/k/ I'm aware there's ways to clean a rifle after using corrosive ammo( hott water and dish soap or windex) . But isn't hoppes a better solution?
>>31797481
The ammo is corrosive because of the salts that are formed and deposited in the gun.
Water is excellent at dissolving and removing salts. Hot water even more so.
>>31797481
the point is that water dissolves and washes away corrosive salts. The reason its near-boiling is that it will evaporate fast. Windex, dish soap, whatever, is all pointless
Hoppes would be worse and more expensive
>>31797481
>But isn't hoppes a better solution?
I don't know, but it smells deliciously banana-biodiesely.
See this? Do your guns use it? Trash them. Sell them. Just get them away from you ASAP. A new era has begun. The age of the 9mm is over. The reign of .40 begins now. Swap that px4 storm for a px4 .40, that glock 26 for a 27, that 19 for a 23. You can let your woman use your old 9, if you wish.
>>31797406
Bout a decade too late for this troll anon.
Why use a 40 when you can have a 45?
>>31797422
Who says it's a troll? Men use .40 or greater. Weak nu-males use 9mm. Prove me wrong.
So what's the haps with the whole "don't fucking open carry" I keep hearing from /k/?
Is it taboo or something?
Do you guys find it cringey? Is it worse/better with a handgun rather than a long gun?
>>31797157
Because it's generally fat fucks, weebs, and senile old people who make the rest of us gun owners look bad.
In my opinion it can look douchey to OC a longgun unless you are about to go hunting or have some particular purpose.
The only profitable reason to ever open carry is because that's the only way you legally can
Otherwise it makes you an easy target for bad guys, bad press and badly informed people
Is there any point where a weapon (knife or firearm) should enter a domestic violence incident?
Is it legal if the weapon is used by a victim, a relative of the victim, or a third party?

I think the general consensus is that if another person is going to lose their life its ok to get involved. Maybe dont get involved in a random beating but just use your best judgement.
Unfortunately when you draw you pretty much become the aggressor, if you didnt see who started the fight then who do you know to shoot?

Just use a gun or the threat of violence to get someone else to do it.
You people always talk about how "the Second Amendment isn't about deer hunting," but as soon as someone like James Yeager suggests revolution, you turn on him. Sure, Yeager is an abrasive asshole. Sure, he looks like Buck Angel. Sure, he has some controversial opinions, but he's absolutely, undeniably right about the Second Amendment.
because deep down all but the most laser focused gun nuts know the general population is right: the second amendment was useful back when guns were the top weapon of mass destruction....and not so much anymore. Now the second amendment shelters the firearms collected for sport and self defense. The only way we can fight tyranny is by investing in the upbringing of good citizens that will not turn on their own people. Its the only defense the people have left against their government.
And this is a /pol/ question. Go post it there.

I think he's beating realistic. The US is one of the most stable nations on the planet, civil war simply isn't happen. It's ridiculous to the point of being hard to comprehend a scenario.
This is a general discussion thread for information about Western Volunteers currently engaged in combat operations in the middle east WITHOUT being part of a regular army force.
>>31796823
>How do they get there?
The first thing any western volunteer needs to realize about traveling to any conflict zone is that you will be denied access to the area almost immediately if it becomes apparent you are there to join combat operations.
This isn't a foreign legion, these are autonomous region self defense forces [i.e: Kurd Peshmerga forces] (being used as the tip of the spear) and tribal militia. These organizations are further backed by the Iraqi Government (and by default the standing military forces of Iraq) (Manpower/Armor/Airstrikes/Air Support) and Multinational Coalition forces (Armor/Airstrikes/Air Support/Logisitics/Ammo).
The organizations that accept Western Volunteers typically organize via Social Media, there is a vetting process, and all volunteers are selected based on what value they would bring to that organization.
There is no pay, even small allowances are unheard of, the volunteers buy all of their own weapons and equipment, it hasn't been unheard of that some units donate equipment they don't understand how to use directly to the volunteer in anticipation that they will know how to use it (laser guided sighting equipment, maps, PDAs, long range communications).
ISIS/Daesh currently advertises a bounty of $150,000 USD for any westerners killed inside any conflict area, regardless of occupation or activity.
Most all entry into conflict areas occurs from nearby countries, for example most volunteers going to the Peshmerga leave from Turkey and fly directly into the autonomous regions only airport, there the Peshmerga have control of the customs process and will not deny entry to volunteers they have been communicating with.

