Way to guard that Rhino!
good job!
seriously though, when is somebody just going to start cloning the fuck out of that thing and reintroduce them to the African wilderness.
we've been cloning bulls for years (bull riding), cloning a rhino shouldn't even be a challenge.
>the last dinosaur
>>29468178
that look on both of their faces. one of pure terror and the other hoping he's not going to be forced to shoot the rhino.
both of them definitely respect that rhino and are fully aware that it could kill them if it chose to.
gotta love American press and their idiot ideas.
I'm American as well by the way; I can just picture the photographer making the request.
So /k/ tell me why the g3 is so widespread in Africa? It must be good for something right?
>>29468350

>>29467710

Also they could probably introduce a population of cloned rhinos to Texas or something and make it easier to protect them.
>>29468350
.308 was the main export caliber of the West during the Cold War.
Slav allies got AKs and supplies of 7.62x39mm.

>hurr not ethical
Wasn't there some serious discussion about cloning and growing extremely endagered species in the States and just letting the real ones die from Africa?
>>29468749
if there was, the only decent ethical argument would involve the introduction of a non-indigent species to a new environment (see pigs, pythons, cane toads, and rabbits). plus this would be an extremely effective means of reviving the white rhino population (especially since that one specimen in the pic is the last of it's kind).
plus the cattle industry has been employing cloning for various purposes since they cloned the sheep.
As for the rodeo, no animals are harmed any worse than they are out on the range (barring accidents involving cantankerous bulls). the individual events in the rodeo are all based directly upon the tasks required of those who manage the herds (usually called cowboys).
>>29467320
what kind of sight is that?
>>29468572
>>29468626
Its a free public range 20 minutes from where I live where you can shoot anything you want (minus tannetite and 50BMG) with no range officers and rarely any people. Hate on it all you want, but I had a ton of fun shooting shaken up ginger ale cans on the second and third berm. The benches are higher than the range so at 25 or 150 yards you are still shooting down into the berm.
>these gelatinous anons
>>29468350
>why the g3 is so widespread in Africa?
It's cheap to buy. All their hand-me-down Commonwealth L1A1s are finally worn out but only Brazil makes FALs anymore, however Turkey and Pakistan crank out G3s for pennies, and Northern Europe is dropping 7.62x51 for 5.56x45 so there's lots of surplus G3s available. If they want to stay REAL FUCKIN' NATO they have to go with the cheapest option, since they can't afford large numbers of SCARs or 417s.
>>29469175
>dat open field on the right
A stray .308 is easily effective up to 3 miles.
>>29469368

>>29469368

If I miss in a manner that is going to send that round 3 miles, a berm wouldn't have stopped it cause it would be going way over. Also this range is in the middle of bum-fuck-Egypt North Dakota

The point of BRs is that their larger caliber rounds are ballistically superior in every way (power, range, speed, and accuracy) than the rounds commonly used in modern assault rifles.
>>29467261
God damn it, is there any way to mod a G3 so it DOESN'T mutilate the brass? I've wanted one since high school, but I handload now. I don't want my brass getting chewed up. That's a no-no.
>>29468749

>>29469901
>>29469920
Yes, how the hell do you bypass the fluted chamber problem?
>>29469920
You put it on the ejection port and it helps protect the brass since that's where the majority of the damage occurs.
>>29469942
The fluting damage is minimal compared to the ejection.
>>29468518
How much of a difference is there between the two rounds?
>>29469953
/scribbles note
Thank you. Anything else I can do to save my brass without affecting the reliability of the weapon? Are there aftermarket extractors or, I dunno, something? I'm an AR guy. I know little of the kraut battle rifle except I want one.
>>29469960
The .308 is way more powerful. You don't see people going elk or bear hunting with the old Soviet round, as a general thing.
>>29469942
The fluted chamber just puts a few lines on the case; they're just cosmetic damage. The lip of the ejection port dents the fuck out of the hot case wall as it ejects; that's where the real problem comes from.
The port buffer is a chunk of rubber riveted to a metal shell that clamps over the top of the receiver. You can see one in pic related, and on >>29468042
>>29469985
>they're just cosmetic damage
PTR owner here, I have actual flutes along my spent casings. As far as I know, though, most ammunition manufacturers use softer brass than what reloaders generally want anyways
>>29469979
Ok, I was just like there is only like 12mm difference and I always forget how round measurments are translated
>>29470054
/Googles the stats
7.62x39 = 35.6 grains case capacity driving a 123 grain bullet
.308 = 56 grains case capacity driving a 150-180-grain bullet
They're in different leagues.
>>29469960
7.62x51 is a full size round, comparable to old bolt action rifles.
7.62x39 is an intermediate round. Much more comparable to 5.56 or 5.45
>>29470054
It's an assault rifle round vs a full power round. The 7.62NATO has a much further effective range owing to it's flatter trajectory and higher velocity. The downside being that it's heaver, bigger, and harder to fire rapidly. Basically the battle rifle vs assault rifle argument that's existing from the beginning.
>>29469960
night and day, 7.62×39 is a intermediate which behaves like a slightly milder 30-30 while 7.62 NATO/.308 is a full power rifle cartridge designed to replicate garand food 30-06's performance in a smaller package

