I just found out you are supposed to use both eyes when aiming down sights. Ever since I was a kid, I've always closed one eye. How fucked am I?
The second eye is just for maintaining situational awareness and better depth perception
Eh, not really. You can break yourself out of the habit with training. It honestly doesn't matter much, unless you plan on operating in close quarters.

>He never watched Pocahontas
Jesus, someone send me a /k/ angel to halp me in my time of need.
Okay so I have this wasr 10 and I got magpul furniture for it and I got everything on it except for the damned upper hand gaurd. I know what to do to get dat bish on there but I don't have the right tools. Would appreciate some guidance or tips.
Do you have like big lock jaw pliers and a rag? I took mine off with padded vise jaws and it was pretty damn tight... Good luck...
>>28421619
Use a fuckin adjustable wrench like I do and crank that motherfucker right off.
>>28421619
I don't remember how the hell I got mine off.
Hope that helps.
Is the colt 1911 any good?
I'm looking for a fairly basic model that I can possibly put a match trigger in.
>>28421158
Be sure to have the new sear, hammer, and disconnector properly fitted by a smith if you decide to change it
>>28421158
CMP should be getting some soon, I recommend picking one up
>>28421158
It's a relic. There are a lot of modern guns cheaper and better.
Not saying it isn't a good gun, but there have been some advancements in the last 100 years.
I love the look of the tip-up barrel on this baby. I'd like to get a "full sized" .380 as my next gun and I don't know if I want to try hunting for one of these, or just get a PPK.
Classic .380 thread
>Tip up barrel
Why? Generally curious
Tell me it's not single shot.
>>28421122
The idea was you load the magazine and then tip up the barrel to put a cartridge right in the chamber to get one extra bullet in the gun.
>>28421122
Not single shot. It has all the features of the standard version. With a tip up barrel, you never once have to manually rack the slide.
Help me out /K/omrades. I'm currently building my first AR and the last part I need is a muzzle device. I can't decide between getting a suppressor threaded Spikes Dynacomp (pic Related) in preparation for the possibility of the hearing protection act getting passed and Suppressors being deregulated, or just a standard A2 birdcage. What Muzzle devices do you recommend and why. Barrel is a melonited 16 inch 5.56 with 1/7 twist if that makes any difference to you.
Just get an A2.
What ever silencer you buy will have a muzzle device
a2 is fine

What's your use?
Tacticooling?
Fun?
Competition?
Does this type of sword exist, with a flared tip like this? What are they called if so?
I would give absolutely anything to run that qt through with a naginata, to hear her soft oriental gasp of pain before I draw my knife and slice into her soft flesh, crushing her young body under my weight and having my way with her corpse.
Sword is pretty cool too, though.
Yeah, I've seen actual real swords like this in museums. No clue what they are called though.
Guess they don't like stabbing stuff, but it would make some real nasty swings.
>>28420774
This sword specifically? Probably not. There are a lot of African examples that are somewhat similar however.
So, why hasn't anyone tried to set a "universal" standard for pistol mags, sort of like STANAG, so that every fucking pistol, even ones from the same manufacturer, doesn't need its own unique magazines?
Is it just greed, or is there a mechanical reason *?
*I'm obviously talking about stuff that use conventional mechanisms, not things like that pistol that pulls the bullets out of the mag from the rear.
cause every pistol has different grip angles for ergonomics
Because then they couldn't charge you $30-$50 per mag
You don't put an entire STANAG inside a rifle.
It only has to mesh up with the top couple inches.
Pistols come in all sorts of different grip widths, angles and lengths.
If you are required by law to have your guns locked in a safe, or have trigger locks installed on them, then how will you be able to access them fast enough when it only takes a rapist the same amount of time to enter your home and find you as it did to read this question?
It's like the government wants you to be raped.
but getting raped was part of my plan
It's not so much that they want you to be raped in general, just that they want to be able to rape you at will.
between 80 and 90% of rapes are in fact committed by someone the victim already knows.
the percentage of rapes by people "entering your home" is utterly dwarfed by those by an existing partner, an ex, or other associate.
Theoretically, how hard would it be to reactivate a Sten trophy with the barrel assembly welded shut.
>>28420191
Depends on how it was deactivated and how much/what is welded
>>28420201
What if the upper and lower receivers are intact, trigger assembly works, the bolt is intact but the barrel assembly is welded shut.
>>28420378
I just assumed the tools necessary to bore a barrel from scratch were expensive and unreliable.
Hey /k/. I am gonna go to a range and I need tips on range etiquette. Can you guys make me look like something other than a total retard?
>>28419992
Don't be retarded and you'll be good.
>How?
Ask yourself if what you're doing is retarded
>Yes?
Stop doing it
>No?
Continue.
I hope this has been helpful and remember have fun and be safe.
>>28419992
literally never point the gun anywhere except downrange
don't even tilt it slightly away
if u r noob learn proper hand-grip for basic stuff like AR and handguns
>>28419992
It's considered good luck to pelt the shooter to your right with hot brass out of your beat-to-hell wasr. Also everyone will be very appreciative if collect their brass while they're shooting and take it home with you, so you have a way to remember your first time.
New acquisition. Bersa Firestorm .380 acp. Thoughts /k/?
>>28419896
Ya did good OP.
Load er up with hollows and your golden.
>>28419896
Cheap piece of shit. Save your money and get something not shit, pleb.
>>28419953
Thank you.
Master race report in!
Im basically hated on /k/ i own a glock 23 and actually like it. .40 fag reporting in
Lol... Glocks.. have fun shooting your dick off with that "safety"
Anyone go to the Knoxville Gun Show today? Any finds? Any stories? Anyone else drunk on a Sunday night?
Gun Show Thread
>>28419578
i remember when i was young and kept club stamps on to show off
Asheville had a show this weekend as well. Went to that. Typical fudds, trailer trash, ex-mil, and land whales. Everyone stocked with glocks, Rugers and overpriced .22
I haven't regretting going to a gun show in probably a decade or so. They usually cost like $5 or so to get in and that's usually all the money I ever feel like spending at one. Aside from some jerky from some old hillbilly every now and then.
Prove to me that r.i.p. ammo isn't the best ammo on the market
Works about as well as black people do
>>28419467
rip ammo is expensive.
if your company really wanted to increase sales on your ammo you would lower the price
>>28419467
Burden's on you to prove it is. Why should I spend my shekels do test something that's already known to be shit?
I'm looking to find an apprenticeship to a local gunsmith. Besides common fucking courtesy, what would help me convince them I'm worth the time? And is there anything I would need beforehand, IE paperwork/driver's license/etc, presuming this is in South Carolina?
> Pic unrelated.
Bump, please.
Just one more time?
you could always spend a huge chunk of cash, drive to Georgia for a bit and come out with a lot of knowledge and precision rifle from Robert Gradous
