Are Winchester pump actions good?
To me the determining factors that make a good shotgun are materials strength, button location, ease of disassembly, and the ability to ghost load.
>>29208161
They range between decent and good.
Model 12s are excellent.

Anyone know the significance of the white bands on the barrels?
they're for high speed low drag.

So the tanks can recognize each other's platoon affiliation visually. Didn't they teach you this in science class?
And here it is. The ol' AK or AR thread.
I've rekindled my interest in firearms as of late. I'm looking to buy an auto rifle. Problem is, I am far from wealthy. I want a rifle that is reliable, easy to maintain, and MUST be under 800 USD. It will be used for fun, but main idea is a SHTF situation. I am no mega gun enthusiast, nor do I think that I will be some uber commando or even live that long in a SHTF situation. However, I do want a fighting chance to protect my family. I want something I can grab, abuse, and go boom when I pull the trigger.
I keep coming back to the AK due to it's simplicity and proven track record.
I've narrowed it down to the Century Arms C39V2 (I know Century isn't usually that great, but this rifle has got tons of positive feedback with a milled receiver). The ARs I'm looking at are S&W MP Sport II or Windham Dissapator.
I do not plan on doing any tacticool shit, I would rather put that money towards ammo. I'm fine with gorilla taping my streamlight flashlight to it as apposed to spending 200 bucks on picatinny and a light if necessity told me I needed a light.

AK: WASR. Preferably one of the new ones, not the 10/63s. You might be able to find a used arsenal though.
AR: PSA lower, ALG QMS trigger, BCM or PSA Upper.
>>29208139
This.
Let's talk defining features of certain weapon groups.
For example,
What defines a assault rifle?
What defines a submachine gun?
What defines a pistol?
I am mostly curious about assault weapons. What defines "assault" weapons?
I personally believe any weapon that can engage multiple targets before needing to reload and has the option of firing full auto is a assault weapon. Actually... Maybe full auto anything could be considered assault weapon?
>>29207889
I'm calling it now:
In 40 or so posts anons will be arguing over semantics/definition of a certain type of gun/the difference between SMGs and ARs
>>29207889
Lrn2google
But really I think the word assault rifle means any portable, high capacity, light weight, and large caliber rifle
"Assault Rifle" is such a meaningless term that liberals have bogged down with so much baggage.
A rifle, in my opinion, is just a weapon with a certain barrel length too unwieldy for usage with one hand (A pistol).
A sub-machine gun/ carbine are weapons too unwieldy for one hand but do not have a barrel length long enough to be considered a rifle.
Why does this man trigger mall fedoras so much?
Pay respects.
He just made like one gun that wasn't even that great, then rehashed 80 billion times.
It's too complicated for a peasant gun, too simple to be for an operator. And he doesn't even get the midground anymore because there's an AR for any budget you can name.
>>29207873
all that poor guy wanted to do was make farm equipment
>>29208128
Ar sucks at long range tho. Im shooting in 1000yd prone matches. And to be competitive I have a custom rem700 action etc. Most are target rifles are more expensive than my setup but suck. Just look at the leaderboards. Aks are fine for what they are. But ars are just overhyped by fanboys who think 223 is good.
What's the best way to sharpen a /k/a-bar?
I've tried with all kinds of stones but I cannot get it razor sharp.
The bottom edge of a mug works perfectly fine for me OP
>>29207870
You're probably not doing it right then.
If you really want to pussy out get an angle guide.
Take it to a sharpener.
/k/ I got a concealed carry permit and I need to know of a small pistol that still has enough stopping power to stop the never ending shitstorm of muggers where I go to work at late night. I have pretty high price range (up to $1250) and will buy extra mags and a holster. I need it to be compact yet strong and have a clipsize of maybe 5 or more bullets. What ya guys got? Pic semi related. It can be bigger than this. I know I can only hope for so much
The sccy seems like a reasonable option, personally I wouldn't go with anything less than 9mm
>>29207528
I felt the same way. But I just want to get the opinion of the board before I go to my local gunshop/online retailer and buy something that wouldn't stop a squirrel
>>29207497
Glock 19.
SCCY is not very good quality.
If you really want a pocket pistol get something like a ruger LCP
So /k/, I have been looking into getting my CC permit but was having worries about how I'mm actually go about doing it.
The only handgun I own is a fullsized Springfield XD 9mm. How uncomfortable is it to iwb carry something of that size? Is it worth it to buy something lime a Shield that's so much smaller? When I open carry, I just use a belt holster at 3 o clock, so I figured for cc I'd do the same position, just iwb. Good idea or no?
>Inb4 lol9mm
To keep general conversationmoving, what do you carry and how?
>>29207359
Im a 5.10 Auschwitz reinactor And I CCa CZ-52 IWB at about 11 O'clock.
Due to my super skinny frame, it is a challenge to CC things IWB without Exaggerated printing. and it is impossible to do so on my hip.
For example, in the same position, my CZ-52 prints LESS than my G19 due to it being thinner. it is significantly longer however, so on occasion it is uncomfortable to have a CZ-52 jabbing just above your groin when you bend over.
>>29207359
OP, you want something like an alien gear holster, worn at 5:30, I carry both an XDS45 and XD and they both disappear under a decent shirt. Wearing it in an area like 3 o'clock will make you print like a motherfucker. Alien gear holsters are pretty decent, and run about 30 bucks, perfect for the poorfag on a budget. Don't ever wear a 'soft' cc holster, they will make you ND into your leg and die a stupid, stupid death.
>>29207359
I carry a Canik TP9SA in a kydex AIWB holster. I'm not a big guy and it disappears effortlessly. Keep in mind, a good belt is necessary for full size concealment as well as dressing around your gun.
talk me out of it /k/
>>29206867
no.
>>29206867
If you want a DD just get an M203
You don't have 12k to throw at it and you can't afford 20mm ammunition.

