was raised JW, you are incorrect. Also, 1914 was like Russell's third time guessing when Jebus was coming back, and he was about ready to call that shit and start looking for a new Armageddon date when some Serb shot an Austrian homosexual and kicked off some big shitstorm.
No, he said the destruction of the temple would happen within one generation, and it did. Which basically was an apocalypse of sorts for the israelites.
I refuse to speak in absolutes until something absolutely happens, unlike most homosexuals here. There is a joke of some guy who has all sorts of religious talismans in case of any religion being the correct one lol can’t remember where
Why would I go to any reputable gun smith just to have all their records confiscated at the whim of the ATF after an arbitrary (illegal) ~~*(gun control law*~~ gets enacted that basically makes all my shit illegal.. in minecraft.
1. Gunsmiths in general aren't required to keep those kinds of records; it'd only come up if they were "manufacturing" a "firearm" by, e.g., rewelding a torched receiver like OP is asking about
2. Because the alternative is becoming a godlike welder who can recreate a dimensionally-correct Chauchat (or whatever) receiver from a box of scraps yourself
I remember missing out on those because it was the first time I looked at Apex. I thought "wow those are cool maybe I'll get some one day". I still don't have m16 receiver bits.
Anyone know a site that sells fallout new Vegas patches? I could go to ebay or Amazon but I don't know how good the quality would be, so I'm asking if there are any good reputable companies out there
Has anybody ever set off 50,000 tons of TNT in one spot to verify that the explosive yield calculations for the nukes we dropped on Japan were accurate?
Later there was also the Minor Scale Test
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_Scale
Remember that with nukes there are quite a few different ways to calculate/determine the yield. You can get information about the progress of the nuclear reaction by analyzing fallout in spectrometers (gamma and other), you can see the locations of various types of damage, you can see injuries from different areas, etc.
It's also kind of immaterial.

I'm sure I was 2-ish as a kid, but parents weren't trigger happy with getting kids diagnosed with shit back then and I unironically grew out of it or socially adapted through adulthood. Exactly the type of person you'd think you'd want having an interest in and a large collection of weapons, kek. Fortunately I grew up in the time just before social media, who the frick knows if the internet would have destroyed my spergy mind like it did to so many others
The man being shot in the “Saigon Execution” photo was Nguyễn Văn Lém, also known as Captain Bay Lop, and he was exactly the kind of enemy fighter that Loan’s men were looking for.
According to Lém’s widow, he had disappeared just prior to the Tet Offensive, and according to the soldiers who captured him in Saigon, he was caught practically red-handed leading a Viet Cong hit team tasked with killing National Police members or, if they couldn’t find any, their families instead.
On the morning of the “Saigon Execution” photo, Nguyễn Văn Lém’s death squad had just killed 34 people – seven police officers, two or three Americans, and several police officers’ family members, all bound at the wrists and shot in the head over a pit – and they may have been looking for Loan himself.
Legally, this put Lém in a bad position. He wasn’t wearing a uniform, he wasn’t fighting a battle, and he had evidently committed a major war crime against General Loan’s own subordinates and their kids.
As a war criminal and terrorist, Lém had effectively no protection under the Geneva Conventions and was eligible for summary execution when caught.
Eddie Adams’ “Saigon Execution” photo made its way into countless papers around the world, stripped of context and presented as a war crime caught on film. Without knowing who the “victim” was or why he was shot, the public was left to assume that he was just a random civilian being murdered by a bloodthirsty sadist.
>Cheaper gun >Cheaper ammo >Equal or more stopping power due to longer barrel and better ammunition selection
What you should be asking yourself is if you want a slightly easier to shoot gun that will be more reliable or if you want a smaller gun that's better in every other way and reliable enough as long as you shoot the right ammo and sent it back to factory if you get a lemon. I'd even say the easier to shoot thing flips because you can buy more .380 and thus practice more.
Fair.
I'll be honest I've never actually considered buffalo bore for carry cause I think of them as just selling overpriced hardcast that's somehow going faster then competition for the same weight for shooting bears and the like. If you discount those loads then the energies are comparable.
Why hasn't anyone tried to make a 42.7mm (diameter of a golf ball) projectile that is launched out of a golf ball launcher for an AR (that uses blanks to propel them)?
I'd think someone in the 3d printing community would have had this idea already. This seems like an alternative to a 37mm flare launcher with some advantages and some disadvantages.
I know the can cannon that launches 12 oz cans has a grappling hook made for it, so using projectiles other than golf balls shouldn't snag on destructive device classification. 12 oz cans are 66 mm in diameter in case anyone's curious.
What would they shoot? Flares? Smoke? Niche ammo for a niche product that people won't shoot more than a few times. It's hard even finding non 12 gauge flare rounds.

Just meet women normally and bring up airsoft and hunting early and see if they're interested, or engage in outdoor groups online and irl then bring those topics up with women you meet. Airsoft is a sausage fest but is an indicator someone is interested in larping while hunting brings up guns in a benign way.

That's a massive load of bullshit. I don't have the time to invest in a skill I'd only use for making "stupid toys".
I washed my (wool) jeep cap with clear Dawn soap. However, drying is the worst. Shit shrinks, gets all out of shape, etc. It's a b***h. Or just Lysol it and pray kek. I do that with any old hats I buy that I don't feel like washing.
Dishsoap is the way to go. Just put it on an oatmeal tin or something so it keeps its shape.

What are the flaps on the bottom of some concealable armor carriers for?
I take it you're supposed to tuck them in your pants, but I really cant see why you would want to do that.
So the armor doesn't ride up and bump you in the chin when you sit down—not only is it annoying, it can blow your cover if you're wearing it professionally and need to conceal it.
Somebody needs to get a navy whistle-blower to spill the details. I imagine that any of them would know what the women get up to, they love that gossip shit.
The b***h/prostitute dichotomy they talk about in Marine Corps Yumi is real, except like 90% of them choose prostitute. True for all branches. The only military bawds I met who had any standards at all were Marine moron bawds who would frick only marines (but also literally any marine that asked).
The nastiest bawd of all was an airforce interpreter who was later medically discharged because she managed to get so blown out that she wore through the wall of her vegana and her perineum, causing her to get horrible infections from the fact that she had feces getting in her vegana through the tear and also preventing the tear from healing. It wasn't that bad yet when I fricked her, but I still found myself wishing I had been wearing a tyvek that I could have tucked into the condom to keep her bodily fluids from touching the rest of me.
jesus christ how many women has that bawd fricked. I have heard of her from two different people. Three now. She was fricking the locals and got some fricked up shit, right?

Oh and iirc you can get slapped with the crimes that someone commits using your stolen gun if it was not securely stored, so that's fun.
There's a whole list of specific banned firearms out there, but it basically banned features like threaded barrels, forward grips, pistol grips, and other shit that applies to most modern long guns. Shotguns were more or less untouched by the ass ban, but the previous mag ban took away shit like the KSG and shotgun magazines over 10 rounds. I believe handguns were also covered by the ass ban's list of spoopy features, so no more threaded barrels for example.

There's a difference between being held liable and being thrown in prison because you got burgled. Safe storage laws mandating that your guns are inaccessible within the home are one step towards disarmament. Are you going to tell the home invader to patiently wait while you open your separate gun and magazine/ammo safes?
I ended up looking up the regulations and I must have remembered an initial draft because it wasn't nearly as bad as i thought it was. It appears that you're (allegedly, frick our AG) exempt if the criminal got it through an unlawful entry of your property and/or as long as you report the theft to cops within 5 days (because frick people on vacation away from home). Also the punishment is either a misdemeanor (1 year jail/$5,000 fine) or a class C felony (5 years/$10,000) depending on whether the guy simply displayed the gun or hurt someone. Funnily enough, you can get slapped with that misdemeanor if the guy damaged your gun. I wonder if there are any other laws where you're punished for a criminal damaging your property.

