What are the differences, pros/cons of an aluminum vs steel 1911 frame?
>>28349403
Pros: Its slightly lighter
Cons: Everything else
>>28349403
>alu
+lighter
-weaker
>steel
+more authentic
+stronger
-heavier
>>28349433
>>28349438
Figured that much. If you're not trying to put hot loads through it, will the service life be comparable?
>>28349403
Aluminum is lighter and requires less corrosion protection. Steel is better in all other aspects.
Not enought differences to avoid an aluminium frame.
>>28349438
More than just weaker for aluminum. They throw the balance off (not really a huge deal, but its still noticeable), you can't use standard magazines (with steel followers) unless you have a steel insert soldered into the feed ramp, and the felt recoil is significantly more than that of a steel frame (or even an aluminum frame 220 in .45.
I'd only consider an aluminum frame 1911 if it was strictly for carry, and even then I'd be hard pressed to choose it over steel.
>>28349459
Al wears much faster. Can't take as much of a beating either.
Whats the "best" IWB holster for a G19?
>>28349459
Assuming you use the right springs and use a shock buff or something similar (I think springco makes a good two-piece buffer guide rod) it shouldn't make that much of a difference. The link or barrel will go before the frame. Also depends strongly on the make of the gun. I know of aluminum Kimbers (inb4 I get meme'd at) with thousands of rounds of .45 Super through them that held up better than steel Rugers.
>>28349403
My main deal with the 1911 is that steel feels much more balanced as the mag is emptied.
>>28349507
I personally like the Bladetech nano.
It really comes to personal preference though, and the blade tech isn't too expensive and it hides the gun well.
I have one for my G32 and I love it.
>>28349538
Sorry, I should have mentioned I was looking for a hybrid holster.
>>28349522
What Rugers are steel framed? They do a 1911 now?
is 500 usd a good price for a used gp 100 with lett grips?

Where can I find a good IWB holster for a Model 19 S&W 4" barrel?
>>28350854

>>28349708
They do a pretty damn decent 1911 for the price. As always, ignore the price on their website and shop around.
What is a good budget 308 round for practicing with a tikka t3? I work at an Academy sports right now and I can't pass up getting one for $500 while I still can. I don't really have anywhere to shoot beyond 200yds right now, though after I've finished school I plan on moving out to Wyoming/Utan/Idaho/Arizona, somewhere long distance shooting wouldn't be a hassle. I could by the cheapest shit in the store but that's not how a good rifle deserves to be treated.

Is it autistic to pick a gun based on exterior design?
>>28351989
no, it's just elitist, but not a huge issue considering the active aftermarkets these days
Is ~$300 for a police trade-in S&W Model 10? Really want a babby's first revolver
>>28352006
How is it elitist? If I think a certain gun looks pretty I'll buy it, not to show off but because I find it aesthetically pleasing even if uglier guns perform better.
looking to buy my first gun, would it better to go to an actual local gun store or a bigger chain like AIM, what about pawn shops and more rural orientated stores?
How do burglars usually break into a home?
>>28352062
>because I find it aesthetically pleasing even if uglier guns perform better.
answered your own questions
but again, aftermarket does exist so the real difference is negligible as long as you're within a reasonable price range
>>28352094
local gun store, big chains will usually have people who know nothing about what they're selling you and are less likely to let you fingerfuck the gun to get a feel for it
pawn shops are great if you know what you want or have a general idea and want to shop around, but go in with some knowledge or you can get conned
whats a good site to find the cheapest ammo online?
are there any good budget irons for an AR?
Just picked up a remington 870 express magnum with 50 rounds of rifled slugs and 50 00 buck for $150, did I do good? Also, can I shoot rifled slugs in a non-rifled barrel with no choke?

Unless you can get a Matech for cheap, Magpul MBUS is the best for cheap
>>28352568
>50 slugs and 50 rounds of 00 buck, plus a gun for $150
Yes thats fucking good, fucking hell, do you not ever go to gun shops and look at ammo prices?
>Also, can I shoot rifled slugs in a non-rifled barrel with no choke?
Yeah, thats the whole fucking point of rifled slugs.

Hey guys, trying to find myself a good m65 style jacket like the one in the lower middle of this picture. Do you guys have any good recommendations as to where you can buy these? It doesn't have to be black but it has to be a decently thick m65. My ex had her uncle's and it was super fashionable, but it was too small for me to wear.

