>I'm of the opinion that aftermarket magazines for any gun are shit outside of the group of most well known manufactuers (Pmags, Lancers, etc.)

Yet you bought a bunch.

>>29755404
Well if they turn out to be not shit then i got 4 decent mags for not that much $

>>29755407
If they're bad, just wait until Hillary is elected and sell for 20-30 a pop

.22LR or .303.

Bear in mind that this is Australia and we are absolutely cucked.

My uncle who lives in rural Victoria owned about a dozen guns back in the day, now officially only has one. Rumour has it that he still has an L1A1 but I doubt it because that would mean prison time.

>>29755352
Is .223/5.56 not common there?

>>29755352

Really? Not many people I know have 303. A lot have 308.

shameless self bump

needs help /k/

some people have the trigger issue with the vepr on other forums say to replace the spring or trigger group altogether. I could do the work at home, if I knew what to do. Would this be necessary? Or should I take advantage of the manufacturer warranty? Also maybe I shouldn't have labeled this thread as SAM7, when the sAM was great except the easy to release stock, but the vepr had problems.

qt for reply

Because I live in a freedom respecting state and they don't have buybacks.

Because I'm poor and won't be able to for awhile..

>>29755105
They're quite a bit cheaper now since classic firearms ordered a lot, I ordered one just because the last time I saw one available to me was for like 650 and it was in kentucky or somewhere where the seller wouldn't ship.

>>29755027
Sorta, but not really.

They do their job just fine. The best gun is thr gun you're best with. And if that's a revolver, you're good to go.

I think /k/ over thinks revolvers.

are scissors obsolete

The x is the version of the firearm. The y is the sub model. For example, M16 (version) A4 (sub model). In other words, it's the 4th "update " of the m16.

MxAy
x = number in series
y = model changes

Starts at M1 for each item at about start of WW2, so:
M1 rifle = Garand, then lots of experimental numbers XMxEy where X is 'eXperimental' and 'E' instead of A for changes... until eventually new M14 Rifle, then M15 fullauto variant.... then M16, M16A1, M16A2 etc etc.... so next replacement rifle should be M17 in about another 50 years...

M1 Carbine is first WW2era short rifle, then with change of folding paratroop stock is M1A1 Carbine, with major change to fullauto is M2, then IR sniperscope variant is M3 Carbine... no more carbines until short version of M16 Rifle is named as M4 Carbine, then add rails to be M4A1... so if there is a short variant of the M17 or a new carbine design it should be M5...

There's a thing I don't get, though.
Let's say you take an M4, an M16 and then an M14. What does the M14 have in common with the other two? And yet it's in between them. It's not like it's an upgraded M4. Also, what does the 'M' and 'A' stand for? I can't seem to get the acronym.

>>29754791
it's called an AR18 you dumb cunt

>>29754797
AA-12: Blowback, open bolt
AR-18: Short stroke piston, rotating bolt

>Calling people dumb cunts

>>29754791
dude...there are litterally hundreds of rifles and pistols that function like this.

>>29754774

The same as with every knock off.
But still, the best T-72 variant is M-84.

It was produced 1971 as a low cost MBT.

lol that bitch looks so thick, I thought it was supposed to be boolitproof.

Or just fucking lie and join anyways

well there is a few snazzy pump action rifles being released this year.

Dont forget the IAC, and the Marlin 336 .410.
brings the total to 7.

>>29754661
the IAC I'd just call the 1887

and yes technically the marlin is, although there are a few .410 lever shotguns

What purpose does it even serve?

>>29754526
Somewhere in between so you are creating a denser field of fire but not blowing through your ammo at an astronomical rate.

>>29754526
depends on the situation.
ideally you want something with a moderate cyclic like a 240B or M60.
but if you were dealing with hordes of enemy from a guarded position where you could deal with barrel changes, high cyclic like an MG42 would be great.
but if you're unable to deal with barrel changes, jams, etc, you want a lower cyclic to reduce the chance of that happening.

>>29754526
depends on what you're planning to do with it
