Happy Thanksgiving! Talk about 54R and the guns that use them here! Post your rifles and discuss tips and tricks. Beginners welcome as always.
>Cheapest Mosins
Classic Firearms has 91/30 rifles for $190 base. J&G has M44s for $180 base. Go on Facebook groups for the best deals, I found a 91/30 with accessories for $150.
>Cheapest 54R
Cabela's is selling new production 54R for a decent price. Bud's Gun Shop is selling surplus ammo for $0.25 a round base. I'd recommend buying new production ammo once the Bud's stuff runs out.
>How do I clean out corrosive salts from surplus ammo?
1:10 Ballistol to water solution. Flush it down the bore with a turkey baster. Wipe receiver with solution. Wipe off the bolt externals with the solution. Clean everything as normal when you get home and be sure to clean off the firing pin as well, removal from the bolt not necessary. A can of Ballistol will last forever for this purpose, and the extra time taken amounts to a minute or two at the range at the end of shooting.

Was supposed to pick up a hex 91/30 but the guy on armslist was 40 minutes late, I'm sad now.
You are a PMC tasked as one of many to see a convoy of oil trucks through an area of arid and mountainous terrain, known to be crawling with well armed rebels, to a large government military facility.
The journey will last one week, with a 1 and a half day stop at a small military outpost en route (it's to be assumed you can worry about not being shot up in the night while there and it's essentially a rest period).
What gear do you take (food is taken care of ofc, as vehicles with food and other supplies are part of this convoy)?

I will be getting some work done on my 1911 that will require a refinish. However I'm not sure whether or not to reblue it, or go with parkerizing since I don't shoot it that much.That way, I don't have to constantly oil it, etc (please correct me if im wrong).
Will parkerizing make it look like pic related, and will it interfere with how "smooth" the slide action is?

Parkerized is GOAT

Parkerizing will leave your gun feeling gritty until all those craters get smoothed out.
If you do get it parkerized, hose the disassembled gun down with breakfree, then let it sit for a week or two until the breakfree thickens up.

>>27998472
>smoothed out
So like just work the moving parts repeatedly? e.g. racking the slide, moving the safety, pressing the mag release?

So /k/,
Ive been wanting a .45acp Carbine for awhile and i happened to stumble upon the TNW ASR.
I'm just curious if anyone here has any experience with these as I really kind of want one. especially since they're starting to produce a 10mm auto version now as well.

/k/, how many of you have already picked up yours? As far as comfort, I'd give it a 10/10. Because knowing you're on the right side is always the best feeling. How will you all greet our UN liberators. And if they aren't greeted with open arms, what weapons would they use to root out the treacherous capitalist pigs?

I have three. Mostly bought out of curiosity.
The first is a .44 Magnum Tracker. Five shot medium framed .44 magnum. Hotter loaded .44 is sticky on ejecting. Good trigger. Handy woods gun.
That lead to 990 Tracker, nine shot .22 LR. Double action trigger is pretty bad, Single action is nice. I put an optic on it for a rimfire silhouette match at the club. It will cut a half inch hole in the paper off bags from 25 yards.
Last was a large frame 608 eight shot .357 Magnum. Bought from a freind who was moving to Canada for $200. Accurate. Hot .357 is mild out of it. Has some sort of lock up issue, Cylinder locks up with the trigger pulled and the hammer forward, so it's safe to shoot, but with the hammer resting and the trigger froward, the cylinder will break loose under pressure and back spin. It shouldn't do that.
My conclusion, if you buy one, even new, look it over thoroughly. Their QC has gotten better, but they still miss stuff.
If you can, save a little more and get a S&W or a Ruger.
Pic is the 608 and .44 tracker

Is a revolver that can use .410 bore shot shells and the .45 Colt cartridges awesome or fucking retarded?
I've never shot .410 before, but it seems hilarious. Like a baby shotgun.

It's kind of a novelty, but with the right ammo, it works okay. What you've posted is the Raging Judge, which is a .454 Casull that can also fire magnum .410 shells. It's sort of silly, but awesome.

>>27968708
it's the snake gun to end all snake guns.
other then that you can shoot some wacky .45 colt loads from it and a few surprisingly decent .410 defensive loads

What exactly is a "snake gun"? Too cold up where I am for snakes. I know "bear gun".
Are snakes that dangerous that they need a special gun?

Ask her why she hates guns and then inform her its just metal and other non organic material much like a car, hammer, kitchen knife or plate.
Have you ever been hit in the head with a plate? Fuckers hurt and leave a nasty cut. I know I'd rather be shot than having a pissed off Gf throw a plate at my head.

>>27968519
I haven't thought about that correlation, thank you.

>>27968502
Show her all the anti gun arguments and then show the facts, and show all the anti gun politicians making fools of themselves on stage and point out why, back your side up with real sources.
Basically tell her she's being had.

I own a Russian Baikal IJ70 - 18A 9mm Makarov. Those who are familiar with Makarovs know that the only difference between the commercial Maks and the military Maks is adjustable rear sights on the commercial ones. Does anyone know how I can obtain the screw that would allow me to adjust the rear sights from left to right?

I guess you aren't familiar with Makarovs then.