I've been looking at the Rock Island Armory M1911-A2 FS Tactical for a while. It's a double stack version. Anything wrong with them?
How wide are they?
http://www.tombstonetactical.com/catalog/rock-island/1911-a2-fs-tactical-pistol-45acp-5in-14rd-parkerized/
Lightweight 1911's have a shorter half-life. They're prone to cracking at the slide-stop pin hole, and the point where the dust cover meets the frame, etc. Yeah, you shouldn't shoot steel followers in a LW frame, but I prefer the Devel style follower.
LW Commanders have been around forever. LW Officers have been around for , what- 25 years? It's not immature technology. If you wear one out you've cost-exceeded the value of the gun in ammo. I'd probably part it out on Gunbroker.
That said- the LW 1911's handle fantastic- the real sleeper of the bunch is a LW 5". They're quicker out of the leather, and transitions from one target to another feel quicker.
Is the rock island m206 snubby a shit?
>>28352779
Get an Austrian one. Usually between $20 and $30. I've had mine for several years now and it's still holding up perfectly.
As you get shorter with 1911's the reliability takes a hit. That light slide really speeds up, so the magazine struggles to bring the next round up in time for the slide to strip the round. You'll probably find magazine springs will be key to your future enjoyment.
I've been to a gun show before but i never interacted with much of anything or asked to hold anything.
I'm thinking of going to one again soon to buy something if i can find a deal. I'm just wondering what's generally the best way to respectfully deal with vendors? I don't want to come off as a spazz since my knowledge is limited but i don't want to be looked down upon either i'm not a savant of weaponry.
Like i said a dumb question but i really don't want to leave empty handed if it can be helped and not have any bad experiences lingering over my shoulder.
>>28353183
Just walk around and if you see something you like ask to pick it up.
Really not that hard, gun show people generally aren't the most judgmental people in the world.
>>28353209
After reading some of the gun shop stories threads i get the impression there's some general code of conduct i should be aware of and that's what i'm kind of trying to find out if there is such a thing.
Especially when handling a purchase or potential purchase and getting to know the fire arm before deciding it.
Do you ever have impure thoughts about Khajiit?
>>28350847
Since no one answered it, basically nothing. A longer barrel may swing more smoothly due to the weight. I'm inclined to say that unless you own a lot of shotguns that a 2in difference would be hard to notice. I would go 26 because of weight for long days shooting rabbits.

up until now, I've only owned centerfire rifles. I was thinking I'd get a single break-action 12ga and get a few barrel-inserts for different calibers and whatnot. What is the best price to performance-wise single 12ga? Where could I get barrel inserts for 9mm, 22lr, and so on?

Ak pistol with a magpul handguard
>>28353845
Yeah but there's like ten different kinds of AK pistols. I mean specifically.
>>28353845
wait, shit, its got a skeleton folder on it. So SBR AK then.
>>28353861
idk what kind it is, maybe the slavaboos at the AK general can help more.
>>28353868
Don't think it's even SBRd. Just an SLR-107 with Magpul handguard
>>28353861
m92 pap SBR with a side folding stock and magpul forend
>>28353861
That's a combined gas tube+front sight so probably about a 12.5 inch barrel or so in a 7.26x39
The Arsenal equivalent would be the SLR-107CR with a different muzzle device, a triangle side folder, and the Magpul Zhukov forend.
>>28353770
>What is the best price to performance-wise single 12ga?

I think the thing with furries is that the cat and dog faces can do semi-human expressions. The Khajiit are like 100% catface so it's uncanny valley as fuck.
Can I store my 10/22 with no magazine in it?
>>28354641
why are your ear muffs contacting the stock? Sounds like you're holding it wrong or aren't wearing your earpro correctly.
Also, do a lot of dryfire practice and stop being a jumpy pansy, the gun won't hurt you if you're not in front of it and the earpro is on right.
>>28354664
yes
>>28354641
1. There are some earplugs that feel like they're made of some sort of wax that you can mold and conform to the shape of your ear. Those in combination with those plugs that have that plastic connecting piece that pushes them in does a pretty damn good job, although my hearing is already damaged so it might not be as good as I think it is.
2. What do you mean fidgety?
>>28354641
1. Your cheekweld is shit. A proper cheekweld will allow you to be able to shoot with muffs
2. Dry fire and practice your fundamentals at home

Seeing as gun laws are going to be eased back a bit in my country, I've been wondering something.
When you see a brawl on the street (in this case, it was two adults vs 8 teenagers trying to act tough), and one side (teenagers) has a tire iron, while the other (adults) has a 2x4 and they're both going at it with said weapons, is it justified and/or illegal to fire a warning shot to break it up?
Scenario I just gave actually happened in my country today, and one of the adults suffered serious brain damage after he got hit with the tire iron in the head a couple of times.
>>28359832
no. just report the incident to the local LE. you don't want to get involved in that shit.

