>>28325890
Do you want the bolt action to be milsurp as a range toy and for the fun of it or to actually be a modern, useful one?

what the fuck is this thread
I'm interested in getting into arms dealing on a large scale. I enjoy guns, I love guns, why not deal in guns?
>inb4 joint the ATF.
Also, I'm surprised Sweden was a major arms exporter.
>>28325454
>buy guns
>sell guns
Where so hard about that?
>Also, I'm surprised Sweden was a major arms exporter.
Yeah, they have Bofors, Saab, and probably a couple other less well known companies
>>28325487
The hard part of that is doing so without attracting the ire of the government. I'm looking to travel, to see the world. To find my own brown shota to call mine.
In all seriousness, I'm thinking logistics. More specifically maritime logistics, though flying is an added bonus. Doing my part to bring arms to the world. Am I romanticizing arms dealing too much?
I found this gun in my grandma's house, and if you could give me some info about it, it'll be great. Ther isn't any incriptions on it exepted "Fabrication Française" on the right side and "franco" on the top.
i beleive it was a pistol that the US made for cheap to drop over france in ww2 for ressistance fighters
>>28325445
Holy fuck that's a Liberty pistol. Manufactured to help the French resistance in world War two, single shot .45. Doesn't look to be in worse condition than a few I've seen in museums either.
>>28325467
Apologies, Liberator not Liberty.
Want a Spyderco knife, torn between the Paramilitary 2 and Manix 2.
I've heard all kinds of people talking about how great the PM2's edge is and how great the lock is. But it allegedly has kind of a weak tip and that REALLY concerns me because I beat the absolute shit outta my knives, which leads me to considering the Manix. Haven't heard a single thing bad about it, but also haven't seen as many rave reviews. Plus, it's also cheaper which for some stupid-ass reason is registering in my mind as a negative.
Wat get
>>28325433
>Don't use the PM2 as a pry bar.
Problem solved
>>28325433
>non-lockback Spydies
>>28325563
Only knife I ever do that shit with is my Benchmade Adamas, but I've heard people breaking them by dropping them on a hard surface and by simply stabbing stuff and shit
>>28326348
>2015
>Still buying lockbacks
Hope you like slicing your finger open.
So I got a Ruger mk 3 this year. I took it apart to learn how to clean it.
That is where I went wrong.
I can't get the dam pin back in.
So I took it to a gun store that's just up the road.
It's been half an hour and everyone in the store can't put it back together.
Why would someone build a gun this tedious!
ITT: problem guns
>>28325408
Ruger firearms are fucked. I hate taking them apart for their seasonal deep clean and oil.
I shoot my WASR and my Glock more than my fucking 10/22 and Mk2
>>28325436
Ya but I got a mark 3 and those are far far worse.
The guys at the store are looking up how to videos on YouTube. We have gotten despite
It's really not that bad. Get learn'd
So I got one of these for christmas, hi-point JHP in .45
It's fu...
It's fucking like, 4 pounds when fully loaded
What should I do with this brick? Does anybody actually CC these? dafuq
>>28325407
Tyrone and daquan down the street cc them.they say its the best version of the glock forty,because fuddy fah is bigger.
Jamal and Tyrese mostly
Use it as a dedicated car gun.
Go shoot it and make sure it's reliable. Then go get a holster and hide it between the front seats in your car and let it live there.

so since the start of the Afghan and Iraq wars in 2002/2003, the US forces have started going toward lighter weight, more practical uniforms, rifles, equipment, etc., emphasizing CAS in airpower, more useful camouflages. all of this has been driven by operational experiences.
what have the Russians learned and how have they modernized their forces in response to their post-Cold war experiences? Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine, etc.
>>28325335
bump.
how have russian forces modernized since the cold war due to operational experiences?
Since Chechnya, they've begun moving away from low profile tanks designed to charge the Fulda Gap to larger tanks with more armor and better turret elevation. Also moving to more heavily armored APCs/IFVs since BTRs and BMPs get chewed up by HMGs/RPGs which are widespread in modern warfare.
Drones have become very important for artillery spotting and correction. Entire Ukrainian armored divisions have disappeared in a matter of minutes thanks to the Drone + MLRS combination.
Infantry wise, soldiers are starting to get better gear inspired by western stuff. They've recognized that infantry is very valuable in modern conflicts in roles other than cannon fodder.
I'm old enough to have seen Soviet trained troops and militia in action, and did some relatively basic observation of Eastern Bloc troops (the majority of whom were Soviet) in the early 70s. I am by no means an expert but I do have age on my side.
They've completely abandoned the concept of first class, second class, third class formations. Their doctrine has become a lot more flexible, away from the set piece and toward smaller formations carrying out prolonged operations. I wouldn't necessarily call it a copy of western doctrine, but it's a lot lighter than it used to be. Typically they would have huge field formations with any important asset held at a corps level, but these days they're a lot more willing to give battalion level command control over things that would have been previously taken care of much higher up the chain.
All that said, I don't know how much of that has come from past operational experience and how much of it comes from their future ambitions.
Best stamped receiver AK around $700 or less?

>>28325344
I forgot about the retarded 10 round limit, just buy mags out of state.
You now have an actual AK, that will still be legal if you move out of state
If you don't foresee moving out of state and exclusively want this as a SHTF rifle, buy and install the FA components from Midway.
How would /k/ weaponized rolly pollies?
No literally how would /k/ go about doing the impossible and turn it into a possible thing?
>>28325109
As a kid, I kept a shoe box full of them under my bed. One day when my mother was cleaning my room, she found it, freaked, and fell backward onto my dresser. Split her head open, and she needed a bunch of staples. So I guess that's one way to weaponize them.
>>28325109
Encase them in resin and load into shotshell. Done.
>>28325109
engineer a parasite that they carry which can transfer to humans, drop rollypollies from planes
SIG P320 or H&K VP9?
>>28324641
sig can handle mud https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZTRjXD7AVU

>>28324641
The Sig
Sig is German for fucking awesome.
HK = Jew-Rat
I put a box through both at the range to decide. I went with the P320 and spent less as a bonus.
Hey /k/, I recently turned 18 and im thinking about a rifle to buy that will be both fun to shoot and good to hunt with, also not too expensive. Im thinking about buying an Ishapore since ammo is readily available and I can get one for less than 300 dollars. Any thoughts or advice for a first gun purchase?
Mosin Nagant, Ishapores, or just get a modern bolt action rifle like a Ruger American, Tikka, or Savage Axis.
You can get a south american Mauser for less than $300. Nice guns.
I recently bought a savage axis 2 bout 350 after rebates and stuff comes with a weaver optic. You'll have to change that out to go hunting but all around not bad gun. Wish I would have spent some extra money to get the trophy hunter with the jade bolt or whatever. But I absolutely love dat accutrigger.
