I was not raised with guns, I came into owning firearms by myself. My first gun was a ruger .357 mag. Second was the browning BL-22 lever action rifle (fucking love that rifle). Based on my taste what would /k/ recommend as the next gun I purchase? is there any extra advice you'd like to throw this way?
>>34187927
Do you like to sport shoot, want to defend yourself, want to try trap/skeet? Hunting?
Any laws you have to fit, and what kind of budget?
Those new henry single shots in ant caliber you're into.
>>34187935
I live in California so there I do not have a lot of freedom. I've just been shooting at the range for now. Even guys I've met have been stopped from shooting on their own property, thats how bad it is.
I'm down for all hunting/sport shooting and my budget can handle whatever you think is good
thanks for recommendations!
Is an AR15 pattern rifle really what I'm going to need for innawoods racewar sexy time?
Will 5.56x45 really be the most available rifle round when SHTF?
Is there something else I should have as a backup weapon when the barbarian hordes are battering the gates?
have you considered going back to >>>/pol/ ?
Have you considered a FAMAS?
>Will 5.56x45 really be the most available round when SHTF?
Yes. Your average spic isn't a /k/tard collecting AKs and milsurp. They're just picking what's most popular and what looks the coolest.
>Your given 10 years to form a military that can compete with the British forces stationed on the Falklands.
>You start off with present day Argentina which is absolute shit; no fighters and an under equipped navy with no landing craft.
>You cant buy Grippens (banned), MiG-35s/29s or J-10s and the UK would probably pressure the US into blocking aircraft sales.
Is there any feasible way for the argies to reclaim clay? (inb4 just wait out the British and watch them collapse because Argentina will probably collapse first.)

Shoot myself in the fucking head so my corpse may fertilize the Pampas
>>34187487
Argentina will literally never own those islands. When they tried to take them by force they pretty much assured that the Brits will never even consider handing them over.
It's just out of the question.
Taking the Falklands wouldn't be hard, even with modern argie military capabilities. What you need to focus on is being able to quickly lock the place down with concealed AA and anti-shipping positions. You want air-droppable SAM systems with the range to deal with drones.
What's the best way, cost-wise, to stockpile ammo? There are tons of sites with price-per-ammo listings but most of them have high shipping. Is there some break point, like a couple thousand bucks, where it becomes super efficient?
I see people at gun shows running dollies back and forth cleaning out ammo (especially during the last election lulz). If I can save significant money by waiting for some online sale or gun show or such an opportunity, I'll just be saving up to cash in and grab as many rounds as I can.

>What's the best way, cost-wise, to stockpile ammo?
A time machine for anything surplus. Or hope conflicts calm down, or laws change, and it begins flooding in again. Just don't expect it to be as cheap as it was in the past ever again.
Otherwise, commercial & russian ammo is about as cheap as I'd ever expect it to be. I don't see prices going much lower. If you aren't against using steel, then any common ammo is cheap. Intermediate calibers lean towards 20c/r, full size cartridges lean from 30-40c/r before shipping.
IMO, it IS one of those times to stock up and hedge against future bullshittery that could hit at some point.
>Is there some break point, like a couple thousand bucks, where it becomes super efficient?
Not through normal means where you aren't buying entire pallets tier bulk, because it's already bulk packaged and sold in quantities that don't make shipping extremely expensive. You break a certain weight limit per package, and all of a sudden you start paying a lot extra because it becomes an occupational hazard for the people moving it.

