Can any /k/ommando identify my granddad's flintlock for me? Only have 3 pics so bare with me
>>29852062
That's not a flintlock. That pistol uses percussion caps.
>>29852062
Going to start off by saying that isn't a flint lock.
>>29852062
>>29852079
>>29852075
I'm obviously not well acquainted with older weapons
>>29852081
Not sure if this helps
So, being a percussion pistol, we know it dates from after 1820. The Minie balls would indicate that it dates from probably after the 1850's, though I can't be sure on that.
Any information in terms of markings would be really helpful.
>>29852062
Look at the barrel, OP.
Are there any proof marks or other symbols pressed into the metal?
>>29852157
>>29852120
"A&T" on the bottom of the grip. There's an indistinguishable number followed by "cal" lightly etched on the left side of the barrel, along with "Custom"

Sig had an error.
I asked in last thread but it was over 300 post mark and only one nice person responded.
If this happens does it mean the gun's extractor or extractor spring is out of spec or could it be another issue as well?
Could under powered ammo or the wrong magazine cause this?
Targets are included so you guys hopefully know I'm not limp wristing or something.
Debating on whether to call sig and if I do call them whether or not to send it back if they ask me to.
I've been debating getting into black powder. Was thinking one of those build a pistol kits may be fun. Any suggestions on a good one?
>>29852773
You basically answered your own question. It's either bad ammo or bad extractor, only way to figure it out is change one of those variables.
Magazines generally don't cause FTEs and if you're using factory Sig or Mec Gar mags then that shouldn't be an issue.
>>29852773
Yes, the extractor looks fucked.
Does the gun cycle and try to double-feed after a failure to extract?
Is this a legit way to hold a peestol?
>>29852898
No. What the fuck is his support hand doing?
>>29852853
>Does the gun cycle and try to double-feed after a failure to extract?
I've got about 250 rounds through it. That picture is the only hiccup.
>>29852816
>It's either bad ammo or bad extractor,
I didn't see anything wrong with the casing but it was Winchester white box 115gr so idk.
I do have some 228 mags which look absolutely identical and didn't think to check the mag.
I really like this gun and how it shoots.
If there's a manufacturing defect that will be extremely disappointing.
>>29852968
Pic of mags, 2 of these are actually 228 mags
>>29852968
>I've got about 250 rounds through it. That picture is the only hiccup.
I mean did the pistol cycle and double-feed when that failure happened?
It's either an extractor problem or ammo with a fucked up rim that caused it to slip. Considering it's a SIG with WWB ammo, either possibility seems equally likely.
>>29853023
Oh, no, that's an empty casing halfway out the chamber, sorry.
Right now, I think I'll call sig but probably just put a few hundred more rounds through it and see if it does it again and thank you for the feedback.
>>29852941
It looks wrong, but not THAT wrong. Finger on the trigger guard is a thing people used to do.
Support hand is way too low, though.
>>29852081
That tin of percussion caps looks fairly modern.
>>29853084
That's what I meant. I don't know the context of the pic, but it looks like he might be about to fire, so I ignored the finger in the trigger.
The weak hand is sitting very weird though and I have no idea what's going on with his left thumb.
>>29853079
Wait... sleepy you meant did the slide go all the way back and push forward on the next round?
Yes, it did do that. Sorry I'm not more well versed on the terms.
>>29852941
>>29853084
>>29853102
Here's a webm if it helps
>>29853250
Black guy is using the shotgun properly. 1911 guy has no idea what he's doing.
>>29853157
Yeah that's what I meant. It just means the cartridge wasn't underpowered and you weren't limp-wristing. It's definitely either the extractor or a messed up rim. Since it's only happened once it could be either.
Definitely shoot it some more and see if it happens again. If it does, check the offending casing and see that the rim isn't visibly fucky or totally missing (fucking Tula). If it looks OK, it's the gun.
My father bought a model 60 clone on a lark at a gunshow, it was just like his childhood .22, scope included.
Lots of memories of collecting bunnies and birds for his homesteading parents, yes they were that old even though he and I aren't.
It's an old off brand but licensed Marlin model 60 out of sears and roebuck back in the day, complete with squirrel carved in the stock and shitty scope.
The problem:
>it will feed and fire just fine when you charge it
>the second shot it will not fire, seems uncocked, but a round having fed correctly
>charging it will eject an unstruck round and feed a new one, yielding correct function on the next trigger pull
>the magazine tube seems straight, my pos never cleaned taken from my grandfather's estate because literally no one else wanted it model 170 or whatever feeds just fine despite the chamber being so dirty it literally cannot lock up to shoot straight
>I cleaned the fuck out of this 60 clone hoping it would work and he would stop bumming about it
>no dice
>the guts however are ugly, like not sure if cheap factory, standard marlin shit, or bubba ugly or some combination
It wasn't expensive granted, but I'd like to have this thing trouble shooted for him by Father's Day
Where do i go from here? Because i honestly have no clue.
It might not be pricey but I think it would really mean something to him. FWIW Mother's Day is already accounted for.
>>29854294
It sounds like a worn out recoil spring.
It's a cheap part, and if you know how to take it apart and put it back together, it should take an afernoon.

