Is building my own AR worth it? Am I significantly saving anything? Or should I just buy a complete one since i'm not a felonynigger
if you already have a portion of home tools to put an AR together, then yes. If you have to buy all the tools and you might not be putting together anymore AR's, then most likely no. Best option at that point is to buy a lower assembled + upper assembled.
>>32856723
No tools, figured I could find a build party or something if it was super worthwhile to do
>>32856732
i was going to say 'mother fucker, this aint mary kay' but...is that a thing? but no, unless you want something specific, just buy one.
My first gun was a Glock 30. I've been wanting to try something new, but can't afford two handguns at this time. Someone is offering me a S&W 669 as a trade. Anyone own/owned one? Decent trade? Decent gun for concealed carry?
>>32856681
I wouldn't do it as a straight trade. I disliked my 30sf as it was a fucking brick, but would never have traded it for an 80s S&W auto.
there isn't a huge price disparity, but the Glock is way easier to sell. I'd put money that the guy is looking for the trade because he can get the same money for a much easier pistol to sell
>>32856706
He offered a few. Ruger SR9C, the 669, and xD9 mod 2 compact. A Glock 17 as well, but obviously I want to try something beside a Glock.
Reason I was considering the 669 out of those is mainly looks and the fact it's both single and double action. I've never handled one, but as long as they're reliable, I'd be willing to give it a shot.
Are the other one's a better option? Not sure if it adds to value or not, but I'm throwing in a Crossbreed holster as well.
>>32856681
S&W upgraded this pistol in a later model, and both became irrelevant when the Sig P229 came out
Anyone watching Six?
I think it's pretty average, but I'm a big fan of Goggins', and seeing a protagonist commit a war crime and not be vilified for it made my dick hard

Hey /k/, getting my first gun as soon as my LTC gets okay'd
Things to know: Poorfag, MAsshole, manlet
Right now I'm looking at either the P238 or P938 for a first pistol
The P238 is cheaper up front, but would P938 be cheaper in the long run? I don't know shit about ammo prices with .380 vs 9mm
Also I chose compact since I can probably only afford one decent priced gun for the next year or two. Is full sized necessary for a first pistol?
I'm 5'8 126 lbs btw. If I were to go full sized I'd get Beretta 92fs. Would it even be possible to CC that at my size?
>>32856375
Also noteworthy I'll take it to the range almost weekly, whatever the choice. So keep in mind it'll be largely range but also CC.
Oh and fun fact, might get pic related to hunt deer. Only way you can hunt deer here is shotguns and muzzleloaders. At least with this I can be motherfucking Liver Eating Johnson. Maybe hipfire it one handed at injuns. Traditions Arms makes some beautiful guns.
>>32856375
fullsize isn't "necessary" for a 1st pistol, but it's a better platform for learning pistol marksmanship with.
>I'm 5'8 126 lbs
you aren't going to be able to carry fullsized concealed.
P938 is a better primary carry pistol than the P238, but isn't going to be the best thing to learn on. honestly neither are. buy it, carry it, but look for a used .22lr pistol like a Buckmark to work on your marksmanship with, when you can. you're going to shoot like shit until you get something else to nail down your fundamentals with.
>>32856417
>look for a used .22lr pistol
Would a Ruger III suffice? I fired one during my training coarse (first gun I ever shot, fucked up commie State) so it'd be comfiest imo.
And thanks for the advice.
What were specific sword types and other weapons used by ancient Vietnam, 16th century Ireland and the tribes of Ghana?
Preferably posted with images of a side view and white background. Slicing and bludgeoning weapons preferred, other types such as penetrating and throwing are acceptable
I'm getting into Vietnamese history, I've always been a fan of Irish history and the 16th century is supposedly the most interesting, and my Aunt adopted some boys from Ghana a while back. They're actually cool as fuck and not the stereotype at all, so I wanted to try and make them some video game mods replacing melee weapons with Ghanaian ones as presents for them.
This is a better question for >>>/his/, but:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dha_(sword)
Weren't Ireland's swords fairly similar to other European swords with exception of the hilt, where ring pommels (ring of metal with exposed tang) gained in popularity
I don't know a whole lot about them though
>>32856330
They REALLY prefer to talk about race and politics. I made a thread and it went to page 10 after 1 reply.
Also thanks.
Has anyone bought Vicker's coffee table book? Ian bought the AR-15 one and frankly it's pretty good.
I'm on the fence about buying the 1911 reprint.