From my understanding the ZIP 22’s horrible reliability comes from the fact that the bolt is too light, being made of polymer. But if you fed it subsonic ammo like CCI Quiets, do you think it would be more reliable?
Context if it matters at all: I'm going to be mounting it to a Weatherby Vanguard (6.5-300) and trying to work on my long-range chops, eventually I want to go on an elk hunt or something in the near future but for now I've set a personal goal to myself of just getting good at shooting and being accurate at long (~1000 yard) range.

I'm planning to try put a trapdoor compartment in the wooden stock of my .22 savage bolt gun. I plan to buy a worn out Lee Enfield buttplate, file to size if need be, and then drill a tube hole into the stock to line up with it's door. It this a moronic idea?
If its a massive difference in size width which there probably is, its gonna be a b***h to get the geometry of that right with hand tools imo. What is the compartment for? If you want on board storage for some reason get cloth or leather stock saddles with compartments for the rifle. I've done that on a couple guns to carry a pull through and some tools before
Mainly just a pull through and some tools. Basically a cleaning kit compartment. I'm probably gonna go the saddle route but this seemed like a cool little idea to consider, for fun more than anything

Hello, I wanted to buy my first shotgun and wanted to know what is a reliable model or brand? There were a lot of options to choose from. It would be a hunting shotgun. for duck/dove.

I have an Ace skeleton stock on an AR with an A2 buffer tube. It won't budge when I try to remove it even after removing all the screws and moving the foam back.
Any advice?
I’ve moved my shorty skeleton between builds and had the same thing happen. You gotta wiggle the tube out from the foam cover before anything else moves.
Nah, it was stuck after rolling the foam clear. You can get that foam tube on and off the buffer tube easy with compressed air; electronics duster works in a pinch if you're willing to put up with finger foods tasting like soap for a day or two.

Is there a PrepHole filter for the Ukraine/Russia threads?
Your best bet is regex, but that's not going to work too well because both sides will regularly change their vernacular and/or use vague wording.
My plan is to keep my gas mask, filters, and some other cbrn stuff in a convenient drop-leg that I'll keep in my pack until necessary.
However, I don't know where to keep my Geiger counter or chemical detection/air quality devices.
Here are my paths of thought so far. >keep detectors on harness, then detect if areas you're entering require CBRN equipment
The first issue with this is that if I'm entering an area that requires CBRN, maybe I should have had it on before I came in contact with it. Second is that it occupies space that could be taken up by something with more universal utility. >keep detectors in pouch on drop leg
I suppose this makes the kit more coherent and I can figure out when I no longer require a respirator/other precautions but how am I supposed to detect if things get bad?
How should I handle this? This is all for stalker/urbex larp, at the end of the day, so I guess it shouldn't matter too much. Ideally I should be able to research the area and determine if CBRN measures are necessary but people aren't always going to mark if an old building 100 miles from civilization has a problem with the air quality inside.
Secondary question: I have a good Geiger counter but does anyone have suggestions for good air-quality/chemical detectors? Mine sucks ass.
Asbestos detectors, surprisingly, exist, as do, I'm sure, detectors for all kinds of other shit you don't want to breathe—how many detectors are you willing to festoon your kit with before giving up and just donning your full-face respirator with P100s (which will protect your eyes and lungs from all CBRN threats except no-bullshit C like mustard gas and chlorine) any time you enter a poorly-ventilated area?
I only want to carry a Geiger counter and something to measure if air quality is dropping. I know there are sort of generalist detectors that can let you know if certain types of chemicals are in the air but not to the extent of how bad it is. At max, a couple detectors for the bigger issues.
The tool you're probably wanting for measuring how much not-air stuff is in the air around you is called an "air particle counter"—once you have one of those and know how to use it, you can move on to more specialized detectors for threats like asbestos, formaldehyde, radon, etc. as you feel necessary

I bought an M39 Mosin that's lost finish above the wood and gotten little rusty specks in the pitting. I don't care about resale value and I don't want it to get any worse, so I think I'm going to try cold bluing for the first time. Questions: >Is it actually necessary to soak the gun in oil after bluing, or is that just to darken the tone of the finish? >The only steel wool I have to clean it up is some common scrubbing wool for cast iron. Will that work or frick up the metal? Only other alternative on hand is 220 grit sandpaper.
Any other advice?
>The only steel wool I have to clean it up is some common scrubbing wool for cast iron. Will that work or frick up the metal?
#0000 or a copper chore boy (shittier choice) works fine. Just don't put a shitload of muscle into it. Be gentle, go slow. You can always remove more rust but you can't put damaged finish back on. I'm sure thicker steel wool works fine but #0000 is recommended as it's very fine (however it requires cleanup due to all the little pieces of it that gets everywhere). Use a little oil and #0000 and see how it looks afterwards. >Only other alternative on hand is 220 grit sandpaper.
Do not. Sandpaper would be moronic and ruin that finish. It would also look like shit as the scuffs from sandpaper leave a "brushed" finish. Looks like garbage and will scrape right through your bluing on first swipe. Using sandpaper on anything but unfinished wood would be moron-tier.
Checked. Either do it outside or use whatever gas mask you want with whatever particulate filters it takes. If you have some N95s left over from the Coofening they'll do fine.
I like my S&W 629—the 4" is 42 ounces (the same weight as a full-size steel-frame 1911) so it's heavy enough to practice comfortably with full-power .44 Mag loads but light enough that you could carry it if you wanted to.
No actual experience with leverguns, but you'll want one with a side loading gate so you can keep it topped up instead of having to partially disassemble the magazine to reload.
They're pretty common among people who shoot for a living, but their price point and lack of marketable features besides good glass and being indestructible make them relatively rare among gun collectors.
>irl shooters
They're more annoying to use with the prism eyebox problems and are unreasonably expensive but durable so militaries love issuing them and civillians prefer cheaper optics. Piggyback setups are getting trendy for consumers but are too costly to pick up much steam in the market.
My state requires a straight-walled cartridge for deer hunting, and I want something I can conceal carry too.
Sharing ammunition sounds nice but for most people is a more expensive and less effective option because you're buying an expensive levergun and can only feed your pistol that same expensive cartridge. Unless you already really want to carry a .44 snub nose just get a .350 rifle and a .380 pistol.
I barely have any $1k guns. Shit, without stocks and accessories included, none of my guns are $1k. Which means frick spending ~$1k on an ACOG for fun.
There isn't one; 1–10× and 1–8× LPVOs are flawed on a conceptual level because the laws of optics prevent them from being as good as people expect them to be, especially at the price points they usually run. They're so unavoidably compromised that they caused pushback against LPVOs in general.
Nightforce's 1–8s are well-regarded, with the ATACR being a precision scope that can be dialed down to 1× if you need to and the NX8 being a more traditional LPVO that you can (but usually shouldn't) run up to 8×.
Just get a 1–4× triangle post Accupoint or 1–6× Razor HD-E like a sensible person.
Shot a potentially overpressure round that managed to blow out the primer and damage my gun. Do major manufacturers help cover repair costs in these circumstances or am I gonna be lucky to even get them to replace the box?
"it depends" but most manufacturers worth buying guns from will sort it out for you—even if it was a handload and the warranty doesn't cover it, having them fix it will be cheaper than buying a new gun or having the guy at the gun store who totally knows what he's doing take a crack at it.
Maybe? Unless you, like, sued them I assume the best they'd be able to do is give you some free ammo so you could use the money you'd have spent on it on repairs instead.
What are the gun and ammo in question, out of curiosity?
I don't want to start a new thread, but I promised to scan and upload an Archive link to a couple old books I recently inherited. So I'm just putting the first two here now.

It's held me back in many regards. I've turned down social opportunities because of it, ive held off calling my bank to solve disputes because of it, and much more.
This has always been something I've been embarrassed and ashamed of. I look like an idiot when I'm taking to someone and it happens. I feel like I'm wasting their time or making it awkward. I run out of air and my mouth locks up. I look like a fish out of water.

Gunstruction is a useful tool, though doesn't have a wide selection of parts and the interface can take some getting used to. It's also not well optimized.

