Before anyone asks: No, I'm not making new P08's, I'm just making a model of it to study it. Ditto for the AR-7.

I get it was a trade secret and all but it's sad we'll never see how they made everything on manual mills and jigs

Some of the components are fucking silly, man.
When's the last time you saw an ejector so unnecessarily huge before? It is its own spring.
>>34598404
I'd imagine it was becasue of the steels they had available, the spring would have to be thicker anyway so why not over build it to both increase reliability and durability?
No shotgun thread? Shotgun thread.
Regular Bead or Ghost Ring? Which do you like better and why?
Bead.
Because it's a shotgun.

I'm trying an RMR on my Versa Max, but I think bead or fibre optic is the most versatile. Fitment is far more important.

But the point of Unthinkable was that the Western Allies would be the aggressors, why is it whenever you fucks propose these scenarios you have the west/US be the defending powers when in reality they'd be the ones attacking?

Had this delivered yesterday. My second Tenacious. The greenland digital is a little more desert themed than green, but still looks great with the silver metals. Still my favorite budget folder. Metal is easy to sharpen, and takes a wicked edge. Forces you to maintain it a lot, but you don't feel bad abusing it.

Give thanks to Polybius and Archivefag for keeping /wfg/ afloat.
It's been unscientifically proven that a lack of (you)s for writers can lead depression, alcoholism, story abandonment, and an hero.
But it's so easy to make a difference in a writer's life. Just one (you) a day can make the difference between a happy writer and a writer on permanent hiatus.
Please, post now. Help make a writer's day.

Trying my best to push something out. No, not a kidney stone.
Assuming that neither China nor Russia seizes this as an opportunity to start World War 3, how would a ground war in Iran play out?
Personally, I feel like Iran would be much better than Iraq (assuming the previous condition about China and Russia). From the Iranians I've met and spoken to (who visit Iran often), most Iranians don't agree with the fanatical Ayatollahs running the government. The Green Revolution in 2009 is a good example of this playing out. Plus, traditional Persian culture has never been Islamic, and there has been a strong conflict between the Persians and Islam that hasn't been present in the Gulf States, where Islam is a much stronger force. Considering the fact that the Shah modernized the country prior to the Islamic Revolution, we're not dealing with savages here for the most part either.
Further, there's much less sectarian division in Iran. There's no Sunni-Shia-Kurd dispute like there was in Iraq and there's no Iran to provide armaments to Shia militias, like they did in Iraq.
Assume that the war would contain the coalition members in Iraq (US, UK, Australia, Poland) and be up against Iran.
>>34586240
The one wildcard I see here is Hezbollah. Hezbollah in Lebanon could trigger another war with Israel, which would be catastrophic for both Israelis and the Lebanese considering how well-armed Hezbollah is.
>>34586240
I'm not so optimistic. Even if there is widespread discontent with the Iranian gov't, I can't imagine an outright invasion receiving a whole lot of Iranian support. It would basically affirm what the religious hardliners tout on a daily basis. The regular Iranian forces wouldn't be overly hard to overcome, however its highly likely the IRGC would wage guerrilla warfare for some time. Also, Iran is a much bigger country than Iraq so it would take a lot of manpower to secure the country. For reference, I will dump what pics I have of the Iranian military. These pics are probably 6-10 years old at this point so I'm not sure how modernized their military is right now.
>>34586293
Iran still pumps out G3s to my knowledge, the Artesh (regular Iranian military) and the Pasdaran (IRGC) use a mix of G3s, AKs, and Chinese M16 copies. There's also the KH-2002, however I haven't seen many pics of it actually in service. If it is, its almost certainly with the IRGC.

Other than the fact, sometimes it is hard to pick what one to go innawoods with.

Though the Yugo was well past saving. So it shall be my gas cut off suppressed SKS when I get around to it.
This isnt even the whole innawoods collection. Missing a few.

Good news is that the Hi-Power is not discontinued. Yet. Browning still has them available, and will continue to distribute throughout the rest of the 2017 model year.
Unfortunately however, it is on the chopping block. If it will return for the 2018 catalog is all up to how well it performs this year. Due to low sales, the Hi-Power is currently being reviewed for dismissal from production. If sales boost, then it will return. If they continue to remain stagnant, it will be discontinued from the manufacturer, and will not be available starting the 2018 catalog year.
Also what concerns me is the rumor of discontinuing the Hi-Power being fairly well known. This will no doubt increase sales, as people will want to buy in before the prices increase (which happens whenever a popular firearm is discontinued), which might save it from being discontinued this year, but will likely have an adverse affect in the following year, due to sustainability of sales.
I also asked about a possible catalog replacement, and he hit up on the idea of a possible 9mm 1911 to fill the void. While 1911's are my preferred handgun, a 9mm is (in my opinion) not a suitable replacement, either in functionality, or uniqueness, as everybody and their brother makes a 9mm 1911.
All in all, no. The Hi-Power is not discontinued. But brace yourself, as the announcement will likely come this fall. Nothing is set in stone just yet, but the rumor is at least fact based. It will all boil down to sales. My advice, buy one, if you can. If they go disco, it will likely increase in value. If they do not, then you will still have a fine firearm. Win, win!
Incidentally, the likely reason for the mixed messages is the fact that while rumors are afloat (even inside Browning, itself), information has not been confirmed, as no official memo has been internally released to date regarding the elimination of the Hi-Power line.
