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.

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.

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

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.

Because it's fucking heavy. There are better things like ceramics that work better as hard body armor.

because it would be many times thicker and heavier compared to ceramic or steel.

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.

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.

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?
19 posts and 4 images submitted.
>>
>>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"

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.

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..

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.

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.

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:
https://cpj.org/killed/2007/namir-noor-eldeen.php

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?

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".
