Lighter and stronger materials are available. Any shape is a trade off but helmet mounted optics work better without a visor.

Modern helmets offer better protection than straight steel.

Also it's association with the Wehrmacht under the Nazi party.

CUZ DA GNATZIES ARE EBIL, also, there has been a bit of progress in helmet design.

This isn't a surprise to anybody

Nor does anyone care

Looks like I better invest in HK stocks.

>>31935967
Oh great, more countries with AR-15 variants. Let me know when someone adopts something interesting.

>notice primer has firing pin marks but no bang

What ammo?

Cry for help bump!

From my research it seems like it could be a multitude of factors:

Weak hammer spring
Shitty extractor and/or ejector
The mag itself (Note: using Magpul polymer mags)
Over-gassed
Bolt not closing properly

...But I have no idea. Like I said, first semi-auto rifle.

Experienced the same thing with both types of ammo...

you're too late

>>31934913
That windham weaponry one will be way overpriced.

Make your own and stash it under some floor boards or in a ceiling.

You could build, but just know if you want to keep it legal with the BB entering 2017 you need to register it.

When I was going to buy an AR-7, /k/ told me (long with many other forums and sites) it was shit. Unreliable, bulky, not very well made (the Henry version, at least).

The TD 10/22 on the other hand is supposedly great and lots of people like it.

Personally if I wanted a very small, compact rifle for a hiking bad, I'd buy one of the Crickett rifles for kids, pull off the stock and build a skeleton stock out of a hollow piece of PVC pipe, which the barrel and action can fit inside. A simple as shit single shot bolt action will always fire, while a semi-auto rifle may fire, but there's a chance it could break or not work when I need it. Less moving parts at least, in my opinion.

>>31934890
Came here to say exactly this.

If I were seeking a super-light pack&trail gun/meat-getter, 100% I'd take the Li'l Crickett. Heck, I'd even take it in its standard furniture. Making a neato stowaway stock like this anon suggests would make it even cooler.

Y'know, not trying to be a hater at all, but I'm not really sure what the takedown 10/22 is good for...?

It's cool as hell, no doubt, and impeccable quality by all accounts, but it's the same weight as a regular 10/22 and not really *that* compact, to be brutally honest.

Take into account the price increase over a conventional 10/22, and... I dunno.

>>31934725

400 dollars for a 9mm carbine would sell very easily.

>>31934725
I'd buy the shit out of some receiver tubes.

>>31934725
for 400 bucks I would buy one.

>>31934314
so what. i'll have 1 more rifle and 5000 more rounds. and you have....?

>>31934320
Money?

>>31934330

Gun appreciates in value, money depreciates.

Come on anon, don't give up hope yet, Donald Trump may yet save us from the great happening.

>>31934244
he is polling really high in the mail in and early votes in florida which republicans rarely do. If he has the right turnout he will take florida and then there is a decent chance.

I feel like i'm dying inside now.

Btw I'm only half autistic, the gloves and knife were for recycling day

>>31934041

Maybe you should stop being a faggot, wear some pants that are made for your size.

You also look like trash.

>>31934041
I rock a fanny pack. But I don't have all that weird shit tied to it.

>Is this thing cringy?

Yes.

/gq/ hates that style of vest

I have the same one! the Cross Draw Holster can be replaced with more mag pouches and be be used as a hip holster.

I can post pics if you want.

This is when I noticed the dimples....and how they catch the lip of the shell, preventing the extension. A quick Google search informed me to drill them out then sand the holes smooth...

The thought of drilling my firearm was a little unnerving but meh.
>>Gets ballsy

Not to hard I thought. I can do this.

A polymer lower? Really? Get yourself a real man's lower and learn how to google, the information you want is literally a search away.

>>31932895
>I'm going for a polymer lower (not 80%) for weight reduction.
yes buy something that will break and will be hard to replace later on for minimal weight savings
good plan

>>31932895
try cal guns.