Is there any company that makes a pre fit barrel with no chambering? I'm looking for a remington 700 .338 barrel without a chamber (1:9 twist preferred but I'll go with 1:10) that will probably take a while to complete
Prefit barrels are only partially chambered. The chamber isn't cut to full depth, the expectation is that you will do that yourself when you put the gun together. Or just ask the barrel maker not to chamber it. They are all used to people making special requests, just talk to them directly instead of using the web form.
I didn't think I could've made a request to not chamber it. My biggest concern was basically having an oversize chamber in a spot and the possibility of fricking up expensive brass that I bought because of the somewhat larger dimension chamber
>I didn't think I could've made a request to not chamber it
Of course you can. Everything a barrel maker does is custom.
>My biggest concern was basically having an oversize chamber in a spot
That's not a concern at all. In fact, it's one of the more absurd worries I've ever read here.
>it's one of the more absurd worries I've ever read here
That's fair. I'm just wanting to try my hand at assembling a remington 700 and this is my first time for that
IMO, it looks a bit more western than scifi. Unless the space outlaw look is what you're going for.
You can do what you want, but if I would go for a bullpup version with a blocky handguard for scifi.
THAT IS EXACTLY what i was gone for, western. its space western. yeah. Outlaw hunter.
Wanted a super shotgun shape gun too. may give him a bullpup in the future too something blocky, thx.
He is also like 10' tall, the guns scaled to him, don't know what caliber would that be.
>western. its space western. yeah.
Okay then it's perfect the way it is. I wouldn't touch it at all. Maybe the furniture could be customized colors or something. Dunno, looks good for what you're going for though. Blocky is generic scifi but for western scifi what you have works. You could try to take the handguard off of old lever action actions and fit it on there too.

I picked Saiga cuz binary trigger could be substitute for double shot, like a SSG double barrel.
The biggest problem with this gun from a "would it function" point of view is that you have the magazine in line with the bolt and the barrel where the gas tube should be. So now there's no place for the operating system unless you give it a Remington 1100 style gas system around the magazine tube and have the bolt be inverted, but that plays merry hell with the bolt carrier rails, feed elevator, and ejector if you're going to have an AK style dust cover, because a lot of this stuff is now having to share its location with everything else. It's probably not insurmountable, but it would be a lot simpler to just scale up the Model 1100 action or the Auto 5 action to whatever shotgun round is being used by your 10 foot protag and say it's got a binary trigger/AK style selector if you'd like.
>The biggest problem with this gun from a "would it function" point of view is that you have the magazine in line with the bolt and the barrel where the gas tube should be.
So it'd be fine if the magazine tube were on top and the barrel underneath it?
It would frick the aesthetics you’re looking for. The mag tube feed ramp needs to be behind the chamber. So it would end up where the bolt is, and you’d either have to load only when the bolt is open or have a big scoop in the bolt that you can load through and maybe a mutilated dust cover either way. You could make it work if you went from an RPD pattern receiver, but that looks even less like an AK than a Remington 1100 with an AK selector.

I think i get what your saying. ill adjust things in mspaint, using a semi shotty as ref to share locations.

I think as long the bolt travels relatively the same should be fine. Smaller Internal stuff can be figured out by kraut space magic engineers.

I guess what I'm getting at is that anyone who's an AK fan will know that if your upper barrel is aligned with the top of the trunion, that your operation system isn't just AK, even if it borrows receiver geometry. Because if you just assume the bolt carrier is upside down and the gas system is working on a piston that's wrapped around the mag tube (ala 1100), then the bolt carrier is interfering with the trigger mechanism during cycling, and if you go low barrel and top mount magazine, then not only do you need to reload through the top of the bolt carrier, but the loading an ejecting stuff has to happen in the same place (not impossible Browning BPSs do it, but adds complexity, especially at autoloader function speeds, and creates a possibility for unique and horrifying jams).
This is obviously a million years in MS paint, but a triple tube setup would simplify all of your operation concerns, but I understand if that's not the look you want.
Remove the magazine catch (below receiver, under the "F" on the selector markings) as you have a tube mag now and magazines no longer function. No clue how you'd make the lifter, loading gate, and shit work in a Saiga though.

You aren’t supposed to be either.
It’s absolutely not a healthy way to live.
I dunno if you’re the age of majority yet, but if you’ve got a friend or a relative in the area that you can live with in the interim, I would strongly consider telling your family that you’re going to be spending a month away and that if they can’t get it together in a month, that you’re not coming back until they go to family therapy with you.
Or if you have one sibling who’s the constant bad egg, just beat the shit out of them periodically until they figure it out.
>It’s absolutely not a healthy way to live.
I know.
I have zero energy or will to do anything. Not even watching anime seems interesting to me anyway. I don't have the energy to binge eat comfort food even. I just lay in bed staring at the sealing and then I feel bad for doing nothing, but I don't have the desire to do anything.
I've been trying to be the opposite of them but all that gets me is my face in the mud and a foot on my back. Move away and start again was the obvious answer, but why would I do that when snapping and killing them sounds such more fun? What like I was of ever capable of living a normal life anyway, if I was cut out for that I would've done it anyway. No, I'm a murderous psychopath just waiting for something to set me off. I live for the day I get to kill them both and finally set the world right when I end myself. After all, the universe would be such a nice place without two scumbags and villain stinking it up.
Insane? No. You haven't seen the world im living in. It's everyone else who's gone insane. Sure, I could switch worlds, but everything I've ever known and the few things I might hold dear to me exist in here. What makes you think I could just get up and leave even if I wanted to? If I'm insane, then you're all idiots.

pinning the blame on other people and devaluing their efforts will make them mad at you
if you end up in jail at least you'd have beaten your brothers so bloody they can't harm your parents anymore, and you'll be away from them. just make to permanently break their arms or legs if you do so otherwise it's for naught
I don't have a .22 but want something for plinking. The .22 lr NAA mini at 250 bucks isn't far off other handguns and I can use it for backup/deep concealment too, maybe put on some sights even. Thoughts? My issues would be lack of sights, I don't know if I'd want to get the more expensive larger models that come with them, and the fact it's a single action with a short barrel so I can't shoot it in semi or handle pests out of a 1.8" barrel.
Most dysfunctional and abusive people aren't always like that which makes you think they're livable when they aren't acting up. Usual advice of finish school then get a job and try to move out any way distance yourself from them and become a shutin until you can get out might not apply here if it's just your two brothers. Maybe to get your dad to stop being a pussy and threaten to kick them out.
What did Royal Navy sailors eat in colonial times? It must've been something hearty and filling for the backbreaking labor of the sailors that supported an empire who ruled a third of the world.
They would eat all kinds of stuff when they could get it fresh but after enough time at sea it would basically just be salt pork/beef, bully beef and hardtack.
God I wish. Ideally there would be a board specifically for weapons discussion, where threads about politics and current events would be considered off-topic, but....
I mostly, follow the Ukraine war through liveuamap and the daily videos posted by the Reporting From Ukraine youtube channel. The youtube channel basically shows small progress of liberated Ukranian territory every other day, while the liveuamap hasn't changed in weeks. Does liveuamap just update slowly, or is the youtube channel overreporting? Or is it just a case of different sources?
Sorry for being depressing, but this was the tab I had open and I needed to type something.
My 16 year old dog is in really bad shape. She has all sorts of issues that have gradually presented themselves over the years as you expect with aging dogs, but I still felt like she had a decent quality of life since she still seemed to be doing the things she enjoyed. Yesterday she stopped eating and drinking despite my best efforts, and she stopped being her (relatively) active self. She was the same today and, unless she does a 180 and perks up tomorrow morning, I think it's time to put her to sleep for her own good. She's sleeping and looking so peaceful, but I just can't sleep.
Anons, take care of your battle buddies and treasure the time you have with them.
>inb4 call a vet, butthole
She just saw the vet a short time ago, and they could see that the end was near with the issues she had. This is not something I'm taking lightly or a knee-jerk response.
>inb4 call a vet, butthole
She just saw the vet a short time ago, and they could see that the end was near with the issues she had. This is not something I'm taking lightly or a knee-jerk response.
Sorry to hear that anon. This isn't something elderly dogs bounce back from. I'm sure you gave her the best life she could have, and you should feel good for that. Another thing to consider is that some vets or other certified parties offer to put dogs to sleep in their own home.
I'd recommend seeing if this option is available to you, because its a much easier way for the dog instead of bringing them to the vet where they know something is up, and the travel/conditions aren't the most comfortable. It's not going to be an easy thing to watch either way.
I wish good luck to the both of you, and may she find peace.
In the end we will all return to where we came from, and although we have no way of knowing where that is or what it looks like, we can guarantee that we will all be together. In meantime, while the present is still certain we can love and comfort each other. 16 years is a long time, If this is particularly rough for you, maybe you should take a day or two off and go visit family in the near future.
Come to mention it, that is what my grandfather did. But how come while dogs get to get poked with a night-night needle people have to suffer in the ICU, breathing through an oxygen mask with tubes all in them, and falling in and out of seizures in a dark, quite corner of a hospital?
>people have to suffer in the ICU
That happens when they fail to make their wishes known with a living will. It's a choice. And the same happens to some pets too when their owners can't let go.
Us? No fricking clue. Dogs go to dog heaven though. They're too pure for this world, and they get to go chase cats and Amazon drivers with their old doggy friends that aren't with us anymore. I like to think we get to see them again when we pass, but I don't know.

