questions that don't deserve their own thread thread
I like to shoot at spent shotgun shells at about 25 yd. At what distance is this equivalent to a man sized target?
Computer says 'shooting at spent shotgun shells at approximately 25 yards is equivalent to shooting at a man-sized target from a distance of about 666.67 yards.'
based question answerers
It really depends on how close you think a shotshell matches a human target. I'm going by the following logic:
A fired 12ga hull should be roughly 3" long. Figure a man is 5 feet high, or 60 inches. So you're off by a factor of 20, the 12ga hull at 25 yards is about the same as a human at 500.
It really depends on what you consider effective on a human though, if you use a typical head-and-torso target for the comparison instead of a standing man that's only about 30" high, or 10x the amount, so 25 yards with a shotshell approximates 250 yards. That's probably the more realistic approximation.
Is this better than the aero ultralight mount?
Yes. Its rings are top mounted and Aero has a hinge system that I've heard can break at the worst time.
I'm now in Italy and I'd like to know how to get laid. I really don't mind if the woman's a local or a fellow tourist, I just don't like being alone in my hotel room and nearly all the women here are really sexy.
Been an expat for almost 4 years now and when I get home I'm trying to figure out which carry pistol I'm getting. I'm honestly not terribly interested in a glock, sorry. I'm considering a CZ 75 Compact. Any good?
Personally I prefer the Jericho when it comes to CZs, they make compact versions too. Also make them both steel frame and polymer, slide or frame mounted safety. I prefer steel always, but it seems like the more compact ones are polymer.
A lot of that's just my autism for the octagonal rifling though, barrel doesn't wear out as much and doesn't get dirtied as badly as long as you're using FMJ.
Other CZ-derivative I have experience with is the Star Model 30M, probably closer to the CZ 75 than the Jericho. It's not too bad to shoot, but all the weight is in the grip so it sags uncomfortably in the holster. I found the Jericho is a very well-balanced gun weightwise, it's never uncomfortable to carry.
That's just all I have personal experience with, so take this as you will. Most of the bad stuff I've heard about the CZ 75 is just from soijak shitters who only own a Glock and an AR-15, and nothing else. The kinda guys who only see guns as political tools rather than anything else (not that they aren't, but there's more to it than that baseline npc take, guns are many more things than just that and ought to be cherished).
Pros: accurate, reliable, sexy
Cons: heavy, manual dewiener
That being said its my favorite carry piece if you dont mind the extra weight of it being all steel and are a DA/SA enjoyer
I love my P01 and Rami but I've had enough small parts breakages on both to sour me on CZ going forward
The fact that you need CZ custom or CGW components to make them reliable is unacceptable
Don't overlook the weight, go for a polymer of some sort if you plan to cc daily

More like stupid question thread cuz I have one; getting a pistol is a pain in the ass in my cucked state and I'm considering getting a PWS Mk109 upper 300 BLK. Due to the aforementioned PITA process with pistols I'm pondering if it would be worth it to swap barrel for 16 inch with appropriate gas tube and hopefully block. Would there be any issues with this idea?
Alternatively, maybe pick up a MK116 PRO 16 inch upper and swap the barrel to 300 blackout?
Dont get PWS if you want to do barrel swaps, unless you have multiple PWS uppers or if youre going for PWS's DI guns. They have proprietary barrels.
Frick. I'm always glad I ask my stupid questions. Thank you.
Already have a rifle lower but I'm struggling to figure out a good upper. I would like a piston upper to change things up ultimately. I was also looking at a completed upper from LWRCI but it looks like they have a proprietary system which wouldn't allow you to say throw on a Geisle handguard.
Was also thinking about going with a BCM upper and piecing everything else together. But then that means no piston system? I'm still learning about that. Asked in the previous thread and got some great advice from an anon as well but still trying to figure shit out.
you can build your own piston upper, just do your research beforehand to save time on returns and rebuys
If youre looking for a piston upper you can look for an hk416 derivative, because parts will closely match.
Just go with DI, piston is overrated tbh
Yeah, I'm already piecing together DI. I wanted something different but I don't see any good way to get it done. Although the new issue I'm running into is realizing how few options there are for builds in general.
>Ordered DD barrel and shopping around for stripped upper
>Too many stripped uppers have some proprietary feature
Just gonna go BCM upper and then figure out a handguard
Just build a stripped lower and buy the upper you want
Have you made a machine gun if you use the reciprocating charging handle or slide of one gun to pull the trigger of another one?
Like a gast gun? Basically anything that "automatically" keeps shooting would count.
The FCS has only ever supported unguided, inertial, and GPS guided rockets. That said it's pretty modular so while inertial guided rockets wouldn't be great against ships it would be easy to and there's existing proposals for shooting active radar anti ship missiles from HIMARS. Same would apply for an anti air missile but you'd probably have to modify the FCS a fair bit with a data link to another radar for it to point the missile in the right direction. It's probably cheaper to just stick to specialized systems since anti ship missiles are more limited by bulk than needing some expensive FCS and anti air missiles would be too much to modify.
Good eyepro options that don't slip off, don't ever fog, and don't make you look like a tool?
>don't make you look like a tool
there are no options
I'm ok with looking like a dweeb if there's some science lab shit that works, or a pervert if there's good options of the old school yellow glass lenses. Just not a tool with oakleys.
I've just worn my glasses. Probably not super safe, but better than nothing.
All of them fog. I like cheap safety glasses from work. If you spend more than 2 bucks you're doing it wrong.
Look man, I hate the PC Principal look as much as anyone, but m frames are relatively cheap, impact rated, and offer complete coverage with high fog resistance. Just bite the bullet and get those.
Is there such a thing as safety aviators?
I find aviators like to slip, need to constantly push them back into position
Yeah, you can get prescription safety glasses in Aviator style and similar styles. I'd assume that means that plain ones (no prescription) must exist too. If nothing else you could buy the prescription ones with no change in the lens.

