Do any of you guys have bad eyesight and how do you deal with it?
Basically I'm near-sighted and need glasses to drive. What I just found out (new shooter) is my glasses make me kind of far-sighted, and my iron sights blurry, so seeing far doesn't even matter. They also don't fit under my ballistic glasses. Looking down the sights in a 'real world' situation where there are a bunch of objects and colours in the 'scene' makes it hard to find my blurry sights. I don't know.
I suppose I'll just have to deal with it and go without my glasses, or get surgery. I tried popping my right lens out and it kind of worked I guess, too weird though.

Practice, you'll get better at picking the sights out of a busy background with time, provided your glasses don't make it impossible (not just hard) to focus on the front sight. Red dot sights can also help since the dot will appear in the same "plane" as your target, and you can buy prescription inserts for some brands of ballistic glasses if you insist on using them (I don't).

I have terrible eyesight, and throughout the years have evolved into quite the marksman. I shoot with both eyes open and have sort of learned to focus one eye on my sights and the other on my target. No idea how I did it, just human evolution and being at the range every chance I got.
Thoughts?
It is really cool. I wonder what bullets to buy and what target to shoot them at for recreating it.

That's almost certainly Federal HST shot at either water or ballistics gel.

Go well with the murder/k/ube and the /k/nife angel.
I am looking for my first long gun and have it narrowed down to SKS in a tacticool stock (either the bullpup or something with collapsing stock and rails) a wasr or npap with tacticool stock, or a vz2008. I want the VZ but adding a side mounted optic rail is hard.
I don't want a AR, I carried a M16A4 for five year (albeit POG) and I'm bored of that round.
any advice/suggestions?
What round do you want to shoot, how much are you willing to spend, and what platform do you want to shoot that round in?
>>33264790
Are you in Canada?

7.62x39
$6-700 before accessory's
idk what platform. I was told AR15s in 7.62 are unreliable

How could this be made into an effective weapon?
>>33264349
A guidance system that was actually accurate, fuel that isn't ridiculously dangerous to the user and a more mobile launch system.
>>33264349
Using the metal on more trucks to move supplies.

A friendly 1911 thread.
Post your 1911s, discuss 1911s, talk about the parts inside of it, if you fit them yourself or not, make judgments about the personality of other 1911 owners, etc.
Posting one of mine. SA Mil-spec with Harrison ignition and Ed Brown trigger and other shit. Got it as a project gun to learn how to fit parts. Fuck, filing the safety was a pain.
>>33264257
Neat, 1911 thread. Building mine from a Sarco dual-serrated parts kit and a Fusion frame, probably going to swap in a Wilson spring kit, extractor, and magazine, and a Fusion K-hole trigger.
Any tips going into this build on how to do it right? Critical areas that need work, etc. Barrel is pre-throated but I will polish the hell out of the feed ramp.
>>33264274
>Sarco
My nigga. I back ordered a parts kit and a few days later, they charged my card and didn't tell me what was going on. Was gonna call them and ask what the fuck when FedEx rang the doorbell and handed me a box of parts.
Working on an 80% frame from Stealth arms, gonna Cerakote it black to match the parts kit. Already got a couple Wilson mags since I wasn't impressed with the one that came from Sarco.
>>33264373
Nice. Been thinking of doing an 80% frame but I'm not sure I can do a good job without heavier equipment - currently have a Foredom flex-shaft grinder that accepts up to 1/4" inserts as well as some hand tools. I have a drill press, but I wouldn't trust it for anything precise.
Daily reminder that any rifle chambered in a cartridge smaller than 7.62 NATO is pretty much a toy and only any good for plinking.

I like it but feel that the blue color kinda takes away from it as an non-LEO. I'd consider getting something in the same pattern in a more neutral brown or green.

Has there ever been a successful vigilante?
Ever? In the 10,000 year history of humanity, has there at least been one?
>>33264134
Julius Caesar
What is successful? What is a vigilante?
If you're just talking about people who broke the law while doing something for their own perceived ethical good, then not getting caught, then there's probably been millions. Tens of millions.
Has a vigilante successfully quelled crime in their area?
How exactly do private sales work if I live in IL?
My girlfriend is legally a FL resident, but lives in IL with me. She's 19 and wants to buy her first handgun, but federal law prohibits FFL dealers from selling handguns to people under 21.
However, it would still be legal for her to possess a handgun at her age if she obtained it from a private sale. The problem is that IL law prohibits me from making a private sale to anyone who is ineligible for a FOID, such as someone like her with legal residence in another state.
How do I beat the ATF Jew, /k/? Could we go to a gun show out of a state and just have her buy a gun there?
>>33264011
you dont
its illegal to buy a handgun as non resident of that state
its illegal for her to get one from a ffl cause shes underage
the only way shes getting it is if she flys back to florida and gets her parents to gift her one
>>33264011
>asking how to break the law
>how do i beat the _____ jew

>>33264011
Wew. This is illegal on so any levels.
I came across a pretty rare Auto 5 the other day. An authentic FN Belgian from the 60s with pristine wood and scrollwork that even I've never seen. The barrel surprisingly has the vent rib, uncommon for these guns.
Here's the kicker. No import marks and matching numbers.
And then I put it in a band saw.

Beauty makes up for matching parts for some.
Or just having it makes up for beauty or matching parts
It is your personal taste. If the price is good and it looks good go for it
