They're really great guns despite being dated desu. The truth is, if these guns were being sold as dirt cheap $300 surplus anons would be calling them garbage and building AR-15s instead. We see swiss anons clamoring for budget tier AR-15s all the time at well above tangible value. Same thing with the Swiss guns stateside.

So I currently own a few pistols and rifles, but for a self defense purpose a pistol isn't very reliable to instantly take down an attacker (you have to hit the central nervous system)

Stun guns can provide an instant take down, but they also aren't always guaranteed. I see videos all the time of cops using them on some drugged up dude and the suspect not going down.

So, my question is. Is this because cops aren't allowed to use a taser that's over a certain power threshold since they are supposed to be non-lethal? Are there stun guns on the market (or are you able to modify them in such a way) that would almost give you a 100% result on a take down by increased voltage/amps?

Get a tsun gun instead. They can be imported cheaply, are legal even in Japan, and can shoot up to 600 deres per minute.
>>
>>30607333
Not really, more a question of proper deep skin contact. A more reliable stun gun would fire fuck off large prongs at very high speed. Of course that would cause ugly lacerations and might fuck up a body part by going too deep.
>>
Just want to add, I'm basically looking for a way to guarantee a take down before someone could return fire on you. With a pistol you most likely aren't dropping them immediately so there is a good chance you get shot back at.

My thought was with a stun gun you probably have a better shot instantly stopping them, and you could also carry something like a bond arms snake slayer, tase them, pull out the snake slayer and pop them in the head.

According to that other thread, 99% of situations where shots are fired, only use 1-2 rounds.

This would be so much easier to actually pocket carry and conceal in casual clothes.

Anybody use one?

No because that would feel horrible in your hands and likely shoot for shit. Just get a pocket 380 with an actual magazine and ergonomics that don't feel like shit. They don't print at all in your pocket.

This may be a really dumb question, but bear with me

If the velocity of .308 is 940 meters per second
And the velocity of 5.56 is the same

Why do people use 308 instead of 556 for precision rifles?

Because one bullet is bigger? Jesus even a no guns can figure this out if he paid attention to middle school physics.

Obviously the wind will move it less. And it delivers more energy. And travels a longer distance.

Fire both at a range, you'll figure out the difference very quickly.

Any way to get one of these beautiful guns? It's basically my holy grail at this point to find. I'm willing to spend 1,500-2,000 yet I can't find a seller that doesn't high ball or have bidding online. Sucks they stopped imports long ago of these, any way to petition to Finnish government to send us some of their surplus ones? I mean they have rifles in both 556 and 762 might as well pick a caliber or just modernize.

only SCAR and MG3 that came with the Leopards shoot 5.56. And we arent letting go of any of our RK62 or RK95 because we dont have surplus, but rather we dont have enough of either of them. Sako still might have some parts of the production line stashed somewhere, but you would need to petition Beretta to start making them again and with exporting them to America being a pain in the ass and market for rifles like this being small in Europe there is basically a no chance of you getting new one, ever.

And we did start to modernize them recently

Is the Mosin Nagant truly the best shooter for the money?

I thought Mosins were just a meme but once I started looking into buying a bolt-action rifle, I realized that it's not easy finding a decent rifle that can shoot all day without overheating. Not unless you want to spend an asston of money.

Do I go for a Ruger American? Or a hex M39?

> I realized that it's not easy finding a decent rifle that can shoot all day without overheating. Not unless you want to spend an asston of money.
Actually it is easy. Just go with milsurp guns instead of bench queens. The Mosin Nagant will survive nearly anything but make damn sure you get the bolt working smoothly every time before you take it in the woods.
>>
>>30605756
>Is the Mosin Nagant truly the best shooter for the money?
Go back even a couple years and the answer would probably be yes.
Nowadays surplus 54r is twice the price and so are mosins.
>>
>>30605904
So does that mean a m39 isn't a good buy for $350? What other decent shooter can I get for under $500?

Fun gun. Accurate, good irons, great history, heavy...though it is a battle rifle.

Price of ammo and mags will aggravate you over time regardless of how much money you have. Buy in bulk if possible. There is still very good surplus floating around but don't overpay for it. Unfortunately its been so long since I've purchased 7.62Nato in bulk that I don't know what "overpay" means any longer.
>>
>>30605714
Not op but what are your thoughts on using strippers at first until I get a deal on 7.62? I am aware it is less practical than changing mags but dammit it is fun
>>
>>30605736

nothing wrong with strippers for casual shooting

So what's the soundtrack to war in Afghanistan?

So I bought an Ishapore 2a 1965 7.62 NATO a few days ago. I posted a thread but I still have an issue that I haven't found much about online.

When chambering a new round (loading one at a time because magazine spring is dead) it is very difficult to lock bolt into battery.. I've heard about screwing the bolt head farther down?

Also it has a pretty nasty coat of black paint all over it and it's dirty. I know I want to clean it and I've read a few different ways to do so, but should i also strip the paint and re-coat? Pic related is a gun with no paint, I'll post mine next for comparison

There's apparently an ongoing/long time debate about .308win vs 7.62 NATO. this gun is rated for milspec 7.62 NATO and because of a generous headspace it's not"recommended" to fire .308 commercial

Anyone know a cheap brand of milspec 7.62 or lightish loaded 308? I've found ZQI and I'm wondering about steel case Tulammo or brown bear

Ishapore is the worst of the Lee Enfields

Any guesses of how long this facog would last on a 556 AR? Would it be worth the $29 to test it, or should I save for a nice vortex or burris? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Trijicon-ACOG-1x32-crosshair-Green-and-Red-dot-Scope-with-red-dot-sight-Tactical-Shooting-Hunting/32652975763.html

First time I shot an AR, it had a trs on it. They're great little sights, but they just don't look right on a full size rifle. I would highly recommend them.
