So I have a PTR with a welded on rail like this.
What kind of optic should I put on it?
More specifically I want a low to mid power magnified optic, but not sure what to get. I wan't something that sits low, and probably fixed magnification.
Alright guys.
I'm moving from a liberal shithole to glorious North Carolina. What should I buy first?
Thinking about dropping 6k on a Dragunov variant but I'm open to suggestions.
Pic unrelated but starwars is cool

>FAL
>SVT40
>Garand

>>34771543
I CLAPPED! I CLAPPED WHEN I SAW WHAT YOUR OP IMAGE IS! I KNOW WHAT THAT IS! If you have money to burn, how about a nice bullpup like an AUG or something?
Let's see those Form1s courtesy of the shitty ATF website that looks like it was made in 1999.
>not looking to spend more than $4-500
>not a fan of cock-on-close action which means no swede mausers and no enfield
>want a longer gun AKA anything around 50" overall length
>preferably a common caliber like .308 or 30-06 but stuff as rare as 6.5 swede/8mm mauser/7.5 swiss is also okay
>want something with an exotic look to it
Pic related is my current family. I have a bubba'd swede mauser I'm selling to pay for this new gun. Give me ideas.
Also what websites do I go to?
Armslist is my go-to but it's hard to bring myself to trust sellers with shipping, if they're anywhere in north or central florida I'll usually drive but that severely limits my options.
>>34771025
k31 or 1911
you can still find gp11 for 50c/rd
>does not like cock on close
Quit being a faggot
Here is my list
-finn mosin
-madsen m47
-spanish mauser
-ishapore smle in 7.62 nato
-sks
-variety of mausers (specifically turk because they are cheap)
-spanish fr8
-eddystone enfeilds when you can find em cheap
>>34771097
I've heard bad things about turk mausers, at first I thought it was a meme because people hate turks but the prices scared me. Plus I hear it's not good to fire turk 8mm out of stuff like hakims
Give me a quick rundown on how to tell the difference between the 7.62 cetme and 7.62 nato guns pls
How could we counter this:

Easy, fighter aircraft can go Mach 3.
Or just have Asuka pilot them.
With EOT.
It will be like the spruce goose in crimson skies. Disable it by shooting out a few of the engines.
Shit, remember when Nathan and the gang STOLE it? That was awesome.
Chris Bartocci got his hands on a Glock 18C
>>34770567
Nifty.

I thought so too. Hope your having a great weekend.
Which exotic hardwood grip Looks best with this case hardened Rem 1858?
1 or 2, 3 looks a little too light for me and 4 has a weird texture, but this is just personal taste.
>>34770486
Find one in koa, its the coolest wood by far
I'd say either the ebony(?) or the original rosewood(?) grips look best. The other woods are really busy looking, and while they'd look good on a solid finish, they detract from the finish on yours. I personally prefer the ebony grips, because they would compliment the frame, and look very sleek.
I have been looking into getting a new solar panel set for my back packing trips. I used to have a small charger for my phone but now I want something that can charge a battery for night vision etc.

PLEASE HELP ME /k/,
I received these knives as a gift, and I do not know what the name of the knives, or the set is, and i was wondering if anyone on here did
>>34770164
Clearly Gerber....
Idiot
You're a fucking fool. That's a swiss army knife.
do you think a modern military could be effective with only side by side 12g smooth bore double barrel shotguns for small arms? full variety of ammo is available and even barrel inserts for other calibers.
what do you think would be the absolute limit on the oldest firearm that could be issued as a service rifle and still be effective in the field?
The oldest weapon that could still be fielded and be effective? Probably the M1 Garand.
Remember, the biggest innovation in small arms was not the self-contained metallic cartridge, it was the development of smokeless powder.
>>34770135
i expected an answer like this from most people. Selfloading WW2 and maybe even the rarer ww1 ones could probably still be effective.
What do you use to clean your guns? I bought a Hoppe's 9 cleaning kit but I feel like there's a more cost efficient way out there than just buying the kit when it's time to re-stock.
>>34770034
I treat my guns, like I treat my wife. Slap it around a few times and it'll start to clean itself.
>>34770034
You can buy the solvent, oil, and patches separately at Walmart.
>>34770034
You want a thin oil for cleaning stuff. Rem Oil is the shit for that.
But you want something a little thicker so it has some sticking power on components and nooks and crannies.
Just get a nice brush set for the bore.
>all these things can be bought individually and in bulk experiment and get what you like and what works

I'm not Nathaniel.
I am getting ready to make a bulk purchase of 5.56/.223 ammo. Any reccomendations? I have thousands of rounds of target ammo, hundreds of Hornady TAP. I need some SHTF, all purpose, armor piercing to round out the current collection.
Thoughts?