>MFW I hate the ATF but think that a braced pistol is an SBR no matter how you spin it
>MFW I hate the NFA but whilst the statute exists the ATF in this instance are "technically" just following the law
Is this double think? I feel like an absolute commie for thinking like this, I don't think the NFA has any right to exist, I think it's unconstitutional, but braces have been adopted as stocks for nearly 10 years and it bothers me that people pretend otherwise.
I recognize this post. You have asked this question before and recieved answers
I know, it's me again, I just wanted to ask again as I've seen a lot of videos around since the Mock v Garland injunction pop up doing the song and dance of:
>Listen the ATF have zero grounds for this
>Don't you know this was made for disabled veterans?
>We never used them as stocks *wink wink nudge nudge*
And it just makes me feel autistic as frick as the ATF themselves in the final rule pointed out creators from GarandThumb to Hoplopfheil doing exactly that, multiple times and explicitly mentioning that they basically are stocks, it's been the worst kept secret for the past decade and only strengthened their argument to intervene, even for as politically motivated as it was.
I've always been an NFA avoidant schizo I'll never submit my finger prints and $200 to a national database for a suppressor when some Brit or other Euro can get theirs over the counter. It's just I don't know to express whether I'm being an autistic view of legalism or I'm being a bootlicker for understanding
>There will come a day where they will say these are stocks
Whilst also thinking
>The NFA is an abomination to the constitution and should not exist, nor should the ATF.
I think it just means you're a little bit of an aspie. You're right, it's bullshit, but that fact isn't lost on anyone. Everyone knows what braces are used for, the disingenuous word games are a necessary evil wielded against the government and pointing them out doesn't make you any different from everyone else, just oblivious of the subtext attached to it
It's weirder still that I legitimately understand why people are dying (rightfully) on this hill, my fear is that if it weren't for the ATF infringing now you would have a continuation of the previous status quo with the quasi-legality of pistol braces forever looming over your head like the sword of Damocles.
I can imagine some boomer buying a AR "Pistol" switching out the brace for a stock and getting a 10-15 year felony for switching it out with a proper stock. It's happened a few times with a Florida case dealing with a CZ scorpion owner doing that who was unfamiliar with the NFA.
It's bad law and now that the ATF has (imo rightfully) declared them as SBRs now hopefully under Bruen SBRs in general and not just the executive mechanism they used to do the rule change can both be challenged and in the best case scenario knock short barreled weapon laws off the NFA. Allowing the floodgates for Machine gun challenges, FFL to your door services, so on and so forth.
As you said it probably is major law autism, it just feels very cart before the horse saying the position out loud.
>I can imagine some boomer buying a AR "Pistol" switching out the brace for a stock and getting a 10-15 year felony for switching it out with a proper stock.
When was the last time the ATF prosecuted a private citizen solely for an NFA violation? Certainly not since bruen. And you're definitely not getting 10 years over an NFA violation. Basically what's happening is we're playing chicken with them. We WANT some unlucky winner to be prosecuted so that the GOA/FPC/whomever has standing to challenge whatever regulation on constitutional grounds, a challenge they WILL win given the current state of the law post bruen.
Meanwhile, the brace concept is responsible for keeping short rifles in common use, which has the dual benefit of being a useful argument in court as well as increasing the amount of people with skin in the game.
You have autism. That's just how it is. But, rest assured, we will shelve the brace once we've beasted on the NFA
>NFA violation

