What if someone made a plate carrier/armor set up from hardened leather?
Still had inserts for kevlar and slots for plates, even loops for MOLLE or alice or whatever else.
Would you dig it /k/?

No, it'd be shit. It's bad enough to shoulder guns in heavy winter coats. Stiff leather would be a lot worse.
>>
>>34960876
Hardened leather isn't flexible enough for that and kevlar makes it all pointless.

Maybe if I was expecting to get both shot at and hit with with swords and spears over the course of some event, but that never happens.

What kind of nugget is this. I found it in my great grandfather's barn. 1929 year 5 digit serial number.

By 1929 the Soviets were only making Dragoon-length M91 rifles, and the Finns had switched to the m/27 (which this obviously is not). Since yours still appears to retain its curved Konovalov rear sight I'd guess it is a Soviet M91 Dragoon that was never upgraded to M91/30 spec. Post more pics.

Do you handload your own ammo?
If yes, go .30-06 since you can utilize the extra case capacity.
If no, go .308 since factory ammo is negligible in difference between the two options.

It's fine. Just don't start threads on /k/ saying "I work at a gun store AMA".
It's a fucking retail job, you aren't special or more knowledge than most people here. If it pays your bills, go for it.

Retail is retail is retail is retail. Smaller shops are likely to be easier to deal with as long as your boss isnt a dickbag because they dont have some corporate desk jockey telling them to do stupid shit but most of those places dont just hire off the street. Almost every small family owned gun store ive known is ran by the family and staffed by the family and close friends. Dont expect benefits like good insurance or literally anything. The healthcare system is set up so small businesses will never afford it.
If your looking for retail in a big chain thats not worth the bureaucracy bullshit of retail. Dickbag deskjockey #487634A says you need to hit this quota of bullshit that doesnt matter or your reprimanded. You have to do THIS thing THIS way which makes no fucking sense at all and is fucking retarded because some other desk jokey thought it was a good idea.
Retail fucking sucks.

Just started watching the new "Shooter" show because I enjoyed the book. Within the first 10 minutes of the first episode, Swagger tells 2 hunters that .223 can barely take squirrel. The hunter pulls out a Beretta 92 and talks about stopping power. Quickly closed the tab after that.
Why can't any shows or movies (especially based around firearms) ever do 10 minutes of research of consult an expert? Even the shitty 2007 Wahlberg shooter movie did better.

They literally said that? I never clicked it because I think any TV show based off a movie is doomed for failure.
Also the Marky Mark flick ain't half bad. He Snipes dudes with .22 and a DIY silencer.

What's the proper way to draw a pistol? Most instructors nowadays say to thrust it forward, but the old Army instruction videos say to raise it to eye level from the low ready. The argument is that thrusting forward can cause the barrel to dip when the arm reaches full extension.

That's what I thought. I tend to make a curved motion with my arm as I progressively raise it higher as the arm gets closer to full extension.

Mr Obama was comparatively restrained – his Oval Office featured the Stars and Stripes, and the navy-coloured flag of the US president.
By contrast, Mr Trump has at least four Stars and Stripes; the presidential flag; and the flags of the army, marines, navy, coast guard and air force.
What the hell is he planning?

I doubt it. Soldiers are often the most ignorant shooters after fudds. You know why people don't know the difference between a clip and a magazine? It's because of semi-literate conscripts from WW2. The same can be said of the mispronunciation of Garand.