>>29852062
It's a replica, for starters.
It looks really cheap, so my bet is on Ardesa or Artax.
what are the pros/cons of a pistol grip bolt action?
>>29855231
>sporterize the shit out of a gun
>put a no-tap scope mount on it
but to answer your question, its comfier for some people but can be bulkier. its more of a personal preference kind of thing.
>>29855281
would it technically take longer to cycle the action and get your hand back on the pistol grip than a rifle grip?
I suppose with a lee enfield action you could still do the mad minute grip
>>29855294
depends on the person but generally the further your hand is from the bolt handle the longer it would take to cycle the action.
Where can I buy one?
Is either American quality ammo, bear ammunition or armscor usa worth a shit? See it for a really good price at a few places and in some cheaper than dirt magazine I got yesterday.
Also always find PRVI on every site I go too, it worth a damn as well?

Track of the Wolf and Dixie are pretty much the only game in town besides the occasional deal on Gunbroker. Also require a lot of fitting so you are hopefully set up on wood working tools, though I have had a friend so it all with nothing but a dremel, he just glass bedded everything he fucked up on, though you can hardly tell looking at it.

Follow up,
FYI if interested, if not sorry about blog
So I called SIG and they say it's user error. The guy actually said, because I asked for clarification, that anything under multiple failures per hundred rounds is considered within manufacturers specification. If the gun fails to extract every 200 rounds that it is quote "acceptable". When I told him that the slide had cycled all the way back he said that I might have been fatigued.
Whatever, this is the nicest shooting gun that I've ever owned but I'm starting to have serious concerns about SIG. I already unloaded the 938 because it was having problems despite being brand new the slide stop would just randomly lock back. Hopefully this was a 1 time only freak occurrence but if it ever happens again I'll react.
Thanks for the feedback.

m1 carbine is pretty light but idk.

>>29855655
That seems way too low

You could probably find one for $800 but if you want a 1940's perfect condition m1 carbine, it could spend as much as $2,300 I guess. Basing this solely on the above link.
>>29855743
Nothing gay with old flintlocks, I can tell you that.
Recoil-wise, they make modern rifles look like a fucking joke.
>>29857097
Ah, the infamous sig customer service.
Fuck you we got ours, oh would you happen to be interested in our new sig double plus navy series??? We engraved 3 anchors into the slide and it only costs 3,999.99.
I do appreciate how they constantly give the ATF the middle finger but I'll never buy a sig in my life I'd I can help it.
>>29857175
It doesn't kick more it just feels like instead of a kick someone is shoving you in my opinion.
>>29857157
Yeah, I'm not looking for perfect condtion, but I want one with the flip sight instead of the adjustable one, Two Rivet non-potbelly stock, no bayo lug and the push button safety.
Mainly, the reason I was asking was there was a quality hardware up for sale with all the correct features at Gouger Mtn for $1400, and I wasn't sure if that was too high
>>29857265
If you can confirm that it's all original then that is pretty darn good.

