sup /k/. i bought a Sino Soviet SKS and i cant make it through a mag without it stovepiping. it first i thought it was the feed lips, maybe they were too wide, then i thought it was the mag spring, possibly it was worn out and too weak. but i read on an SKS owners forum that the rifle may be short-stroking.
so my question is how far should the gas piston extend out the end of the gas tube? pic related, mine extends exactly 29.5mm
heres a pic of a malfunction. i wish i had more pics

Yall boys ready for the first war fought in a chemical and nuclear environment?

Cool
yes
Daily reminder the norks are subhuman ant people and the first thing they will do is use chemical weapons as area denial and we will have to use nuclear weapons on the border to take out the artillery that will be in the process of leveling a megacity.
>.40 is too snappy, the FBI switched to 9mm for a reason...there is no ballistic difference between the two...in fact, 9mm is ballistically superior to .40!
>.40 is too weak...lol .40 short and weak, am I right...the FBI originally intended to use a real man's caliber like 10mm, and you should too!
>/k/ is one person and only ever says these specific things
I will attempt to defend both points!
10mm was initially adopted because the conclusion the FBI reached was that they didn't have enough penetrating and stopping power per shot
However, they found significant marksmanship issues with 10mm, particularly in high fire rate exercises
So they invented .40 to try and keep some of that 10mm stoppan power, yet still more lethal (on some arbitrary metric) than 9mm
Let's not forget that bullet design and metallurgy was still just starting to figure out how to make really good quality hollow point bullets back then
Over the last 30 years it's become very clear that shot placement and number of well placed shots matters most
Nowadays, .40 is too snappy to compete with 9mm as far as accurate consistent follow up shots go, and too weak to really be notable as a big guy tough cartridge like full power 10mm
I've never noticed the "snappy" meme when shooting my .40 caliber HKs.

>I think any range that's operating... any private or public range... should have a competency test in order to use
I wonder what kind of idiot gives these two e-beggars money on patreon?
>>34311609
A competency test? That's kinda dumb. Some kind of screening? Whatever. I went to a public range that made you watch a safety video if it was your first time there. It took like 5 minutes.
There's a better way to spin this: every range has rules. It's not unreasonable for a range to have shooters show that they have observed the rules before using the range. Depending on where you're at, and your clientele, different degrees of trust are required to ensure that you aren't faced with the consequences of having a liability on premise.

>A competency test?
it's straight outta our european gun laws book. I need to pay an FFL 100€ every 5 years to shoot 10rds under his supervision to get his stamp on a piece of paper that I then mail in to my ministry of the interior to be able to keep a gun at home for HD. JUST. Ian is just a closeted I'm better then you liberal.

on the 92a1, besides the slide, frame, and recoil spring assembly being different and incompatible with the original 92FS, are there any other parts that aren't interchangeable?
I want to get a D spring, metal trigger, and extended mag release for the 92a1.

That is the worst drawn mosin I have ever seen
If I were to make a crossbow out of a leafspring and steel cable, would I be better off using crimping eyelets for the cable or cable crimps and putting the wire through a hole?

The grill or the rifle? I like the grill personally.
This is Hadas Malka. She was an Israeli Border Police officer.
3 days ago she was attacked by 3 Arabs armed with knives and AK-47's. She died, taking 2 of her attackers with her while a 3rd was later killed by another police officer
Does this demonstrate that women can be effective soldiers/police?

Cherry Picking, no.
wtf I love women in combat roles now

Yes, but seriously don't break the law while visiting a brutal dictatorship.
Why are law enforcement agencies so worried about people who did drugs years ago?
Even the smallest rural agencies seem to polygraph these days.
Federal agencies that require a college degree like Border Patrol automatically disqualify if you've ever done a drug harder than marijuana.l and then polygraph on it.
It's insane someone can do cocaine in college in the early 2000s and still be DQd

Any of the threads on /k/ at any point ever
Anti-gun manager fired me today, anyone else had to deal with discrimination because of being a gun owner?
If he fired you for owning guns you were an obnoxious moron likely shoving it in his face just for a reaction. If he fired you legitimately just for owning or liking guns you can probably get them for wrongful termination and sue. Either way this is a stupid thread.
Return to your workplace, and this time you bring your AR with you.
