Afternoon, /k/,
Whilst perusing the Internet, I'm seriously considering building my own AR or 1911 one of these days, sharpish. Of course, I could always just buy one from a FFL, but as someone pursuing gun-smithing, I'm always looking to increase my experience.
My thoughts are, as follows:
>Are there more eighty-percent kits in circulation other than the ubiquitous AR or 1911 platforms?
>What's the best course of action to keep expenses (i.e. capital, time, agro, et. al.), as low as realistically possible?
>Experience with specialty "jigs" and which are the best ones available.
As always, any thoughts, observations, and experience with this is greatly appreciated (shit-posts optional yet acceptable).

There are 80% Glock lowers and a few other things running around.
If you want to keep costs down just buy a regular gun. 80% are for clueless faggots who use terms like ghost gun and hobbyists who don't care about costs and are looking for excuses to acquire new tools and toys.

>What's the best course of action to keep expenses (i.e. capital, time, agro, et. al.), as low as realistically possible?
Have access to a machine shop.
Otherwise there is literally no reason to buy 80%s
>>34544324
other guns with 80s are glocks, 10/22s, and aks. the thing about an 80 is you have to be able to get the rest of the parts. you are not going to find an 80 luger or something.
from a cost standpoint it is not worth it at all. the reason people do 80 is, its illegal to buy legally, muh ghostgun, or shits and giggles where you did it to do it and dont care that you spent 3times more than just buying one.
jigs are reccomended but not required. if you have a machine shop with a mill you dont need it. think of a jig like a template if you have it and follow instructions you cant fuck up. if you have no jig but can measure you can make something functional but it will be ugly as fuck or fucked up in 1 area where you got careless. a jig is simply a way to hold the part.
additionally 80 1911s are stupid as fuck since its an aluminum frame. if you are going to waste time building a 1911 do it properly.

This one, preferably in your hand moments before you made this thread.

Man kan säga att k och 4chan överlag har sjunkit i kvalitet, men majoriteten av trådarna är rätt ok. Du får snabba svar angående de vanligaste vapenmodellerna och skojiga diskussioner om allt möjligt. Skogstrådarna är mina favoriter.

What impractical/unsafe gun things from tv/movies/games have you always wanted to do?
Pic very related, would be lucky not to shoot self after breaking my fingers.
Flicking the cylinder closed on every DA revolver every time I load it.

Ahnuld nearly broke his when he tried to do the same a in a version of this gun that didn't have the enlarged lever.

I really want a luger p08 9mm for shooting. What sort of inspection items should I look for if I get the chance to fingerfuck one? I'm really worried that I'll buy one and find it's not in working order or it's in 7.65, not 9mm
What should I look for to keep myself from getting swindled, /k/?

ITT: ask and answer questions about PGO shotguns.
They're legal on the federal level, but what about the state level?
I plan on getting myself one and want to make sure I'm in the clear before I do buy it.
As for specifics, I'm 19, own a green card and live in MD.

FUGOFF GIBS ME MUH JERBS BACK
Shameless job-stealing bump.
>>34543827
where are you from, mr.job thief?
also what kind of PGO where you looking for?
>a Legal shotgun that has a pistol grip?(18" barrel and 26" OAL)
>a Short barrel shotgun?(any shotgun with a barrel cutdown less than 18")
>A legal firearm?(like the mossberg shockwave, which is 26" OAL but has a barrel shorter than 18")
If you are 19 you can only buy option 1.
after in looking into Maryland state laws, that is all irrelevant.
you cant own shit nigga.

My Ithaca model 37 PGO.
I recently put a full stock back on it though.
Does /k/ like bows and archery, I never see threads here.
Archery thread?ARCHERY THREAD
>>34543045
A proper bow setup is more than most of /k/ is willing to spend on guns let alone something that doesn't go bang.
I'm about 1,700 USD in on the bow I've had for the past decade. Including arrows, broad heads, strings, cams, releases, tuning, and all that jazz.
>>34543045
Archery threads never get enough love, since we're on the topic what would be a good quality bow for a 98 pound 5' girl?
Eh. I've never really felt the need to get one myself. Guns work really well, you know?
They're pretty cool though, probably in the same category as muzzle loaders for most of us.
An open-bolt blowback submachine gun is so simply made. Why did it take til 1918 to make the first one?
>>34543023
Because the prevailing military doctrine of the time didn't want it. Generals wanted to maximize the range of each individual solider, and this meant bolt actions with huge .30 or .40 caliber rounds. This worked well with their pre-modern battlefield tactics, which WW1 made obsolete in 1918. When that happened, generals realized they needed to give soldiers a way to spray a lot of bullets in a small space in a short amount of time. This is the genesis of SMGs.
Additionally it should be said that another weapon, the pump-action shotgun, proved equally devastating in this role because while tube mag guns are a pain to reload a shooter could pump off 8+ shots while someone armed with a bolt action would still be second or third turn. It goes to demonstrate how important ergonomics are (pump vs bolt).
>>34543023
Automatic weapons are tricky to get just right and metal stamping was a very recent invention, so almost all weapons were still milled. Production lines take time to set up and then you're taking materials away from other line just as or more important. There were automatic weapons that used pistol calibers before the MP 18 (pic related), but the MP 18 was the the first one to nail the concept.

Usually, a fence means "keep out".
My municipality has a fence just like that around our one reservoir.
Did tikka discontinue the t3x lite stainless?
I can't seem to find it on their website and I didn't see anyone talking about its discontinuation.
I thought i saw one looking for a 308 win t3x. Tikkas weird. In 6.5 creedmoor ive never seen a light, they are all CTRs and the barrels are usually threaded while in 308 win almost all the t3x's are lites and none have threaded barrels.
Annoying as fuck, especially considering the only reason to buy a 308 over a creedmoor is to load subsonic and put a can on. I stilll cant believe how quiet that shit is.
>>34542846
Wtf. I was just looking at their site last night. Do you see the Lite Adjustable or Superlite anywhere?
So why is lel-tec the most innovative gun company out there? They seem to be the only company that's interested in constantly coming up with interesting new guns. Meanwhile, the rest of the industry is just full of glock clones/ARs and various fuddshit that has existed since forever.
>muh innovation meme
Stale as fuck
Knowing /k/ you'll still get some (you)s
Kel-Tec is pretty choice. Finally found an RDB in stock for a decent price. I'm going to pick it up before work. As a southpaw, it's nice to know some gun manufacturers are looking out.
>>34542766
You're a pretty spectacular douche, you know that?
Do you carry an extra mag / magazines with ccw? Why?
Yes, because having 32 rounds is better than 16.

Yes, because I fucking want to. Why the hell wouldn't you?