It depends in the gun. A Charleville at full charge will bruise your jaw and your shoulder if you're not careful.

>>29858900
Anything larger than BB shot, brand literally doesn't matter for HD. Ignore gimmick shit. Ideally, #4. Add or subtract shot size based on your over penetration needs up to 000 buck and down to BB shot.
>>29857320
Try it and find out. There's no penalty for being denied on a 4473.
90% chance it won't turn up.
>>29852898
It's not minmaxed but it's fine. Some shooters will often wrap their support hand index finger around the trigger guard for more comfort and control. Doesn't work for everyone.
>>29858459
Buffer tube is padded to an unknown diameter with foam there, and you know it.
People need to stop shitting up QTD threads with "so smart answer" jokes that ain't even correct and definitely ain't funny to anyone but the underaged or incompetent.
>>29858408
>>29858377
I don't have a carrying handle or anything to measure handy but a slightly warped metal yardstick, so bear with me. I'd put it at 7 1/2" without a carrying handle, and those are about 2 inches high by my memory. That'd be higher if you are mounting onto picatinny versus an upper that has one built in.
>>29859095
Thank you for your help kind anon.
>>29859095
>Buffer tube is padded to an unknown diameter with foam there, and you know it.
Okay, so use any other known measurement, like the magazine. Think outside of the box, Anon.
>>29856680
No. Springs will wear out from use. Keeping them loaded will not produce an adverse effect unless the spring is hurting something else under load.
If you have a full mag with the slide down on an empty chamber (condition 3) I would avoid constantly inserting and removing the mag on a closed slide. Other than that it's pretty much gravy. Check your ammo on occasion and cycle it out with fresh stuff.
>>29859095
>Buffer tube is padded to an unknown diameter with foam there, and you know it.
Tiny pic, bad eyes.
This guy has the right idea, though: >>29859160
>>29858648
Given the insane amount of hoops I had to jump and the waiting suffered to get my Mauser, I feel that some more papers, fees and waiting is worth it if I can bring my rifle with me.

You basically keep your grip on the bolt and use your middle finger to operate the trigger, just go on youtube you'll see it

I have a PTR-91 with the rail. I love the rifle and it's time to put an optic on it. What should I be looking for as an optic to be used from 0-600 yards. I mostly shoot at paper, but I want to get into steel, and take it hunting. Durability is a high priority. I'm looking primarily at 6 power scopes, but I am open to suggestions as I'm not sure exactly what I want on it. If I can stay in the <$500 range that's preferable, otherwise I am liable to splurge and fork over the cash for an ACOG just due to aesthetics.
My experience with scopes is limited to a 10/22 I've qualified at several Appleseeds with. My centerfire rifles have always had irons, but that was a budget, and knowledge, constraint not a reasoned choice.
>>29852062
Can someone explain what the issue with ATF 41F is? It seems like a step in the right direction, seeing as you don't need CLEO sign off, but people are acting as if it's a closing of the registry.

What are some good 9mm 1911s? .45 is kind of expensive and I already have a USP.
>>29855231
That style of pistol grip might affect how fast you can work the bolt. We are talking tiny fractions of a second, mind you, but if you are using it competitively or tactically it could be a consideration. Otherwise, try it and see if you like it.
>>29859798
this shit is BANANAS, it looks like a legit procedure
Ok I know the Five Seven is a meme gun and the ammo is expensive as fuck. But I have the opportunity to purchase a lightly used Five Seven for about $1500 with 2 20 round mags, 1 30 rd mag, a holster, and 1000 rounds. Should I go for it? It seems the gun itself is pretty good. Just expensive and ammo is a pain in the ass to get. Help me with this decision /k/ I don't know what to do.
So I know that it's generally wrong to refer to magazines as "clips."
But is it ever wrong to refer to actual clips (stripper clips, en bloc clips, etc.) as "magazines"?
>>29861674
Worst case scenario, you sell it for even more than that, without the ammo.