It will be my first large gun. Don't live in a bad neighborhood or anything but I'd like to get one before the election.
Money is no object, but I want the best bang for my buck, and dont wanna pay more than I have to.
Is it true that a high quality AK would cost less than a medium quality AR? Needs ergonomics and reliability. A respectable gun I can keep hopefully forever.
>>28360531
AR.
You can build a $400 PSA build, or go balls to the wall and spend $1200+ on a tacticool rifle, and anywhere in between.
Is it legal to send a holster from USA to Europe? I've heard that some of gun related items that are not weapons are restricted for shipping.
>>28360531
It's ultimately up to you, don't let idiots with their jaded opinions taint your decision making. There are a few points to keep in mind though:
>Environment
Do you live in the plains? if so, maybe an AR with a 20" barrel would suit you more. Heavily forested/hilly area? Maybe an AK would be better.
>Ammo availability
if you're truly concerned about potential gun legislation, maybe an AR would be better (since it can take .223 and 5.56). Like buying ammo in bulk? Maybe 7.62x39 spam cans would make some good furniture.
>Parts/Longevity
From what I've HEARD, the reliability argument for the AK is a bit of a moot point with the wide availability of cheap AR parts. That's not to say those parts aren't attainable for an AK either, just that they're more common.
>Fun Factor
do you want to innanam? blast whitesnake from your house while shooting intruders/raiders? do you often break into fits of uncontrollable applause? AR.
do you use cosmoline as personal lubricant? did you lose your virginity to a mosin? is your name Artyom? AK.
tl;dr fuck all opinions, including what I just said. get what makes you happy and serves you best.
>pic related, me after I post this
All right lads, I want to build myself a trench gun for cheap, like under $500 if possible. I'd like to have wood (or fake wood?) furniture, bayonet mount and slamfire capability a must, exact historical accuracy optional. What do? It looks like IAC/Norinco used to make pretty much exactly this, but that they don't anymore, and I wouldn't mind a 3" chamber if possible. Or maybe I should just wait for one of the repros to crop up on gunbroker. Thoughts?
>>28360682
I asked this exact question about a week or two ago in this general and no one helped me.
From what I found online, most, if not all, of the reasonably priced trench models are bought up.
BUT
I did find a Norinco/IAC M97 sold by none other than fucking Bud's Gun Shop and bought it.
http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/37_288/products_id/1767/INTER+97+12+20+HAMMER+PUMP+SGN+WAL

http://www.ima-usa.com/u-s-wwi-winchester-m-1897-trench-gun-ventilated-barrel-jacket-heat-shield-with-bayonet-mount.html
From looking at the current fitting on the end of the tube, it's all affixed with plain old screws. I plan on getting one of these (hopefully I can find it a little cheaper) as well as a bayonet for it.
remember, momma don't like tattletales.
>>28360803
oh, and I forgot to say. the wood on mine is pretty fantastic. the only real imperfections I've noticed are some minor wear along the tube from the pump, but considering this bitch can slamfire, I probably would have done that myself after a month anyways.

Slightly more expensive, but it's either the same thing marketed as being OK to shoot with or actually built to shoot with. So.
Collapsible batons vs Knives for self defense?
A baton seems so much more appealing to me since I'm pretty sure when it came to it I wouldn't have it in me to cut somebody, but I'd be completely fine with cracking some ribs.
>>28360803
Bear in mind you'll need to cut clearance notches in the barrel to prevent the adapter from sliding, These also require a different magazine tube cap, but these show up on the parts and auction sites quite often.
Here is the business end of my IAC trench gun.
>>28361557
>>28361613
thanks for the info. if it doesn't want to plug and play, I'll probably just take it to a gunsmith and have it done right, I'm not exactly handy with metal and will likely end up with it canted and it will forever be a trigger for me.
Is it out of line to ask for a gun in box rather than the one on display?
Can I get a price check drawn from your opinions?
>3 inch barrel raging judge magnum
I see other people selling them for close to $1000 online, but usually never any bidders. I have been trying to sell a black one for $750, but I think I'm going to have to drop to $500.
I guess there was a huge quality scare in this model particularly.
>20 ga side-by-side remington baikal shotgun
Never been used, perfect condition, very nice wood stock. I was thinking $500 or so.
Recommended sights for a Glock 19 gen 3? It's my carry gun and I've come to realize that when it gets even a little bit dark, I can't see shit with the stock sights.
I've heard good things about pic related, but I was also looking at TruGlo and Meprolight Tru-dot (and frankly the colored sights look cooler).
Meprolight Tru-dot is also only $60
TruGlo is $80
Trijicon is $100
I've come to learn that when it comes to gun related things, you get what you pay for. What does /k/ think?
>>28361784
No, in fact they shouldn't be selling the displays of new guns unless they have the box and etc.

