canacuck here, wanting a .308 for a bear gun
The norinco m305 is looking pretty lewd for the price we can get it up here at about $600. Is it worth picking up or is it a shitty gun?

>>34325209
>would buying an old used police shotgun (like an old 870) be a viable home defense shotgun?

As long as your 870 doesn't suffer from QC issues, it is viable. Any sort of shotgun whether it be 20ga or 12ga is acceptable for home defense, just select a good #1 buckshot or 00 buckshot load that works best in your gun.

Measure the longest distance in your home and then pattern your shotgun at the range, learning what is the exact spread at 3,5,7,10,14, yards. You do not neccesarily need a high speed low drag shotgun for home defense, one thing I may argue for having is a weapon mounted light.

>>34324930

That's by design. Keeps the action from opening while firing. Otherwise slight that slight rearward pressure would cost you a hand/face.

Now that MRAPs are being given away for free and we're going with the JLTV, what will the mechanized Army look like after 2020 or so?

>>34326302
It was imported to relieve pressure on the shortage during the Sandy Hook panic. No reason to keep importing it once supply is stabilized and domestic manufacturers need to sell their Hillary panic stash.

Part of the reason why it was so cheap is because the AU$ is fucking shit compared to US$ and CA$, and it was likely taking up warehouse space in Australia. They probably cleared it out at rock bottom prices for the US export market.

Unfortunately, you're not getting any more without a time machine. Try Prvi Partizan or Fiocchi, or start reloading yourself.

>>34326621

As the other guy said Privi Partizan is notoriously accurate for the price and seemingly mundane packaging. It's your best bet unless you want to crank out fat stacks for real deal match ammo.

It's a .223 case and the marks are uniform all the way around. Neck is also dented

>>34327695
>A-All shotties can shoot slugs, r-right?
Sort of. If they're rifled foster slugs, they're meant to be shot out of a smooth bore since the slug itself has the rifling on them.

If they are a sabot slug, they are meant to be shot out of a rifled barrel like a...rifle.
Generally if you want a shot gun for shot, get a smooth bore since a rifled barrel will make shot spread like crazy.
A lot of people have both barrels and deer hunt with sabot slugs.

>>34327695
Probably a section for designated slug shotguns. They typically have rifle style sights for long range shooting and and a vent rib barrel, usually ported to vent gas. Also includes rifled shotguns which are the only ones compatible for sabot slugs.

>>34327799
Somebody was probably shooting it way farther down than where you were looking and that was likely a stray. They will honestly chunk brass 15-25 yards without issue if they are un-impeded

>>34327796
It takes more than energy to kill a bear. .45-70 has a flat nose for deeper, straighter penetration while the heavier bullet weight resists change in motion, ensuring it won't get sent astray if it hits brush/bone. .308 on the other hand is fast the spitzer tip is going to curve off as soon as it hits. It has a lower overall frontal surface area meaning it'll destroy less tissue along the way.

Would a 12 gauge slug be a good choice, then?

>>34328028
Some of the harder ones like the Brenneke lineup are good for bear but the softer traditional foster slugs are too soft and have poor sectional density due to their shape for use beyond beyond black bear.

>>34328067

Not the anon you were responding to, but what about one of those fantastic meme rifles like the Nemo Omen or Noreen bn36 in 300wm. That has to be fairly ideal, plus you could use it as your primary hunting rifle, no need for 2 at that point.

There was a thread up the other day of a guy out hunting abd got charged by a massive grizzly bear, and he put 8 or so 7mm rem mag rounds into it, stopping it a few feet from where he stood.

>>34328243
That oughta crack a skull but otherwise it's not a guaranteed one shot kill. People have done bear autopsies and found .308s lodged in the brain of bears that were otherwise fully alive and functional. I think a 300 Win Mag will do the job and it's certainly got some range to it but you absolutely must be prepared to shoot again.

>>34328308

Not him but could you kill a black bear with say 40 rounds of 5.56 55 grain ball?

My parents live inna Appalachia and I'm sacred shitless of my mom getting attacked by a black bear and I want to get a gun that a 65 year old woman can handle but it'll kill a bear dead

>>34328356
People kill black bear with .357s all the time. It's not super reliable or safe for the shooter but it works. Black bears are kinda wimpy and prefer to flee if they can, things like grizzlies are the fucking worst though. A full mag of 5.56 would do the trick for sure but I'm not so convinced on using 55gr bullets.

