Realistically how well is a quality, Russian SKS going to serve you in a SHTF type situation?
Is there any firearm with just as accessible ammo, around the same CAD $200 price point, that would perform better in rough situations?

I thought hard about buying an sks.
Then i gravitated towards a vz2008.
Then i decided to buy an wasr 10.
I cant find a decent sks for less than $350. Why not spend another $250 and get an ak?

the mounties won't let him.
I've overly invested in 7.62.54R, I admit. I have a PU sniper, and an M39.
I'm looking for a more modern gun that uses the same round, and VEPR is what comes up. But there seem to be a lot of options out there.
Atlantic has this, with the Rosewood furniture, Classic has that, and it's cheaper, but probably the same thing just not gilded.
If /k/ was going to buy a modern 7.62x54R rifle, what would it be?!?
I'll end up buying the best suggestion posted. And start a thread showing the unboxing.

Don't bother with 54r. Go .308 or go home.

>>28339544
I already have a PTR91 and a NM M1-A. This is about a different cartridge I like. But thanks for bumping the thread.

I'd buy one of these in a heartbeat if it didn't take special snowflake single-stack mags. If they made a .308 model that took G3 mags it'd be perfect.

WWII by James Jones, though it's long out of print. You'll have to look on eBay. It's a large art book jammed full of war propaganda by all sides, with the author of the Thin Red Line giving you a running profanity-laden unromantic commentary on what it was like to live through the period.
Up Front by Bill Mauldin.
Crusade by Eisenhower and A Soldier's Story by Bradley.
That'll get you started.

The greatest battle implementation ever devised. Duh
Hey /k/
Just got pic related K11. Took it out to the range today and it shot fine, but very slightly high. Is this normal for the k11 or k31?
I am well versed in the technical differences between the two rifles, and that the k31 is basically just the improved k11. But my main question is will i be able to achieve the same accuracy i would with a k11 as I would be able to obtain from a k31? Do any of you reload this?
General swiss thread.

What distance(s) were you shooting at? The K11 rear sight starts at 300m, whereas the K31 sight starts at 100m.

I'm thinking of getting a Rhino if they've improved the Alfa Romeo trigger they were using. I heard the stage 2 trigger kits from Chiappa were pretty good. I like my handguns really big so they soak up the recoil for target shooting. I would normally be inclined to pickup the black 6" version but it looks like you can get a 4" version with both .357mag and 9mm cylinders. The ability to shoot 9mm in it really tickles my danglies. Is there any reason not to get the model with two cylinders?

Hello /k/,
I have a UV-5R5 Baofeng radio due on Tuesday with a programming cable.
I heard someone mention something about CHIRP and programming threads, I didn't see anything in the sticky pertaining to radios. Any information you guys can provide to me that would be useful?

Chirp is fine, just make sure you install the drivers for your radio, I think they are available on youtube somewhere
Don't use channels other than FRS/GMRS. I would ideally recommend buying two radios so you can troubleshoot them and verify that you are broadcasting correctly.
If you live in a populated area, avoid unnecessarily keying the mic, just as a general precaution.

In an emergency situation where a full crew is not available, how effectively can a single person operate an MBT?

Given that you can't drive and operate the turret at the same time, not well.
>>
Sure. Not effectively though, you could switch seats in order to use the main gun, then switch again to reload, then switch again to preposition the tank. Sitting duck the whole time, but not impossible.
If that is porn, sauce?

Why are you doing this? If it's the National Forest, call the Forest Service or go to the website for it. Each designated forest has its own web page. If it's private property, find the owner and ask.
>>
>>28337958
Agreed.
Be a responsible firearms owner, OP. You need a safe backstop for your rounds, and no risk of those rounds continuing on into inhabited areas, vehicles, hunters, etc.

I have yet to see any proper explanation of how to prioritize targets, and what order to shoot enemies in a gunfight with multiple targets. So, I think we need to codify the proper order of targets. I've given this some thought, and this is what I've come up with. Answer the first question. If there is more than one answer, move on to the next question using the answers from the previous. Continue until there is only one answer.
>Who needs to be shot?
Self explanatory, don't want to be shooting people for no reason.
>Who is an immediate threat?
Don't be shooting the guy50 feet away when his buddy's knife is ten inches from your gut.
>Who do I have a clean line of fire on?
If there is someone you can get good shots on, don't waste your time shooting at someone behind solid cover.
>Who is the biggest threat?
Don't bother with the thug gangsta shooting the Hi Point when his body is shooting his AR like Haley.
>Who is closest to me?
The closer the target, the more likely you can take him down quickly, and the more likely he can take you down.
>Fuck it, just start shooting.
I can't think of any way to more prioritize the targets, at this point you should just pick at random and open fire.

You shoot anyone you can as fast as you can.
People that are not in cover are killed very quickly.
>>
>>28337785
you do it the same way we did it in Bradley Gunnery.
>Near before far
a closer target has a better chance of hitting you than a far target
>Staionary before moving
plain and simple, someone not moving has a better chance of popping you than someone sprinting along
>Frontal before flank
this applies more to vehicles, but if someone is facing you, they can sight down on you
>weapon system
is your target carrying a hand gun, or is he part of a three man gun team? Or a RPG team?
this really only applies out in the open, Inna MOUT situation, things are different, especially inside a building.