I have a Walther model 9 and every time I pull the slide back the trigger gets stuck. I end up having to empty the gun and somehow grab the trigger with my finger nails to pull it back forward. How do I fix?
disassembling a winchester 94 rifle, got a couple of stuck screws, what's a good way to get them out? I also noticed the bolt holding on the stock appears to have some loctite on the threads so I don't know if any of the ones for the action have any on them too.
Kroil or ATF/Acetone, let it sit for a bit, some heat from a hair dryer/heat gun (not torch) is always helpful. 90% of the time the properly sized and scalloped screwdriver will fix you up. If it's still fighting you put the driver in the screw and give it a few taps with a rubber mallet.
Caligay and poorgay student here. My only guns are a Glock 19 and a Benelli Nova Tactical and I kinda feel like the shotgun was a bad decision. My LGS does decent trade deals and has the Magpul backpacker version of the PC Carbine, which seems like a decent option for me since it's reasonably cheap to shoot and uses mags and ammo I already have, and doesn't require hundreds of dollars worth of abomination frickery to be legal here like an AR would.
Think it's worth the swap, or should I just buy a .22 to plink with, keep the scattergun, and wait on a centerfire rifle?
Shotguns are great; are there any trap, skeet, or sporting clays clubs near you?
In any case, PCCs and .22s are delightful, but you shouldn't trade the shotgun for it unless there's something about the Nova that you positively despise.
>are there any trap, skeet, or sporting clays clubs near you?
There are, but an 18" tactical shotgun isn't the tool for the job and while a longer barrel is an option they're stupid expensive, plus I'd have to take my rear ghost ring off the receiver every time I wanted to shoot clays.
The Nova itself is a good gun but has some pretty significant flaws. LoP is a bit long for me and there's no way to fix it because the stock is permanent, there's no good way to mount a light, it only holds 4 in the tube and extensions are both expensive and technically illegal (922r), sidesaddles aren't an option because of the receiver and pump design, and so on. Even if I wanted to stay in the shotgun club I think it'd be cheaper and more effective to just trade the Benelli in on a 590 or something.
That aside, I just really want something to work on rifle marksmanship at the range, the shotgun doesn't help me much there and it's just boring to take out. Maybe a .22 really is the way to go though.
As said, if you have specific gripes with the Nova that make you unlikely to ever shoot it again, and you don't want to stick a flashlight on it and stick it under your bed for HD, my all means flip it toward something you'll actually like. >there's no good way to mount a light
https://rsregulate.com/product/bm-12/
It's less than ideal but it's probably the least jank option that I'd expect to work on the Nova.
I'm not even sure that'd fit on the Nova, it's got a pretty heavy barrel (probably because it can take 3.5" shells) that tapers all the way down. It'd also end up stupidly far forward. The best option I've seen is to get a mag extension with a barrel clamp that has a rail on it, but that starts getting expensive and honestly I think a handy 9mm PCC might be more suitable for my HD situation than a 12ga anyway. (5.56 would be even better, obviously but not when nerfed into near-uselessness by CA's stupid laws.)
I definitely agree that the Nova should go since you hate it, but I'm skeptical of the idea that 5.56 is a better HD option than 12ga, unless you're extremely recoil-sensitive or you have a 200-yard driveway. #4 buckshot is marginal at "long range" but inside a house it fricks hard while still not plowing through too many layers of drywall.
What's the best non-Bubba way to re-darken the front sight post on an older rifle where the bluing has started rubbing off to prevent glare?
We used picrel on our M16 front sight posts in the .mil but it's not permanent, doesn't look that good and is hard to get if you don't live near a base with an exchange that sells it.
Are we really in the end times?
Jehovah's witnesses are moronic but they may have had a point in saying 1914 was the beginning of the end times.
was raised JW, you are incorrect. Also, 1914 was like Russell's third time guessing when Jebus was coming back, and he was about ready to call that shit and start looking for a new Armageddon date when some Serb shot an Austrian homosexual and kicked off some big shitstorm.
well its a lot easier to predict things when they happen invisibly.
Best kit for surviving the end times? Will our 9mm CCWs even scratch demonhide?
9mm blows the lung out of the body regardless of demonhide is involved
Nah, people were expecting the end times from the beginning. Jesus himself said the second coming would be within a generation after his death.
No, he said the destruction of the temple would happen within one generation, and it did. Which basically was an apocalypse of sorts for the israelites.

1. Gunsmiths in general aren't required to keep those kinds of records; it'd only come up if they were "manufacturing" a "firearm" by, e.g., rewelding a torched receiver like OP is asking about
2. Because the alternative is becoming a godlike welder who can recreate a dimensionally-correct Chauchat (or whatever) receiver from a box of scraps yourself

Has anybody ever set off 50,000 tons of TNT in one spot to verify that the explosive yield calculations for the nukes we dropped on Japan were accurate?
First, they were no where near 50kt yield. And yes, they did calibrate trinity with a tnt blast of 108 tons.
>108 tons
I bet that was Oppenheimer's idea—fricking Orientalist nerd
Later there was also the Minor Scale Test
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_Scale
Remember that with nukes there are quite a few different ways to calculate/determine the yield. You can get information about the progress of the nuclear reaction by analyzing fallout in spectrometers (gamma and other), you can see the locations of various types of damage, you can see injuries from different areas, etc.
It's also kind of immaterial.