Need some advice on putting together a bug-out bag/survival kit.
Most of the contents will have a finite life. That's unfortunate, but I accept that reality.
I've also been told that you should always test certain things first before relying on them. This seems like sound advice, because I've heard stories of people being put in compromising situations (death, lost/stranded, illness, etc.) because they didn't test their equipment/supplies first.
So what do you do? If you test something, you're technically using it, therefore reducing the longevity. If you use it once or twice for testing purposes, it may have a negligible effect on lifespan, but then again, you might not be entirely convinced that you can trust your life with it.
Where do you draw the line? How many tests is enough to convince you that something is good, and how many tests is overdoing it to the point of wearing it out?
>>29865148
Stop over-intellectualizing it. You really want to go the extra mile, drive out in the middle of nowhere and camp out over the weekend and subsist solely off what is in the fucking bag. You will find very very quickly where your priorities lie, and how useless all the fucking gadgets are, and how they were basically just placebos designed to make you feel safe.
You know what you'll need? Clean water, properly seasoned food (preferably hot, but even that is a luxury), and toilet paper. And a trowel for digging shitters. They always forget the TP for their bunghole.

I am too fucking high right now for your shit. I have been rereading your shit over and over to try and seperater the wheart from the chaff but you are allllllll chaaaaffffff.
A clip is a clip.
a magazine is a magazine.
Some magazines can be removed readily, some can't.
MAGAZINES ARE MAGAZINES
CLIPS ARE CLIPS
There is no cross over. Even that gimmick-built clipazine is really just a magazine that can can be loaded faster*
This isn't "every candy has sugar, but not all sugar goes into candy."
These are parts that have definite names and jobs. Clips are clips, and they are never anything else. Same for magazines.
Bt once you start going deep, you'll realize that the reloading system are alot like the early automobiles. There are many loading systems, and alot are really similar, but not interchangeable. Alot are similar and interchangeable. At the end it just words.
Remember that what was a hozieywhatsit on one gun could be called a dingbongler on another. Guns are not put together from prenamed parts. Often things that do similar jobs are not similarly named.
Just don't get hung up about it, and remember your terminology from gun to gun.

>What qualifies a bullet as "rifle caliber" or "pistol caliber?"'
It depends on whether or not an AR15 lower has been made to accommodate it.
>What's the hump thing on the Abram's main gun?
Fume extractor, it keeps the crew from being overheated from the gas created by the gun firing.
>Why is the Abram's main gun smoothbore?
Rifling gets dirty and affects accuracy. Smoothbore doesn't suffer from this problem.

>>29868071
>What qualifies a bullet as "rifle caliber" or "pistol caliber?"
Whether it was first developed for a rifle or pistol, or whether it's most commonly used in rifles or pistols.
Example:
9x19, or "9mm." Developed for pistols, and very commonly used in pistols today. There are some rifles that use it, but they are a small minority; people usually call these rifles "pistol carbines."

Not a cheapskate by any means, I can afford to buy new ammunition. The real problem is that it's hard to find where I live.