But as you said we are in a post-Bruen world and I've not seen any so far but I've not kept my eyes outside of the 6th circuit "crime" wise. But the cases on 18 year olds getting their handgun rights back, non-violent felons potentially getting their gun rights back and marijuana users getting their gun rights back it is super exciting to finally see the 2nd being taken seriously by circuit courts (excluding the 9th and 2nd).
As you said I want to keep an eye on things and hopefully braces are irrelevant in 3-4 years or so. Honestly, I'm not sure if I'm overdosing on hopium but I think large portions of the NFA are going to be gutted in the next decade or so.
>think that a braced pistol is an SBR no matter how you spin it
A pistol with a STOCK that you put on it exclusively to look cool without planning to shoot it that way, even if you change your plans later, isn't an SBR by their definition. "Designed to be" is horrible wording that makes it so anything you piece together yourself is classified not by what it is, but what was going through your head hen you thought of how it was going to go together.
The NFA in general is poorly written, to be honest coming to the conclusion that only the lower was the controlled part of the firearm has been a massive boon for us in 3D2A and other places, can't imagine what it'd be like with a Euro definition i.e. Bolt, Upper, anything that bears pressure when the firearm is shot.
Which would basically leave things like triggers, mags stocks and a few other things to be shipped to our homes.
It is terribly written, and a lot of it is the result of last-minute changes. Originally it was going to restrict handguns the same way that it restricts suppressors, MGs, SBRs, and so on today. That's the reason why the SBR and SBS categories are a thing: they were intended to block a loophole for people making "handguns" by cutting down long guns. But at the last minute before being passed handguns were removed from the act. However, they didn't rewrite the bits about SBRs and SBSes so now it's a real clusterfrick.
Originally, it was intended that a "smoothbore pistol" AOW was meant to be easier to get than a regular pistol--the AOW transfer tax is only $5 whereas pistols would have been the full on $200 like an SBR. Now, it's the opposite: no NFA paperwork required at all for a normal handgun, but you want a smoothbore? Time for photos, fingerprints, and a year-long wait.
Yeah I remember watching T.Rex arms' video on the NFA giving a similar overview, which, honestly should be mandatory watching for every single congress member at the State and Federal level.
For me again the biggest singular issue I have surrounding is, quite frankly, it's entire history since enactment. From US v Miller to Ruby Ridge to WACO to the current day with the Brace Amnesty, the levels in which the feds wish to enforce such a tyrannical act with even more tyrannical force, shocks me when the NFA was drafted nearly everything about the law was done in a haze of with backroom deals and negoations, the amendments in the GCA of the 18" barrel requirements going to 16" .22lr then to 16" Barrels for all rifles but not shotguns and yet it's never been taken up by the courts since Miller, it's never been looked into again properly despite it being one of the largest black marks against the constitution currently in force.
I hope Bruen changes that. Unjust and Unconstitutional law should not be enforced at all. Let alone when they go out of their way to terrorize you or god forbid turn you into a scapegoat and butcher you, your friends and families. I hope I see the NFA abolished before my mortal coil pops.

I honestly feel the same. Pistol AR fanatics are the absolute worst people in the gun community.