I make 5.56 for about $170/1000.
Buy the 6k count hornady 55 grain box, an 8 pound jug of powder, 5k box of primers, and go grab free brass that tards leave behind and it will be even less.
What is the best way to remove cosmoline /k/?
>>34187199
You don't have to manually remove it, the heat from the firing the gun will evaporate it and clean it off.

kwestion:
Can conversion cylinders for black powder revolvers handle minute smokeless loads?
These revolvers can survive chainfires so why not?
How does smokeless powder burn differently from black powder?
idk anon
Don't even think about it. Not even a pellet.
>>34186509
Black powder explodes, flinging the projectile down the barrel, making a relatively small amount of pressure. Smokeless powder burns, letting off gases which push the bullet out of the gun. The difference in the two is pressure. Smokeless makes a very large amount of pressure. Just stick with black powder anon, you don't want to overload it and blow your hand up.
I've seen Carcano rifles for cheaper than 100 bucks, but the going rate seems to be about $150. Anyone know why?
>>34186449
What. Where the fuck are you finding these you stupid n-word.
>>34186449
Try to find ammo. On the required clips.
>>34186449
Need en blocs clips no one makes anymore, crudely made and makes no attempt to hide it, not really historically interesting at first glance so it doesn't have the charm of the Mosin, action is boring with the exception of the enblocs which is more an annoyance than a feature to the casual shooter, they have a reputation for poor accuracy becasue for a long time the only sporting ammo available was sized wrong, people think it's spooky becasue of the JFK assassination. Also many fudds don't know the internet exists so finding ammo and clips locally can be annoying.
They are good guns but there's a lot of them and demand is low.
So I was going through my grandads things (rip in piece GDaddy) and found a pair of old cowboy guns, which is funny because he's from Ireland.
I've been wanting to get my first pistol, but something that hold more than five rounds in the clip. Does anyone know if I could trade these in for a 40 caliber glock? Or what the difference would be if I can't get $625 for them?
>>34186243

I'm australian and i want to go hunting, so all i can get is a bow. thinking a compound bow but idk, the cheapest here seem to be $300 or so. Any recommendations on what to get?
Ones im thinking of;
apex beserker evolve and
pse stinger x
The apex has a nice looking bundle though im looking to buy one bow that will last me years
Are crossbows not an option in Oz?
>>34186241
not since 2011 for my state at least. I know it really limits me but oh well
Please just go to a bow shop for the love of god. Buying bows cheap online sucks balls; it will basically be a waste of money.
>That urge you get when you have a shitty day at work and you just want to leave everything behind and go join the Legion
Does the FFL get to do cool shit or is it more rock-washing, just in French?
>>34186200
How much do you enjoy barrack rape? And I mean on the bad side of the rape.
>a shitty day at work
Can't be worse than being stripped of your possessions, treated like absolute shit, forced to live in accommodation so bad and communal that they couldn't legally make prisoners live in it, made to be the slave of your superior ranks and government and subjected to harsh and biased military law that's about fucking you over and closing the file ASAP. But go ahead and daydream about becoming a 'real man' or whatever else the fuck by romanticizing the bullshit that is the army, and especially the FFL.
If you can't satisfy yourself outside of environments like that, outside of forced hardship and artificially created achievement then chances are you've either never tried or are a real loser. Get a goal, take up something hard, work to master it. It's a better sense of achievement and is 1000% more productive and beneficial than being in the army, and I'm not talking about video games or some shit like that,talking about something intellectual or physical like weight-lifting or learning engineering. Unless you really just want to join up to (maybe) shoot people. I've been in the infantry when I was a dumb kid who hadn't actually developed into an adult person, I was looking for the same shit out of it that draws in most people and it was all bullshit. Like you I wanted to say fuck it to what was around me and go do 'cool shit'. Don't waste your time.
>>34186255
Eh, I enjoyed my time in. I think it's all how you use it. The worst that you can do is come out a bitter asshole.
Where do you find shooting buddies?
I can't go to the range alone, I tried going to the movie theater a few times by myself and I literally got treated worse than I did on penis inspection day.
Is this supposed to be some sort of Aurora joke? I don't get it.
>>34186199
No there are just some places you can't go to alone. Like I went to the movie theater by myself but the 'no singles' policy isn't like a hard rule they'll still sell you the ticket, they just bully you.
I'm just curious how to make a buddy to punch holes in paper or some cans or something.
