Anyone have a suggestion for a decent caliber gun? I don't know too much about guns and want to shoot some stuff around the forest. Budget is under 200 dollars.
10/22 on slickguns for 189$
Ruger 10/22 or similar.
Stevens 320 or Maverick 88.

Would a .22 be too small or not bad?
I have a chance to trade $425 of gun and cash for an older Aimpoint CompML with a killflash on a GG&G cantilever mount,
Is this a good deal? Its an older red dot that doesn't have the eternal battery life of later models. Should I just spend a few more shekels and get a newer one?
Aimpoints are shit. If you want a red dot find something designed/sold on the civilian market.

As a side note, anyone know where I can find information for becoming a licensed importer of firearms in Canada? Everything I search for comes up with regulations for individuals. This guy wants his business to be a licensed importer.
>>29166186
avoid, working in a gun store is bad enough, opening one with two people you dont know and have no idea whether or not they have the slightest clue about anything gun related just sounds like a trainwreck
i fail to see how this is a "great job", chances are you dont have a clue how to run any store let alone a gun store.
>>29166265
I do know them, albeit not very well.
They guy already has a small business of his own that's doing fine. He mostly wants to set this up for his son, and also because he likes guns. I totally trust his competency in running the business.
I'll add that I'm unemployed right now, and the jobs I've had since I moved to the US have been shit. I would definitely enjoy working with guns all day and/or doing administrative work.
Hey /k/
Are Mosin Nagant M39's worth paying around $375 plus any kind of FFL transfer fee?
I'd be using it for mostly target shooting, but also to kinda show off since the rifles do have really cool histories to them.
>>29166129
No. Mosin Nagants are not worth that much unless it's a rare variant or in unissued condition.
>>29166129
Yeah if it's in good condition
>>29166164
Thanks, I had heard mosins were crappy but that these were the "best of the worst" basically. What would /k/ recommend as a good WWII era bolt action with decent accuracy?
I picked up a couple of Baofengs for when out camping with the family away from digital civilization. I wanted a weather radio and a MURS system in one package. Now I'm reading that using MURS on a non-part-95 compliant device, even in 1 watt mode, is illegal.
So here I am reading up on getting a Technician's license. I have a couple of questions for any radio guys.
1. Is there any point in bothering with the license if I'm going to be the only one in my family using it? If there's some benefit to my community I can provide or shit like that,...

Not OP but I got mine in the mail a week ago. Just bee fidelling woth it lately because I don't know a single info about radios.
A few questions of my own.
I can it on the frequency of a Walkie talkie but the UV5R receives from the Walkie talkie but not the other way around. Only one way. Any idea why?
Can I use this as a marine radio? Basically just program in the channels that a normal marine radio has, like 16, and stuff.
The radio I have in my boat has removable antenna and I stronger than .5 watt, how is that legal?
Nobody would be able to tell if you're using a non compliant radio without going through a lot of trouble. If you guys want to be legal run through some online tests for the ham radio Tech license. Even if you have zero electronic skills it's easy to memorize enough answers to pass. Make a family day out of it. You can use mobile radios with much more power too. Ham radio licenses need to be renewed every ten years so once you get it you have it forever. You or a family member might actually like the hobby. Who knows?
>>29165572
It appears that channel 16 is 156.8 MHz, which is definitely in the UV5R VHF range. Guess you can.

So /k/, do tripods increase the muzzle velocity of machine guns?
Because this guy certainly thinks they do:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivYlHU0Zi-I
Tripod mounted machine guns ARE more effective than an unmonted one, but not in the way he's speaking of.
>>29165419
Obviously, you've been using the wrong tripods, then.
>>29165419
He literally never says that in the video.
Is bore-axis just a meme /k/?
I returned from the range today after trying a few different pistols and I'm actually a bit confused . Full disclosure: I'm a no-guns and my combined shooting experience doesn't amount to more than first impressions of any particular gun.
I don't know how it is at most ranges, but the one I go to lets you swap out guns of the same caliber when you're renting. They don't have a huge selection but my gf, my buddy and I ended up shooting:
My buddy's Jerico in .40 S&W
Sig P229
Glock 17
Beretta...