I get shorty rifles are cool and fun, but using exploits and loopholes that will just reinforce negative public opinion of gun users isn’t helpful.
I know very little about guns, and I want to do some research for a game project idea I have about, essentially, floating fortresses. And if it doesn't pan out I wanna read about it anyway.
The closest analogy is probably naval combat, so can anyone point me to some material about the overall development of cannons/artillery and naval combat from about, say, 1800 until now? I'm looking for broad overviews, strategic and tactical considerations, technological developments, everything. Preferably books but I'll take websites as well.
I realize you didn't ask for this, but it's more useful than you realize. Look up Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, specifically his approach to fort design, aka "star forts". His works and others you will find reading about the subject cover fortress design, cannons/artillery, etc.
> naval tactics 1800 until now?
I suspect most of what you're interested in will be from "the age of sail", i.e.:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naval_artillery_in_the_Age_of_Sail
There were huge changes in naval tactics in the period you asked about. First you had the invention of steamships. Then you had ironclads and the Whitehead torpedo in the later half of the 1800's. The Dreadnought battleship in the early 1900s, then came aircraft carriers and radar. Not to mention submarines. Between 1800 and today has been a hugely complex ever-changing situation for naval combat strategy.
>development of cannons/artillery and naval combat from about, say, 1800
Naval cannoneering goes back quite a bit further than that, it was first succesfully used by the Turks, who also brought firearms generally to Europe
here's a brief survery https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading-room/title-list-alphabetically/e/evolution-of-naval-weapons.html
as for "floating fortresses", read up on the last of the great battleships like the Iowa and Yamato class, and then modern nuclear aircraft carriers, these are all quite literally floating fortresses with thousands of crew and all kinds of weapons and equipment. Battleships died out because of aircraft but even then when you look at what it took to sink the Yamato and what it would take to sink the USS Ford today its kind of insane
Can anyone recommend a good punch set for gunsmithing?
The Tekton gunsmith bunch set is great. Has a wooden base stand for your workbench, 18pc, including both standard flat punches and roll pin punches. The steel is good quality and they're not crazy expensive. To go with that get a set of brass punches. A cheapo amazon brand is fine for those, they're supposed to be soft anyway. There's a bunch of options on Amazon for like $15-20 for an 8-pc set if you search for "brass punch set".
I don't advise cheapo steel punches, they are more frustration than they are worth.

How much force would it take on a polymer handgun (G17 as an example) to rip the slide off/out of the rails, holding from the locked back slide and pulling upwards? Is it feasible for a grown man to do?
Impossible for a human to apply enough force to do that. Maybe if you fixed it in a machine it could tear the rear pin and slip the fire control housing out of the frame but before it got very far it would have to break or dislocate the locking block in front too. The gun would have to be mangled for that to happen

Nogunz board tourist here. Is the ammo crisis the result of controlled supply by ammo manufacturers, like the diamond industry, or is it a more-or-less "organic" shortage?
Not really a crisis anymore, and it was pretty much the natural fallout of everyone getting guns during the coof panic. Most common ammo is back on the shelves and most reloading components have come back besides perhaps large rifle primers but that might be a local thing for me
Naruhodo, thanks guys
Still, with how ammo that isn't .22 LR is priced, practicing now costs as much as alcoholism and a nicotine addiction
Np, a very fine Naruto to you as well
Not an expert, but my opinion is that it's a combination of the large increase of gun owners since 2020, the government fricking around with imports (no more Russian ammo for example), and the government filling their ammo stockpiles for the IRS and other armed agencies.

I wanna buy a 308 bolt action soon for hunting and to learn how to shoot out at longer distances. I live in a state where it would be feasible to practice shooting at 200-400 yards. I'm going to invest in a proper scope and bipod.
Question: what are some cool 308s? I know you can get decent 308 bolt actions for very cheap these days (Ruger American, Remy 700, etc), but idk, it just feels like I could do better and I have about a $2k budget for the rifle.
What would you buy /k/?
M40
If I had 8 months and $6k to spare, I would absolutely buy an M40A5 from GA Precision
I feel like I could just built it out myself for a fraction of the price though. Start with the Remington 700 short action and take it from there

Sorry for the wall of text, TL;DR is at the bottom
Just to put out the reason for my questions first: i was in the orca thread and ofc somebody referenced the orca fighter from the Command and Conquer games, this made me go into the C&C wiki to look through the other cool stuff they had in those games, for nostalgias sake.
One of those things was the M270, but while our real life M270 is ground to ground rocket artillery only, the one in the game for some reason is both Ground to Ground and AA capable.
So my question is: if it ever was considered to make an AA module that could be put in the M270 launcher, which then operated with a radar system that was installed on the same type of chassis as the M270 (the M987).
I was also in the thread about Taiwanese military procurement, there it was informed that Taiwan is buying 11 more M142 HIMARS.
These will probably just be used as normal rocket artillery as well, but since Taiwan is an island and thus it's first line of defence must be at sea (and air ofc), is it an option for modules with Anti-Ship missiles? i know that the M48 and M57 versions of ATACMS use old Harpoon warheads, but the missile itself is still only for ground targets, right?
>TL;DR
are there AA and AShM modules for the M270 and the M142?
>If no
Would it take much effort to develop them (and the necessary support systems)?