>>29871693
the way to go
>>29871701
Any kit reccomendations?
>>29871693
To clarify, the gas from the barrel drives a piston, which pushes the BCG, instead of the gas basically slamming into the face of the bolt like direct impingement.
>>29871747
I know how they work, I just don't know how well they work. I'm looking into getting one for a shtf fun.
>>29871759
More steps for no real benefit. DI/Stoner impingement is fine
>>29871693
A solution looking for a problem, just this side of a 7.62x39 AR in terms of snowflake for the sake of snowflake.
>>29871720
>>29871720
Honestly, I'd suggest buying a ready-made piston AR.
But if you already have a DI style AR, kits seem to be plentiful.
However, from the cursory Googling I just did on the subject, conversion kits seem to have abhorrent reviews.
I'd save up and buy an honest to god piston AR.
Or if you're having reliability problems, try a chromed BCG before you commit to a more expensive fix.
>>29871797
>all that work and money for something that is MORE unreliable than a DI AR15
Just get a gun that is build around a system instead of the other way around.
>>29852773
Alright well I guess it was my fault. Really don't understand but half the shells were hitting me in the face. So I asked the Ro to shoot it and they all went to the side for him. Then I shot it exactly as before and they all went to the side for me too. No change in ammo, grip, mag...
I've got literally 10's of thousands of rounds through over a dozen handguns that I've owned. No clue why I'm such a retard for this one. It must be "the one ".
So, sorry and stuff.
can you use an AA12 one handed efficiently?
>>29852062
Anyone know where I can get my hands on a CZ Rami BD (the one with the decocker)?
Its pretty much everything I want in a conceal carry gun; but the damned things seem to be unobtanium.
>>29852062
Hey /k/ Just became hasguns with a CZ-75 SP-01.
I have a 1913 Accessory rail on it, where is the best place to find a light/laser? Am I looking at spending $100+?
>>29873607
Its a 12 gauge and it weighs 16lbs with a full drum of ammo.
What do you think?
>>29873673
They have some good ones at sportsmans warehouse, academy, and Basspro. You'll find better prices online that better fit your budget
My Father swears up and down that Hillary wants to ban steel core 7.62x54r ammo because it's "Armor piercing".
Even lead nose 7.62x54r is going to go through every soft armor ever made, right?
>>29873840
Where are the best place(s) to look online?
So I've got a Yugo SKS, mismatching parts. Picked up a Tapco magazine to see how it would work.
Turns out I need to file out the magazine well on a wooden stock. Thing is, the magazine in it already is loose and wobbles around side to side.
Should I let it be and forget the 20 rounder, or is the mag that's in it already too shitty to keep around and I should go for it?
What's the go-to-gun for bolt action 22s? One that should be readily available at even a walmart or something.
>>29861517
"“Mad Minute” was a pre-World War I term used by British Army riflemen during training at the Hythe School of Musketry to describe scoring a minimum of 15 hits onto a 12″ round target at 300 yards within one minute using a bolt-action rifle (usually a Lee-Enfield or Lee-Metford rifle). It was not uncommon during the First World War for riflemen to greatly exceed this score. The record, set in 1914 by Sergeant Instructor Alfred Snoxall, was 38 hits."
soem nice vid at bulletin.accurateshooter.com/tag/mad-minute/
>>29875028
Have you tried modifying the mag first?
Also I'd function test without the stock to make sure it even works to begin with.
>>29875380
Function test is how I realized I'd have to make modifications. Empty, the new mag fits very tight and the follower/bolt hold open stick. Full, the rounds don't feed.
I haven't tried anything on the mag, but I'm not sure I want to file away material from a polymer magazine.
>>29875453
I'd buy a second stock and see which is more wobbly and just mod the looser one just in case the tapco ends up not working right or you want to go back to the original for whatever reason.
>>29875536
Do you think using shims on the original magazine would work as well (if not trying another original magazine)? Like I said, the one that's in it now is pretty damn loose already.
>>29875726
If it's a mixmaster there won't be any harm in trying. Does it look like it was modified by someone else?
>>29875783
Not as far as I can tell. Just seems to be a FrankenYugo. Part of why I'm even considering modifications in the first place, I wouldn't even dream of it if I had a matching Russian or something.
Question: on a gun with a telescoping stock, are SBR OAL requirements measured with it extended or collapsed?
>>29861517
it is a legit procedure
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DhjUrqH88s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF6EH3Srrwc
>>29875829
If you can't be arsed to dig up a stock, I'd just make sure all the stock cuts are flush for the 20 rounder and then just glue and sand to blend the woods shims if you get tired of the funny looking mag on your rife.
>>29852062
What are some places the take C&R FFLs?
Any distributors that will give me access to dealer prices on non-c&r guns or ammo/accessories?
Sexy M1 carbine for attention.
>>29875910
Every place should take your C&R, m8 though Southern Ohio gun and J&G Sales have special C&R holder pricing. Like most things you only get a portion of the discount if you're plan is to by only one.
Is there any point in manually pulling the hammer back on a semi auto weapon?
I see it in movies all the time
>Pull out the gun and point it at would-be victim
>Make threat
>Pull back the hammer
>Make threat again
>>29876205
On specific pistols with decocking capability, yes. Theyre generally carried in the holster with a round in chamber, decocking is a safety feature which will let you fire a heavy trigger pull first shot in double action or manually cock the hammer to go red direct again.
Anyone have any experience with the Sig 556xi? Is it worth buying over an AR15? This will be my first rifle purchase.
>>29876205
Depends on the gun.
On a single action only like a M1911 the hammer should already be back and they should be taking the safety off; but people who don't understand guns wouldn't know what's going on.
On a Double Action/Single Action pistol (like the Beretta 92 in your pic) pulling the hammer back gives you a lighter single action trigger pull in much the same way that it would on a double action revolver.
Mostly its a Hollywood meme that's leftover from the days of western films. Directors enjoyed being able to show a cowboy cocking the hammer on his single action revolver as a means of conveying that he means business, they expanded this to double action revolvers and then eventually to pistols.
A stupider Hollywood meme is actually the constant pumping of pump shotguns as a means of intimidation since in many cases the shooter would just be ejecting a live round for no reason.
>>29876229
decocking is a mechanism on Double action/ Single action pistols which allows you to safely lower the hammer with a live round in the chamber (thus returning the gun to double action).
I'm not sure if you understood this or not, I couldn't fully decipher your meaning.
What's the best after market trigger for remington 700?
ive got an idea. its a fully automatic revolver. yes. a fully, automatic, revolver. as in, you hold the trigger, and it fires round after round, until it stops or runs out. itll likely have a slow rate of fire, to be useful, but in theory, not a whole lot stops it from being super high cept for the capacity of human bones not to break
just before i seriously dick around with the concept and make it work, has anyone else done this, and what mechanic ism was used?
im also considering this design for judges, or similar style revolver shotguns. i think this could make an amazing last ditch back up gun. imagine your main jams, and you gotta shoot faster then any man has ever shot before. why not make it 5 rounds automatic .410 buck?
>>29877355
Webley–Fosbery made auto revolvers, they were semi auto. The had a habit of beating themselves to death.
>>29877403
i know theres a few semi auto`s, im talking completely, full auto. pull trigger once, 6 rounds are fired
>>29877473
also, on top of it, it would be a double action revolver with the trigger pull of a revolver with the hammer already cocked, if you would rather use it as a semi auto.
>>29860933
I have a Vortex Viper PST on my HK91. It's tough as hell, and the glass is nice. If you wanna go with bang for the buck, it's hard to beat. I'm still getting an ACOG for my 416 though.