I practice with my weak side, and though it's more awkward having to reach over the rifle it's not impossible. IMO though, unless you have a super boner for the HK-style rifle you should find a more lefty-friendly option.
>>29471177
It's not an OEG.
>>29471161
>>29471869
Not a problem senpai, left handed operation of the rifle with supporting right hand on the charging handle is not a problem, in reality it feels like it's more on top than the left side so you aren't even doing any reaching even with the rifle shouldered and pointing straight downrange.
I think the HK slap is even better with lefty stance.
But then again I'm a guy who thinks that lefties have an advantage on kalashnikov ergos.
Safety is pretty meh even with right hand on grip, I hear it's meant ton operated on the supporting hand and not with thumb. Lefties hand reach over the gun with right hand or break grip hold and use index finger.
Conversions to lefty safety are available as even Germans did it to their soldiers.
Some of the grooved grips are right handed and even those don't feel bad on the left palm but when you switch to right hand it feels right.
Again you can change grips how you like.

Jambo /k/, my name is Chad Jomo-Grorno.
I'm a 27 year old American Bruddah (African Enthusiast). I draw poverty and disease on my tablet and spend my days not eating and experiencing health defects (diarrhea, starvation AIDS).
I train with my sharpened twig every day, this superior weapon can shoot straight through a wet tissue because it kicks ass, and is vastly superior to any weapon on earth. I earned my twig license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.
I speak Swahili fluently, both the hibbity and the bibbity accents, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about African history and their complete disregard for civilized life, which I follow 100%.
When I get my African visa I am moving to the Republic oif the congo not to attend a prestigious high school and learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become a dirty water collector or a diseased ridden youth.
I own several loin cloths which I wear around town . I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Africa so I can fit in easier. I have unprotected intercourse with my elders and seniors and speak Swahili as often as I can, but barely does anyone manage to respond.
Wish me luck in Africa!

It only applies to the slim plastic ones, and in the US those are very uncommon in 33 length. Wood ones are GTG even on heavy-barrelled PTRs, as are the wide forearms in 33-length.

If its the Socom 16 i understand, but aesthetically speaking the 16 makes my dick diamonds
so is the g3 like a prolonged mp5

Did they feed pigeons lead and have them shit on top of the bullets to form the SP?
>>29481362
MP5 is miniaturized G3
>>29478388
C93s are either great or trash. Century's QC was really hit and miss. I've fired a couple thousand rounds through mine and the bolt-gap is fine.
>>29481362
No, the MP5 is a shortened G3.

In my defense I went to shoot my Lee enfield. This guy who appeared to be 50 brought out a nice FAL and I was oggling it from afar with my friend. Me and him are only 18,19 so this older gentleman looked intimidating. Anyways, this FAL has the same exact same paint job as the range one.

Rarely. PTR bought most of it a couple years ago. Your best bet is Ebay or Gunbroker, or find somebody that will ship from the EU.

Zenith Firearms is working to import the poly G3 and HK33 mags right now; supposedly they're waiting on approval from the Turkish Ministry of Defense for the export. Some came in a few years ago and were sold via HKParts.net.

no

yes

>>29500142
its a DMR
>>29500160
DMR implies accuracy.
I guess to russians 1.5-2moa is accurate
Well. At the time it came out a semi auto 2moa gun was pretty damn accurate.

Hk bipod made for the g3 with the wide handguard.
>ignore the socks
>>29500595
Like I said
>>29500599
That atlas is uggo and is have to attach a mount somehow which I didn't want to do. This attaches directly to the handguard without modification so it's what I wanted.
>>29500605
Why would you even use a bipod on that thing?
>>29471473
>29470749
Actually I remember a feldwebel telling us to do this in an exercise during my BW time. With blanks the G3 was notorious for not cycling the next round and so our manlets didn't feel left out like they did when God handed out the growth hormones.

Some kind of older Burris.
Kind of looks like the C4 to me.
>>29489954
It's made by a company called CCOP.
Same OEM as the 1-6x PA, Millet, and probably Vortex has as they're all Chinese factory tubes. Pretty good glass on it considering it was < $200.
Mine came with Millet flip caps.
There certainly are better scopes out there that give better clarity and quality, but I quite like this one for the price.