Wilson Combat charges $165. Not sure if that includes the sights, but since they specify Tritium Trak-Lok then I'm assuming it does.
>>28362554
I don't really want to send it away though. It's pretty much a one-day job, I just don't have the tools to tap the receiver and I don't want to be left holding the bag if I fuck up
>>28362321
Probably refers to the unit it belonged to.
>>28362610
Asking your local gunsmith to drill and tap should be about a $70 job. $90-$100 for the whole installation sounds about right.
>>28361784
if it's the only one they have, then its your choice.
if its a model they regularly carry, and they refuse to sell you a new in box one, talk to the manager and either get a boxed one or never go there again

>>28361031
depending on the construction of the suppressor they are only good for a certain number of shots. if it's a hardy baffle construction that comes apart for cleaning it'll last until you start getting baffle strikes as long as you clean it regularly, but those are relatively new on the scene. if you can't open it up to clean they gum up, if it uses felt or steel wool it gums up.

Did we used to have someone posting cartoon porn of anthropomorphized tanks on tank threads?
How do I get into gun ownership and shooting? Not so much what to buy, but what my first steps should be. I'm guessing something like taking a CCW class and then regular range trips would be a good approach. We're assuming, of course, that I have no friends or at least no one willing and able to teach me.
>>28363010
yeah that or buy a cheap rifle and watch lots of youtube videos.
>>28363312
Just making sure I don't have a completely retarded idea. Thank you.
The PTR91/G3/C308 is banned in my state. If i built one from a flat receiver would I have anything to worry about legally? Or would i be covered under the ATF's rules that say you can build whatever assuming it's not an NFA item?

Will CMP run out of field and/or service grade garands any time in the near future?
>>28364195
no one knows. some asswipe could order every gun they have left then sell them all at a profit. or they could last for another year.
>>28363830
hell yes
>>28364195
Yes. I think the projection, if they keep going at the current rate, is that they run out sometime this year or very early 2017
>>28364225
Gotchya. Just trying to plan my next gun purchase. I want a garand, but I'm unsure of whether or not I should prioritize buying one in case CMP runs out of 'em. I guess there are always other ways for me to buy a garand, though.
>>28363628
if it's banned it's still banned, varies a bit state by state though in ct it was if the gun was in the same caliber and had some significant part interchangeability it was the same gun no matter what you called it for example.
you get no coverage at the state level from the atf.
>>28364275
I'm prioritizing to buy a garand as my next gun purchase. you'll spend almost twice what you would buying one from cmp if you just bought it off of bubba on armslist. buy one while you can. but save one for me.
>>28364318
Thanks anon. Will do.
So /k/, I come to you once again for help.
My buddy had a garage fire, and in it he lost a Mak-90, a M1 Garand, and a browning hi-power.
The m1 and the hi power were complete losses
But the Mak-90, that's where I need help. It burned, but the primary damage is the retardant used by the FD extinguishing the fire, and the furniture is gone.
The internals seem O K, but I haven't looked at it much.
It had a thumb hole stock, as I've heard that makes some relevance with 922(r) and how the stock fits the receiver.
I apologize for my ignorance surrounding this rifle.
I should have images soon, but tonite I do not.
Have anyone has experience here?
I hope to restore this gun. Is there any hope?
Thanks in advance
>>28353839
>this machine kills daemons
>Mark of Khorne on the grip
Let's say I have one of those PTR PDWs. If I were to put a stock on it, that'd be an SBR. But since the barrel is threaded, if a silencer were added, would that count towards overall length and turn it into a normal rifle given a stock and a length of 26 inches or greater?
>>28359476
>bojack horseman
mein nigger
>>28365727
if it was pinned and welded bringing the barrel length to 16 yeah you could put a stock
if the overall with stock was 26+ but the barrel+perm attached silencer was under 16 it would be a sbr
>>28365753
So it'd have to be permanently attached then?
>>28349438
>Weaker
If you say so, Anon. I would imagine that the greater flexibility of Aluminum would be doing you favors.
>>28365768
yes and you would still need the nfa stamp for the silencer
if your already getting one stamp whats another 200 to make it not a complete pain in the ass to clean
Can /k/ help me out? I went to my local surplus store and spent about $90 on a helmet and cost. I really think both of these are fake.

