I just got my Beretta 1301 in, and it's my first semi-auto shotgun. I'm just learning now that apparently, it's common for yuropoid semi-autos to not cycle a new round into the chamber when you manually run the charging handle. This is cool for single-loading shells with rounds still in the tube, but what's the protocol here if I have a light primer strike or something like that? How do you clear a malfunction if the gun won't pick up a new round?
Is there a legitimate reason the 5 on the coin is flipped?
lead solo pilot (pilot #5) spends most of his time upside down during demonstrations.
It's fully intentional.
Very cool, thanks!
>insert girlfriend joke>
I’ve had the old label created delays a couple times but usually real speedy. Especially buying off their GB listings.
Is there a European country with no laws on gun magazines? I need a 22lr drum mag but they're banned in my country
Portugal
Germany and Czechia don't consider .22 magazines to be restricted in any way.
Luxembourg
The UK was good for that before they left the EU
I always liked the UK but I heard they were the biggest ones pushing for EU gun laws so I'm glad they they are out for now.
And yet we still have the D*tch
I still have four SLR mags I bought from the UK in regular use
Poland don't give a shit about mags.
Month ago i mag dumped a180 that some dude brought to my club.
Shit was so cash.
>No sgg thread yet and am interested if anyone has any experience with shotguns that im gunning for.
shotguns that interest me: I want a lightweight (under 6.6 lbs which is 3kg shotgun ) which is as short as possible with interchangable chokes , preferably in sub 12 gauge calibers because ammo weighs less and i can pack more water and tea and shit. I hunt in a very mountanious terrain with a shit ton of bushes, brush, stubby /, short,/ smoll, treeswith temperature inversion (temp can vary from freezing my balls off to scorching hot from morning till noon, so packing extra clothes and a way to strap them on when it gets hot is must, btw )and carrying a long , standard weight 12 gauge is not pleasurable at all , flat fields? No problems , but climbing a fairly steep mountain with loose rocks and roots, and vegetation tripping you the entire way, and bushes getting caught on everything from straps, to belts, to slings , barrels, hats, shoelaces , pockets is miserable with a normally sized shotgun and a bunch of 12 gauge ammo (hunting woodcocks mostly) .
1st>Tristar 410 semi /aka armsan since armsan makes tristar semishotties(i can not get a remington 1100),
2nd a 410 pump will also be sufficient (cant get a mossberg or remington and bps is a bit heavy for a 410, and is too long for where i hunt )
Options are armsan or hatsan 410 pump or
Is franchy affinity 20 gauge any good
Also browning a5 seems light enough but it seems too long .
Benelli ultralight 28 uses unobtanium ammo but a 20 g might be ok
I would prefer a 410
Does anyone have any experience with any of those?
What caliber do I need to kill Todd Howard
you'll need something that just works.
a Lucky .38
Just a big iron on your hip.

how much do recoil pads actually help? considering one for my very light 12ga. at around 40 or so rounds it is just not fun to shoot
They absolutely help. I like the Pachmayr no. 325.
thanks. How do you actually install it? I get that you grind it down to fit, but where do the screws go, considering there's no holes on the rear? Do you just punch the holes yourself?
>Do you just punch the holes yourself?
Yes. You cut tiny little slits and insert the screws, the rubber closes up afterwards and you can't see the holes. There are a couple good videos up on Youtube by Larry Potterfield / Midway USA.
thank you anon
>but what's the protocol here if I have a light primer strike
the action to open the tube to feed a new shell is caused by you pulling the trigger. if you pull the trigger and nothing happens, just manually charge the gun and it should spit out the malf'd shell and feed the new one.
Got it, thanks anon
There's also a button on the cartridge latch at the base of where the lifter sits in the receiver
Can you install a muzzle device such as a break or blast can on a mini 14 ranch rifle?
Also, is it worth getting an accustrut on the new models?
If it's a Tactical model it has barrel threading so yes. If a regular Ranch, no but it's possible to have the barrel cut and threaded with some gunsmithing although it involves setting the front sight back. There are pin on muzzle devices as well but they're typically for the old thin barrel models.
As far as accu strut, it's really not necessary on new models because the design, tooling and quality have improved. It's useful on old models.
They do help. Install one and see if it's sufficient. It's not like they are exorbitantly expensive.
5.5mm Velo-Dog, accept no substitute.
Ugh, thats too bad.
Gunsmithing is insanely expensive near me. I shit you not its 250 per hour to work on a rifle regardless of whats being done. I asked about cerakoting and he quoted me 600 with an additional 125 disassembly/reassembly fee for a ruger mk2.
