Hey /k/, I just bought my first gun, an old Mauser 98k, in good condition. I was just wondering about any tips as how to polish the wooden stock without hurting the wood?
Thanks!
>>33128052
Don't
how about dont.
>>33128069
>>33128073
The wood is in superb condition, but if it's not a good idea to polish it, I won't.
What type of ammo do you carry?
>.45 hydrashok 230G

post webm pls
Tax return came through and I want to add a nice battle rifle to my collection. Which would you recommend: HK MR762 or FN SCAR 17S? I can get the latter for $2,650 but the HK would be around $3,300
>>33127868
you dont get the good HKs so dont bother
>>33127868
I think the HK is more aesthetic, but the scar 17 seems to offer just as much functionality while being cheaper and lighter.
>>33127887
How so?
Opinions on .38 special revolvers?
>>33127781
They fit in your pocket.
I was thinking of getting because of that and I like the look
>>33127793
Ammo's more expensive than 9mm (unless you get a 9mm revolver)
But revolvers are pretty cool.
What is the best **style** of combat knife?
I'm looking for something smallish (=<4" blade), and i figure a fixed blade is the obvious choice
My current edc is a buck nobleman, but i also have a schrade F14 that i bought for defense purposes
>inb4 just get a gun
I will in august when my wifes son turns 21 so he can buy it for me
Pic mostly related
>>33127726
>combat knife
Dagger. Or at least something like pic related.
>>33127765
Came here to post dagger
>>33127726
Dagger. A knife is a tool, but a dagger is a weapon. Get a fixed blade with a wide quillon and a pommel suitable for striking. Make sure the handle is round. Keep the blade razor sharp, especially at the point.
so these guys are legitimately retarded now. i get the reference but it's just cringey.

Why are autistic cucks like carl so cringy?
>>33127675
It was pretty cringy and I usually defend these two fucks. Thank god they didn't roll InRange and Forgotten Weapons into one channel like they were considering; they would have absolutely ruined FW with this autism. It's hard watching this shit and knowing my 1 patreon dollar a month helped fund it.
Alright I need to know which is a better pistol to go for
The USP 9mm or the CZ 9mm?
I'm trying to determine which gun would be better use for the long run and as well accessibility to parts and mags.
I heard the usp has a polygonal barrel and if I go for the USP can I acquire rifling barrel so that I can freely use lead bullets instead of all copper or does the CZ 9mm compared to the USP 9mm has the rifled barrel?

>oh Haaaans!
>vat ist it Otis?
>zere ist a fellow on ze veapons forum asking about if he should get ze glorious german engineered pistol built vith german power OR he should get ze one zat vas made by zat one country zat once built panzers for us germans in ze gut old days
>tell him he should get ze german one because it's far more reliable und built vith perfection und simplicity
>oh should ve tell him to be sure to read up on ze book on calculus und german math?
>sure und tell him to go practice math und engineering because he's gonna be happy vith ze german pistol
>oh vat about ze CZ one!?
>tell him it vaz made by ze judens
>Hans your a GENIUS!
>>33127567
I have a p07. No problems with it. Shoots well.
No idea how the USP is. >>33127567
>>33127567
The USP will hold up to extremely high round counts better than the CZ. USPs made before ~1994 will have traditional rifling.
Britvets, can you be kicked from phase 1 for getting ill out in feildcraft?
I went on a innawoods trip with some ex military guys to get an idea on what to expect and got pretty ill from the cold and wet weather.
With a week out I'm wondering if they will discharge you when getting a rough cold and start puking up.
No idea
But ask the fellas on arrse - they'll be able to answer your question.

What's the best gun you could have for when SHTF?
>>33127374
A glock since it's literally the best gun ever made
>>33127380
Any gun with a lot of ammo.
Next question.

It is a cycle anon, it will happen again after the Nuclear holocaust. We'll just have to redevelop the tech.
>Hood rats and /pol/lution will both ride long-legged pit bulls into battle while wielding AKs and shitty homemade STG-44s
>/k/ will continue riding legit vehicles while still nogunz
>>33127245
You probably wouldn't have back then either, given that maybe only 5% of the population was able to afford that kind of gear.
You would have slogged onto the battlefield on foot, or maybe just died of typhus beforehand.

How did I do, /k/?
>>33126944
Russians are still superior at AA, tanks, interceptors, arty and infantry weapon.
>>33126971
Yeah, Russia could repel an US attack. But attack the US? No.
>>33126944
You are part of the problem. Don't let others tell you what to believe. /k/ doesn't know as much as they would like you to think. Do your own research and come to your own conclusions.

Before you ask a question, check the FAQ

Which branch are you enlisting/enlisted/considering?
http://strawpoll.me/4671253 (embed)
Got a three year 35F contract. Excited about that, but I didn't get a bonus. Did I get screwed?
I want to get paid to clean shit, get in shape and learn how to shoot.
I also want to stop being a pussy and acquire some discipline.
I don't have a college education, don't plan on getting one, and would be interested in careers in LE or security once my contract ends.
Should I go infantry?
>>33126958
Honestly, no. Peace time infantry sucks. You get to do all that shit in every other MOS and you also learn relevant skills and get civilian certifications depending on your job.
How about we lengthen the bullet and replace the innards with a lighter material like aluminum?
This way we will have a bullet that weighs the same as other bullets but is longer and therefore more aerodynamic which means that it will be more efficient at long ranges.
>>33126837
So are you asking for 5.45x39?
>>33126837
If a bullet gets too long it'll make icepick wounds instead of yawing upon impact.
>>33126915
Longer bullets wont stabilize as well with the same twist rate.
