Funny way to say genius
Because it's not legal you egg
Hey /k/, I'm looking into buying my first AR with my tax refund. My budget for the whole deal, rifle, optics, and accessories, is $1000. Kinda set on the DPMS Oracle; but tossing around a couple other options as well and I wanted to see what you gents have to say about it.
Before you start with the poorfag and "no good AR under $3k" shit like I see so frequently on this board I'll just say this now: Blow it out your ass; light mechanics don't make enough for that. I just want something solid I can build on for sport shooting and home defense.

Smith and Wesson MP sport II, or the ruger ar 5.56, both should be around $650
>>29405820
What do you want to do with it? Plinking, tacticool drills, target shooting...?
For glass there's nothing wrong with a plain old hunting scope. Burris 2x7's and 3x9's cost under $200 on Opticsplanet.com. They're nice and bright and guaranteed for life.
The MP sport II is actually my second choice. I do have a .38 Bodyguard by S&W which has never once let me down; but I wanted to kinda have a bigger optics budget.
Southern African Reading List
A few weeks ago I posted a thread asking if anybody wanted a brief reading list on Southern African bush wars. It’s a small part of a project I am doing on COIN in the 20th century. I was glad to see some serious interest expressed about it. A lot of the Rhodesia threads devolve into shitposting over race and there is almost nothing on here about the SADF beyond gear.
Below are links and and titles to some articles and books that /k/ might find interesting. By no means is this a complete list. These are just some of the highlights...

Durand, Arn. Zulu Zulu Golf followed by Zulu Zulu Foxtrot.
Durand talks about his years with the Koevoet police force in Namibia fighting SWAPO insurgents. It is an intense account, and shows how badly the lines were blurred when it came to dealing with civilians and insurgents. Even the Ovambo tribesmen that joined the unit shared the unadulterated hatred towards the insurgents, some of whom were from the same village. It is a bit edgy, but Durand shows some of the stark contrasts between the SAP and SADF. It is important to understand the contrasts,...

These are listed by a local auction as "2 small military warheads"
Any idea what they are?

Training bombs.
They're inert, and were design to have the same ballistics as real bombs.
So /k/ would it be worth saving the money for an Arsenal ak, or just going for a cheaper ak.
>>29404967
Save up for the arsenal
>someone who has/had wasrs, m70s, veprs and still prefer my slr107
>>29404986
Huh, i thought veprs were supposed to be the best kind of ak form what I heard.
>>29405084
My VEPR was amazing, but it didn't have anything special over my SLR which is why I sold it. The quality was amazing but it was incredibly heavy for nothing added in my eyes. My SLR is just as accurate but lighter. A VEPR would make a nice range or a bench gun, but I wouldn't want to lug one around anywhere for an extended period of time.
ITT we tell OP how much of a cool guy he is

Nice floor faggot
Just moved to Colorado two weeks ago. Earlier this week I tried to order some 30 round magazines for my AR and during checkout I was informed that sale to Colorado was prohibited. GASP... There's a fucking 15 round magazine limit here.
Fast forward a few days and I'm in a local gun store. Guess what? They're selling 30, 40, hell even 60+ round magazines. But wait... despite being fully assembled and ready to go they're not technically "magazines" they're "magazine rebuild kits".
What the fuck Colorado?! It appears the...

Laws are stupid, more at 11.
You can probably buy the gun you want, just look for it being sold with 10 or 15 round magazines instead of the full sized.
>>29404328
Roger that, anon.
The thing that gets me is I know some states are actually very strict about that shit. My buddy in Massachusetts says they'd jail your ass on the spot if they caught you with a pre-94 30 round magazine. It's just frustrating how the 15 round limit is law here yet licensed gun stores openly defy the regulation using the term "magazine rebuild kit" to skirt the gray area law. Hopefully they overturn that shit soon but with the amount of liberals flooding into this state...

Meant to say post-94 30 round magazine. This goes for any magazine above 10 rounds in that faggy state.
Anyone got any stories of making their own fire arms or ever wanted too?
I would like to make something like what's in the image and would like some advice.

you know that's a cosplay prop, right?
It's all I could find that was close enough
There's a video of what I kinda want to make but it doesn't show much
There was no chance of Axis establishing a long-term alliance with the USSR, under any circumstances. Both sides had always planned on going to war against the other party for at least half a decade leading up to 1941; their ideologies were utterly antithetical despite a mutual enmity with the western allies. Stalingrad was a defeat for the Axis but the mere act of attempting to take it wasn't a mistake; they wouldn't have been able to hold the Caucasus without it, and the Soviets absolutely couldn't afford to lose it. Rather, the mistake the Germans made was...

cool story kamerad
They only lost because the US and British spoonfed them supplies. Russian tankers preferred Shermans and Churchills over russian designs. The Russians didn't make their own train until after the war.
They lost because their allies were worthless
And the west was filled with edgy commies who didn't bring any manpower/took large garrisons
Redpill me on the ARX100. I have yet to hold/see one IRL but I am hearing alot of good things about them.

I am not looking to buy one, just curious if beretta has made a quality product.

what's not to like? I'm pretty pumped to replace my patrol AR with this.
>>29404054
lightweight
reliable
not the most accurate
not very modular
somewhat odd ergo's
quick change barrel works well
ambi ejection
super heavy trigger pull
somewhat complex internals
It's alright. Not that amazingly great or revolutionary, but inexpensive enough to warrant a purchase for the features it offers.
I wouldn't mind owning a SBR version in FDE.

Hey /k/, anyone here own a Berthier carbine? I'm looking to add one to my milsurp collection, but don't know much about them. What's an average price for one? What should I look for? What to avoid?
>>29404029
200-300 seems to be the average going rate. Mine is a 1892 made in 1910. Got it for $250. Ammo is expensive thou so reload.
Nothing important to look for from what I've seen. Just make sure it's in good shape and original caliber.
The 1916 model has the rear sling swivel on the ride side of the stock and a top handguard, this verison also has the 5 shot magazine. The 1892, 1907 rifle and rest have the rear sling swivel on the bottom. No handguard and 3 shot capacity. Other minor differences...

Thanks. Is it true you can only shoot modern ammo out of ones marked with a "N" on the barrel and receiver?

Here's a good site with info on the berthiers and french guns.