This is a Marlin .22 trigger. Not my pic but I have the same gun. On mine, with the bolt installed and cocked, the sear alone cannot hold the striker back. The front of the sear is held up by the notch on the front of the trigger. The back of the trigger looks like it's designed to push up on the back of the sear, but the striker has already fallen before the trigger travels this far. Is this how it's supposed to work? Or is there something wrong with my striker and sear engagement?
How long has Optics Planet been so dogshit?
I've used them a handful of times in the past and had no issues compared to any other online retailer, until fucking now, and i guess they do this shit all the time
>last thursday night
>buying new optic and need/want specific height rings as well
>Optics Planet has it ''in stock" and the optic along with a few other online stores but this has a coupon too! basically a coupon that makes the rings free after it all and shipping
>next morning its asking for a type of verification on the order to confirm it
>"alright cool glad they are being safe with my money i guess it was a several hundred dollar purchase" Call and deal with that
>suddenly the scope is backorder in the order processing 'fair enough, maybe i ordered it at the same time as a few others, only a few were left when i did
>cancel that part of the order and keep the scope rings, Just get the scope through Primary Arms Themselves
>Scope Rings "awaiting pickup" on Friday
> "alright fair enough i changed the order
>order something ELSE through Optics Planet, a Muzzle Brake
>Scope Rings "awaiting pickup" on Monday
>Brake has shipped
>Primary Arms already delivered my scope for the same price of shipping i did for O.P.
>Scope Rings "awaiting pickup" on Tuesday
What the fucking Christ. I've seen several people post very similar things, basically i guess their trick is just fucking create the label and wait the factory sends you the backorder shit, and then ship it.
I wouldn't be so fucking miffed if i wasn't paying for shipping When did this horseshit start? Anyone else have similar bullshit with them?
sorry i should add that the specific rings are also now out of stock.
And that additionally people have the same experience of seeing things 'in stock' until after they buy it, and they charge, oh and also they did still charge me for the scope rings they haven't even sent, as far as i can tell
>When did this horseshit start? Anyone else have similar bullshit with them?
at least a decade ago optics planet and botach are shit
yeah these cocksniffs are never getting my money again. The fact they managed to one order normally, correctly in between me finding out about this is insane how they can be that backwards. It has to be like illegal to charge for something you can't ship and don't have right?
That's called dropshipping, it's very common for less serious businesses as there's no monetary risk when you'll never have stock you can't sell and you don't need to pay for space in a warehouse.
If things go to tits up and you can't provide your customers just close up shop and start up again with a new website and a new name lmao.
How can I find cheap 308 ammo to practice with that will be similar trajectory to my hunting ammo?
what hunting ammo do you use
Barnes ttsx
I accidently bought some 45+P ammo. I don't think the store can buy it back. Should I just wait for a local gun show and trade it for some different ammo?
Why? Is your gun not rated for .45 ACP +P?
I don't think it is
Springfield 1911 silent operator
Should be. +P isn’t magical.
>This is cool for single-loading shells with rounds still in the tube, but what's the protocol here if I have a light primer strike or something like that? How do you clear a malfunction if the gun won't pick up a new round?
It will pick a new round after hammer has been dropped (trigger has been pressed).
Bought a stun gun bc hehe brrt, is it worth carrying something like thos in addition to my gun?
no
no. get pepper spray instead. there are plenty of instances where its a good idea to pepper spray someone but could be legally questionable to shoot them. Stun guns like that are often very ineffective at delivering enough pain to deter someone, while also needing you to be in contact distance with that person. Also pom canisters are like 15 bucks
The pulling the trigger will also drop a new round onto the lifter, regardless if the round fires.
So simply racking the bolt will extract the faulty round and insert the new.
The benefit of this sytem is that it makes the shotgun very easy to make safe and keep the chamber empty.
Should I be zeroing at 25 yards instead of 50 with a reticle like this or is my choice of target insufficient? I can barely even see a B8 target although I've managed to get all shots within the 4" dark part of the circle. The gun's a P90 with a ring sight
Just got my first handgun and it's a Glock 19C. Should I have gotten the non ported version since I want to use it as my carry?
Yeah, can you try and trade it?
ported is a weird choice but i really doubt there is enough difference to justify getting a new gun
What's an okay-ish quality, fairly cheap red dot sight and flashlight I can mount on this bad boy?
TRS-25 and a Streamlight of some kind
>Turkish
Just get the cheapest thing you can find on Amazon. There's no point investing any more than that
Hey, just swinging by to let you know that I do not care for the janitors of this board and frankly they can lick every singly hair follicle on my nut sack. Thank you.
Would you suck a cock for a Ruger security 9? That's like a $300 blowjob. I wouldn't pay me $300 for a blowjob. Is this a good deal?
Mil guys, how do you do your bed in the barracks? I'll be going there soon and i don't wanna look like a total fool.
They teach you. Don’t worry in basic, no matter how you do it, it’s wrong.
