Can we get a thread going about the different finishes on firearms? Pros and cons of specific types etc. Also, been looking at Robar roguard or NP3, anyone have experience with them? Is it a scam? Overpriced?
http://www.handgunsmag.com/gunsmithing/robar-np3-plating-review/
Apparently the NP3 finish is pretty cool, not sure about the value but the service seems pretty nice. I remember an article in Guns and ammo or another mag about robar finishes, I'll try to dig it up.

Seems like a good way to blow a lot of money on not much return, to be honest
>>34731308
>>34727395 Is a catch all for things like gun restoration or modification.
Does the new Franklin armory binary trigger gen 3 work? Is it better than the echo?
How exactly does a special hammer(correct?), a trigger and a selector cost 365 burger bucks when it probably cost less than 30 to make it?
It sells for that much because people are willing to buy it for that much.

Does any current or prior US coast guard browse /k/? I'm a Marine getting out soon and I'm curious about potentially trying to become a Gunner's mate. Any opinions on weather or not it's worth the move? Additionally is the branch super overly politically correct and soft like the Navy is these days or is it still safe for CIS white male scum like me?
Dont leave yet shits about to heppen in Venezualia muhreens will be called in to secure valuable assets there.

Whats your mos
Been wondering this for a while, I've done it more than once. When some dumb ass rolls up to you, tries to act hard, brandish a knife, gun, what ever and you draw, do you ever take what they were trying to mug or intimidate you with?
Personally I've gotten a few decent knives out of this, any guns I just turn over to a cop buddy of mine, don't want some getto blaster Tyrone used
I'm with you, OP. I got my CCW specifically so I can road-rage at people and shoot them if they try to escalate.

So, I just got an AR10, my dad says he has a shitton of national match 308 that he has no use for and will give me. What is 'national match' compared to 'box of 308 from Walmart', and is it fine for general sighting in and range work?
>>34731128
Did you get a look at the head stamp by chance?
Could either be the military issued stuff or federal gold medal match.
>>34731128
It's garbage, means it's using matchhead propellant, it was made by federal years ago to rip off fudds and mall ninjas.
>>34731128
>>34731173
Anyway, I didn't really answer your question so allow me to continue basically match ammunition is optimized for accuracy. It has much higher quality control more consistent powders optimized bullets etc basically more effort gets put into making it a "perfect" cartridge so it cost more but better accuracy, honestly if I were you I would save it for a rainy day zero with the ammunition you're going to be shooting most.

Why is everyone on /k/ in the USCG?
It seems like in every discussion at least half are puddle pirates. No disrespect. I love em. But what do I know, I'm just a boot ass Army Op40 68w poolee.
Anyways this is the CG love thread. Lets get it going.
Kill yourself nigger
The USCG is the only branch that is dedicated to protecting mainland USA.
Everybody else is off defending foreigners and freeing towel heads.
They've even dragged the poor NG bastards into it.
>>34731852
and the only branch with a de facto exemption from posse comitatus
and the only branch that can violate 4th amendment rights

Here's some Spetnog operator action.
So I need a few h3 buffers, maybe even heavier than 5.4 oz, and well they're a bit expensive. I was thinking would it be fine to use tungsten powder? Like buy a regular cheap carbine buffer, take off the cap(also how do you do this? A hammer and punch pin?) and replace the steel weights with this tungsten powder.
Now my question is is what's the volume difference between tungsten powder(very fine in the micron range) and solid tungsten? And do these heavy buffers use pure tungsten or do they use tungsten carbide? Because the difference between the two in density is 18.5 percent.
Now that's fine since I'd just use less powder or use the whole amount volume wise since I might need a higher weight than 5.4 oz but again it would be good to know. The brownells video on buffers said the h buffers use tungsten carbide but others say just tungsten. And another pistol buffer I have use tungsten something but it's not a silver color, the tungsten was dark and course in comparison.
So which Is it? Tungsten carbide or just elemental tungsten that's used in buffers?
Another thing, is it a problem to use powder vs solid weights in terms of the effect? What about filling the buffer completely up with powder? Is the weights bouncing around the buffer crucial to operation?

I have a bunch of milsurp crap I need to get rid of, I'm contemplating getting a table at a gunshow, anyone ever do this?
any tips,ect. stories, do I need a Tax ID#?
Just see if Ivan at the kommando store will buy it from you and put it on his sight. We all enjoy his goods.
I'd rather go and sell myself, I think it could be fun.
I have an M82A1 and everyone who looks at it tells me that its a tri-lug. What exactly do they mean by that.
>I have an M82A1
Sure you do bud.
>everyone who looks at it tells me its a tri-lug
Three-lug rotating bolt.
It has three lugs.

Someone shop this to have coast guard at 100%

I see one extractor that pulls ammunition form the belt, but I don't see one that pulls empty shell casings from the chamber. Are there two extractors, and I'm just not seeing one, or does the extractor that extracts rounds from the ammo belt also extract rounds from the chamber, or does it even need an extractor for the chamber?
If my terminology is bad, I apologize. Please correct me.
Alright komrades,
Help me think of some cool, small-ish handguns that would be at home in a 60s-70s spy thriller. Maybe similar to the PPK or pic related.
What country?

Any. A few more are coming to mind though. Makarov,
