Testing my ar, drop the bolt, don't fire the round, and it comes out with a small dent on the primer. I'm assuming this something to be worried about. Basically a firing pin seated too far forward.
>>30636902
ARs have free floating firing pins, that happens on every AR ever made.
>>30636912
So nothing to be worried about?

Unless you refuse to give your AR some TLC and gunk built up inside the firing pin channel or you bought some real horrible ammo with baby soft primers, it's not a problem.
Also don't point your gun at a retarded direction anytime you have live ammo inside it.
And don't keep chambering that same round over and over again. Shoot it next time you're at a range.

Can we talk about 5.7x28?
I am interested in it because of its high capacity, accuracy, and the size, weight, handling and shooting characteristics of the Five-seveN and the PS90. But I have a couple of reservations: namely cost and lethality.
Please do not post about it being a .22 magnum. I already know this is false. But just how lethal is it? Searching around online leads me to two extremes: one that says "all the LEO/military guys say it takes a million rounds to kill someone with 5.7" and another that talks about the Ft. Hood shooting (anyone who was shot in the torso, even just once, died, the only survivors were those hit in the arms or legs) and hog hunting and how they took hogs with it in one shot or something. Does the truth lie somewhere in the middle?
Are our only real reservations about this cartridge cost and availability? If it were the same price as 9mm and just as available in stores, would the 5.7 see more use?
For concealed carry, I am happy paying a little more for ammo if it means I can hold 21 rounds on board in the same size as a 1911 with the weight of a Glock 26 and can split playing cards at 50 yards. But if those 21 rounds won't kill anyone... then I will choose something else.
Summoning the 5.7 tripfag as well. Also interested in people who own Five-seveNs and/or PS90s giving reviews on how they like them.
If you're going to carry a 1911 size carry a 1911. Because you know, 45ACP can stop. If your worried about size and weight, get a 4 inch.

I own a five seven and its a pretty fun gun. Doesn't server any real purpose though, too big too carry, poor for self defense in tight quarters cause it over penetrates iirc (can someone confirm this?).
That said its a blast to shoot even just at paper. Its accurate, recoil is very mild if not barely existent. Makes things explode well. I've recently been using it as a varmint gun at my cabin and its superb at that as well.
The gun physically is solid. Despite being polymer it feels like it can hold up to hell and back and nothing feels cheap (although it feels weird putting plastics mags in). The mag release isn't very smooth IMO either (but I've always preferred paddle style). Haven't had a chance to disassemble mine but I hear they can kinda be a pain.
I own a 5.7 MK2 and I like it, shoots great and honestly only plebs who live paycheck to paycheck complain about the price.
I have a concealable plate carrier and battle belt with custom magazine pouches and blade-tech OWB holster attached to belt which works great and doesn't bunch up like a tacticool setup would.
I wouldn't necessarily conceal carry it as I have other weapons I would rather do that with, but if I needed to strap on something quickly and have the ability to put rounds down range without worrying about emptying out, I would stick to this handgun until I could get to my actual battle rifle and plate carrier geared towards armed threats.
Everyone likes to complain about Ruger because "OMG THE TRIGGERS ARE NO GUD!".
Well, duh.
You think Ruger doesn't KNOW their triggers are bad? Yeah. They do. It's called a "litigious society", kiddos. Ruger makes their triggers with ridiculous amounts of positive engagement with absurdly high trigger pulls in order to win or avoid lawsuits. Other companies are willing to risk the lawsuits to capture a greater market share.
But if you say you hate Ruger because of the triggers, you're really just saying that you don't have the intelligence/education to make the simple modifications that turn an excellent gun for the price into a PHENOMENAL gun for the price.
There's really no excuse for being that willfully ignorant, is there?
I just did this to my 10/22 fcg last night. Polished several other contact points as well, like the trigger reset pin, hammer face and end, bolt top, bottom, and sides, receiver, etc.
Really REALLY slicked up the action, improved the trigger pull, and made it a great little rifle. It's not even hard. Never had tried it before.
I guess this thread is appropriate for my questions. I have a 10/22 and was wondering what would be a good red dot for it? Something in the $100 or so range.

Putting those rail extensions on SCARs are fucking ugly and people never even put shit on them
>>30636025
The handguard and carry handle. It just bothers me so much, even though I know they do their job.
>>30636135
What's even worse, is when they put a optic ontop of the carry handle.
It works, and it's the only real option when you don't have rails, but just......fuck, man.
People who put their vertical grips anywhere but the middle.
there are never any threads about race guns/competitive shooting
Let's change that. Poor fags need not apply

/k/ eschews competition.
Open is a money race that never ends. Competition in stock/production is where it's at.
>>30623641
Compete in production, have a buddy that shoots open, he's always dropping dough on his gun.
What pants do you wear on a regular basis /k/?
What do you usually wear in general?
cargos or jeans and a t-shirt with hiking boots
I am in a suit for the work week, I can get away with little more casual when I am doing late night body removals.
Sometimes like this, because I'm actual slavshit.

Mini 14 in 5.56 nato
Why are these so goddamn expensive?
A box new mini will run you like 980. A brain dead chimp could build an AR for much cheaper.
>>30630224
People who want a cheap poodle shooter will get an AR.
Those who want a traditionally stocked rifle in .223 is a much smaller group. They will pay more, as there really isn't competition. And there is no competition because there isn't that much demand
>>30630241
This
The mini14 is on my list because I want/need a semi auto 5.56 but don't particularly care for the ar platform with the exception of m16A1 clones that cost as much or more than the mini to build/buy
>>30630241
This.
There is little to no market for a 'civilian-style' semi-automatic rifle that you have to semi-extensively modify to make 'tactical'. In order to turn a profit, Ruger has to make the prices assblastingly high. I actually had a discussion with someone about how bad the prices were for these guns earlier today.
At least they're built like tanks and handle almost as good as the M1 Carbine (which is about the same size, a bit smaller, but feels similar).
Anything that goes on feets and is tacticool. Bonus points for reviews!
I personally prefer jungle boots, but they beat up your feet after a long day constantly on them, atleast for me. RAT Boots are probably one of the most comfortable boots i've ever owned, but they're heavy as hell. Looking for any reccomendations similar to this.
My jungles cracked after only a year, with a lot of maintenance. I bought these brand new at a surplus store, 1989 dated.
And my RAT boots wear differently than eachother after about a year of on/off use. Feels like im walking on sunshine while also having cement blocks for feet.