When you get to your permanent unit, any random barracks inspections are not going to be giving a fuck about your made bed corners. Permanent unit random inspections are looking for drugs, guns, whores, and people living in a layer of filth in their rooms.
What caliber should I choose when I inevitably blow my head off? I have a good selection to choose from, and right now I'm leaning towards 45/70 or 308.
Why?
Eh, why not? This worlds fucked
Not a bad choice and I have that available.
Based and fuddlore pilled.
>Eh, why not? This worlds fucked
what a gay pussy
Thanks for the encouragement anon. I'll put you in my suicide note.
Idk what to say but please don't. Is there any way to i can help you or comfort you?
ahh, so you are an attention whore.
>wahhhh wahhhhh everything's fucked I'm such a sugma-male-core-grindsetter
real advice: get off the internet, it'd save everyone the burden of your whining.
45/70 soft point
22lr, it will bounce around your skull and turn your brain to mush
I need that image of a Ratte where a whole society is living in it.
>30 rounds standard for AR mags for half a century
>20 rounds still standard for .223 boxes
Why is Big Ammo like this? Almost makes me think states with ten round mags are on to something.
I want to "modernize" my draco. I have a fixed stock trunnion and sight rail riveted on it, and I'm looking into buying some handgaurds for it. Was looking at the jmac mms, midwest industries alpha, or slr rifleworks rails. Any input is greatly appreciated.
Is 500 for a Beretta apx a good deal?
Only for the APXA1 tactical with threaded barrel, 3 20 rounders, and suppressor height sights. I saw them around 450.
Beretta has a 100 dollar rebate until the end of the year for the APX. One of the best deals in guns right now

>Three guys yelling commands to dogs
"This is officer <insert name> of <local PD> are you alright?"
Literally what happened is that a bear was smacked by a car and was wounded, authorities were alerted to it and they tracked a wounded bear which coincidentally came to our campsite.
There was a middle aged police officer, two younger hunters with him, who kept rushing after the bear, while the officer made sure we were alright.
>the shots we heard were aimed straight to the air to scare the bear away from us
The hunters and the police officer convinced me I need a firearm.
I never want to be in that situation again, unarmed.
What does PrepHole recommend for a budget anon?
A shotgun?
How budget is budget? You can get a used Mossberg 500 for like $300 or $400. Will be heavy for backpacking, but just fine for normal camping. Works for home defence just fine as well. Has the ability to shoot a multitude of ammo including slugs for bear making it versatile.
If you plan on carrying in day to day life after this look into handguns and lurk or do your own research. There is a lot that goes into selecting a handgun that is a good fit for whatever your intentions are.
A pistol caliber carbine would be light, handy, and great for backpacking or camping while still having some power. I wouldn't trust it for bear defense though, but it would be a nice option in the home.
Cheap ar15 is a fun starting point if you want to go that direction. Great at home, ok camping and backpacking, and loaded correctly could be viable for bear defense.
Oh I thought my budget was small, 2800$ Its going to be my very first gun.
I want it for general home defence and to take out with me during camping. I dont intend to carry it on me or conceal carry.
I dont know much about firearms, so I'll look into that mossberg 500.
You can get a lot done with $2,800. Just done forget to account for ammo, cleaning equipment, a sling, and a light if you want it for the house. A .22lr handgun and a 12 gauge shotgun can handle anything you want to do in the outdoors in my opinion.
do you think pump action or semi-auto is better for a beginner?
And thank you for answering my questions Anon, I really appreciate it
Idk if any other anons want to chime in, I dont have experience with a semi shot gun. I use my pump for hunting, shooting clays, and just general shotgun business which I think pumps excel at.4
Semis can have reliability issues as the different types of shotgun loads operate at various different pressures and some dont always cycle the firearm. That and they are just a little more complicated in terms of parts. So long as you train and understand the manual of arms for your gun you will be fine either way..
Excluding people who never, ever go to the range, how often would you say the average gun owner goes to the range? Or what about the average CCWer?
Which one is more operator?
The plastic one, f-91w, jihad approved gear.
For ccw purposes, is the mossberg MC2C reasonable? For the price it’s attractive
Or should I just go for the Glock 19/G43x with s15 mags?
Is shooting birdshot out of a muzzle loading rifle a bad idea?
I was going to ask PrepHole but I figure I'd ask here too. I want to make a light-up target. The concept is simple; behind the paper target is are two sheets of aluminum foil separated by another sheet of paper. They act as a capacitor, and when the bullet passes through it gets shorted, causing a light to switch on until you switch it back off.
I don't know electronics well enough to make it myself, but I figure it'd be a pretty simple circuit.
There's a product that does what you're thinking of. It attaches to the back of a metal target and lights up when it detects a vibration.
That sounds more expensive and susceptible to wind.