>>29865148
Basically what he said. Work on improving your knowledge more than anything. Get your basics squared away:
>A means to make fire
A bic lighter is fine. Ferro rods are a decent backup in case your shit is soaked, but chances are you're not starting a fire with all your shit soaked anyway.
>Enough water to get where you're going
Either carry the water, or have a means of purifying water along your way. Balance out expedience with weight. Boiling water is pretty easy, but fires attract attention.
>Food
Bring enough food to get to your location. Estimate around 2,300-2,500 a day. Beware of "rabbit starvation". Be aware that peanut butter is pound-for-pound one of the most calorie dense foods available.
>Shelter stuff
This is gonna vary depending on you and how many people you're bugging out with, and how far your bug out location is. For one guy? Get a camouflageable bivvy.
Beyond that, it's hard to give really solid advice without knowing how far you're bugging out or how well you can make caches along the path. Honestly, go on a three or four day hiking trip, and you'll learn a lot about what you need. And don't even tell me you don't have a bug-out location, or else you're approaching this all wrong and need a thread of your own. Also, babby wipes > TP.
>>29868141
Because it's boring.
>>29870855
If it's in your price range and you like the features? Go for it. Skip on the PTAC stuff.
>>29871498
>We specialize in BoB's at the store I work at
I would say you should be ashamed, but fuck it. Fools and their money.
>and every base-unit we sell has at least some toilet paper in it.
Considering the kind of fuckwit that would buy a bug out bag instead of making their own, I hope you also include diapers for when they shit themselves.

