Are M1A Scout Squads too expensive? Is there anything similar at the $1500 price point that isn't a built up AR? Convince me not to buy one please.
>>29903659
Depends. Is this your first rifle, can you find/do you have the ammo for it, and can you afford it?
>>29903659
>Convince me not to buy one please.
The only reason SA is able to get away with making people pay ~$1600 for their Made in Brazil casting jobs is because cheap competition was blocked from importation. There's not only better rifles in general to be had for its pricepoint, it's not even the best of its contemporaries.
>>29903659
Huh? Why don't you want a AR-10 in .308? They'll be more accurate, cheaper, lighter, easier to moint optics. Basically superior in every way.
Reasons not to buy an M1a:
Canadian recievers
Korea parts throughout including op rods that are known to snap off
fugg eye relief this gun has stopping powah
muh wood that will shift zero every cleaning
tldr, AR-10s exist and are vastly superior. My m14 is basically just a collectable/meme since I don't see a point in 7.62 NATO anymore unless it's belt fed.
Why aren't the Navy SEALS part of the Marines?
Anal beads
Why aren't the Marines part of the Army?
Because the marines belong to the Navy just like the seals do.
What's up /k/ommando?
I found a plastic threaded plastic pipe, which luckily fits on my new rifle.
Since I ever wanted a fake-silencer I thought I could actually attach this to my rifle.
Problem is, I am scared it will blow up and burst into my (or others) face if I shoot, because it is made of plastic.
I'm shooting a 7.5x55 Swiss
Will it hold or are there any tricks on how to improve it?

Wear eyepro. Does it actually thread into the barrel? Chances are if it lasts one round it will hold for the near future.
>>29903339
Yeah it fits quite well
thinking of going innawoods, used this website to make a plan of stuff I will bring.
Rate my setup, and what should I change?

Why the gas mask?
You are dropped into the Chernobyl Zone of Alienation with one firearm of your choice. You will have to survive in the Zone for the next ten years. You will be given a supply of 100 rounds of ammo per year. What gun do you take?
My vote goes for Winchester Model 70 Alaskan in 30-06.
Pros:
>powerful enough for the Zone's many bears
>accurate enough for long range deer hunting.
>almost never jams
>iron sights are reliable.
>>29902947
I don't need a gun,the zone will accept me for what I am.
I'd rather have some anti rad pills, thank you very much.

>>29902852
Stop being gay.
>>29902852
He doesn't like us?
To be like you?
Well, we could take away all his guns, and maybe give him a lobotomy.,
So is this ACTUALLY happeing or is it still going to be years before it ever shows up? (if it ever does)

What advantages would a raptor grip give me over a full stock?
Are you really so retarded that you can't see there are no advantages to a raptor grip over a conventional stock, other than one handing/badassness? Nogunz get out
I just bought sharp point steel pellets for my air rifle
cant wait to shoot a cat with them
>>29902604
the raptor grip is easier to insert into your anus than a full stock.
Google didn't gave me good answer or very precise information, so I want to hear what /k/ thinks.
How many calories must a soldier consume each day? and how many if he is in mission?
Do temperatures affects the need of calories? and special nutrition?
In how many formats should a modern military provide food?(MREs, First Strike, Trays, etc)
How diverse should the options be to not affect negatively the troops morale?
>>29902585
Was muhreen not soldier.
I'd say on average 1500 calories, maybe more if intense training. Which means pick and choose what you want and throw out the rest. Plus you bought a Monster and based mom mailed you some beef jerky in her care package XoXo baby boy.
>>29903576
>1500 calories
That's only enough to maintain basic bodily functions without losing weight, for most men. Add in physical activity, and you're losing A LOT of weight very quickly.
1500 calories a day is only good if you're dieting.
For intense physical training like BUD/s and the like they say around 4000 calories a day with a large percentage coming from carbs, protons in the middle, and fats the least
Dem carbs man
I need help IDing a pistol. A friend of mine asked me hoping I would know, and I don't have any idea.
It says "Hergestellt In Deutschland", leading me to believe its a Manurhin of some sort but i'm turning up nothing. Help a brother out please.
>>29902416
>>29902404
Definitely an air pistol of some variety. Looking for specifics now.
What's your favorite kind of gun/weapon in general?
For me it must be the full size service pistols since they are literally good for everything.
>16+ rounds in the mag
>comfortable
>great in CQB
>come in all calibers and brands
>never cost more than 1250$
>cheap ammo
>can be concealed if you try hard enough
>FUCKING SEXY
>more prestigious to kill someone with
>>29901990

Milsurp. The heavier the better.
Alright so! I picked up this mother fucker for $200 with everything you see here.
It's a Sig SP2340, .40S&W. Got a LE Box, 3 mags, 3 different grips and the original owners manual.
And I can not, for the life of me, figure out how old this fucker is. There's no proof marks anywhere on the gun or grips, barrel, rail block, frame, literally anywhere. Called Sig, gave the guy the serial number, and he said "That...Doesn't sound like one of our guns. Oh, its a 2340? Yeah, that pre-dates my database."
So, serial number on this thing is SP0009xxx. That is literally the only identifying mark. Can anyone here help me out?
>>29901832
Sig Pro line started in 1998
Pretty sure 2340 was discontinued right around 2000 give or take.
>>29901832
>"That...Doesn't sound like one of our guns.
Got to love Sig customer support.
It's from before it was called the 2022 because of the contacts they got... Can't imagine it's more than 10 years old...
How light is too light for an aluminum AR-15 handguard?
Making AR's lighter is a big trend, but when do these weight savings result in a poorer functioning, less durable gun? Aren't these light handguards prone to deformation?
What say you, /k/?
>>29901742
its a balance between durability, weight, and cost. some dont mind giving up one aspect for another.
next question?
What is the purpose of the gun?
"Sub 60 oz AR project" Google it.