5.56 ballistics knowers report in

5.56 diminishing returns past 24"
modify the load and beef the chamber, more powder
So a whole new caliber, I wonder why humanity hasn't thought of that?
well technically it's the same caliber, same cartridge even, just with more propellant. or the same amount of propellant more optimized for longer barrels, like a slower powder or something
lol no
>lol no
elaborate or this will be interpreted as a concession
Proof loading a round to get results is exponentially more detrimental than designing a new round.
tell that to SIG and their rifle/cartridge that just got adopted
also lowering the speed of the propellant to take advantage of an increased barrel length doesn't necessarily mean increasing the pressure to the point it could be considered a proof load
Yes and it's designed around it

It'd be easier to use whatever powder you have on hand than trying to make a new powder because you're always going to have teething issues a la M16.

Yeah just run it through the DOD I'm sure it'll get adopted en masse in no time.
>DOD
we don't care about the DoD here son this is the MOBILE INFANTRY
According to my Lyman hand loading manual, the slower burning powders like 4064 are already compressed charges, so while
is technically correct that 24 inches is longest you get any benefit from, his reasoning is flawed, it's a simple matter of the cartridge case not havong enough volume to hold power and the correlated combustion gases that can expand faster than the volume created by the bore. Going to an 80 ksi chamber pressure doesn't really fix this, because the gas volume is the same, it's just applied more quickly, and by the time it reaches the max volume expansion of a 24" barrel, the resistance of the rifling will also slow the projectile down again as it can't sustain the pressure.
what if it's only rifled to 24" and then transitions to a tight smoothbore where even the reduced pressure increases velocity
Not aware of any tests that would indicate if that would or work or not, but it seems harder to manufacture a transition like that than just using a bigger cartridge and cutting a bigger chamber, like for the 224 Valkyrie to begin with.
Do all LMT uppers require a proprietary barrel?
Can anyone tell me the specific name of this ROC army webbing? I've searched everywhere and can't find it. I need it for my autism collection.
Apparently it's a combination of aftermarket pouches with some ROC army surplus.

Bless you anon.
Are 1911s compatible across manufacturers? Assuming same caliber, slide size and frame size on both, could one swap the slides and frames?
With some work possibly. That said there are certain combos that just wont work. Or will need gunsmith attention to be more than barely functional.
Drop in is not a thing.
If you could only attach one of the following things to your rifle, what would you choose?

Bought an s10 recently (pic related) and the filter came with it but it's vac-packed and I don't know if I should take it out or not. Should I just keep that one packed and buy a training one? I'm planning on using it for like s.t.a.l.k.e.r outings but idk
keep the packed one packed for emergencies, for larping buy some msa riot filters or training filters and also buy more filters in general. i like the msa riots
that's what I was thinking, I've got a couple of training ones on the way tho. Thanks anon 🙂

What's the effectiveness of leveling skyscrapers in places like New York or Hong Kong/Shanghai?
Would it be a good idea, or would it frick?
Mess top to bottom if you plan on moving through the city. Humanitarian issues notwithstanding.
yea or nay? (the crack in the case)
Nay, a single round isn't worth potentially a new gun or set of eyes.
Not American, but I do not understand the obsession with SBRs /AR "Pistols" (you guys know what the R in AR stands for right?). I often see builds with 10" barrels, shitty stocks, which would barely scrape 2500fps in MV, be difficult and awkward to shoulder, and would breathe fire for a muzzle flash.
They look kinda fun for plinking, but I don't see them as a viable weapon considering in any real conflict you've seriously hindered any useful ability to engage at range.
For a nation so infatuated with guns, you have the most confusing legislation; but why die in the SBR/rifle pistol hill? Take the long barrel pill and dust a b***h with a complete dwell time.
The R in AR is just the r in Armalite.
[A]rmalite [R]ifle 15, but ok
It's does not stand for rifle because they made shotguns with the same AR prefix, like the one I posted, the AR17.
You're both fricking tards. AR obviously means Assault Rifle.
10" 5.56 guns with 77gr ammunition are the ultimate CQB weapon
you know you don't clean them as often as you should, idles hands are the devils workshop
I cleaned my chamber today with a toothbrush, frick you
Pick either option, 8" barrel shooting subsonics in either
a) 350 gr 8.6 BLK, 1:3 twist
b) 400 gr 375 Raptor, 1:8 twist
Also, would the 375 Raptor in this configuration even stabilize?
what is this?
It's a cannon.

