Now that HPA will most likely pass, how about removing SBRs, SBS, and AOWs?
The laws and definitions surrounding these are the most retarded. And it's not as impossible as reopening the mg registry. We already have so many ways to skirt these laws, may as well just scribble em out anyway to make things easier.
>>32702050
Even with a Republican controlled congress and the most pro-gun president we have seen in a while in the whitehouse, it will still take a large amount of political clout to pass the HPA. I am not sure that there will be enough left to start after the other parts of the NFA.
I also think we will never see the Machine Gun registry reopened by legislative means. Too many wealthy individuals who "invested" in machine guns that will fight tooth and nail against it. The Hughes Amendment will most likely have to be declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
Personally I would rather see a federal gun control preemption law. Bring the rogue states into line with the rest of the country before trying to expand the rights.
>>32702207
All of this. I don't care about machine guns at the moment, first I want to be able to conceal carry anywhere in the states
>>32702220
I don't just want universal concealed carry. I want the states that have "permits" and assault weapon brought in line.
In my home state of NJ, I know more than one person who just is putting off buy a gun because of the crazy difficult process that is involved in just getting the FPID. These are people who are gun neutral but could become pro gun if they owned one.
Easiest to maintain centerfire semi auto rifle? (Pistol calibers count)
>>32702018
Ar15.
>>32702018
Any straight blowback SMG.
>>32702018
Out of what I've handled, the vz58 seems the easiest to me.
You can do 90% of maintenance by just pulling back the bolt and locking it, then using the push pin to get at the gas system.
AKs are so close that it's practically equal, but I think the vz is just a little easier no matter how far I take it down. A lot of aks require additional tools to pull the gas lever release because it's stiff as hell, and there's a minimal bit of fitting required to get things back on. That's probably the things that hurt them the most.

Redpill me on bullpups /k/
Thinking about picking up a semi auto famas for home defense.
First off, good luck finding a semi-auto FAMAS.
Bullpups are okay. They might be a better choice than a normal rifle for HD but I personally believe shotguns and handguns are superior for HD.
I'd suggest an AUG. They've been around a while, they are available and there is a good aftermarket. As good as bullpups get anyway.

>Thinking about picking up a semi auto famas

No you aren't.
I got a used Mossberg 590A1 this week, and it's having trouble loading shells. The cartridge stop isn't being depressed with the pump so it's not releasing the shell. I ordered a new stop, ejector, and elevator for t hoping that will fix it.
I noticed that the pump rail is sliding under the ejector and keeping it lifted after the elevator moves past it, and I'm not sure if that's supposed to be the case or if it's suppose to glide over it and suppress it. Pic related if you can make it out. It wasn't doing this so much day 1 and I can definitely confirm that it was going under the ejector then. Can anyone shed some light on it for me?
Pump rail I'm talking about. Also in the other pic I may have had the ejector under the pump rail for that pic, I can't remember but that's what it looks like now. These pics are probably useless to you anyway.
The rail has a groove on it that goes over the shell stop lever and pushes it out of the way.
Have you tried reassembling it multiple times?
What is everyone's take on the CZ brand Glock?
I'm starting to really hate the striker fired polymer framed no external safety meme.

>>32701628
The youtube salesmen like it. So it might be good. I'm going to try it out when it's released.
>>32701628
Underwhelmed by the numbers so far. I'd like to try it out, but it's pretty low on my list of guns I'm interested in. And I'm not going to lie, as a CZ fanboy I'm disappointed they didn't keep the slide in frame design. Even if it didn't do all that much I want it.
Hey /k/ so im writing a book. Main character is a us marine and while i am going into the marines this year i find myself a little less than knowledgeable on subjects like military desegnations for units (not sure if thats some hollywood bullshit) do they just go by the letter code (alpha, bravo, charlie, delta) or are there specific code names for infantry and air units? Also some military slang would be useful though i think i got a bit of it down already from marine friends and other sources.
What i mean is when you see in films and such units refer to themselves as "phantom" or "archangel" to name a few. Is this a thing or just hollywood bullshittery
Not a Marine, but I'm down with giving all the help I can to a fellow (aspiring or not, I don't know you) writer.
I don't know how terminology works in the USMC, but I can tell you that most military denominations are extremely pragmatic, designed to be synthetic and easily understandable, hence all the acronyms and contractions. In my country, we designate squads with the team leader's name, platoons with a Nato alphabet letter (or an equivalent) and companies with a number preceded by the batallion number. For example, mechanized infantry batallion 25, second company, first platoon, Miller squad would be designated as "Miller Squad, Alpha platoon, InfBat25/1".
Acronyms tend to be country/corps specific, so I can offer little help with that.
What's the story about, OP?
>>32701591
Some elements of the hierarchy tend to have specific callsigns; General Mattis was "Chaos" during the Iraq invasion of 2003, if I remember correctly, but I don't know how it would work down the ranks. I guess it would admissible for a renowned/particular tactical element to have a callsign of their own choice.

It's your money, but know that I'm going to laugh at you.
Sup /k/ just purchased a 1954 russian izhevsk sks for $350 non refurbished with all matching serial numbers. Gun in pic is not it. I'm not familiar with guns but I'm not dumb enough to pass it up at that price either. What is the resale value? I don't plan on selling just curious.
im quite jealous of you americunts. help me. save me from germany /k/

$150 cash and $25 in trade at a pawn shop

which one would be most effective for pulling a kurt cobain?
.22 for sure. It'll bounce around inside your skull turning your brain to paste.
>>32701420
.22 buddy, it'll get in there and bounce around like a pingpong ball, that's why .22 is the bestest bullet ever designed.
In all honesty, maybe you should consider not doing a Kurt Cobain.
>>32701420
.22 bounces around the brain, use it
What would /k/ think of a two tiered military culture?
Like a 'double standard' that formally distinguishes between a captain of infantry, and a captain of microsoft excel.
The excel guy could get paid more (because his skills are worth more), yet maintain a lower level of fitness, and discipline - being able to do his job and serve his country, without getting mocked all the time.
The rigid military hierarchy isn't appropriate in an office setting anyway.
Because the overweight guy reading the economist on the bus has a different uniform, the infantryman wouldn't need to mock him all the time to preserve his warrior pride.
There could actually be mutual respect between grunts and pogs. Thoughts?
Quit posting this shit thread and suck off a shotgun.
Nobody in the know will ever respect grunts.

I have this project in mind. I am going to buy a Bulgarian Makarov PM for $300 and de-blue the slide. With the slide in the white, I will proceed to copper plate it. Then I will buy some dark wooden grips for it and leave the frame in original blued finish. The copper will look really shiny and bling for a few weeks, but eventually take on a nice, dark copper look.
This could either look really nice and steampunk, or it could be the ultimate bubba
Should I?