What has k found that works well for removing cosmoline? Also what is a good way of removing a finish on an older gun that has rust without damaging it.

>>34329297
Boil non-spring metals to remove cosmoline, not so sure about other materials. Removing bluing from a gun is easy because bluing is just a type of rust that looks good, I douse mine in a strong penetrating oil such as Kroil, that shit eats the bluing off your gun real fast.

What swords would Major Generals of the CSA carry in the American Civil War? Are there any reference images?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Cleburne

Purchased a Ruger LCP II and currently waiting for it to be shipped to my FFL.

while browning the manual to learn how to field strip it I noticed that they don't reccommend that you carry with a loaded chamber. While normally I would simply chalk that up to Ruger being Ruger. I did notice that the gun does not have a firing pin block or a drop safe mechanism. That's odd.

Now I'm concerned that I bought a gun that's unsafe to carry. There's no way in hell I'm carrying without a loaded chamber, but since it's a pocket gun, I kind of want something that's drop safe as it's more likely to happen than with a gun that's going to sit in a holster all day.

Would ruger be stupid enough to market a pocket gun that's not drop safe and try to rectify it with a clause in their manual that is indistinguishable from their typical "never load or shoot a gun ever!" lingo?

>>34331024
>Their marriage was never to be, as Cleburne was killed during an ill-conceived assault (which he opposed) on Union fortifications at the Battle of Franklin, just south of Nashville, Tennessee, on November 30, 1864. He was last seen advancing on foot toward the Union line with his sword raised, after his horse was shot out from under him.
Is why I linked it.

>>34331029
Here's a hot tip: Is it legal in California? If yes then it's safe. Every gun sold there past a certain point is forcibly drop tested off hilarious heights that you personally would not survive. If it's legal there, you're good. To be most specific, the LCP I and II are totally safe guns but it's best to err on the side of not getting sued and tell people not to carry it loaded, especially on a gun with no safety. Drop safeties and firing pin blocks are not an inherent answer either, they're largely marketing buzz first and foremost and each one must be personally inspected to ensure functionality.

Or are fibreglass rods just used because they is cheap.

It's an import so the price is great but not suspiciously so - new with all in the ad it would cost about $730.

Any thoughts on this list of pistols?

And I do mean any

Gonna get a Mossberg 500. Should I get the normal one that shoots 70-76mm length shells, or the 835(?) variant that accepts up to 89mm (3.5 inch) length shells? Mostly for hunting birds, and in my experience the big shells are fairly worthless. But if the guns are virtually identical, is there any reason not to get the bigger option?

>>34335259
CZ 75 (and clones Baby eagle, tanfoglio) are good all around target guns.
92A1 excellent accuracy although heavier than most options good for training.
SP2022 one of the weakest of sigs current offerings
FNX-9 early models had polymer issues they are now meme guns here ignore the squish reviews.

Out of the full steel guns CZ, 92A1, and Tanfoglio seem to be the most liked here.
Out of the polymer guns P-09 and FNX-9 are pretty well reviewed.

He's not entirely right or wrong. The longer the shell compared to the lifter arm, the more chance of a jam. Try sticking one of those mini shells in a 2.75" gun and you'll often find they jam up constantly without modifications. Sticking a 2.75" in a 3.5" has a similar effect.

Nigga they all the same thing.

Is there a difference in terminology for barrels that are fixed to the frame of a handgun, like the ppk, and others like the 1911? Is there a difference in performance between the two, assuming all other factors are the same?

>>34338741
They're called fixed barrels, surprised? They typically offer enhanced accuracy compared to a canting or otherwise moving barrel because they are fixed in place and don't wiggle around. If you really must ask though, the gun will outshoot the user and there's no downside to using a canting barrel unless you're top of top skilled. Fixed barrels tend to be harder to replace because they're often fused or pressed into the receiver.

That's like saying all spaghetti is the same.

Question to my American friends here, I just broke up with a long term girl friend (11 years) i'm pretty bummed out about it. Was thinking of seeing a shrink to see if I should get on Prozac or some shit. Will that affect me when I do background checks?

