The best anything depends on application. Given that you used battle rifle and not precision or designated marksman or similar terms, I'd guess a decent optic for your probable engagement ranges would be, in order from cheapest to priciest, primary arms acss gen ii 1-6, vortex viper, trijicon, SWFA SS, NightForce, us optics, schmidt & bender....
Can somebody please tell me why we aren't allowed to discuss the upcoming AWB bill in a dedicated weapons board?
> /o/ can talk about the importation regulation of cars
> /g/ can talk about spying and other internet laws and regulations
> /v/ can talk about the regulation and censorship of videogames
> /k/ can NOT talk about the regulation on weapons, the entire basis of the board
Explain this to me.

Because /k/ is run by faggot noguns implants from Tumblr.

Ironic considering the 9 hours old 300 post thread which is right above this one at the moment and the 366 post thread that preceded it.
Sup /k/
Long time no see.
I have $2000 to spend on a rifle. Leaning strongly towards a Steyr Aug for around ~$1700.
Currently own a CZ75b and an M1A and the 308 is a bit expensive to shoot.
What would you fuckers do with $2000?
where do you live?
is the budget just for the rifle or is it for the rifle ammo and acesories?
>>28319746
for 2000$ you can go with a god build AR senpai. if you too lazy buy a lwrc.
Get the AUG. Maybe hold out until we know whether or not the MDR is actually going to be released.
Personally I already have an AUG and I want an SLR-104.
What is the best pepper spray that is legal to carry in Wisconsin? I am looking into buying some.
I was looking at
>http://www.pepper-spray-store.com/products/policehome-2_15
Wisconsin rules:
>Needs safety feature like a flip up cap
>Less than 2.1 fluid ounces
>No mace of any sort
>10% maximum OC strength
What one should I buy?
>>28319646
A fucking gun you cheesehead.
>>28319646
Or you can go to Amazon and get a 17% spray screw the rules
>>28319690
Would the police be pissed if I had to use that to defend myself or was stopped with it? Would they even check? What charge would I get if they found out its not technically legal?
So it's been a while since I bought something online, is it considered good etiquette to let the gun store know that you're having something sent to them before you do so or are they used to shit just showing up with random people's names on it?
Same question actually. I am thinking about buying a lower and I am too nervous to call the gun store in advanced. I also don't know if they are even open this time of year
You should let them know a few days ahead of time. Just be cool.
>>28319540
That hip harness is the most unnecessary gear queer bullshit I have ever seen.
So, /k/, help me out. I want a .308 battle rifle, preferably something I can scope with relative ease. I've narrowed it down to two that I am interested in. Can anyone with personal experience with either weigh in?
Options are:
>S&W M&P10
>PTR 91
I am an AR guy and love my two AR-15's, but lack of commonality between manufacturers when you move into .308 territory makes other options also appealing. I'm mostly concerned with ruggedness and reliability. I like to shoot cheap shit ammo because nice .308 is expensive. Brown bear is one of my favorites.
I'm leaning toward the PTR because I think it will be more reliable with steel case, but I have no way of really knowing for sure.
>Will the PTR eat steel case more reliably? Or are they about equal?
>Is the harsh recoil I've heard about in G3 clones legit? Would it be worse than a 6.5 lb AR-10 clone?
>Is the roller system maintenance intensive? I'm used to AR maintenance, and I don't think it's so bad, for comparison.
Input appreciated, pic unrelated.