The Xes are redaction marks, like when a Mega Man game is set in "20XX"—she weighs somewhere between 10 and 99 kilos and doesn't want to talk about it.
(that being said, at 7ft tall she'd have to be at least 113 kg just to be "overweight")

I can't believe I forgot about the truth behind that dark period of history
The man being shot in the “Saigon Execution” photo was Nguyễn Văn Lém, also known as Captain Bay Lop, and he was exactly the kind of enemy fighter that Loan’s men were looking for.
According to Lém’s widow, he had disappeared just prior to the Tet Offensive, and according to the soldiers who captured him in Saigon, he was caught practically red-handed leading a Viet Cong hit team tasked with killing National Police members or, if they couldn’t find any, their families instead.
On the morning of the “Saigon Execution” photo, Nguyễn Văn Lém’s death squad had just killed 34 people – seven police officers, two or three Americans, and several police officers’ family members, all bound at the wrists and shot in the head over a pit – and they may have been looking for Loan himself.
Legally, this put Lém in a bad position. He wasn’t wearing a uniform, he wasn’t fighting a battle, and he had evidently committed a major war crime against General Loan’s own subordinates and their kids.
As a war criminal and terrorist, Lém had effectively no protection under the Geneva Conventions and was eligible for summary execution when caught.
Eddie Adams’ “Saigon Execution” photo made its way into countless papers around the world, stripped of context and presented as a war crime caught on film. Without knowing who the “victim” was or why he was shot, the public was left to assume that he was just a random civilian being murdered by a bloodthirsty sadist.
>eligible for summary execution when caught
so he was legally executing a war criminal
and everyone thought *he* was the war criminal
Yes. The general should have turned his gun on the far more pressing threat, the j*urnalist.
>Cheaper gun
>Cheaper ammo
>Equal or more stopping power due to longer barrel and better ammunition selection
What you should be asking yourself is if you want a slightly easier to shoot gun that will be more reliable or if you want a smaller gun that's better in every other way and reliable enough as long as you shoot the right ammo and sent it back to factory if you get a lemon. I'd even say the easier to shoot thing flips because you can buy more .380 and thus practice more.
>Buffalo Bore +P .380
>Lightweight standard pressure .38
Buffalo Bore 20A 158gr .38 +P gets 379 ft-lbs out of a 2" barrel and is an unjacketed soft lead HP that always expands.
Fair.
I'll be honest I've never actually considered buffalo bore for carry cause I think of them as just selling overpriced hardcast that's somehow going faster then competition for the same weight for shooting bears and the like. If you discount those loads then the energies are comparable.
Why hasn't anyone tried to make a 42.7mm (diameter of a golf ball) projectile that is launched out of a golf ball launcher for an AR (that uses blanks to propel them)?
I'd think someone in the 3d printing community would have had this idea already. This seems like an alternative to a 37mm flare launcher with some advantages and some disadvantages.
I know the can cannon that launches 12 oz cans has a grappling hook made for it, so using projectiles other than golf balls shouldn't snag on destructive device classification. 12 oz cans are 66 mm in diameter in case anyone's curious.
What would they shoot? Flares? Smoke? Niche ammo for a niche product that people won't shoot more than a few times. It's hard even finding non 12 gauge flare rounds.

Just meet women normally and bring up airsoft and hunting early and see if they're interested, or engage in outdoor groups online and irl then bring those topics up with women you meet.

The residue shouldn't have hurt the finish, chances are it was whatever you used to clean.
With good shot placement, sure. I'd use LR if given the choice but that's easy to say as someone with a few .22LRs lying around, if all you have is a short I wouldn't hesitate to use it.
What should I go for in a piston style AR?

I shot some winchester fmj 38 spc out of my model ten about 3 months ago and waited a week or two before getting around to cleaning it. When i wiped off some of the residue carbon scoring powder whatever it took some of the finish with it. What the frick? I thought that shit only happened with like surplus corrosive ammo. Any advice?
What are the flaps on the bottom of some concealable armor carriers for?
I take it you're supposed to tuck them in your pants, but I really cant see why you would want to do that.
So the armor doesn't ride up and bump you in the chin when you sit down—not only is it annoying, it can blow your cover if you're wearing it professionally and need to conceal it.

is it true that females in the military are bawds that let 50 dudes frick them?
False, they let at least like 100 dudes plow them
What about navy women? Are they all lesbians? Surely the gays aren't plowing them.
Nobody knows since that would require a heterosexual Navy man to exist.
Somebody needs to get a navy whistle-blower to spill the details. I imagine that any of them would know what the women get up to, they love that gossip shit.
The b***h/prostitute dichotomy they talk about in Marine Corps Yumi is real, except like 90% of them choose prostitute. True for all branches. The only military bawds I met who had any standards at all were Marine moron bawds who would frick only marines (but also literally any marine that asked).
The nastiest bawd of all was an airforce interpreter who was later medically discharged because she managed to get so blown out that she wore through the wall of her vegana and her perineum, causing her to get horrible infections from the fact that she had feces getting in her vegana through the tear and also preventing the tear from healing. It wasn't that bad yet when I fricked her, but I still found myself wishing I had been wearing a tyvek that I could have tucked into the condom to keep her bodily fluids from touching the rest of me.

Can't buy/import anything that holds more than 10 rounds (external and internal mags) or has spoopy ass rifle features, but shit like Mossberg Shockwaves are still around for purchase and possession itself isn't a crime. West of the Cascades is fairly cucked by Olympia and Seattle, but from what i hear things are more based to the east. Avoid King County unless you want to get culturally enriched with aids.
Currently waiting for Supreme Court to BTFO ass rifle and mag bans so we can have fun again.
>t. Living relatively close to Seattle, have watched it slide further down the drain over the years from a safe distance
Oh and iirc you can get slapped with the crimes that someone commits using your stolen gun if it was not securely stored, so that's fun.
basically what can I still get assuming I'm not in an entirely cucked county
There's a whole list of specific banned firearms out there, but it basically banned features like threaded barrels, forward grips, pistol grips, and other shit that applies to most modern long guns. Shotguns were more or less untouched by the ass ban, but the previous mag ban took away shit like the KSG and shotgun magazines over 10 rounds. I believe handguns were also covered by the ass ban's list of spoopy features, so no more threaded barrels for example.
Thank god der furher Inslee is stepping down from governor next election.
There's a difference between being held liable and being thrown in prison because you got burgled. Safe storage laws mandating that your guns are inaccessible within the home are one step towards disarmament. Are you going to tell the home invader to patiently wait while you open your separate gun and magazine/ammo safes?
I ended up looking up the regulations and I must have remembered an initial draft because it wasn't nearly as bad as i thought it was. It appears that you're (allegedly, frick our AG) exempt if the criminal got it through an unlawful entry of your property and/or as long as you report the theft to cops within 5 days (because frick people on vacation away from home). Also the punishment is either a misdemeanor (1 year jail/$5,000 fine) or a class C felony (5 years/$10,000) depending on whether the guy simply displayed the gun or hurt someone. Funnily enough, you can get slapped with that misdemeanor if the guy damaged your gun. I wonder if there are any other laws where you're punished for a criminal damaging your property.
yeah, sorry bud but if you don't securely store your gun and your shit gets stolen and used to commit a crime, you SHOULD be held liable. you b***h babies getting so fricking upset that there should be consequences for being careless and moronic beta brains and keeping your valuable and dangerous shit secure make the rest of us look like drooling morons.

Why was the RPK a success whereas the MG36 a failure? Both are lmg variants of a rifle yet RPK actually seemed to be decent
the magazines killed it, Beta C mags are unreliable as frick, same thing happened to the M27, Cmags kept jamming, the surefire 60 rounds too, so it was down to using the old STANAG again.
Australia actually got it right, they just imply used 45 rounds magazines with their AUGs, russia does the same with the RPK, their 60 rounds magazines are very recent and nobody konw if they work as expected
didn't the g36 have a reputation for melting (rightfully or otherwise) so a SAW version of the same gun would be even worse in this regard

I'm planning to try put a trapdoor compartment in the wooden stock of my .22 savage bolt gun. I plan to buy a worn out Lee Enfield buttplate, file to size if need be, and then drill a tube hole into the stock to line up with it's door. It this a moronic idea?
If its a massive difference in size width which there probably is, its gonna be a b***h to get the geometry of that right with hand tools imo. What is the compartment for? If you want on board storage for some reason get cloth or leather stock saddles with compartments for the rifle. I've done that on a couple guns to carry a pull through and some tools before
Mainly just a pull through and some tools. Basically a cleaning kit compartment. I'm probably gonna go the saddle route but this seemed like a cool little idea to consider, for fun more than anything

Don't. Law school is not worth it. You're spending 3 years of your life and $100k+ on a unless degree so you can be a public defender or a divorce lawyer that pays like $60k a year if you are lucky. That is on top of whatever you paid for your undergraduate degree. Just do STEM or something.
As for GPT, that is not even close to replacing lawyers yet. An attorney a couple of states away got busted using it to write a brief because it kept citing to cases that don't exist.