Want to get a 12 gauge for trap shooting with my dad. Used my uncle's and was doing quite well by the time I was through the stage last time. It would also secondarily fill a home defense role but this would not be a necessary focus.
Am I a moron for wanting a Remington 870 because it's super common and ubiquitous?
Is a longer or shorter barrel preferable for trap shooting?
What should I pay for a solid wood stock example, new or used?
Are there any common problems I need to keep a special eye out for that are going to be a show stopper?
If you can answer the above, is there any other 12 gauge I should put on my short list?
thanks /k/
mossberg 590 > remington 870
Nothing wrong with 870s. You'll want a longer barrel for trap shooting. In fact there are special Trap models. The older ones will be much smoother and have nicer fit and finish compared to new. You should be able to find a really nice one for $600-800 depending on condition, maybe a little more if it's a super nice Winmaster TB but should still be under $1k.
It's also worth looking at Mossberg and the Ithaca model 37.
The 590 is a combat shotgun. Anon wants a gun for trap. An 870 or a Mossberg 500 is preferable for that.
590 is just the 500 but betterer
>500 for Alien larp
>590 for real life
Basically my buddy and I. He has the 500 and I have the 590.
>>500 for Alien larp
Hicks carried an Ithaca 37.
Nerd. But yeah whatever it’s used in every other action movie so meh
Not really. Most 590's you'd find in a gun store have the same trigger assembly as a 500. The 590 has only one barrel option and while its extra thickness is great for combat it has worse balance for shooting clays, meanwhile you can get all sorts of different barrels for a 500 with various lengths, choke configs, even rifled barrels for slugs.
Thanks. I don't need anything super special as I don't plan to do anything pro/too serious. just fragging some clays. great fun.
So for the 870, older is better in this case really?
Is there a certain year when "everything went to shit" (buyout, factory shutdown/change etc) and year I should avoid buying after if possible or is it just a general trend toward cheapening?
There's a gun and knife show every weekend around here. Not quite ready to buy yet but I might start putting the feelers out.
If you had to pick one of the 3 being discussed which would you go for?
What makes it better in your opinion?
>Thanks. I don't need anything super special
870 or whatever other pump gun is perfect for that. If you said you were serious about trap I'd be pointing you to a break-action gun that would be much more expensive.
>Is there a certain year when "everything went to shit"
The big hit was in 2007, when Remington went bankrupt and was bought out by Cerebus capital. But there has been a general trend of slacking off on fit-and-finish long before then. Earlier guns will still be nicer, assuming the gun was well taken care of. Guns like that aren't hard to find though they were made by the millions and are in boomer closets everywhere.
Are the Mossberg and Ithaca preferable/acceptable to buy new or have they also had a decline like Remington? Not sure if I'll do one or the other just nice to know if/when a deal comes up.
So if I find some boomer at a gun show with a mid 90s 870, maybe give that one more consideration than, say, buying one new from basspro or some shit. I'd like to find a solid wood stock, something about solid wood just feels good in the hand and I'd like to pass it down to any family I might end up with when I'm older.
>Are the Mossberg and Ithaca preferable/acceptable to buy new
They're fine to buy new, they didn't get bought out by Cerebus like Remington did. There was one change made to the Ithaca 37's though: the older ones, 1970's and before, will slamfire. The later ones won't. I mention this mainly for academic purposes as slamfiring is kinda useless, especially for shooting trap, but it's a thing.
Finding old Remingtons isn't hard though, there's probably a couple hundred on Gunbroker right now. I'd say if you get a chance to hit a gun show try and fingerfrick a few different ones to see what you prefer, then you can always search online to see if the gun show prices are any good.
>What makes it better in your opinion?
590>500 it's simple math
870>590>500>88
It's over mossybros
Anyone here got experience with building your own guns? Specifically asking about what 3D printer you would recommend and if there are any cheaper ways than buying the Ghost Gunner for the metal parts?
>fed boy
It's legal to make your own guns in the US you stupid israelite
Are Liberty Safes any good? I need more storage for my guns and I can't do a dedicated room for it. I only ask about this particular brand because it's at Tractor Supply and I'd prefer to buy something made in the USA.
I'm in the market for a single shot break action shotgun (preferably in 12 gauge), anything in particular I should look for? Or more importantly, anything I should avoid?
It's hard to give advice on single shots without knowing what your motivation for buying one is. You've basically got 3 options:
You've got older cheapo guns, these make sense if you are on a super tight budget or you just want a cheap plinker. Be careful to check the chamber length as some will be for obsolete 2.5" shells. Also note that many will not be safe for steel shot, which may or may not matter to you. Some of these are very good value for money, others are your grandpa's shotgun equivalent of a hi-point.
Then you've got well made modern examples like NEF and H&R. These are good guns but they cost as much or more than a good pump gun making their purchase hard to justify, but if you want to play around with meme rounds this is probably your best choice.
And finally you've got specialty models for Singles Trap. The lower end ones tend to be turkshit, the more expensive ones are super nice, same as high-end double guns. And as with them the sky is the limit when it comes to price.
What does:
>boomers hate it because of the assault weapons ban
mean?
I'm just guessing but during the '94 AWB Ruger cucked out hard and made a big deal of supporting the ban and making compliant guns. Bill Ruger wrote a letter to congress saying that you don't need more than 10 shots.
>Bill Ruger wrote a letter to congress saying that you don't need more than 10 shots.
Ah yes, I think I do remember that.
lol I still have my P94 with two 10-round mags. I can't be bothered to buy a 15 round mag for what is now entirely a range toy.
I ran around 150 rounds through my new 10/22 last time I shot it. Should I clean it now, or wait until one more trip to the range?
I always clean my rifles after every range trip. I remember someone saying that you don't really clean .22lr barrels though as the bullets themselves are lubricated

