There's usually a thread that pops up every now and then about gun safety mistakes we've seen other people make.
Can we get a thread going about our own fuck-ups? I'll start with mine.
>be me, own full-size SA 1911-A1 mil-spec because meme gun
>have carry permit, 1911 is my only handgun, cc it around town (conceals pretty well actually with jacket) because why not
>yesterday hanging out with girl I met last week when we decide to go study at a coffee shop
>been ccing entire time I've been with her, but we've been outside where it was chilly and a jacket was warranted
>coffee shop is going to be warm inside, so I know I'll have to take my jacket off
>gun is also under my button-down, but would be fairly obvious once I was sitting down
>I don't want to freak out a bunch of pussies in the coffee shop with big scary gun, decide to put it in my backpack instead
>unholster, set gun on floor of car by my backpack in the back seat so I can get my shit together
>pull backpack out of car, it fucking brings the 1911 with it
>gun, round in the chamber and hammer cocked, falls from my car and hits the asphalt
>landed where it was pointing directly at her feet
>she turns around at the noise and sees me bending down to pick up gun she didn't know I had on me
Thank fuck it didn't go off. I had the safety on and everything, but this gun is older than I am and I wasn't sure it could take an impact like that. Turns out she's fine with me having it on me, but I was freaking the fuck out at having been so irresponsible. I don't think it was an outright idiotic move (as opposed to cleaning a gun while it's loaded) but I that's the kind of shit, the little things, that gets people killed.
What stupid things have you done with your guns /k/?

Letting someone bring alcohol along to a shoot because they'll be "responsible"
Never taking that fucking drunk out again.

Story time
Well /k/, I'm a beer at here but I came because I am going to be inheriting this U.S. Winchester Model of 1917 with all matching serial numbers and was made 2 months before the war's end. Does anyone have this gun? I imagine it is (((somewhat))) rare so I was wondering what I should do with it? I have always been fascinated by guns and always wanted one but have no idea how to properly care nor preserve them.
tldr: anyone have this gun and if so, got any suggestions?
>>32022977
"Beer at" is supposed to be newfag. Phone fag, here
Okay, first off, once you get the gun, make sure to clean and oil it. Apply a thin layer of oil to any exposed metal on the gun. And wipe it down any time you touch it to prevent surface rust from forming. If you don't already know how to field strip it, find resources online.

I found a video detailing the process for you. Other than the basics of maintaining old rifles, I'm not familiar with the 1917 specifically.
>>32023214
Yeah, the 1917 seems to not be as popular as the mighty 1903 but it seems like a nice rifle. I've held it in my hands already and it's decent weight. Never shot it before because since it was my Grandpa's, he didn't know how to maintain it and therefor didnt want to ruin it. Thanks for the video, btw. I'm looking forward to maintaining and eventually, shooting this gun.
Hey guys, I had some down time at work this morning, so I decided to take some pictures of a few of the cool antique guns we have sitting around, waiting to be cataloged. Feel free to add any/p/ro-quality shots you may have of your own funs.
First up, the Maynard Carbine.
Sharps carbine.
Does this work as a military outfit?
>>32022420
That is easily one of the three worst movies I've ever seen, worse than Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. So much possibility and nothing but a let down, absolutely terrible, boring and even a little painful to watch with no redeemable quality at all, an affront to the concept of entertainment and completely, utterly not even achieving a level good enough to be called rubbish. Calling it dumb, pedantic, uninspired would all be too kind. You could find a way to put syphilis in a retail package and charge $200 for it and you'd still have a better product than this horrid disappointment.
>>32022420
Whoever produced that movie is a grade a asshole of the highest order.

i wish i was a qt gun girl like her
What are the odds I get a girlfriend close to my age who likes guns and such?
Seems like most I meet- more women than anything- have drunk the libtard kool-aid, with the self-righteous bitchy tone of "Why do you NEEED [Insert item here]?"
Do I have to settle for a trap (Settle because I want to have children someday) or even barring that, wait until VR is good enough so I can go live with the animes?
Sorry for autism. I'm pretty sure the female population here is >0.5%.
>>32022389
3 to 1odds
>>32022389
find a libertarian girlfriend
>>32022389
I was going to answer you until you mentioned settling for a trap.
You're gay, so yeah, just go full gay.
What are the bare necessities of a modern fighting rifle?
>Modern
Depending on your stance over what a "modern" rifle should provide, the details can vary.
>>32022361
A sling.
Fite me.
sling
can anyone ID the gear in this photo?
Preferably the jacket
>>32022270
That is from a video game.