For awhile they were common enough on eBay that you could still find a deal but now they don’t seem to come as often. Check Gunbroker too. I always wanted one.
I’ve moved my shorty skeleton between builds and had the same thing happen. You gotta wiggle the tube out from the foam cover before anything else moves.
Nah, it was stuck after rolling the foam clear. You can get that foam tube on and off the buffer tube easy with compressed air; electronics duster works in a pinch if you're willing to put up with finger foods tasting like soap for a day or two.

My plan is to keep my gas mask, filters, and some other cbrn stuff in a convenient drop-leg that I'll keep in my pack until necessary.
However, I don't know where to keep my Geiger counter or chemical detection/air quality devices.
Here are my paths of thought so far.
>keep detectors on harness, then detect if areas you're entering require CBRN equipment
The first issue with this is that if I'm entering an area that requires CBRN, maybe I should have had it on before I came in contact with it. Second is that it occupies space that could be taken up by something with more universal utility.
>keep detectors in pouch on drop leg
I suppose this makes the kit more coherent and I can figure out when I no longer require a respirator/other precautions but how am I supposed to detect if things get bad?
How should I handle this? This is all for stalker/urbex larp, at the end of the day, so I guess it shouldn't matter too much. Ideally I should be able to research the area and determine if CBRN measures are necessary but people aren't always going to mark if an old building 100 miles from civilization has a problem with the air quality inside.
Secondary question: I have a good Geiger counter but does anyone have suggestions for good air-quality/chemical detectors? Mine sucks ass.
Asbestos detectors, surprisingly, exist, as do, I'm sure, detectors for all kinds of other shit you don't want to breathe—how many detectors are you willing to festoon your kit with before giving up and just donning your full-face respirator with P100s (which will protect your eyes and lungs from all CBRN threats except no-bullshit C like mustard gas and chlorine) any time you enter a poorly-ventilated area?
I only want to carry a Geiger counter and something to measure if air quality is dropping. I know there are sort of generalist detectors that can let you know if certain types of chemicals are in the air but not to the extent of how bad it is. At max, a couple detectors for the bigger issues.
The tool you're probably wanting for measuring how much not-air stuff is in the air around you is called an "air particle counter"—once you have one of those and know how to use it, you can move on to more specialized detectors for threats like asbestos, formaldehyde, radon, etc. as you feel necessary
Thanks, anon. I'll look into these.
I have an Ace skeleton stock on an AR with an A2 buffer tube. It won't budge when I try to remove it even after removing all the screws and moving the foam back.

What's a good online shop to buy cz 75 d pcr compact wood grips?
I bought an M39 Mosin that's lost finish above the wood and gotten little rusty specks in the pitting. I don't care about resale value and I don't want it to get any worse, so I think I'm going to try cold bluing for the first time. Questions:
>Is it actually necessary to soak the gun in oil after bluing, or is that just to darken the tone of the finish?
>The only steel wool I have to clean it up is some common scrubbing wool for cast iron. Will that work or frick up the metal? Only other alternative on hand is 220 grit sandpaper.
Any other advice?
Cum is a natural remedy for rust
Not my cum.
Weird. You okay bro?
Another shot. Cleaned the shit out of it, and after a day the rust is showing better.
Colonel brassy works great on rusty shit I used it on a very old K-BAR
>The only steel wool I have to clean it up is some common scrubbing wool for cast iron. Will that work or frick up the metal?
#0000 or a copper chore boy (shittier choice) works fine. Just don't put a shitload of muscle into it. Be gentle, go slow. You can always remove more rust but you can't put damaged finish back on. I'm sure thicker steel wool works fine but #0000 is recommended as it's very fine (however it requires cleanup due to all the little pieces of it that gets everywhere). Use a little oil and #0000 and see how it looks afterwards.
>Only other alternative on hand is 220 grit sandpaper.
Do not. Sandpaper would be moronic and ruin that finish. It would also look like shit as the scuffs from sandpaper leave a "brushed" finish. Looks like garbage and will scrape right through your bluing on first swipe. Using sandpaper on anything but unfinished wood would be moron-tier.
Got my first scope. Is there a complete moron's beginner guide or video to understanding what all the increments and mils and shit mean?
Your scope manufacturer should have an instruction guide on how to understand their markings. Not all scopes are made equal.
Checked.
People who cast lead bullets and use respirators while doing so, what are some lead respirators you would recommend?
>lead respirators

Basically what I've been leaning towards, anything in particular you'd suggest?
>CCing a 44 magnum
Look pal, not all of us were blessed with a hooj wiener, so I gotta pack something egregious in there to make up for it.
I like my S&W 629—the 4" is 42 ounces (the same weight as a full-size steel-frame 1911) so it's heavy enough to practice comfortably with full-power .44 Mag loads but light enough that you could carry it if you wanted to.
No actual experience with leverguns, but you'll want one with a side loading gate so you can keep it topped up instead of having to partially disassemble the magazine to reload.
Thompson Contender and an AR
Are acogs common among irl shooters as they are in games?
define shooters.
They're pretty common among people who shoot for a living, but their price point and lack of marketable features besides good glass and being indestructible make them relatively rare among gun collectors.
>irl shooters
They're more annoying to use with the prism eyebox problems and are unreasonably expensive but durable so militaries love issuing them and civillians prefer cheaper optics. Piggyback setups are getting trendy for consumers but are too costly to pick up much steam in the market.
Sharing ammunition sounds nice but for most people is a more expensive and less effective option because you're buying an expensive levergun and can only feed your pistol that same expensive cartridge. Unless you already really want to carry a .44 snub nose just get a .350 rifle and a .380 pistol.
I barely have any $1k guns. Shit, without stocks and accessories included, none of my guns are $1k. Which means frick spending ~$1k on an ACOG for fun.

Best 1-10x LPVO, money isn't a concern. I could settle for a 1-8 if yall know of a banger. I don't trust the funny ranking sites.
There isn't one; 1–10× and 1–8× LPVOs are flawed on a conceptual level because the laws of optics prevent them from being as good as people expect them to be, especially at the price points they usually run. They're so unavoidably compromised that they caused pushback against LPVOs in general.
Nightforce's 1–8s are well-regarded, with the ATACR being a precision scope that can be dialed down to 1× if you need to and the NX8 being a more traditional LPVO that you can (but usually shouldn't) run up to 8×.

Shot a potentially overpressure round that managed to blow out the primer and damage my gun. Do major manufacturers help cover repair costs in these circumstances or am I gonna be lucky to even get them to replace the box?
"it depends" but most manufacturers worth buying guns from will sort it out for you—even if it was a handload and the warranty doesn't cover it, having them fix it will be cheaper than buying a new gun or having the guy at the gun store who totally knows what he's doing take a crack at it.
Err I mean ammo manufacturer, the gun is long defunct for being able to call the maker sadly
Maybe? Unless you, like, sued them I assume the best they'd be able to do is give you some free ammo so you could use the money you'd have spent on it on repairs instead.

I've always had a bad stutter in the past, it's not as bad, but it still happens, and now I'm too terrified to speak to anyone because of it.
It's held me back in many regards. I've turned down social opportunities because of it, ive held off calling my bank to solve disputes because of it, and much more.
This has always been something I've been embarrassed and ashamed of. I look like an idiot when I'm taking to someone and it happens. I feel like I'm wasting their time or making it awkward. I run out of air and my mouth locks up. I look like a fish out of water.
I need to make phonecalls that I've held off, but how do I keep myself from being worried about or from stuttering while doing it? I can worry about in person later, but I need phone strategies now.

write down what you need to say and then read it off like you're reading a book aloud. this is the easiest way. you may have to consider writing down potential responses to the person you're calling if it's a conversation. maybe go out and order food at a drive thru to gather some confidence before hand

Gunstruction is a useful tool, though doesn't have a wide selection of parts and the interface can take some getting used to. It's also not well optimized.
It does have the big names, very detailed in it's parts, will tell you what's compatible and what's not, gives you an internal and external view, and even prices.