>>34339168
Yes, don't even try to join the military if you're gonna get some brain pills. Trust me, I was in the Navy and I saw the shit other people were going through all because they took Prozac when they were 16.

How do I choose between hammer and striker for CC?

>>34339645
You pick the gun based on every other characteristic first and then go for the one you like, hammer vs. striker isn't a real big deal unless you REALLY want that single action trigger.

How good is the 590A1 compared to a regular 500?

I can't get a 500 in my country.

>>34340051
The 590a1 is built stronger, heavier receiver, less plastic parts. It also has better aftermarket for things like mag tube extensions.

>>34340080
Alright, I also see that the finish is different, parkerized? Does it scratch as easily?

>>34340051
590A1 is the American Navy model and is generally tougher in every way as needed from a service gun. I'm surprised you can't get regular 500s but you can get a genuine military weapon.

>>34340093
500s and 870s are banned from import, nice laws right?

>>34340090
Less than blued and its also more corrosion resistant. It just doesn't look as good as a quality blue.

If an unregistered armslist user is selling a gun at a low price with very few attached pictures and claims they're an FFL, what are the ways I can verify they're not just butt burglars?

>>34340090
AFAIK they have entirely uneventful standard bluing typical of firearms, not counting the nickel models which are super corrosion resistant.

>>34340101
That's fucking crazy, the 590A1 is objectively killy-er than the regular ones if only because of the bayonet lug.

>>34340114
Call them, the first word out their mouth is a good sign to their quality. If it's still not a good descriptor then have them do the deal in a gunstore or outside a police station.

i got a p226 for my first gun and i was watching some videos about how to grip it and it said you're supposed to lock your wrist forward on your left hand so if you extend the fingers on your left hand they are at a 45 degree angle. but isn't that basically doing this and wont it fuck ur tendon up? i was practicing it and now my wrist kinda hurts

>>34340489
Just hold the gun dude. Find out what's most comfortable and offers the most control by experimenting. You can't teach basic motor skills through a video. You're overthinking it.

>>34340499
well i was doing that and my friend told me i was holding my gun retardedly and that my knuckles on my left hand should be at an angle and thumb should be parallel to the slide like this. feels kinda unnatural to bend my wrist that far forward though

>>34340524
That's a pretty good grip, I use it myself but if it hurts you then it hurts and therefore it's inherently not a good grip style for you and will probably fuck up a tendon. Have you tried putting your off hand fingers on the front of the trigger guard? That's what it's for and why it's got that little groove shape to it, you can likely rest your pointer finger up there to improve the angle of your hand.

If it still doesn't work then tell your friend to fuck off. As long as you're capable of putting rounds on target relatively reliably at expected self defense ranges, you're good.

What's the best way to ensure instant death by firearm? Do you want to aim upwards at a 45 degree angle through the mouth? Is FMJ decidedly worse than HP? Should you opt for a high-grain, large caliber rifle round, or is a blast of 12 gauge slug more "certain"?

>>34340599
Put gun in mouth and aim back towards brain stem. Use a wide caliber expanding bullet such as a JHP. Shotgun is preferred and is fatal in over 99% of cases, the exception being people who fuck up and blow off their face. Use anything labelled as buckshot or foster slug, don't use sabot slugs because those are small and thin with little frontal surface area.

>>34340612
Is it easy to fuck up the angle? You see stories of people who blew their faces up instead of dying right, but most of those seem like they were trying to get attention and were wincing away from the barrel when they pulled the trigger. Is it possible to aim too steeply when compensating for this?

>>34340617
Aim low rather than high, if you miss the stem then you'll blow out your spinal cord itself. Even if you STILL fuck up you'll still rapidly pass out and die from the sheer lack of blood flow to the brain. Here's a hot tip I forgot to mention: Draw an imaginary line between both ears. You want your line of fire to cross this line. Don't think too hard about this, as long as the gun is pointed straight and in your mouth you'll have a guaranteed kill with something like a shotgun.

>>34326217
>one thing I may argue for having is a weapon mounted light.

This may sound stupid but I want a mossberg MVP 223, but feel like M1A stock.

If I get a M1Awood stock can MVP fit?

Gas port hold maybe laser or just plugged up.


I just have a weird hard on for m14. I love the feel of the stock with the heat shield.