Cihan Kendal is a german national who joined the YPG organization and was promoted to the rank of Commander, he leads a 12 man squad in Syria near the Kobane region.
He had no formal military training and was an Antifa activist while he was still living in Germany.

Really wews my lads that people are so desperate to legally kill someone that they'd do all this bullshit. Or, even worse, they'd do all this bullshit because they prefer the cross brown people to the crescent brown people.
M1 garand noob here
There is a guy on armslist selling a garand for 900 bucks. It is a ratarian korean arsenal rebuild with non matching parts. The gas cylinder is loose but the rifle works fine. The receiver is dated 1941 and is a springfield. He says its not a CMP rifle and he has no idea about the erosion reading.
Is this a good deal?
There's also an m1D for sale for 970 but the erosion reading is 3 in the throat and 5 at the muzzle. I read that's pretty worn out.
Pic is the korean rifle
Here's the bore
>>31796695
I think that looks like a pretty decent bore, but I mostly lurk here and shoot .22's at paper so I don't know much about what the bore should look like.
>>31796701
I thought so too but I'm really looking for input from someone who knows about these rifles.

How do I convince her that kids and guns are a bad mix?
they aren't tho

Ur a cuck OP. Just dump her and find a woman who didn't burn coal.
How do I convince you that you should stop being a faggot
What sort of weapons should the public NOT be allowed to have? I'm assuming most of you don't think I should be allowed to own a private nuclear arsenal or a tanker of nerve gas, so you're at least open to the idea that some weapons should be banned in the interest of public safety. The hard part is pinning down exactly what kind of weapons. Is there a standard that can be applied for determining if a given weapon should be allowed or not?

Hello /k/
So i recently found myself with this mysterious gun in my possession, having absolutely zero experience with neither modern day guns or older ones, I thought I could check with my fellows at /k/. I'm from Sweden so I would guess that is is Swedish manufactured sometime between 1910-1960 but that's a very rough estimate and not really what I'm interested in, but all possible backstory is very much appreciated of course.
The gun has one marking on 2 places, both shown in the first pic(closeup incoming). Which is an "U" with two similar, but different crowns above the "U" and above each other.
So what do you think /k/? Is this of any interest to you at all?
And the last one.
The barrel is pretty tiny, I'm not sure if you'd get any pleasure from sticking it up your butt, but you should give it a try before you dismiss it completely.
Would you mind taking pictures?
Around 200 retired J-6/Mig-19 fighters are thought to have been converted to UAVs as B-6 (J-6W?) drones. The aircraft had the wing-root 30mm guns, ejection seat and other life support systems removed. New remote flight control, navigational (GPS?) and fire control systems including datalink were installed. They are believed to have been stationed in Southeast China facing Taiwan (S/N 794xx). Some B-6s are seen carrying two 250kg bombs under the wings, suggesting their role as low-cost ground attack UCAVs, or as cruise missiles or decoys to probe, disrupt even suppress enemy air defence systems. Therefore the guidance system might include passive radar homing for anti-radiation missions. It was rumored that a further upgraded variant has been developed with the cockpit completely removed. Depending on the cost, B-6 could be modified to fly additional missions including ELINT, ECM and laying naval mines.

Good morning atf or whatever. After having to ride in the damn things for the better part of a year I would have to say anywhere with trees will suck to be you. Visibility is your friend. Best of luck if you need it but honestly a normal looking pickup truck may be a better transport option.