She misspelled amendment. The irony is thick here. Antis love this shit. Why can't people keep guns away from their kids...is it really that hard?
Fucking idiot.
I'm pro-2A but anyone who leaves a loaded handgun where a 4-year-old child can get to it should never be allowed to own a firearm again.
>>29207117
This...if I lived alone it'd be one thing, but I can't even trust my girl not to accidentally off herself in the process of dusting.

Surprised she wasn't in several pieces.
question: is the henry survival (AR-7) a good bug out gun to have in the back of my car? im looking for a decent survival rifle but that is the best i could come up with.
why not just get a fold stock?
>>29206735
If you go camping, you could take that rifle with you to use up less space. But for your car you can get a full-size rifle.
Adhoc - i doubt that piece of lego is precise enough.
>>29206756
i want something that takes up as little space as possible and is hard to see/recognize as a weapon.
so, im looking to get my dad a cc since he finally decided to get his license. he keeps telling me the range officer said a .380 acp is the best cc caliber. but i know damn well it isnt. i was thinking a nice colt python snub with a shoulder holster (pic related its the one i want to get him)
what do you guys think?
>>29206513
I think you should listen to your range master instead of pretending you're in gumshoe noir land.
>>29206528
we're talking about stopping power and 380 has been proven to be one of the worst for stopping power.
op here
here is the link to the gun

What does /k/ think about this book? Is it a good read for self-education for a novice on gun rights like myself?
>>29206121
Any fap material contained inside?
>thinking you have gun rights
LOL YOU DON'T HAVE RIGHTS FAGGOT
They just indoctrinated you to think you had rights. They showed you the pieces of paper that said you have rights, without showing you the countless thousands of pieces of paper that say how those rights are restricted.
Your "rights" are restricted in every possible way so that if you ever take advantage of your rights you'll be in the wrong. Then you will lose those rights. Rights you never got to enjoy.
Get fucked, you have no rights, you can go spend 20 years learning law at Harvard and you still won't know everything about the law.
Everything you do today will be illegal tomorrow.
>>29206169
>Everything you do today will be illegal tomorrow.
Oi, fap while you can lads.
Its all cumming to an end.
A few years ago I was in an armory and found a very old AR-pattern riflr. It's lack of forward assist, slabside recieved, pronged flash hider and triangular grip made me think it was an M16, but on the receiver was stamped "COLT GOVT MODEL AR-15".
Oh it was select-fire as well
What model was this fampai?
Total guess here, but probably an M16 assembled on a police AR-15 receiver.
Autocorrect fuck me right up senpai
>>29206100
I guess, but this was in a gunless place and the barrel and receiver had similar stamps