Pls respond

>>34340636
He could be one of those people who leaves his house lights on overnight.

>>34326547
You can use an adjustable stock and vertical forward grips without giving a damn about OAL, also no worries about nebulous status of braces and how to use them, which ATF loves to change their minds on

>>34340642
Armbraces are often fully adjustable these days but you are right about the foregrip part.

>>34340627
Awesome, thanks. One more question: can the power of the load increase kill probability? It sounds like it's all about shot placement, but if you're using 12 gauge, will 3" magnum buckshot be at all more effective than standard 2 3/4" shells?

>>34340645
I don't know about Sig brace, or the newer SBT stuff, but the KEK Notastockwave uses a hex key to tighten a set screw for adjustment

>>34340647
Yes, increased energy will improve the rate at which expansion of the projectile occurs in addition to just plain battering your body harder. I could go on for hours about this but I'll say it doesn't matter one bit. We're talking about an incredibly soft and thin part of the body, anything you shove at it will most likely overpenetrate. Don't think too hard about it.

>>34340639
Honestly i'm not sure if it would be easier to convert an M1A stock or design your own and add M1A metal and top handguard.

If you have no experience with either woodworking or sock bedding you're gonna have a hell of a hard time.

>>34340675
*stock bedding

>>34340675

Eh I guess just want the feel of the front/handguard area.

>>34340703
You could always nigger rig an m14 heat guard to fit your rifle if you wanted. Its not like it will cost you all that much to try. Steel cable ties to hold it on, it will look ghetto but in a wasteland style way.

>>34340722
Maybe make a sleeve shape of handgaurd area over the stock or something?

I guess I'll buy the heat shield and figure it out /nig rig it.

On the 92A1: a lot of the after-market support (holsters, etc) for a normal 92 doesn't work because the outside dimensions are different. If you have the money to throw at getting custom stuff made, great gun. If you need to stick to a budget, not so much.

Gopd luck, that's a pretty exotic cartridge these days, especially with 7mm Mag hogging the lime light.

For what it's worth, the criticism I always here for heavy .264 bullets is they lack wounding potential because they are too dense at 2600fps and under so they take forever to open up in tissue. A quick glance at the web shows people bitching that the .264 Win Mag blows up when it hits bone and you need a heavier bullet.

I'm inclined to think both parties are somewhat full of shit, since the Euros love 6.5x55. Stick to a heavier bullet, probably a bonded or monolithic if you're shooting very close or the game is big boned, and I hope to god you're hand loading.

Cash or money order are better, paypal payments can be revoked if the buyer abuses buyer protection.

Why do people recommend AR15s and shit for an "SHTF" rifle? It seems like a great way to get shot, while having a pistol and bolt action allows you to look less suspicious and still defend yourself. Plus you'd have a better hunting and long range rifle if it came to that.

I mean thinking about it the Tikka fills all these checkboxes better but I think the Winchester would look so good on the wall and I really like lever actions.
I guess then it's more of a question of "should I get the rifle that is functionally better for the situations I may need it for or buy the one that looks nice on the wall and is fun as fuck to shoot with?"

>>34349103
Personally I'd go with the Tikka. These rifles are god-tier and you can always pick up a nice Winchester at pretty much any gun show for a good price.

>>34349145
In this case the Tikka is 100 bucks more and doesn't have a scope yet.
Really, even pre 64 Winchesters? I haven't been on this board long but I got the impression they were a little more desirable/rare?

>>34349216
Eh, I don't really know
I'm really not a cowboy action guy so I don't know much about lever actions but every time I go to a gun show it's filled to the brim with Winchesters.
Maybe the market is a bit different up here in Canada too

>>34348940
No, you're just a mouth breathing idiot who doesn't understand sectional density's relation to penetration.

>>34348929
He's right though

I have a Tikka T3x .308 and it fills all those boxes but it is completely soulless. I have regreted not buying a lever since I bought it, I am now seriously considering selling it and using the money I get to buy a lever action in either 45/70 or 30-30, leaning more towards 45/70.
The woods are so thick and the fields are few and far between so I dont really need a rifle that can reach out to long ranges and I also have alot of bears in the area and I would feel more confident with a 45/70 then a 308

I want to start reloading .30-06 to save money. I don't care about special precision rounds or quality really, I just want the lowest possible cost per round, and I want to use the cheapest possible equipment.