I’ve been storing my second plate carrier — Hesco L210s in a Crye JPC 2.0 — in my car trunk for like over a year now. I live in the Northeast and given the wide range of temperatures we experience, is this compromising the integrity of the plates? Probably a stupid question but I get super paranoid for some reason

>Where would you have that done?
Some gun stores offer the service but Engraving shops are a thing everywhere. The same places that make trophies for sports, business awards, signs and nameplates, etc.
Thanks anon, are engraving shops usually cool with gun parts? I know some businesses are weird about anything to do with firearms. I also just checked LTT and they do engraving apparently too.
In my experience they are. Check with them first if you're worried. And be clear that you're just talking PARTS and not a whole gun.
Hey /k/ommandos; Got a question about AR parts, and as you all know, /arg/ is a waste of oxygen.
I have no experience with rifles, only pistols. I'd like an ar15, and I'm trying to decide between a 100% home build, buying a complete upper + lower, or just flat out buying a Daniel Defense DDM4v7. What do you all think?
If I do complete upper and lower, would these two be acceptable?
https://aimsurplus.com/products/aero-precision-m4e1-complete-lower-receiver-w-moe-grip-sl-carbine-stock-anodized
and
https://www.aeroprecisionusa.com/m4e1-threaded-complete-upper-16-5-56-mid-length-barrel-atlas-s-one-handguard
Aero is a good start. But if you don't see yourself buying another AR and want something SHTF-proof just go with BCM. Anything beyond BCM is diminishing returns.
>Anything beyond BCM is diminishing returns.
Thanks man! What BCM would be comparable to a DDM4v7? BCM Recce-16 MCMR? From what I'm seeing right now, that's the same price as the DDM4v7. They're both going for about $1500.
Don't get the whole gun. The only parts where quality matters are, from most important to least, bolt, barrel, handguard, trigger. 3 of these 4 are in the upper assembly already. Go with whatever BCM upper you think best suits you, they are all quality choices. Afterwards get a Larue MBT2S trigger and whatever lower you want. You can go as cheap as Anderson if you don't mind potentially having play between the upper and lower. The lower and every other part like charging handle, forward assist, lpk, can be basic milspec and you won't have a problem in the long run.