>>29877530

>>29871720
Get an "anti-tilt" buffer tube. Cleaning is going to be easier with a piston than a DI. Also, one of the often unspoken reasons to get a piston AR is for ease of using a suppressor.
>>29873964
For the most part, yes. Silver tipped 54r is really only at risk if some fuckwit manages to make a pistol that can fire it and brags about it enough to make the ATF sigh and do something. Note that we still have green tips, but 7n6 is gone.
>>29852062
Nogunz here, get ready to laugh at my stupidity.
What the fuck am I expected to do whenever someone hands me a rifle to show off their gun? I have had my friend's relatives do this, as well as acquaintances on a few occasions.
Beyond knowing gun safety rules and somewhat being able to shoot I know pretty much fuck all about guns. Whenever I'm put in this situation where someone hands me a rifle to look at all I know to do is look through the sights like a dumbass to see how it feels, which I usually get an odd look for doing, though I know it's an unloaded weapon and still keep good trigger discipline regardless, and I'm fairly certain as a man I have nothing like a girl lean.
I've got no idea what the etiquette is on this, or what the expectations are. Not really a situation I'm in very often, but enough to ask.
Why hasn't the federal government auctioned off Oswald's rifle and bought 90% of a new F-35?
Would someone kindly list me the 'assault rifles' that have burst fire with fire rates higher than automatic variants?
For example the AN-94 shoots 1500+ RPM with its two round burst vs 600 RPM in full auto,
And in Killing Floor 2 the AK-12 has a burst fire that's got a higher RPM than full auto [Which I haven't researched if that's true for the actual rifle, but it's an example of what i'm looking for]
>>29852062
Cheap repro from early 20th century.
Sorry anon. It is garbage.
>>29877084
timney
>>29877907
Just keep trigger discipline, and ask normal questions: Make? How old? Like it? How's it shoot? That sort of thing.
Does anyone know how to get the rear sight back onto a Mosin Nagant? My autism compelled me to remove it for cleaning years ago, and I never managed to get it back on. I had a brass stacker scope mount that I took off and would like to go back to the iron sights. I'm guessing I could remove it, put it in a vice and press the leaf spring down, but is there any trick to it without doing that?
Noguns here, I have some question before buying my first rifle
I live on a pretty rural place and the only gun range is a public (free) gun range
>pic related
Now I have never been into a gun range before, but how am I supposed to put my paper target on the range where there are lots of people shooting down the range? What are the etiquette of placing my shooting target when the gun range is busy, should I call out to them to stop firing or what?
again I'm noguns so please help me
>>29878229