I found this Lee press for $25 on Amazon, pic related. Is this and a .30-06 die all I need to get started?

And how do I pick powder? I know nothing about the different kinds of powder. Again, I just want the cheapest one that will do the job.

My .30-06 is a semi-auto, if that makes a difference. I was about to buy an all-in-one reloading kit for even cheaper but reviews said it only worked for boltguns. Will this work for a semi?

>>34350210
You need a lot more than that to start reloading. You need a scale to weigh powder and ideally some sizing dies if you're using fired brass plus a doohickey to push out the primer. Look into some books about reloading, it's more than just playing with Lego. There are a lot of mechanics and rules involved if you want your creations to be safe.

>>34350210
Let me start with saying i'm still pretty inexperienced with reloading.

>Is this and a .30-06 die all I need to get started?
A scale, tri beam manual scales will be the cheapest.
Calipers, cheap dial ones are good enough.
Case trimmers later if you plan on reusing brass more than a few times.

>how do I pick powder?
You dies will come with a list of powder and loading recommendations just start the ones that are cheapest on that list.

>My .30-06 is a semi-auto, if that makes a difference.
Not really, you do have to be a bit more careful not to under/over load your ammo.
The reviews are wrong any AIO kit will do the same for semi's.

how available will 8mm mauser be in the future? i've been kicking around the idea of getting a k98 to use for hunting and just to shoot for fun but i only like to buy guns that i will keep and be able to shoot affordably for the rest of my life

>>34350210
Also >>34350243 is right but if you get a lee ultimate die set it will come with all the dies you need for 30-06.

Other sets without factory crimp dies will also work but the cost between the sets is pretty small.

>>34350210
Cast your own bullets
Use surplus powder

Ok, I think I found the wrong one. I found one that has the depriming tool and shell holder and stuff too for a little more money. Pic related. I watched a guy do it on youtube and he did the complete process with nothing but this kit, a die, and a scale and calipers.

And everyone said the other kit wouldn't work because it did neck sizing only or something like that. The kit was all in one, it didn't even need a die.

>>34350274
Those are mainly for handloading unfired brass.
The C style press you pictured earlier and a 30-06 dieset can still be had for pretty cheap.

>>34350255
It's a very popular european hunting cartridge, so probably for a very long time.

It is pretty easy to find new manufacture stuff for the same price as decent 308.

>>34350274
>>34350278
Oh and one more thing to add, if you go for the C style press you need either a hand primer or the ram primer upgrade.

>>34350278
Why does the other press work better for fired brass?

>>34348802
Yes

>>34350605
fired brass may need to be resized, which requires sizing dies, and is just better suited for a bench mounted press.

i recently dug out my old jc higgins 103.18 .22 single shot bolt action that i bought at a gun show for 20 bucks when i was like 8 years old. pretty sure it's a marlin model 100 that was rebranded for the sears catalog in the 50's. anyway theres no feed ramp on it so i have to put each round into the hole by hand so it gets kinda tedious after a while.

does anyone know if this gun is supposed to have a feed ramp and if so where can i buy one? i cant find any pictures of it with an open bolt online

>>34339124
Congrats on no taste

>>34345255
looks like ESS ballistic eye pro

when you buy parts of an AR-15 online, are the packages marked as containing firearm parts, kinda like how ammunition is labeled as hazardous materials ?

Are there any other .22 pistols built like the Ruger Mark series? By that I mean built to last out of real materials, none of this aluminum slide shit that's all the rage with new .22 pistols.

I want a .22 pistol but the Rugers have too long of a reach to the trigger for my stubby fingers and everything else looks like shit.

Can someone give me a quick rundown of which buckshot to use for what?

I have a Burris Fastfire III red dot for my handgun, I'm trying to understand how I'm supposed to adjust the dot. Is this how I'm supposed to adjust the dot when trying to aim with the red dot?

you want to stay away from guns that look like normal pistols to replicate their looks but in 22. high standards and colt woodsmen exist but id stay away due to them being out of production for years now with pretty much zero parts availability.

>>34353775
no.
you move the dot till point of aim meets up with point of impact.
you arent trying to line it up with anything.
that white line means nothing. the bottom of the sight means nothing. it is not iron sights.

