My wife's one. Right-handed, but left-eye is dominating. She just fires everything like a leftie, and it seems to work fine.

>>27933820

3 of the last 5 people Ive taught to shoot ended up being cross eye. Its not such a big deal for handguns because you can adjust your head behind the sights. But for rifles you just need to bite the bullet and learn to shoot leftie because of stocks.

>>27933820
I'm cross eye dominant. I shoot rifles lefty, and handguns i just shift the gun over and use my let eye, but hold them normally apart from that.

>When it comes to reloading .223/5.56 or .308/7.62, what's different?

I bought a similar kit from Lee. Wish I hadn't.

The press is decent.
Powder measure is shit.
Scale is beyond shit.

I would buy a press, powder measure and quality digital scale all separately, as well as all the small, little ancillary stuff you will need.

That kit will get you started. But within a year you will have replaced 75% of it.

I want to start reloading as well but I don't know where to start. There are guides online but they are pretty intimidating.

>brit speaking his silly mind on what "calibre" is effective
Bro, our mass shootings are fucking proof that 5.56 is a terminal stopper.

>>27933782
5.56 isn't great (still better than 7.62x39 overall) with SS109. It's fucking awesome with good ammo.

Britain is hilarious.

>Would you rather have an AK in 5.45x39 or 7.62x39?
I would rather have an AK in 5.56x45 or 7.62x51.

heres what RAR looks like.

I really like the history and wood/steel on model 60s. But I already have a semi auto. I have always wanted a model 60 though since I started shooting but couldnt find one 3 years ago when I first started.

10 guns later I kinda want one.

For the ruger It takes same mags as my 10/22 and has irons which is nice backup till I buy a scope.

If I was to spend 300 or so bucks what would be a decent substitute 180ish bolt action so I could just get a model 60 and a bolt action?

Or do you think thats dumb?

>>27933568
I'd suggest something in .17 HMR--so you have a better chance to find ammo during a scare.

>>27933632
I have plenty of 22lr in my area thankfully so no worries there man.

I can't stomach spending more than 20 cents for rimfire as I don't hunt.

Hit up the CMP while they still have garands. Hell I don't even know if they do anymore desu.

I got a 1943 Springfield a few years back.

Do you want a bolt action or semi auto? That should make your decision easier.

Be aware of low serial numbered 1903 rifles. I got a rifle manufactured around 1912 or so, I never took it shooting due to fear of the receiver exploding so I ended up selling it. Probably would have been fine but I figured not to risky my pretty face. Still looking for a good deal on a 1903a3

I'd go with the garand. They're pretty cheap from the CMP and a ton of fun to shoot. You can get a field grade for $640 or a service grade for $740.

Pic related, best $740 I've ever spent in my life.

>>27933519
CMP
you have to go through a song and dance to be able to order from them, but when you can, get 10 of the 1911 mags, and an m1 garand. the garand collector's association is one of the cheapest clubs you can join to satisfy their club requirement.

Beretta Tomcat in .32acp ?
7+1 capacity.

1 don't get the nano. You have to slam the hell out of the mags to get them in, and the fit and finish isn't worth the money.
I don't really like the grips on any of the springfields. They are like grabbing a handful of legos.
Have you looked at the shield by smith and wesson? I love mine, it's small, comfortable in your hands, and priced really well.

The lc9 is a good gun, I just don't think it's as good as the shield. It just doesn't feel as good in your hand.

>>27933458
Just make a slightly enlarged and up armored Sherman firefly.

Boom, now you got the perfect WWII tank.

That depends. What job do you currently have? What's more important--loving your job and getting keked at home or getting paid more money in the private sector?

Do it, get VA and retirement after another 10 years. Let's say you retire as an E8. 50% of that will be around $2500 after taxes with inflation. And let's say you're not a faggot and you're infantry. With 10 years in, I'd say you may have deployed maybe 3 times in country, again if you aren't a faggot. So with all injuries associated with the infantry, such as hearing loss, bad knees/ back, sleep apnea, PTSD, STD's, etc., it's safe to assume you may receive either 70-100% VA compensation, again if you're infantry and not a faggot. That can add an additional $1600-3000 more a month. That's around $49,200-$66,000yr being retired. Think about how fast those 10 years went. And I guarantee you that civilian work is just as stupid as the dumbest shit you do while in, like cutting the grass with scissors, sweeping the dirt, etc.

Heretics!

Paper, mostly. Killed a watermelon once.

I killed a rotten turkey with 44mag jhp

>>27933256
it is possible, but you really need to work hard to achieve that in normal circumstances.

>>27933256
Russian made Kalashnikovs should never jam. But alot of the AKs you'll find aren't genuine, so yes.

You already posted a picture of it

And I managed to squeak one in when they still had folders on them which is a plus, eve though I never use it

>>27932981
basically a vepr or saiga. You already knew this answer.

>>27932981
The basically any benelli, m3 and m4 are used by the military, and are quite good, some people really like wingmaster but I personally have no experience.

A nice 28" over and under for trap. I have all necessary "utility" guns. Got nothing nice though.

>>27932865
Same as you OP. I need an MP5 in my life.

I live in kindof a rough part of town and also my apartment door is pretty much right off the street and lives into my living room. Am I allowed to carry my firearm outside or wherever I want so long as i don't point it at anyone?

Concealed carry bro. Don't just sperg out with a gun in your hand because the UPS guy is dropping off junk you ordered from Amazon.

Pic very related.

80's want their rig back

>>27932818
Because it's a goddamn mess and you can draw faster from the natural side, reaching across is further away.

>>27932818
Because they don't cost 600 dollars. Get some armor to go underneath, IIIA vest for that RAINBOW look or a slick plate carrier with IV plates in it. If you get one with a holster you can remove, stick it on the belt and put the extra mags where it used to be. When I ran one, I used the right most magazine pouch that could not possibly be reached with my off hand and stuck an IFAK in there.

Make sure to wear eyepro for possible ricochets

If they are aluminum maybe. But don't do it anyway
