Alright /k/ I have two mosin/gunsmithing related questions, also I promise I'm not trying to shitpost my mosin is the first gun that I've been the legal owner of.
1: Will I lose any accuracy or shot consistency if I ditch the stock past the rear barrel band? (pic related). I plan to glass bed the receiver, if that makes any difference.
2: Are there any consequences for simply dissembling the bolt and holding it in a steel vice grip and holding a high-heat torch and then bending it in order to mount a scope? I've done similar things with rebar in the past so I'm fairly competent, and I also don't care if they bolt gets discolored from the heat.
Also pic related isn't actually my mosin, just a 91/30 I found on google images.
Ivan will not be happy

Ivan can suck a fat one I paid 115$ for this. No hex bolt or anything fancy on mine so I'm not worried about messing it up.
Are there other games like arma that wont kill my computer?
>>30759707
No.
Arma 2?
Insurgency, red orchestra 2, and squad
>Held a FAL today.
>found out stock was too short for my length of pull.
>Same thing with a H&K and M16A2 spec AR.
>TFW 3ft long arms.
Were modern military rifles designed for manlets?
Can't speak for Western ones but Soviet ones absolutely were. It was a magnificent feat of attempted social/biological engineering.
>>30759699
I feel you bro, I'm 6'5" so dat collapsible stock is the only way to go.
I can handle my AKM just fine, but it was obviously intended for some subhuman manlet creature dated prior to Neanderthals.
>>30759747
Second that on the AKM. I'm only 6' and it's still way too short
Lets talk about carrying big guns.
>owb in winter. Does it hide well? Is it more comfortable than iwb?
>is there a best holster? I hear raven concealment is popular, but fuck that wait time. How about that crossbreed supertuck? Seems popular with normies.
>>30759669
I'm in Florida and conceal a P229 EE in a crossbreed supertuck, no problem. Just tuck in a wifebeater as an undershirt. The supertuck is really comfortable btw.
>>30759669
Sig P220 in a OWB holster with a button up shirt all day in 105 heat with no problem
>>30759669
I carry a Sig P226 IWB using an Alien Gear holster in winter. Its cheap and its fairly comfortable.
No innawoods thread? Let's fix that.
>>30759660
How do we-- America, the world-- fare at fending off an alien invasion?
Depends on alot of different factors. Likely they would be very hard to detect without focus and an eye for it. Seemingly been here since the beginning though from the artistic depictions... Kinda makes ya wonder.
We don't. If the ayys have the technology to cross the vast gulf of the cosmos to make it to Earth, then the human race was fucked before it even came into existence.

That feel when you come home and see this shit in your local grocery store

>Shivers uncontrollably

>commissary no longer sells rip-its
Fuck you all AAFES, and fuck Andrews too
>>30759481
Your pic gave me an idea. What is at: rip.it?
Opinions? Would this be a good first rifle?
>>30759421
what an ugly rifle, kill yourself wanker
>>30759421
Yes, Ruger's mini series is overpriced but decent. I just hate that they have proprietary magazines. BTW when buying a Mini14 you should avoid pre-2005 models, I don't know if the same applies for the Mini30.
Post cool weaponry factoids, mates
>factoids
.45>9mm
>>30759396
>they both kill
Why does it even matter? They're both doing the exact same thing. If anything, the 9mm is better because it doesn't make as big a mess as the .45. Just use HPs with the 9mm, for fucks sake, faggot.

The M1 Garand is the manliest firearm ever devised. It has been known to make gay men straight and make women spontaneously orgasm just by being in close proximity.
Just bought one of these bad lads. How bad did I fuck up??
If it's Masterpiece Arms it shouldn't be bad. Cobray build ones are questionable.
>>30759153
Unless it's full retard, you fucked up bad.
>>30759153
If it's from MPA go online and purchase the old style hammer, the disconnecter on the new ones is shitty and doesn't last. They can be quite accurate out to 100 yards if you're shooting with a sling like pic related.
Hello /k/, /m/ here.
What real gun is this Zaku's gun based on? How big is the clip? Would something like that actually work?
>>30759126
your /m/ and you don't know shit about the zaku? fuck off summerkid.
Idk what gun specifically, but there's no reason a shoulder mounted Lewis gun wouldn't work. Dumb idea practically speaking though, shoulder weapons have all the problems of bullpups with the ergos of a folding ladder.
>>30759126
Originally it was based off an M16, but they changed it to be more generic pew pew gun later on.
I never hear much about these on /k/? Whats the consensus on them? Do they perform as well as the original SVD?
I live in CT so there are only so many modern guns I can buy that don't have to be absolutely neutered before I get my hands on them.
>>30759097
They were OK when they were cheap
They don't measure up to an SVD at all. Get a VEPR in 54R if that's what you want
PSLs have been known to have varying degrees of accuracy, and reliability. Contrary to the appearance, a PSL is not an SVD clone. You'd be better off with a Vepr.
>>30759141
>>30759132
I just hate how the sporterized look of the VEPRs. How easy would it be to throw an SVD wood kit on one of those.
I live in the US and these guys seem to have good prices on Bakelite mags which I am in desperate need of. Is it legal to buy from these guys since they are based in the UK? If so what is you guys' experience with them?
Also Bakelite thread.
Of course it is, why the fuck wouldn't it be m8?
I buy surplus shit from Russia all the time.
As long as you don't trade with the government you're fine.
>>30759053
Thanks my dude, how long should I expect it to take to get from the UK to Freedomland?
>>30759021
A: see >>30759053
>Of course it is, why the fuck wouldn't it be m8?
B: why would you not just send an email to the company?
My buddy wants to pick up an entry level AR soon, and I've suggested a Ruger AR556 or an M&P15 Sport. I have a Saiga AK, but don't know a ton about ARs.
Ruger is $579, and M&P is $629 at the local funstore.
What would /k/ recommend?
>>30758920
Move along, nothing to see here
>>30758920
The Riger is solid, but it's not milspec due to every part being changed a little with a Ruger logo stamped on it.
The S&W is milspec and about the same quality. Though that price is just a little on the high side for one.
i have a couple AR's one being a ruger 556. took it out of the box and shot a few hundred rounds ran great no issues.
the front sight post is stamped aluminum and kinda weird
the hand guard is also a lot slimmer than a traditional m4 carbines.
barrel and flashhider are their own sort of thing as well.
1:8 twist rate isnt bad either way and the internals are all milspec so id say go for it if he doesnt want to just pick up an upper parts kit or something.
Can you really beat an American carrier strike force with a bunch of swarming PT boats just like in the Millennium Challenge wargame?
>>30758626
No.
>>30758626
>>30758708
the Iranians sure seem to think so
>>30758725
Oh fuck, I didn't realize the country that is practically first name in military technology and world power projection had already assessed the situation let me change my answer to a resounding YES!
