Hey /k/ I've got a chance to get a 1943 lee enfield 4t sniper for 4000 $. Comes with scope w/ matching numbers both for the rifle and the scope. Worth it?

Were the Germans issued bayonets for the Kar98k during WW2?

I've been into the sauce tonight /k/. On a Tuesday. Jesus fucking Christ. That bitch is finally gone. Headed out sometime last night.

Save my soul with a WW2 thread.

Could .40 S&W conceivably go the way of .38 Super, in that it will become a niche cartridge used more for specific sports rather than as a mainstream combat/"plinking" cartridge?

Where .38 Super was, to a certain extent, pushed out by .357 magnum, .40 S&W seems more and more like it's being pushed out by modern loadings of 9mm. .40 S&W has found some popularity in very much the same place as .38 Super, practical shooting sports where power factor and other relevant factors are a concern.

On the other hand, it seems like .40 S&W really came in to existence at exactly the right moment (Moreso than .38 Super) and had a lot of time to catch on before departments started to realize it's shortcomings. This gave the cartridge the chance to build up a huge number of Gov't contracted host weapons, as well as HUGE contracts for ammo. Because of both of those factors, it also had the momentum to grab consumer attention from folks who wanted the same guns/ammo as trusted by various agencies.

Would it be possible for .40 S&W to fall into obscurity, or is it too entrenched at this point? The cartridge is only 20 some odd years old, so it's pretty early into it's life when compared to oldie-but-goodies like 9mm/.45, even though it's popularity really skyrocketed in such a short time.

Will .40 S&W continue to be popular enough to stay in stock (Regularly) at your local WalMart or other mainstream sporting goods store, or will it lose it's steam and slide into more of a niche role, having more major, middle, and minor agencies drop it along with average shooters?

To be clear, I'm not really anti .40 S&W, but I've really enjoyed shooting .38 Super guns and kind of wonder if other cartridges have/will come to the same fate.

Picked up another M39, she's a beaut.

I've got all the cosmoline out of the metal parts, but the stock is soaked in the stuff. What's the best way to get the cosmoline out without damaging the original finish?

Did any other anons get alpha access for The Division?

Some things of note:
>fucking huge map
>non retarded AI
>every sort of attachment, up to and including Omega suppressors
>non retarded cover based combat
>more loot than Destiny

Don't be bothered by:
>Borderlands style dumping mags
Damage is nice and allows for intense firefights with a tasteful length

Also the Dark Zone is the tits. You can make squads with randos and work together to secure gear, explore, and hunt down faggots who shoot on sight.

The only possible downfall is if the DZ turns into GTA where little kids run around and shoot on sight. But of course if they piss enough people off, you have a nice little vigilante squad to go hunt their sorry asses down.

And it has MOSINS

I have neither seen a comms thread in a while, or seen one combined with earpro, so I thought I'd make one

I'm looking for a pair of earpro to rule them all! From operating operationally in Syria, to skeet shooting, and I might be able to get a pair of ComTac III's pretty cheaply. Unfortunately the one's I'm looking at have the Arc rail attachments and as I don't have nor do I want a suitable helmet, is there anyway to get the headband back? I've searched around for a spare one but as it's such a generic search term, I'm struggling somewhat.

Also, does anyone have any experience with British PRRs? Looking to get a radio that'll communicate with a small group within fairly close proximity, but have a low chance of being intercepted and more importantly be able to penetrate a lot of barriers. They seem to fit the bill but any advice?

Hey /K, I hope you are all having a good holiday. Christmas season! Help me out here!

I have decided I definitely want to buy either a Bulgarian Makarov or a CZ-82 for my first handgun. What are the best deals on either of these guns? What should I pay? Where should I buy one? Help a wannabe slavboo out brothers!

Also general 9mm Makarov thread!