That's a pack of cigarettes on his head. I think Marlboro Menthol Silvers

>doesnt know about baby seal clubbing
So Palmetto S.A. is offering an AK47 that they have manufactured in house.
Opinions? Anybody ever test fire or own one of these? How do they compare to imported versions?
>>32022174
They generally fail after shooting 1,000 bullets. But some times they can fail sooner or even 75,000 bullets later. But also it is an AK pattern so you have to keep it in mind when you go on to think of the ramifications that come with such statements.
>>32022174
I haven't been able to fingerfuck one yet, but my friend has one and loves it. Reviews I've seen on them have been good.

classically diametrically opposed replies.
What's the best Height, Weight, and Body Type for pistol shooting?
I hear people say that upper-manlet sizes are best, discounting every other factor, is this true?
>>32022110
You're either seeking validation for being a manlet, or setting up thread to brag being over 6 feet, which is it?
It's obvious. Inb4 all that.
>>32022110
The kind where you lift.
>>32022110
This is the most nonsensical question I've ever seen on /k/.
Can you hold the gun with two hands?
Good. You can shoot it.

New thread when?
Get the word out so the GOP can't pay lip service to rewarding us for giving them undivided government.
As all of you know, the NFA is, ostensibly, a tax. Did you know that there's an existing loophole that allows for the repeal of a tax that is absolutely filibuster-proof? It's called Reconciliation, and it's the weird process that they used to pass Obamacare.
Demand that they add a repeal of the Hughes Amendment to the HPA, and that they pass is via reconciliation. Hold any elected official to the fire if they try to pass it via normal means where the Democrats can filibuster it.
>>32021828
>Bureaucrats hate him! Learn this one weird trick to get any gun you want.
Can any lawfags confirm this or is OP a raging faggot?
Itd work if they had 60 votes in the senate
>>32021999
that's if you pass a bill via normal means. Some bills can pass via reconciliation, and you only need 51 votes for those: debate is limited to 24 hours, tops to pass. Since the NFA is technically a tax, amendments to it can be passed via reconciliation and bypass the standard process.
Looking at a NAA Guardian 380 with wood grips and tritium sights as my first cc, what do you think /k/?
Bump
>>32021637
Held one before, wasn't a fan. Looks nice though.
>>32021637
There's better options but if that's what YOU LIKE then go for it. That's all that matters.
What the he'll is this? It's been around my whole life. My father claims his uncle took it from japan during ww2. It's rough tip is broken off and the sheath is fucked up due to my father throwing it around as a kid. It stands about 7 feet tall with the blade being about 3 foot. I could never figure out what it is. I'll dump more pics.
Bump, for interest
Have any of you /k/ommandos ever had to pull your CC to protect yourself? What was it like and how did you react?
There was a woman being raped in an alley and I came from the shadows and drew my glock 19 gen 4 loaded with 15 rounds of Speer gold dot and I said sternly to back off and he ran off and then the girl hugged and thanked me and fell in love with me. A year later were we're married and her father paid for the wedding (wealthy man) and a year after that we had 2 blonde hair blue eyed boys and they all see me as their personal hero and love me very much and they are going to vote trump in 2020 they weren't old enough this election.
>>32021426
The one day I wasn't carrying my CCW because I was running in a hurry so i wouldnt be late dor work. Some beaner pulled out a gun and aimed it at me due to road rage. It's even worse because it was HIS fault, he's another one of those Californians who are probably undocumented and don't even know the rules of the road.
Became racist right there and then. And carry without fail, luckily I was able to drive away from the situation as he got out his car towards me.