>look for a pre-fit barrel so I don't have to ask someone to thread a blank
>every one I see seems to have a chambering as a requirement
Is there any company that makes a pre fit barrel with no chambering? I'm looking for a remington 700 .338 barrel without a chamber (1:9 twist preferred but I'll go with 1:10) that will probably take a while to complete
Prefit barrels are only partially chambered. The chamber isn't cut to full depth, the expectation is that you will do that yourself when you put the gun together. Or just ask the barrel maker not to chamber it. They are all used to people making special requests, just talk to them directly instead of using the web form.
I didn't think I could've made a request to not chamber it. My biggest concern was basically having an oversize chamber in a spot and the possibility of fricking up expensive brass that I bought because of the somewhat larger dimension chamber
>I didn't think I could've made a request to not chamber it
Of course you can. Everything a barrel maker does is custom.
>My biggest concern was basically having an oversize chamber in a spot
That's not a concern at all. In fact, it's one of the more absurd worries I've ever read here.

He is also like 10' tall, the guns scaled to him, don't know what caliber would that be.
>western. its space western. yeah.
Okay then it's perfect the way it is. I wouldn't touch it at all. Maybe the furniture could be customized colors or something. Dunno, looks good for what you're going for though. Blocky is generic scifi but for western scifi what you have works. You could try to take the handguard off of old lever action actions and fit it on there too.
Thx!
I picked Saiga cuz binary trigger could be substitute for double shot, like a SSG double barrel.
The biggest problem with this gun from a "would it function" point of view is that you have the magazine in line with the bolt and the barrel where the gas tube should be. So now there's no place for the operating system unless you give it a Remington 1100 style gas system around the magazine tube and have the bolt be inverted, but that plays merry hell with the bolt carrier rails, feed elevator, and ejector if you're going to have an AK style dust cover, because a lot of this stuff is now having to share its location with everything else. It's probably not insurmountable, but it would be a lot simpler to just scale up the Model 1100 action or the Auto 5 action to whatever shotgun round is being used by your 10 foot protag and say it's got a binary trigger/AK style selector if you'd like.
>The biggest problem with this gun from a "would it function" point of view is that you have the magazine in line with the bolt and the barrel where the gas tube should be.
So it'd be fine if the magazine tube were on top and the barrel underneath it?
It would frick the aesthetics you’re looking for. The mag tube feed ramp needs to be behind the chamber. So it would end up where the bolt is, and you’d either have to load only when the bolt is open or have a big scoop in the bolt that you can load through and maybe a mutilated dust cover either way. You could make it work if you went from an RPD pattern receiver, but that looks even less like an AK than a Remington 1100 with an AK selector.
yeah, function typical semi auto shotty. it just ak shaped.
I considered auto-5. I really like AKs.
I think i get what your saying. ill adjust things in mspaint, using a semi shotty as ref to share locations.
5 min edit looks better?
I think as long the bolt travels relatively the same should be fine. Smaller Internal stuff can be figured out by kraut space magic engineers.
Honestly I can't tell the differences from your earlier shop.
Also get rid of your mag latch.
I guess what I'm getting at is that anyone who's an AK fan will know that if your upper barrel is aligned with the top of the trunion, that your operation system isn't just AK, even if it borrows receiver geometry. Because if you just assume the bolt carrier is upside down and the gas system is working on a piston that's wrapped around the mag tube (ala 1100), then the bolt carrier is interfering with the trigger mechanism during cycling, and if you go low barrel and top mount magazine, then not only do you need to reload through the top of the bolt carrier, but the loading an ejecting stuff has to happen in the same place (not impossible Browning BPSs do it, but adds complexity, especially at autoloader function speeds, and creates a possibility for unique and horrifying jams).
This is obviously a million years in MS paint, but a triple tube setup would simplify all of your operation concerns, but I understand if that's not the look you want.
gotcha, Ill see what i can do. Gotta make it readable for the artist. Got tons of guns star-wars kitbashed but with cold war guns.
Just Add thin flat piston system on top of the barrel. Add HK style charging handle , you know to HK slap. Tho they might be a bit much lol
Remove the magazine catch (below receiver, under the "F" on the selector markings) as you have a tube mag now and magazines no longer function. No clue how you'd make the lifter, loading gate, and shit work in a Saiga though.
>He is also like 10' tall, the guns scaled to him, don't know what caliber would that be.
...10ga? Maybe you'd be getting into "bore" at that scale. Probably not quite 4 bore though.
Is shouldering an ar pistol buffer tube that bad? Been thinking of getting one from psa for HD. I already keep earpro close.

I can't take this, it's insanity. So many mixed messages. Am I supposed to be angry, or afraid when they're yelling, am I supposed to be relaxed and happy when they're not. I'm going fricking nuts.
> Am I supposed to be angry, or afraid when they're yelling, am I supposed to be relaxed and happy when they're not.
You aren’t supposed to be either.
It’s absolutely not a healthy way to live.
I dunno if you’re the age of majority yet, but if you’ve got a friend or a relative in the area that you can live with in the interim, I would strongly consider telling your family that you’re going to be spending a month away and that if they can’t get it together in a month, that you’re not coming back until they go to family therapy with you.
Or if you have one sibling who’s the constant bad egg, just beat the shit out of them periodically until they figure it out.
>It’s absolutely not a healthy way to live.
I know.
I have zero energy or will to do anything. Not even watching anime seems interesting to me anyway. I don't have the energy to binge eat comfort food even. I just lay in bed staring at the sealing and then I feel bad for doing nothing, but I don't have the desire to do anything.
Leave.
you need a change
move to another state or country and find a girlfriend and do something you like
or become a wet patch when you die alone, nobody fricking cares
stop feeling sorry for yourself
I've been trying to be the opposite of them but all that gets me is my face in the mud and a foot on my back. Move away and start again was the obvious answer, but why would I do that when snapping and killing them sounds such more fun? What like I was of ever capable of living a normal life anyway, if I was cut out for that I would've done it anyway. No, I'm a murderous psychopath just waiting for something to set me off. I live for the day I get to kill them both and finally set the world right when I end myself. After all, the universe would be such a nice place without two scumbags and villain stinking it up.
you've gone fricking insane
Insane? No. You haven't seen the world im living in. It's everyone else who's gone insane. Sure, I could switch worlds, but everything I've ever known and the few things I might hold dear to me exist in here. What makes you think I could just get up and leave even if I wanted to? If I'm insane, then you're all idiots.
If you really care just kick their asses or get them kicked out of the house.
>If you really care just kick their asses or get them kicked out of the house
Oh please, like they wouldn't take their side and throw me in jail. I tried telling them they don't know how to control them and let them get away with anything and they were against me.
pinning the blame on other people and devaluing their efforts will make them mad at you
if you end up in jail at least you'd have beaten your brothers so bloody they can't harm your parents anymore, and you'll be away from them. just make to permanently break their arms or legs if you do so otherwise it's for naught

