M70 AK47/SKS

A bunch of 7.62x39

A better appreciation for the smell and sounds that an AK emanates.

>>28318379
Depends on what you plan to do with it.

>>28318394
Just target shoot and mess around, and if SHTF, 'home defense'

>>28318206
i like beater guns personally, so i'd get one.

>>28318216
That's what I'm feeling. I'm bad enough with cars when they get scratched that I purposely buy car with meh paint. (I was a detailer, so if the paint gets fucked I have to fix it.)

>>28318206
Yeah, I'd do it. Those old police trade ins are solid. Also, pre-Bs can draw a premium if you refinish it/find the right czech autist.

>>28318203
Bump

>>28318203
The fake / gunshow kind.

>>28318203
i think its fake

Broad selection of ammo at cabelas. Mine had xm856 tracer on sale for $10 a box. All kinds of deals but you need to be specific

Piggybacking on this guy with $100 to BassPro...
I'm thinking Tula x39, 9mm and .223. In CA so no big mags for me. I'm building an AR but I couldn't find if they had any lower parts kits on their website.
Anything better?

>>28318243
Mostly looking at rifles under $500 and any good deals on 9mm or 7.62x39

Nothing.

You keep spare parts on hand and replace parts only if they actually break.
>O ring
I dont know why these are even a thing. Every gunsmith I've ever talked to says to remove them, the rifle actually functions better without them.

You better fucking live in a state that doesn't allow SBRs.

None, just clean and lubricate the gun normally. Parts typically fail with neglect and abuse or poor quality from the start.

how rusted is the barrel?

>>28318055
Very lightly, only on the outside

>>28317987
Sure but be careful as fuck unless you really hate the finish on the gun

the war could've been over very quickly if Mcclellan wasn't such a bitch.

Yankees gargle cock and use a biproduct to lord over the south.

(Disclaimer: I shoot compound and also don't hunt pigs)

I'd be leery of hunting pigs with a 45# trad bow (which I'm assuming your's is). Shot placement on pigs is different to deer and on bigger pigs with a "shield" is much less forgiving - you'll either need a bow and arrow set up to deliver enough momentum to punch through or take quartering away shots.

If your bow is a trad bow, you'll need to get very close to make those shots (especially as a new archer), which, with pigs, opens you up to getting charged. My brother knows a bunch of guys who bow hunt pigs and apparently it's not unusual to go out in pairs - one with a bow, one with a rifle for stopping if things go south.

If you're set on hunting pigs with a 45# trad bow, I'd go heavy arrows, definitely upwards of 500 grains. Might even be a good idea to go full Ashby on this one, building an arrow with 19%+ FOC with a heavy single-bevel two blade broad head. I'd get a small diameter shaft in something like a 400, 340 or 300 and add point weight until it spines out well for your bow.

>>28318142
>>28318142
Cheers mate. I own a compound.

I'm aware of the boar shield and have done a little research on the internals of a pig.

And yeah. I've been charged by a boar before. Though I'd be brave and stand my ground. He was about 6 inches from the tip of my gun when I squeezed one off - click. In the excitement the bolt had lifted slightly. But the barrel to his face, and then to his ribs when he had been shot scared him off. Definitely not gonna take the 220 swift out for pigs again. It's only a little projectile haha.

Being Australian I cannot bring a pistol with me for a back up weapon. I'm trying to decide between a knife and a small hatchet as personal protection for any future charging boars.

>>28318378
45# is kind of an odd weight for a hunting compound, which is why I assumed trad. What bow have you got? (Also, what's its max peak weight/range of adjustment/IBO speed/your draw length?)

The same principles apply building an arrow for penetration with a compound, but depending on your bow you'll need a stiffer spined arrow than a trad bow so you'll either need more spine or less point weight, which can make getting a higher FOC a bit trickier. Unless your 45# compound is goddamn fast though, I'd be a bit hesitant to take it after pigs to be honest.

Speaking from a position of ignorance, I'd probably take a mate with a gun over a knife or a hatchet.

You were an asshole and your girl was a dumb slut. Don't come back to my bar.

You're a fucking retard for drinking while CCing in the first place. If you are knowingly going to break the law then a career in law enforcement is the perfect place for you.

Also, you're a little fucking bitch. If the guy had swung at you you probably would have pulled your piece in fear of your life. In reality a good ass kicking is just what you fucking need.

>>28317650
Your size doesn't matter. A grizzly will kill a 6'5 bodybuilder just as dead as a 4 foot tall girlscout. The only difference is that the bodybuilder will be a larger, more hearty meal. Unless you can kill the bear by sticking your arm down its throat, which was a one time thing to be fair.

>Lightweight, low maintenance, packs a bunch
A big suggestion in Alaska and for hiking in general is either a rifle chambered in 30-06 or higher or a handgun such as a 44 magnum. Sure, a .40 might kill a moose just as dead, but let's assume you won't have much time to dump a magazine into a grizzly when it's charging you.

If you don't mind carrying with a strap, an AK pistol still keeps almost as much energy as a full sized rifle, but is a bit more difficult to aim and control. You could put a sig brace on it or something. I doubt the bear would call the ATF, not that I'm suggesting you ever shoulder it, that would be illegal anon. :^)

So best options are:
300WM (or 30-06) rifle probably strapped over back
44 magnum carried how you please
AK pistol carried how you please

>>28317716
Also, for mountain lions, bears, whatever, the best option is being able to identify fresh bear tracks, using common sense, and keeping your distance. No running from bears, they can outrun you. Don't climb a tree unless you can basically do a 30ft vertical leap. Stand your ground, because most bear charges are bluffs. For mountain lions, don't run, raise your voice loud and low, and get ready to shoot it. Be aware of fresh tracks, and don't have food or any sort of smell that might attract either species.

>>28317650
Don't worry about mountain lions. They know where you are long before you will know they are around. They almost always avoid people, and if it wants you dead it will ambush you. You won't have a chance to pull a gun.

Bump, anything?

It was my first rifle. I love it. Great guns

Germany sued America in WWI for them, because it was too similar to the K98 and won.
The problem is that they lost the war and couldn't very readily collect.
So they are gud/10

>>28317429
Both look nice, good on you anon.

The poorfag is strong with this one.

>>28317465
Self-admitted poor-fag, at least when it comes to guns. I tend to put my money into other things.

.22lr.

Literally everywhere, dirt cheap, light, actually pretty darn deadly, and available for almost any platform.

>>28317318

To answer your question.
5.56 NATO and 7.62x39

It doesn't really get mentioned much, but Blood Diamond is solid. Bullets kill people like they should and nobody survives just because they are a main character.
Its nice too because it doesn't try make whites out to be the big villains of Africa, instead choosing to reflect the reality that both the totally-not-Exectutive-Outcomes and the rebel warlords are both equally profiting from the suffering and unrest. That shouldn't be unusual in films, but it is.
Also, its got a sick Car-15.

Nuff said

You turned 18, its high time to start looking for a job, or join an apprenticeship, or apply to local state colleges/community college. Save up a bit and get yourself something nice, you don't exactly NEED a pistol right this minute.

Taurus pt 92 or 99.

I know it's scary, but it's actually a Beretta M9, though the stock mags are shit.