What parts reduce perceived recoil?
Say I had a Glock 17 and I wanted to have quicker follow up shots, what parts should I purchase to reduce recoil?
Hey /k/ why does this look so bad? Is it just carbon buildup?
>>29881299
Barbell and weights and some protein powder
>>29881299
A compensator and/or porting the barrel.
You could add a stronger recoil spring, but this would compromise the reliability.
>>29856690
It's far more likely that FN and the other big companies would sub-contract parts production at least partially to said smaller companies.
>>29852526
Stop asking dumb questions like these. Value has so many factors when it comes to US Milsurp that it's pretty much impossible to even estimate without breaking it down completely and producing a data sheet. For example, A late was correct and original Springfield M1 Garand runs about $1200-$1500 on the market. A correct and original Winchester Garand goes for $3500-$4500. An authentic Winchester stock with a crisp cartouche might run you $1000 alone. The same applies to carbines, there are so many subcontractors and sub-subcontractors that made parts for the big companies that made the receivers that it is virtually impossible to identify a carbine as "correct" unless you break down every last piece.
>>29877355
you are so fucking stupid
>>29881898
I guess I shoudn't say "dumb" but at least maybe look into it a little and give a breakdown of your parts for review. Get a copy of the book series "Warbaby". it will help you locate the identification marks on your parts and help you with figuring out what is correct and what isn't. I've just seen so many guys at shows say "This is the rifle my Grandpappy carried on Guadalcanal. 100% numbers matching. as issued" and shows me a Harrington and Richardson Garand with a Boyd's stock on it.
How do you guys deal with a stuck front sight? I'm trying to adjust my PPS for windage and the thing won't budge at all. I'm starting to get pretty pissed, but I don't know any tricks to loosen it up. Anyone else ever have this issue?
What does 'match' mean in reference to firearms?
>>29882958
It's 'match' in the competition sense. "Match-grade" when describing a used gun means it's in really good condition, and therefore is still accurate enough for competitive use.
I know I'm probably gonna get shit on for asking, but I don't know much about optics. What kind of optic is this supposed to be? I'd love something similar on a carry handle mount on an AR.
>>29883177
Thank you, anon.

Why are "Clinger" holsters so cheap?
I'm broke as fuck and looking for a good IWB for my new 1911. I wanted a kydex IWB, preferably with an offset polymer clip.
Then I see pic related
>Clinger Atom holster
>kydex
>offset clip
>tuckable
>adjustable retention
>...$20
I am immediately suspicious as everything else like this is $50+. What's the deal here? Are they total piles of shit? If not how are they managing to undercut everyone else so much?
Also anyone know any other good kydex IWB holsters under $50ish?
>>29887135
It probably isn't hand-made or isn't American made.
Here is a pic of my IWB from squaredaway customs, it's their "alpha" holster.
>>29887135
also it is important to note that I had to wait 9-10 weeks to get this holster.
if you find a small shop making good stuff, chances are they're swamped as fuck and your shit will take months to get.
what's the wait-time on that holster?
This isn't a question, but I just wanted to say I fucking love my CZ-83.

Thanks man. Generally I'll hold it and say it feels nice and that's about it. They've always told me the make when they handed it to me and about as long as they've had it. Always just assume it shoots fine and they're happy with it since they're proud enough to show it off.
>>29885666
Already covered on that, but thanks all the same.
Been thinking about getting a flipscope for my AR
Do they at all work well or are they just cawadooty trash
What is this? /diy/ is having a fit as to what this is, it does seem to be about the same as a 20mm projectile but the wall thickness and the groved ring looks like it has a lip on it that would make it bounce in the barrel IMO.
so what do you guys think, i have no idea.
>>29888800
inside view no bottom view though
>>29888806
>>29888800
Clearly a round, likely a 20mm from an Oerlikon cannon or copy. The grove is prescored rifling used to lock into a better spin with a barrel, and the round is flat walled to give it more contact with the barrel.
Best guess is that it was an incidiary or tracer based on the nose shape and the cavity in back. On phone at work, so research is not thorough right now. I'd start by looking up indiary for Oerlikon or maybe Bofors.
>>29852062
Help me identify this ammunition and weapon /k/
>>29887168
It's US made. I'm sure it isn't hand made though. Honestly what's the difference? Big companies like Comp-Tac don't hand-make their stuff either. I'm just worried this thing is going to have poor fit or AlienGear-level QC.
>>29887174
They say 4-6 weeks.
>>29888806
>>29888800
Most of /diy/ is currently filled with idiots.
It's a subcaliber training round for the LAW.
They had a rifled barrel that would go in the tube and then this thing would be fired out the barrel.
>>29889834
That doesn't look anything like a subcaliber LAW round.
>>29889890
There were multiple sub caliber rounds for the law. You posted the 35mm rocket. There were also 21 mm rockets, 20mm cartridge and even a 9mm cartridge.
