Glorious
So I have the opportunity to purchase a Marlin Model 1895 chambered in .45-70 for $600.
>pic related
Should I buy it? So far it seems like a good price compared to cabelas and bass pro but this with set me back a month on purchasing an Original GI Springfield 1903.
>>27909850
Buy the SBL version. And with whatever gat you get, make sure it's stamped that it was made in Ilion, NY. If its from any other factory, don't get the gun.
>>27910900
Thank you.
What does SBL stand for?
>>27910932
No idea, but its the stainless steel version, has a picatinny rail on top, and a larger magazine that lets you hold 6+1. I love mine.
I'm thinking about joining the YPG. Maybe not as a combatant, but I know they need Linux sysadmins.
How bad of an idea would this be?
>I know they need Linux sysadmims
Install Gentoo on Isis computer

Profit

Which do you prefer, /k/? Colt 1851 or Remington 1858?
Personally, I'm torn.
1858:
+Easily removable cylinder; can be removed, loaded, and reinserted in the gun. No need to awkwardly hold/prop up gun while loading.
+"Normal" (Modern) sights
-Not as cool looking as 1851
-Have heard top strap can lead to build up of powder fouling
-Slightly more expensive
1851:
+"Open top" is pretty damn cool (and virtually non-existent on modern revolvers)
+Slightly cheaper
-Cylinder does not simply pop out; must be propped up or held awkwardly to reload.
-Rear sight located on hammer
>>27909763
as sexy as the 1851 is I prefer the 1858 because you can quickly swap out an empty cylinder for a loaded one.
Colt all the way. They're a pleasure to shot once you've fixed the cap jamming problem.
>>27909969
>once you've fixed the cap jamming problem.
How did you go about that?
Has no one ever thought of making armor plates with the same materials bulletproof glass is made?
>>27909637
No, you are the first.
>>27909637
Because it's fucking heavy. There are better things like ceramics that work better as hard body armor.
>>27909637
because it would be many times thicker and heavier compared to ceramic or steel.
could this gun work in irl?
Easily. It's just a 7.62 NATO bullpup in a fancy case
Would not be able to hold 32 rounds in that mag though. 20 at the most.
>>27909449
Yes. Nothing about it is out of the ordinary.
The action it's based on, while obscure, is very real. Too bad we don't have a 100% certain understanding of how it works.
A .308 Korobov with a 60 round casket mag and F2000 furniture? No doubt.
Is ZQI ammo, 7.62x51 specifically, worth buying?
AIM has 240 rounds with a can for $110.
Also, battle rifle / .308 general
>>27909400
It works fine for me. It clanks plates at 400 yards as well as my $18/box softpoints.
>>27909482
What rifle is that?
>>27909569
It's one of those mas 49/56 rifles converted to 308.
What are the basic principles and methods of reconnaissance / scouting in both civilian and military settings?
Does it just boil down to just staying quiet, be unseen and return with as much intel as possible?
What else goes into it?
How do you incorporate recon into your innawoods scenarios?
>>27909381
Depends on your mission m8.
Reconing for what?