/k/ is usually military or at least knowledgable about military things. So /k/ can tell that Russia is doing poorly and Ukraine is doing relatively well.
/misc/ is the propaganda board so they heard that Russia is "based" and will bend any information to serve that conclusion.
Thinking about buying a Mossberg 500 “turkey” gun with a 20inch barrel to double as home defense and for hunting. The stock 500s and 590s don’t have chokes that can be changed, or stock fiber optic sights.
Any reason to look at a security model over the turkey gun?
How the hell do I figure out what TA31 model to get?
There are so many variants on the Trijicon website that seem to be nearly identical, and the website itself isn’t very helpful for explaining the difference
I do know that I want one in meters instead of yards as that’s what I’m more used to using, and the chevron, so I’m assuming it will be an RCO
However I want to put on a 16” AR, which is in between 14” (M4) and 16” (M16) so I don’t know which one will work better
Does cylinder length translate into more muzzle velocity? Since the gas is all coming out the cylinder then wouldn't firing .22 lr out of a .22 lr cylinder elongated to fit a .22 magnum frame gun translate into an extra third or more of an inch of barrel length? Just been looking at them naa mini revolvers and it had me thinking. If I bit the bullet I'd probably just go for the cheaper 2" .22 lr only option. I wouldn't consider it for a normal carry gun but a IWB ppk/s is just annoying enough that I might want something smaller and I don't have a .22 anyways.
Also, is the whole 2000 fps threshold for stopping power really that meaningful? .300 blk is getting pretty commonly offered in AR pistols and it seems to beat .223 pretty handily in muzzle energy but is still ~500 fps slower though lighter .300 loads will still be above 2000 fps. .300 blk just doesn't seem too desirable because of the increased recoil and, what, 50% increase in ammo costs?
No. There is some loss of pressure through the cylinder gap, but it's far from "all". Meanwhile it creates another problem: the bullet has to travel farther before it hits the forcing cone. This harms accuracy.
>2000fps threshold
That's not "stopping power", that's "hydrostatic shock". Not the same thing.
The whole point of .300 blk is it's any easy conversion for an AR that supresses well with subsonics. If you're not shooting subs with a can most of the time it's pointless.
Are tattoos cringe and gay?
tattoos are a psychological substitute for scars
up to you if that means cringe/gay
Why the FRICK does Guns.com just randomly clear everything in my wishlist?
Is their a break in count for .223 Wylde barrels?
there is no break in period for any gun, if you feel that there is it means it was cheaply/badly made and you are fixing issues it shouldn't have left the factory with
Frick I was afraid of that. My ar is throwing a round randomly. Even from a beach rest.
What's the brace situation? Are they gone forever?
nobody cares what the atf says anymore
Not that anon, but the boomer RSO at my local range seemed to take an odd interest in my pcc. He asked whether I had one of them "illegal" braces on it, but seemed skeptical when I told him the gun had an 18 inch barrel and was a rifle. This tells me that some cucks do still care
they can seethe and shit their pants all they want but the "rule" is essentially unenforceable
Yeah, but it sure would be nice if they stopped trying to go after things in common use.
>mfw people in media claim braces make a gun more concealable
Don't know where to post this but there was a fnv convention in Goodsprings Nevada last year. There was one last year, it seemed like it was fun, so I'm going this year's event. I was wondering if anyone from here went to the one last year or is anyone planning on going this year? Seems to me like a lot of y'all would want to go
I want an officer size 1911 in .45 to cc. How fricked will my hearing be if I need to use it in a self-defense scenario?
I am not familiar at all with modern handgun cartridges
what's the .38 special equivalent for modern day semi-automatic handguns?
that is to say light recoiling, accurate and having no issues with overpenetration
I guess a .380 pocket pistol, s&w bodyguard for example. But "modern" school of thought is a compact/subcompact 9mm pistol loaded with hollowpoints.
I always hear about how rimmed cases are a b***h to feed in normal semiauto pistol magazine configurations, which is why we don't have semiauto handguns in .357 mag and other cool shit. If that is indeed the case, then why are there so many .22lr mag-fed semiauto handguns? Surely the same magazine issues would apply to .22lr cases, so why doesn't it stop those handguns from working?
>which is why we don't have semiauto handguns in .357 mag and other cool shit.
Sorry, what?
Considering to move to colorado maybe. Are there any special laws or something for gunowners compared to other states?

How do I know whether or not I'm a glowie?
Is it possible to build a legal semi-auto PM63 RAK? I keep seeing parts kits for them floating around.
do they make flip-to-side mounts for full size sniper scopes? would using two separate ones be practical?
No, they don't make those. Flip mounts aren't perfectly solid, they have a little play in them because of the flip mechanism. Some are better than others but they're never perfect. That slop is acceptable for short range use but they're totally inappropriate for long range precision shooting. A solid mount is super important for long range shooting, a flip mount is the last thing you'd want.
Playing a game and wondering what does the 3 mean whats that part's purpose?
That is a rear iron sight that can be rotated to give different reticles to be used at different ranges
It should be a V-notch for 100m, and then different sized holes for 2-400m
the 3 is for 300m
you can’t use it at all with that setup because you have an optic instead
Is it safe to dry fire modern rimfire firearms or will it hurt the firing pin?
The risk isn't to the firing pin, it's to the chamber which the firing pin could hit without a cartridge to stop it. RTFM, this varies a lot from gun to gun.
Surely the breech face/chamber area would be pretty strong to contain the pressure from the cartridge? I know .22LR isn’t exactly high pressure but still
Strong? Yes. Hard? Not as hard as the firing pin.
The firing pin rarely breaks. The edge of the chamber usually gets damaged. It's not the chamber wall that's the problem, it's right where the rim would fit. This problem is so common there are dedicated tools for fixing it.
The risk is breaking the firing pin of older rimfires by smashing it into the chamber wall without some nice soft brass to stop it. The chamber walls will be fine.
My CLP bottle is finally reaching its end after 4 years. Is there a superior alternative for lubricating and removing/preventing rust?