Hey /k/
I'm taking my CHL course next week. I've been playing around with positions to carry my handgun. Pic related seems to be the most comfy so far. What kind of pistol do you carry and in what position?
I'm going to carry a XD9 sub compact. It's the only pistol I currently own. Is anyone cc'ing full sized handguns?
Wassup scrubs. Anyone here CC a g19?
>>28319259
aiwb because I'm a small guy and the traditional spot in low ride skinny jeans sucks
Once I get my work bonus in a few weeks I'm going submit the paperwork for my CC permit. I still need a holster, and I'm not sure how/where to wear my gun. It's a G19 like the fag I am, and it's just big enough that 3 o'clock is too bulgy, and appendix makes it impossible to sit. Does a holster help even out these areas when carrying, or do I need to just manage and practice?
Y'all have a knife (or fun) that is the benchmark from which you judge other options? For me its my paramilitary 2. I like to weigh the differences between it and any other knife i might buy(pic mine but unrelated)
>>28319238
Hard to say, really. For something I'd pass down to my kids or grandkids, it'd be my special edition Case Marlin. If it was for over all value and an ability to be a work horse, it'd be between my Esee-3 and my Paramilitary 2. And as for EDC blades that go with me every day, it's hard to beat my Benchmade mini-grip or my Izula.
I have more love for my Case Marlin than any of them, but it was also a gift from my father and the most pleasing to look at.
>>28319238
For knives, my Kershaw Leek. For guns, my FNS-9. Have gone through a lot of carry knives and guns and those have become my benchmarks.
>>28320270
Sentiment is hard to benchmark id say
With the INSAS rifle being replaced, what are the odds of seeing them modded and imported?
I've always liked the look of them.
>>28319135
>I've always liked the look of them
You wouldn't happen to be a scat fetishist, by any chance?
The barrel is probably full of poo
None. According to most govs, Once an auto, always an auto.

Thoughts on sporterized milsurp weapons?
I always thought it's a shame when you see a beautiful weapon and piece of history get turned into a polymer covered turd with an ugly Bushnell scope on it. Seeing shit get bubba'd is never fun.
>>28318846
It's usually a waste of time considering how cheap hunting guns are now. Doing it to rare weapons is tasteless.
>>28318858
this. for the price of mutilating a historic weapon of war, you can just go buy a used Savage/Remshit/Mossman/Sako, or in same cases even a brand new one, and use it for hunting instead.
It made sense in like 1952 when a milsurp Mauser or Arisaka would cost like 15-20% of what a decent hunting rifle would cost.
But now a even cheap milsurp like a re-arsenaled nugget costs like 150bucks, and you can get a solid used hunting rifle for 200 or 250.
Or you could get a low end new production rifle for like 300 bucks.
Sporterizing milsurps now is retarded.
All it does is destroy a piece of history and lower the value permanently.
Post non-traditional configurations for guns, or just odd looking things.
I'm trying to find a picture of a Tec-9 with an extended barrel that has been dressed up into a carbine that looks like a tiny AR-15.
>>28318710
>>28318756
This is airshit, in case anyone worries.
someone post that AK with the PKM stock on it
>>28318784
who cares it makes my dick hard
is it just me or are the mosin bayonets fucking tight or what. i was thinking of either sanding the inside of the socket or just prying it open with a hammer.
any advice?
Who would have known that Russian stuff has shit fit and finish?
Numbers matching? I've found number matching fits a bit better
>>28318637
They are meant to be tight, numbers matching will be better though. I believe the idea was they weren't suppose to remove them unless they really had to.
I have a bayonet without a number that refused to go on my rifle when I first got it. I sanded it a little bit at a time till it was a snug fit but would mount on the rifle.
Ever thought of building your own PPS-43 rifle? This one looks kinda cool, and parts kits are cheap for it too.
http://www.centerfiresystems.com/KIT-PPS43-2.aspx
>>28318455
Yes, but I found the Suomi to be far more interesting.
Parts kits are like a cheap model kit to a good machinist.
>>28318455
I wish they would import them as fucking rifles instead of pistols
Seriously, what the fuck. I want a stock, not a short barrel.
What's it missing? What's the catch? What's a barrel and the receiver, and stock all cost?
there is already a self defense story thread, however does anyone have any toasty stories where they were put in situations where you really should of owned/had a firearm but didnt have one on you? here are a few of my stories from ages 17-22 (im 23 now, and CC)

>mom comes and gets me, freaks her shit out because she thinks im in a gang now.
they never found out who shot at me and my friend, I wish this story could of been better, but honestly it happened so fast I didnt even stop walking, the reality of being shot at didnt hit me until they were speeding away.