Would an ADD diagnosis prevent me from enlisting in the US Army?
>>27909259
why do all the mentally defective want to join the military?
>>27909286
They want to be around like minded people
So my parents want to get me a gift for getting my CC this past year. Have been carrying a Steyr M series or an SP101. My mother (the bigger fun enthusiast) is offering to get me pic related and a holster of choice. In a micro pistol, is there a better option? I went and tried one and liked the heft of the metal frame as compared to my friends LCP and his P3AT and it overall felt more solid.
Tl;dr Should I P238 or something else?
>>27909214
Also, would like to stick with 380 if it is the same size as the 238. Shot the 938 and it was a good gun, but my follow up shots were considerably slower and the 5 round capacity would be identical to the SP101 while offering less muzzle velocity and impact force as well as a smaller wound channel.
>>27909264
Don't overthink it anon, if it feels good in hand and you like how it shoots, go for it. That's far more important that worrying about wound channels as long as we're talking about full size defensive calibers.
No dindu is going to look at the muzzle when you draw on them and say "lol shit wound channel, time to lube your ass"
>>27909264
Bumping with more Sigs
what does /k/ use for target practice? i was thinking of buying something like pic, but im wondering how long they actually last. 9mm pistol i want to shoot at it with and im tired of printing/stapling targets to wood or trees.
>>27909171
Metal targets rated for pistol calibers will last indefinitely unless someone hits it with 5.56 out of a "pistol" at 10 yards.
Keep your shooting more than 7 yards, always wear safety glasses, and always allow the target to swing free. For example, if you buy an AR500 silhouette and hang it up between trees, make sure the top and bottom are unsecured allowing the target to swing, minimizing the chance of a ricochet coming back at you.
Pistol calibers don't require AR500, but you could just buy 1 AR500 plate for use with pistols and rifles.
Pistols 7+yards and you're good to go
Rifles 100+ At a minimum. Can be further (this can also depend on caliber as well-- .270 copper solids will zip right through at 100 yards). The manufacturer will state minimum distances for various calibers
And wear safety glasses
My range gives you free paper targets for a 4 dollar deposit (they are on pvc frames that you need to bring back in one piece). I use those. If I ever get out to BLM land I'll use a piece of cardboard with a dot drawn on it, taped to a folding chair I picked up from my alley for the purpose.
>>27909171
>And wear safety glasses
i understand you can never be to careful, but what is it that im being careful about shooting at metal targets? i mean, i doubt the bullet would bounce bcak
>>27909278
>a piece of cardboard with a dot drawn on it, taped to a folding chair
this is pretty much what im at now. I always see trash at my BLM spot and i was thinking of buyig a $20-$30 spinning target to chain to a tree just so people would stop leaving trash there.
i wonder if there a law against that..
NEW YORK
Pros:
>Scenery is nice upstate
>People are nice upstate and are generally supportive of gun rights
Cons:
>Shit-tier gun laws
>NYC and Albany dominate politically due to population disparity, making the State hell for everyone else
>Downstate cancer is spreading as idiots from NYC and Jersey settle in the Hudson Valley
I don't mean to offend any NYCbros, but your neighbors are assholes.
>>27909046
God damn it. Feel free to sage, 4chan fucked up my reply to the State thread.
Alternately, we could make this a NY/SAFE Act general, but it's up to you guys.
I love living in NYC, gun laws aside. I still keep a handgun and a shotgun in my apt, the rest of my funs live at my buddy's house in VA.
Living in Queens master race. Fuck Brooklyn and those hipster trust fund fucks.
>>27909046
>People from new england
>Nice
shit OP, youve got some weird notions.
Putin has just ordered the Russian Medteranian Fleet to cooperate and assist the French Navy against ISIS, after it was confirmed by the FSB that the Sinai crash was indeed caused by a Islamic terrorist.
1 hour ago a unknown number of Russian submarines have fired a volley of Klub LCAMs off the Syrian coast to ISIS stronghold in Raqa.

It sounds interesting and all but do you have any links?
>>27908675
Russian Mediterranean Fleet doesn't exist. And this is unlikely to happen without NATO approval. And I am sure that NATO will not approve it.
>>27910085
NATO isn't the UN, there doesn't have to be unanimous agreement for an action. NATO has no veto power.
I know this happened a long time ago, but I have just learnt this. Having been aware of this situation for a long time, following it, and even researching/discussing it as part of university projects. Never once have I seen reported or heard mentioned one crucial factor about this situation. The situation being Julian Assange and wikileaks leaking classified documents from the Iraq war, with footage in particular showing US military shooting a group of Iraqi men who were on foot, from a helicopter. What is left out of the coverage of this leak, is that the two main targets (assumed to be carrying weapons) were actually Reuters correspondents with CAMERAS not WEAPONS. 10+ Men were murdered in this incident:

What I'm struggling with the most, is what separates the US from the Israeli military shooting, beating and harming aid workers and journalists, or the ISIS fighters beheading members of the press and using the footage to scaremonger the world. Who are the good guys these days?
Don't wander around a war zone and expect not to get shot at...
>>27908687
This. Now run along to submit your project
>>27908674
Nothing really separates the US federal government from the Israeli federal government in morality, hell you could even say that the Israeli government takes more actions to directly benefit their citizens than the US Fed does. Good Guys and Bad Guys have always been subjective concepts used primarily for propaganda and justifying actions that are things that would be more associated with "Bad Guys".