What's a good guide to sighting in a scope? For the life of me I can't get my raifu on an 8" square at 100yd.

Best threaded G17 barrel?

List of brands that produce side charging AR uppers with no rear charging handle slot?

Is DPMS a good manufacturer? Has my brother made a mistake? He got an AR if that makes a difference.

>>34355022
it's fine. just shoot it until something breaks and then replace it with a high end part. eventually you'll have a sweet rifle

my 10/22 keeps stovepiping and getting light primer strikes. anyone know what might be causing this? i replaced the extractor with a volquartsen one today and it's still happening

>>34355264
Is it doing it with one brand of ammo or across multiple manufacturers?

>>34355299
i've tried the two different kinds of federal bulk packs as well as remington thunderbolt and it's happened several times with each brick. i shot maybe 100 rounds today of federal and got like 5-10 stovepipes and 3 light primer strikes.

>>34355322
Interesting that the volquartsen extractor is still having stovepipes. Mine flings everything way out.

Wondering if it's just bad luck with ammo or maybe something with the bolt face, firing pin, or recoil spring is out of whack.

Are the FEG copies of the Browning Hi Power good? Are the differences noticeable enough to want an FN stamp? Would an FEG Hi Power be good or acceptable as a carry gun?

>>34355370
i'm using some old ass outers gun oil from probably the 70s or 80s so maybe that's gumming it up somehow. i just bought some clp on ebay so i guess i'll wait for that to come in and try that. i got the gun in like 1999-2000 so i wouldnt be surprised if something is worn out on it though

>>34355452
Yeah they're fine. no reason to pay the extra for the FN if you're not a collector. Make sure to get the single action version though, there's a double action one too and I heard it has a stiff and shitty trigger

>>34355476
I'd say recoil spring, in that case.

>>34355487
Good to know. Figured the design was simple enough that as long as the machining and finish is decent, it doesn't matter, but wanted a second opinion.

I bought a shotgun and I want to try out hunting, how do I get into it? Just go out innabush, blast some rabbits and then figure out how to skin them?

>>34355657
yea but when u shoot ur first animal ur supposed to drink its blood and then rub it on ur face

Does anyone know what type of handguard this is (Manufacturer, model, etc)?

My friend from work gave me a remington 870 Ducks unlimited and a Er Amantino Condor over-under. Both in 12. What are they worth?

>>34353871
>guns that look like normal pistols to replicate their looks but in 22
Yeah that's what I was talking about. Some of those fit my hand well, they just all seem a little janky.

>S&W Victory
I like the looks of it but I've heard of issues with reliability and with the rifling.

>Buckmark
Also like the looks of it but it's one of those guns that the manual tells you not to disassemble because it's so fiddly. You have to take the rear sight off just to start it.

Take down is pretty much why I bought a Ruger MK IV, but now that I'm a more experienced shooter I recognize when shooting it the symptoms of a gun that doesn't fit my hand.

I was going to see about getting the Volquartsen kit to see if taking all the pretravel out of the trigger fixes my issues with it, but Volquartsen isn't even selling them right now because the fucking gun was recalled.

buy a spare set of grips so it doesnt matter if you fuck up and scallop the hell out of the area under your trigger finger

How do I learn more about forged barrels vs milled barrels and the differences between shotgun barrels? What's safe, what's not, etc

>>34356188
That's a pretty good idea familia. I'll try that.

>>34350854
Why did Higgins make so many fucking boltguns, this is ridiculous. They made boltguns out of EVERY caliber.

I just purchased a 10/22 and I was trying to disassemble it. None of the allen wrenches I own seem to fit the hex screw on the barrel band. Any idea what size I should be looking for?

What's a good scope I could buy for a FAL with a picatinny rail $300 or less?

going on a trip to IL soon and they dont recognize my CCW. is there any way i could legally take my gun with me for when i get in states that do recognize my CCW?

>>34356815
Put it in a locked case in the trunk of your car while travelling through IL. Keep ammo and mags separate.

If you don't feel like doing that at the border, than I recommend avoiding Chicago and not driving in a manner that will get you pulled over.

Is running a red dot with fixed rear and front sights retarded? I've been thinking about picking up a SPARC AR but I already have a nice A2 style rear that I figured I could just flip to the larger aperture.