I don't have a .22 but want something for plinking. The .22 lr NAA mini at 250 bucks isn't far off other handguns and I can use it for backup/deep concealment too, maybe put on some sights even. Thoughts? My issues would be lack of sights, I don't know if I'd want to get the more expensive larger models that come with them, and the fact it's a single action with a short barrel so I can't shoot it in semi or handle pests out of a 1.8" barrel.
Most dysfunctional and abusive people aren't always like that which makes you think they're livable when they aren't acting up. Usual advice of finish school then get a job and try to move out any way distance yourself from them and become a shutin until you can get out might not apply here if it's just your two brothers. Maybe to get your dad to stop being a pussy and threaten to kick them out.
>teeny tiny .22
>single action
>for carry
At that point why not just get a Beretta 21a? They're like ~$100-150 more.
Does anyone know when the next Raspubreastsa starts in Ukraine?
Is it more or less than than 90 days away?
There's a less intense fall period of mud in the autumn but the worst is already over since snowmelt and spring rains are over.
What did Royal Navy sailors eat in colonial times? It must've been something hearty and filling for the backbreaking labor of the sailors that supported an empire who ruled a third of the world.
They would eat all kinds of stuff when they could get it fresh but after enough time at sea it would basically just be salt pork/beef, bully beef and hardtack.
Did they suffer from hypertension?
they would soak the salted meat to get rid of most of the salt
What would they soak it in? If they soaked it in fresh water they would need a lot of barrels and that would be water they could've drank.
Salting meat requires an outrageous amount of salt. They cold probably soak it in seawater and still come out ahead.
>They cold probably soak it in seawater and still come out ahead.
I see, very interesting.
Is there a PrepHole filter for the Ukraine/Russia threads?
God I wish. Ideally there would be a board specifically for weapons discussion, where threads about politics and current events would be considered off-topic, but....
I mostly, follow the Ukraine war through liveuamap and the daily videos posted by the Reporting From Ukraine youtube channel. The youtube channel basically shows small progress of liberated Ukranian territory every other day, while the liveuamap hasn't changed in weeks. Does liveuamap just update slowly, or is the youtube channel overreporting? Or is it just a case of different sources?
Probably just different people having different standards for what is and isn't baseless propaganda.
is tacticalwholesalers.com legit?
Sorry for being depressing, but this was the tab I had open and I needed to type something.
My 16 year old dog is in really bad shape. She has all sorts of issues that have gradually presented themselves over the years as you expect with aging dogs, but I still felt like she had a decent quality of life since she still seemed to be doing the things she enjoyed. Yesterday she stopped eating and drinking despite my best efforts, and she stopped being her (relatively) active self. She was the same today and, unless she does a 180 and perks up tomorrow morning, I think it's time to put her to sleep for her own good. She's sleeping and looking so peaceful, but I just can't sleep.
Anons, take care of your battle buddies and treasure the time you have with them.
>inb4 call a vet, butthole
She just saw the vet a short time ago, and they could see that the end was near with the issues she had. This is not something I'm taking lightly or a knee-jerk response.
I used to get upset over pets dying as a kid, but kinda grew out of it. Toughen up, what good are weapons if you lose sleep over an animal?
Sorry to hear that anon. This isn't something elderly dogs bounce back from. I'm sure you gave her the best life she could have, and you should feel good for that. Another thing to consider is that some vets or other certified parties offer to put dogs to sleep in their own home.
I'd recommend seeing if this option is available to you, because its a much easier way for the dog instead of bringing them to the vet where they know something is up, and the travel/conditions aren't the most comfortable. It's not going to be an easy thing to watch either way.
I wish good luck to the both of you, and may she find peace.
In the end we will all return to where we came from, and although we have no way of knowing where that is or what it looks like, we can guarantee that we will all be together. In meantime, while the present is still certain we can love and comfort each other. 16 years is a long time, If this is particularly rough for you, maybe you should take a day or two off and go visit family in the near future.
I don't get it, why would a dog stop eating and drinking? What's wrong? Don't they want to be with us? Why does everyone have to go?
Old people do it too. It’s a common response of animals that are approaching death.
Come to mention it, that is what my grandfather did. But how come while dogs get to get poked with a night-night needle people have to suffer in the ICU, breathing through an oxygen mask with tubes all in them, and falling in and out of seizures in a dark, quite corner of a hospital?
>people have to suffer in the ICU
That happens when they fail to make their wishes known with a living will. It's a choice. And the same happens to some pets too when their owners can't let go.
What do you think happens after we die
Us? No fricking clue. Dogs go to dog heaven though. They're too pure for this world, and they get to go chase cats and Amazon drivers with their old doggy friends that aren't with us anymore. I like to think we get to see them again when we pass, but I don't know.
>Dogs go to dog heaven though. They're too pure for this world, and they get to go chase cats and Amazon drivers with their old doggy friends that aren't with us anymore.
I like that anon. Thanks
Because tolerating euthanasia for humans starts you down a slippery slope to doctors and nurses badgering half their patients into just fricking off this mortal coil because their illness makes them more trouble than they're perceived to be worth.
Canada is on that route.
I have a Walther model 9 and every time I pull the slide back the trigger gets stuck. I end up having to empty the gun and somehow grab the trigger with my finger nails to pull it back forward. How do I fix?
disassembling a winchester 94 rifle, got a couple of stuck screws, what's a good way to get them out? I also noticed the bolt holding on the stock appears to have some loctite on the threads so I don't know if any of the ones for the action have any on them too.
Kroil or ATF/Acetone, let it sit for a bit, some heat from a hair dryer/heat gun (not torch) is always helpful. 90% of the time the properly sized and scalloped screwdriver will fix you up. If it's still fighting you put the driver in the screw and give it a few taps with a rubber mallet.
Caligay and poorgay student here. My only guns are a Glock 19 and a Benelli Nova Tactical and I kinda feel like the shotgun was a bad decision. My LGS does decent trade deals and has the Magpul backpacker version of the PC Carbine, which seems like a decent option for me since it's reasonably cheap to shoot and uses mags and ammo I already have, and doesn't require hundreds of dollars worth of abomination frickery to be legal here like an AR would.
Think it's worth the swap, or should I just buy a .22 to plink with, keep the scattergun, and wait on a centerfire rifle?
Shotguns are great; are there any trap, skeet, or sporting clays clubs near you?
In any case, PCCs and .22s are delightful, but you shouldn't trade the shotgun for it unless there's something about the Nova that you positively despise.
>are there any trap, skeet, or sporting clays clubs near you?
There are, but an 18" tactical shotgun isn't the tool for the job and while a longer barrel is an option they're stupid expensive, plus I'd have to take my rear ghost ring off the receiver every time I wanted to shoot clays.
The Nova itself is a good gun but has some pretty significant flaws. LoP is a bit long for me and there's no way to fix it because the stock is permanent, there's no good way to mount a light, it only holds 4 in the tube and extensions are both expensive and technically illegal (922r), sidesaddles aren't an option because of the receiver and pump design, and so on. Even if I wanted to stay in the shotgun club I think it'd be cheaper and more effective to just trade the Benelli in on a 590 or something.
That aside, I just really want something to work on rifle marksmanship at the range, the shotgun doesn't help me much there and it's just boring to take out. Maybe a .22 really is the way to go though.
As said, if you have specific gripes with the Nova that make you unlikely to ever shoot it again, and you don't want to stick a flashlight on it and stick it under your bed for HD, my all means flip it toward something you'll actually like.
>there's no good way to mount a light
https://rsregulate.com/product/bm-12/
It's less than ideal but it's probably the least jank option that I'd expect to work on the Nova.
I'm not even sure that'd fit on the Nova, it's got a pretty heavy barrel (probably because it can take 3.5" shells) that tapers all the way down. It'd also end up stupidly far forward. The best option I've seen is to get a mag extension with a barrel clamp that has a rail on it, but that starts getting expensive and honestly I think a handy 9mm PCC might be more suitable for my HD situation than a 12ga anyway. (5.56 would be even better, obviously but not when nerfed into near-uselessness by CA's stupid laws.)
I definitely agree that the Nova should go since you hate it, but I'm skeptical of the idea that 5.56 is a better HD option than 12ga, unless you're extremely recoil-sensitive or you have a 200-yard driveway. #4 buckshot is marginal at "long range" but inside a house it fricks hard while still not plowing through too many layers of drywall.
What's the best non-Bubba way to re-darken the front sight post on an older rifle where the bluing has started rubbing off to prevent glare?
We used picrel on our M16 front sight posts in the .mil but it's not permanent, doesn't look that good and is hard to get if you don't live near a base with an exchange that sells it.
Birchwood Casey sells blue and black pens.

My dick
You can put down a 6'5 man on drugs with your tiny pp? Impressive.
You're damn right I can. Bubba's pissin' hot loads really burn though
Glock 36, maybe?
Has anyone ever smacked a suppressor on something, bent it, shot then got killed by it hitting a baffle ricocheting it back?
Completely uneducated thought, but I would imagine suppressors don't have material thick enough to stop a round from just plowing through it.