That's in .308 yeah? Odd choice for a pdw/pistol I think
>>28366011
Yeah. Wanted it for the SBR potential down the road.
>>28365727
The suppressor would need to be perma pinned which is pretty stupid on a 308
>>28354691
Nice.

How do people afford so guns? Are they just cheaper in America or something?
>>28365528
wood furniture comes up as people tacticool them, this stock will work if you care about 922, and most anything can be made to work if you don't.

>>28365924
can't tell for sure from pics, but that looks like korean war era stuff, you did ok at $90. if it's real leather, steel, and wool it would cost significantly more than that for repro re-enactor gear.

How did humans kill megafauna like the mammoth with nothing but a bunch of rocks and sticks(with rock tips)? How did they fend off giant bears, wolves, lions and tigers?

>>28367104
looks kind of silly, if you're hitting someone with your gun you're doing it wrong. i can't really think of a modern, legal scenario where you should be pistol whipping someone.
>>28367091
We are much smarter than animals. We are also pack hunters. Early humans would just chase animals until they collapsed from exhaustion. We are really good at running for long periods, other animals are good for sprinting. We just tracked and tracked until they died.
Big animals we drove off cliffs, or you could just bleed the thing. One spear won't kill it, a few dozen eventually will.
Think of how you would kill a large animal with spears and a few dozen men. Our ancestors were no dumber in the "practical" knowledge department.
>>28367179
i was thinking after you're out of ammo, i would never hold a loaded gun by the barrel
>>28367194
>Early humans would just chase animals until they collapsed from exhaustion
except for abos. Abos went full fucking Lord of the Flies and burned their whole goddamn island down hunting
I kind of want to buy a military bolt action, and I'm thinking of getting a Springfield 1903 because America and because I can actually source ammo for it easily and cheaply.
Are they worthwhile to try to get? What's a good price for one?

Is a Glock 19 a decent beginners handgun?
>>28367501
it's the mcdonalds/honda accord/coca cola of handguns
yes
>>28367194
But we had large scavengers and other predators that would smell the kill, we'd have to be constantly on guard. I just don't see how we managed to kill something as large as a mammoth and then fend of something as large as a short-faced bear. I guess chasing them off cliffs worked, but then you'd need cliffs to be around.
Trump talking about building a strong military, how exactly do we do that without pumping more money into it?
>>28368018
this is what I've heard from him:
we're going to save by not needing to use it, since our strength will be such a deterrent
he's also said that other countries are going to have to step up financially where we are providing a military presence

Are glock mags universally shit, or was it just the (several) I've tried at the store? They're all made of plastic and kind of stick in the magwell instead of popping out like most other guns I handle.
Do pistol rear sights need to be centered on the slide?
I just installed new meprolights on my glock. I'm using a sight pusher tool and a laser bore sighter. I have been adjusting my rear sight with the laser and finally got the sights and lasers aligned. But when I look at the slide overall I can very clearly see the rear sights have been drifted more towards the right whereas before with the stock sights the rear sights was centered in the middle of the slide. Is this normal?
>>28353322
Some. The more "realistic" ones with more animal features... no.
>>28358990
Something similar exists called the Rossi Circuit Judge, I think.
>>28349497
this.
If you notice, the AR-15 is designed to divert as much force as possible away from the aluminum parts, and designed to avoid sharp angles. This is much harder to do with a pistol.
Gonna be weak shit, can probably ruin it by stepping on it.
Anon.
Think of a paperclip, made of steel, can be bent a lot. Think of a razor blade, it's springy and hard to bend, also very resilient.
Now think of aluminum in those same applications.
Would you use Al for any thing that takes a lot of force and can injure you if it fails? Al with steel parts wearing on it, hammering on a 90 degree angle made of aluminum all day?
is .38 or 9mm better for a CCW revolver?
why?
>>28370838
I think 9mm because
>very comparable muzzle energy
>doesn't break your wrist
>more booleets
>>28370838
Or, assuming our semantics isn't shit, I would go with the .38 because 9mm revolvers are a shit.

How? I'd assume that a lot of the parts would still be okay, since metal, and that only the furniture would burn away? Or do those guns have more plastic than I thought?
>>28365774
Aluminum is weaker than steel, there's no going around it. Maybe you're thinking of titanium?
is there any improvised modern melee weapon more effective than the paperclip flail?
