,worth it.
should have taken a pic while i had my stuff thrown around.
My new sig feels unloved.
I hope all the attendees had fun.
I don't know when I'll do this again. We might want to start talking about who wants to go to nuggetfest in Virginia this June.
Bring BBQ next time.
