Thinking about buying my first bolt action, any recommendations? I would like a Mosin, but they're no longer $50.
Just buckle up with money and save for a Remington 700, there are like 25 options you can get, just check Remington's website. Another good choice is the Browning X-Bolt

Savage axis.
Remington 783 in .308. $360 out the door with a mounted scope.
This is the new general thread for California meetups, as we have a couple different things coming up, these threads will usually be posted up on Fridays, but this one is going up early.
UPCOMING MEETUPS:
Tuesday, June 7th at the Sunnyvale Rod and Gun range in Cupertino, CA.
Friday, June 24th to Sunday, June 26th at a ghost town near Quincy, CA.
Seperate SoCal meetup in planning stages.
>Why no really specific info for the Quincy meet?
If you are interested in coming out to the Quincy meet we'd much rather you join our Slack channel, where we can coordinate carpool and who-brings-what in depth, these things take a lot of coordination with this meet taking a lot in particular.
To join Slack, either post a burner in this thread or send an email to kbrandoncali -at- gmail.com.
Our new meetup schedule is likely to be:
Monthly range meets centered in the Bay Area, either at the Cupertino or Livermore ranges
Big overnight events on BLM land every 3 months, possibly alternating between Northern, Valley, and SoCal locations.
GHOST TOWN MEET INFO
THE PLAN:
On Friday, the setup day, a /k/onvoy will be assembled and proceed north to Plumas County from the assembly point in Lodi, where anons from further south will be
able to park their cars for the weekend and shift gear and bodies to vehicles going the whole way. It is requested you bring a two-way radio to communicate with the
rest of the /k/onvoy, but one will be provided if you do not own one. Radios will be used for calling a halt if somebody needs to piss, calling out road hazards and
directions, and general chatter between vehicles.
The carpool schedule is as follows:
The /k/onvoy assembles in Lodi, CA, in the parking lot of Denny's earlier than 10:00 AM, and departs at 10:30 AM. Address is 701 E Kettleman Ln
The /k/onvoy makes a scheduled stop at the Burger King in Oroville for refueling and lunch, arriving around noon. Address is 855 Oro Dam Blvd E
And finally, the /k/onvoy will arrive at the site around 2:30 PM, and proceed with all the joy and merriment and such. SEE SLACK FOR MORE INFORMATION AND EXACT LOCATION.
Once the /k/onvoy arrives at the site, we will park, unload, and set up camp equipment for the evening. A short, evening shoot will be had before dinner.
On Saturday, the shooting range opens in earnest, and a hike will be organized for anons so inclined. Meals will be cooked and eaten in camp, and we will
be packing up on Sunday evening.
Got questions? Ask em.

Now this is a monthly meet that Wumbo is heading up, and it's a great place to start coming if you've never been to a meetup in general or the California meets in particular. He's going to be there from noon 'till 8PM for those who work for a living, just look for the lanky fella wearing nothing but flecktarn.

During our scouting trip to determine whether the Ghost Town was suitable we took some video, which you can find here: https://vimeo.com/165378257
The US Army will move ahead with a tender to replace the M9 with the Modular Handgun System.
Down select for three manufacturers later this year. No word on calibre, but it seems it'll either be 9x19mm or .40 S&W.
Those offering:
Beretta - APX
CZ - P-09
FN Herstal - Five-Seve Mk 2
Glock - Glock 17/22
SIG Sauer - P320
Smith & Wesson - MP
Which three would you down select?

Ditto. Maybe CZ instead of Beretta but I trust both.

I'm going to a LGS to buy a CCW today. What would you buy? I've finger-fucked everything at this point and it all feels good so I can't make a decision. pic related is the budget.
>>30134455
Shield
btw will take pictures when I get back. I'll leave within a couple of hours after I get some recommendations. I'm basically buying what /k/ tells me.
>>30134496
Seconding the Shield, spend the rest on a box or two of good defensive ammo and some for pinking.
You're now completely in charge of the Russian Air Force.

I live in a cucked country where owning pic related is impossible, however, through word of mouth I heard people have been buying airsoft guns and scrapping the internals and replacing them with ruger 10/22 internals essentially making the 10/22 into whatever gun they want. Now my question is: is this safe? I know plinkers aren't that powerful but I had an airsoft gun in highschool and they didn't feel very solid. After a little research I found out that they make pic related in airsoft but with a full metal body, should I do it? What precautions should I take? Is there parts of the gun I should reinforce in the garage some how? Thanks.

That sounds like the kind of thing a noguns would say to other noguns to seem hasguns. If anything I'd say that people are just finding shells that simply fit over a standard 10/22, I've heard of people doing something similar with toy guns & pocket pistols.
I'm pretty sure that someone makes a .22LR MP5 copy, you may as well get that instead of dicking around with toys.

>That sounds like the kind of thing a noguns would say to other noguns to seem hasguns.
I own an sks. But that's besides the point.
Nobody makes 22lr clones of that where i live which is the whole reason I made this thread.
Nogunz here, newly living in a place that allows firearms. I've fired a bunch of other people's guns so I know what I like, and I'm ready to start buying my own. Which of these should I get first?

How can a company put so little effort into research? Am I the only annoyed by the constant laziness being displayed in their depiction of WWI?
because they dont fucking care.

Because unless it's doing any of those I couldn't give a shit. I might go and compliment his flying contraption.

Anon is one of the most important components of /arg/. If Anon was gone, then /arg/ would cease to exist.
It would be like having no firing-pin in your AR and attempting to shit it. Anon is that firing-pin and /arg/ is the AR.

Doesn't mean a shit. "Early reports" of the aurora shooter claimed him to be armed with an AKs74u specifically, by name. Early reports without sources are literally blind stabs in the dark.
Battalion level edition. Could you equip a battalion sized element of infantry with copies of your gear? Would they be effective? What would the privates bitch about? How expensive would it be?
Im pretty sure everyone would bitch about tubes, and someone's going to rip their 6/12 webbing. I think everything else would be pretty well received. Saw gunners and ammo bearers would NEED a bigger belt.
Custom gear options is basically Special Forces.
Clearly a standarization of personalised equipment doesnt work and that's why SF has relative freedom of gearing up.
It would be more effective than standard issue, but you can't get past the personal taste and allocation of stuff that will never work for everyone.

Repasting. I'm taking my kit out on a hike along with my MR pack today. Nice and light. I really, really love how light and balanced the belt feels now.
I'm be grabbing some new armor soon. I already have an IBA but my chest is too big to let me close the top, and a custom made plate carrier from a friend but it was his first attempt and it has no features or MOLLE. Pretty sure I';; either rebuy a PIG or a Mayflower.