Newsflash for all you SHTF fags.
Pic related is the absolute most you will be able to get away with carrying in a SHTF situation, carry an ar and you will be engaged by remnants of law enforcement or the army.
The key is to be the grey man, blend in and look poor.
All you black camouflage tactical fags will be getting picked off left and right.
In a SHTF situation you should be killing every single nigger and anyone who tries to stop you.
a scoped battle rifle should be the SHTF rifle because you can snipe people armed with ARs or AKs before they enter firing range.
i for one plan to roam the wasteland walking down the middle of the street with my deer rifle because everyone knows you dont shoot people with hunting rifles. i heard about it on 4chan. all those guys staying out of sight with semi-automatic rifles are just going to get shot instantly because everybody knows people with AR's will just make themselves targets. its fucking shtf you tacticool loser. all you need is a slingshot.
Alright, /k/. We may not have much time left until the true Happening.
I should've been paying more attention to this board but with the Trump election and everything, I thought we might have a chance to reverse course.

Did you ever shoot an Fn-Scar? If so how would you rate it?
>>32855079
That's not a SCAR that's a FAMAS
Some dude let me shoot his Scar 17 with a Geissele super scar trigger at the range once.
Shit

Niceâ„¢
A .308 that recoils like a 5.56
>>32855079
Yes. Better than the M4s I started deploying with mainly because 7.62. Would stick with AR/M4 for 5.56 because reliable enough, more ergonomic and if buying price.
post yfw the libtards can't uprise and be violent because we brainwashed them into disarming themselves
They are being pretty violent though .

They just assaulted people and shut down a Milo speech.
Why does /k/ not have an explosives general?
anyhow lets get a pyrotechnic thread going, post question about homemade stuff for removing stumps and such.
post all questions you have so you can avoid losing a fingero to your shitty homemade m-80
God knows we don't need another general. If this one gets off the ground, though, the following links should be in every OP:
#1: https://murdercube.com/files/
The do/k/ument. Explosives, launchers, references, it's all here.
#2: http://gunfreezone.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/improvised-munitions-handbook.pdf
A copy of army manual TM-31-210, or the Improvised Munitions Handbook. A full how to on the creation of various devices, including pistols, carbines, rockets, shaped charges, fuses, various explosives, grenades, triggers, and traps.
9/11 killed that hobby.
With that said, I managed to survive being a teenager with my fingers and eyes in tact.
Well I'll start off I guess, here is a hole I made with 110g of 85% granulated AN and 15% hmtd
Buried about 1 foot under sand, hole was 1 meter across 1.5m deep. Leg for scale

how we lookin, boys?
>>32854216
Arm needs to be moved up, it doesn't stick straight out of the socket, it sort of rolls upward into the collarbone. Right now it looks like it's sticking out from between a couple of ribs.
Are there classes that I can take so I can learn how to shoot a rifle properly? I often read that in the muhreens, those that have never shot a gun before usually do better than those who have during qualification.
I'm not trying to pretend to be an operator or anything, I just want to be shooting the "right" way.
>>32854033
Yeah but we dry fire at barrel's with dots before we do for like 2 weeks. Plus have professional Marksman teach us.
You can't duplicate that experience on your own...
Then we have outstanding marksman drill that shit into our head, known as PMI's.
That said some guys were great shots beforehand. I was a pic related, any fundamental questions I'll try to answer for you.
>>32854148
I've literally never fired a gun before. If you handed me a rifle, I'd know in theory how to use it, just like how I know in theory how to drive a manual transmission car. I understand sight picture, but I don't know about things such as breath/trigger control, shooting stances, etc.
