What do you think of the Remington R51?

My father and I were looking at the gun store this afternoon and we got that one out of the case and found it to be a very comfortable gun to hold, and very lightweight for it's size and the fact that it's a metal gun, my father is thinking he'd like to buy one for conceal carry soon, and I'm considering one myself.

Is there anything I should really know about them?

Sort these in priority order with a why (note - none of these have any direct application to my life):

* Get a gun and go to range once a week
* Learn to draw passably
* Learn guitar
* Get a motorcycle and ride it
* Get a project car / do pointless (invisible) shit to current car
* Get better at job that already takes up ALL free time during week
* Write in

Keep it under $5000 / year.

Working out not on list because given.

Don't worry, some other shitty AK will come to fill the gap. When the wasr first came people talked so much shit about them, before them it was other Romy kit builds.

Finally made up my mind. Local gun shop is selling a Marlin 1895 for $600

Should I?
I've always wanted a lever action chambered in 45-70

Hell yeah. Not bad price. I absolutely love my SBL. The 45-70 is an awesome round, I suggest you get HSM cowboy ammo to build up a stock of Starline brass to reload with. You might not like the buckhorn sights that the GBL comes with, but there's tons of aftermarket sights that work awesome (like Skinner sights)
>>

Sorry OP, im only going to derail slightly.
I really want to get a lever action, since I haven't had one since I was a kid. Any suggestions on caliber/model? I was thinking 45-70 or .444 marlin, but im not too picky. I'd like to get rifle for under $1000 and not pay out the nose for ammo.

Just bought 4 mags online, and the seller included these keychains. The eye screw is hot glued into the primer hole.

I get the feeling these were meant to be snapcaps, and they make them keychains just to "look safe" (i.e. not look like live rounds).

I should rephrase, not SnapCapsâ„¢, but rather dummy/practice rounds.

Lots of the non SnapCapâ„¢ practice rounds, do not include a primer to strike on.

For years now, Glock has had a blue label programs that cuts steep discounts to public service employees and some others. You can get a brand new Glock in the plastic box for just $398. These blue label deals are named as such for the blue case label that's unique to the program.

I went into the Army in 1980. I left in 1988. I was never issued anything other than the standard 1-quart, plastic canteen, not even for Grenada. I saw a few of those 2-quart canteens, but never cared enough to inquire about them. If we needed more water, we carried 2 canteens.

There were two types. The first type was a plastic sheeting, clear plastic bladder canteen type.

How does a person like this even become an NCO in an American infantry regiment, let alone a senior NCO. I mean I've met plenty who are terrible people, and dickbags, but I don't think I've ever met any that have the wrong personality, character, mindset and temperament to be a good soldier. This guy seemed to be lacking all of that. How did he ever make it beyond private?

Greetings, /k/ucks, envoy from /his/ here.

Is there still any difference in the roles of Cruisers, Destroyers, and Frigates nowadays?

It seems to me all three are just big missile boats instead of occupying specific roles. So what's the point in keeping the nomenclature?

Thanks in advance.

Corvettes are better

Frigates are smaller and cheaper than destroyers and have much less missiles
They exists to escort carriers after the navy runs low on money from building carriers.
Destroyers are all around vessels that carry a good amount of missiles and can do anything
Cruisers were meant to carry a shit ton of missiles and do everything else a destroyer does

Cruisers and frigates are being phased out because they don't serve a role that destroyers can't do just as well. We've never needed more missiles than a destroyer can carry.

Used to be that they would have different anti-sub capabilities but then they were all refitted with tow behind sonar systems.

>Is there still any difference in the roles of Cruisers, Destroyers, and Frigates nowadays?

>Cruisers

Nowadays, the term "Cruiser" is rarely used except when talking about abnormally large surface combatants like the Kirov battlecruisers. The Ticonderoga-class cruisers were planned as a class of destroyer, but were re-designated as cruisers purely for political reasons. In terms of function, they are essentially identical to the Arleigh Burkes class destroyers, except that they hold more missiles and have large command facilities.

Frigates are smaller warships design to supplement destroyers/cruiser in particular roles. Whereas larger warships are general-purpose vessels usually, Frigates tended to be more heavily optimized towards a particular task. This is a natural result of having a smaller vessel with less room to carry extra equipment. For example, the Oliver Perry Hazard frigate-class was created specifically to act as escorts for auxiliary vessels. In particular, their design was optimized towards anti-submarine warfare because the Soviet fleet was very submarine-focused and so auxiliary ships would need to be protected during a war.

However, for some navies, "frigate" is actually their largest surface combatant, and in those cases, the Frigates tended to look a lot like scaled down multi-purpose destroyers rather than specialized vessels. Sad but true.

I had the Series 1 for a while and it hasn't worn out but i've seen that some people have had problems with them. Then again they're made of plastic i don't think they're meant for things like mag dumping.