>SIG had the nicest trigger
>Glock had snappy grip
Either you're new to handguns or you're an idiot.
>>29165340
You're absolutely right about bore axis being an overblown characteristic relative to other factors like frame material
However, a high grip on the gun can help in mitigating recoil. Is it far and away the largest factor? No. But it's one of the easiest things to attack about the 22X line on /k/, so there you go.
>>29165340
It is, in fact, a factor.
But it's not as big as people want you to think.
It really only becomes a huge thing if you're doing competitions with it.
What's this stuff? Is it a HAM radio? I found a bunch of helmets and an antenna with it next to my apartment complex garbage. It has a bunch of batteries and cables too. Sorry for shit lighting. I think it's an old tank crew radio system.
>>29165092
Das a pretty nice find mang.
>>29165092
Post better pictures of the electronics.
>>29165311
Hold on give me a second.
Why do some people on here black out the serial number in paint when they post pics of their guns?
>>29164684
Incase some basement dweller wants to troll and make someones life hard report the gun stolen, itll lead to some serious shit if you ever get caught with it by police. Also the fucking serial number has all your info same as your ID
>>29164684
Because this is 4chan and some jackass might report that firearm as stolen.
>>29164696
Thanks
During a proper magazine explosion on a battleship/cruiser, will the turret fly up in the air like a tank turret or will the volume of explosives in the magazine below simply blow it into shards and fuck everyone in the superstructure adjacent to the turret itself?
>>29163729
a tank turret is not like a ships gun turret
>>29163785
Well yeah, the ship turret simply rests on the bearings and stays in place via weight, the tank turret is more firmly attached.
>>29163845
if you "ammo rack" a ship, the explosion would occur inside the turret, so it can't be blown out of popped off like a tank turret, however, the cap of the ships turret could be blown off, but unlikely considering the relative small amount of ammo that is inside, and which would be needed to propel that amount of weight off the ship
I think I'm going to get one, especially for the improved gas system and how it is attached. Key Mod or M-Lok for the URX?
>>29163529
>Should I buy one (SR 15 Mod2)?
Yes.
>Key Mod or M-Lok for the URX?
I'd lean towards the M-Lok, but if you can find a key mod version for less than the newer M-Lok, that would probably be worth it.
>tfw SR-15 fund turned into surprise car fund
>tfw have enough now to buy an SR-15 and 25
>tfw still car fund
>>29163558
I was leaning towards M-Lok too, but I've heard from friends that it isn't as stable as Key Mod, but he wouldn't say how, just that I have to use both (he owns both). I want something that will work well, but I don't want dicks on my gun.
>>29163641
Weird. I remember reading on instagram one of the carbine instructors (defoor, mcnamara, mcphee? not sure which) saying he had another keymod bipod get sheared off and that it isn't the first time it has happened with keymod stuff.
Don't think it really matters either way. Both are at least decent and most companies make product versions for both. Plus you can always sell it and buy the other for probably not more of a loss than $100.
Just go M-Lok and tell yourself you did it for the MOE grip over the A2.
Who cross dominate here?
I'm right handed but my left eye is definitely my dominate eye. I can't comfortably shoot the vast majority of rifles, so I mainly stick to my Mossberg 500 and handguns. I actually sold my first gun (Marlin 60) and used the money to buy 9mm and 12 gauge buckshot.
I've tried most cross dominate shooting techniques but none have worked that well for me. I'm kinda sad that I sold my first gun but it just wasn't fun to shoot.
>>29163076
I am. Can't shoot a rifle right handed. I've just had to learn to be a left handed shooter since I was 10 or so.
>>29163076
Have you tried putting your sights on a riser and rolling your head over to look through with your left eye? Mike Pannone does this because his right eye is plastic, but it might work for you.
>>29163076
You know you can shoulder a rifle on your left shoulder, right? If anything it means you manipulate the charging handle and magazines with your right hand, feels pretty good m8
Buying my first gun, going with a handgun and I'd like it chambered in 9mm.
I have a maximum of $600 to spend. I'm leaning towards a Glock 19 Gen 4 after seeing so many good reviews on it. Seems like Glock is the Coca Cola of handguns? What other brands should I consider? The dealer I'm going to has a variety, they have FN's, HK's Springfield's and S&W's.
>>29162743
Just get a Glock 19.
>>29162743
Glock 19 is a great first handgun
>no small parts to fuck up
>good capacity
>aftermarket
>good spare parts distribution
To be honest G19 is a perfect first handgun.
9mm won't penetrate goa'uld armor but the Glock 19 is a good gun
HAHAHAHAH... Eurocucks must be shitting their pants now that Russian mil has outclassed them in every which way possible and now that they know that the bear can bite and can take a huge chunk of EU in several weeks.