G3's are just flat out easier and cheaper to
produce, and G3 production = HK33/MP5/etc production
>>29469778
I wouldn't touch a turk .223 HK or .308 HK - Century C93's are usually g2g and at worst need a little gunsmith love and some parts from HK parts - overall much cheaper
And Turk HK .308's, while decent, do not hold a candle to PTR-91's.
Hold out until he turk's start importing semi auto G41's if you can (Modernized HK33 that for some unknown reason lost out to the inferior G36)
G41 features:
-Bolt Hold open device
-Forward Assist
-Dust cover
-Port Buffer (shell deflector) integrated into front of forward assist assembly
-1:7 twist barrel
-uses AR mags
-folding carry handle
-Better, easier to reach mag release (no paddle mag release) because AR mags
Turkey is the only country in the world producing the G41
>>29469942
>fluted chamber problem
It's called a tumbler - cleans it right the fuck up
>>29469878
>Dents
The reason why G3 brass has a shorter lifespan is because on ejection the brass hits the back of the ejection port - denting the brass.
Dented brass in this fashion can be reloaded but you are realistically looking at 2-3 less reloads per case (good cases, with proper trimming can usually last around 10 reloads anyway so it's not a super huge issue).
Port buffer or German brass deflector
Now guys I have an issue - I have a newer PTR-91 with Paddle mag release and the welded top rail (because fuck claw mounts).
Port buffers cannot be mounted onto welded top rails - unless they are cut up and welded onto the reciever (not about to weld a port buffer on my shit when on some guns they can knock brass back into the action)
My main goal for wanting a buffer is so my brass doesn't fly all over the place, isn't a range hazard, and stays close to me so I don't have to scour a range for my brass, and for the extra life it offers my brass.
That leaves me with only 2 apparent options -
1: Rail mounted brass catcher
or
2: Late issue German style welded on brass deflector - can stick on thin rubber padding to the inside of the deflector
Is there any other way for us guys with welded top rail PTR's?
Are the plastic port buffers made anymore - it seems like that would be an easy mod to work
>>29503189
G41 was meant to be Germany's main rifle and G11 for special forces but East Germany unification ruined everything.
>>29470851
Great Bayonet, shit gun
Should have built a BM59 instead
>>29503189
>G3's are just flat out easier and cheaper to

agreed.
>The FAL is only produced by

>USA
>Argentina - slowed to a trickle - mostly producing just parts
If you're not able to afford a FAL, you prob can't really afford 308. The cheaper made g3 is far from the zenith of battle rifles.
Is 9X39 an intermediate cart?
>>29471161
Having shot enough HK's and PTR's from either shoulder:
It won't be bad if you just tilt the rifle sideways and ratchet it with your right hand to charge.
Locking it open is another story, and you better have the right arm strength to open those rollers so you have to be manhandling it.
Getting an extended (read HK11) charging handle is a fucking must for you.
And don't even consider buying a G3 style unless it has the paddle mag - the button release blows even for right handers - so that leaves you with retrofitting an older HK/PTR with a tac latch or buying a brand new welded rail paddle mag PTR (I have one it's fucking great - paddle all the way)
Aside from that an ambi selector, but they are easy to find.
>>29471473
That's actually an incredibly good idea - lefties could attach a ratchet strap to that also.
Just be advised if you've never handled one without the plastic - they are fucking sharp and can cut you up - wrap tape around that shit
>>29503433
As a lefty, I don't find the button too bad
>Palm on mag, fingers around mag, thumb on release

>>29503494
This, I think it's better for lefties. No need to stretch index finger on grip.
>>29481373
Even the trash ones can be made great by a smith for less than it will cost to buy a turk/HK/non century US made HK33.
C93's are a bargain
>>29500605
And the wider hand guard/bipod combo is bretty rare anon
>>29483805
The swedes cut the front sight off their AK-4's, bought B&T rails (Actually the best there is) when they could have gone weld on, slapped on red dots, and gave them all to the Hemvarnet (home guard).
Overall incredibly fucking stupid of them.
>Hurr durr it's better to just give these homeguard monkeys a red dot and call it a day than to actually train them marksmanship and iron sight usage - we have to cut off the front sight because it blocks durr
Fuck the swedes
>>29503579
Besides Ghillibear, do you know of anyone else who does work on them?
>>29488865
HK parts always has some wood in stock - you might not find everything.
I've just signed up with Atlantic as a dealer (will confirm in a day or two) and I'm wondering if that FAL they have, the SA58 w/ folding stock and 18'' BBL is a good option? I'm unsure about FAL rifles, are the barrels chrome lined?
>>29503189
>USA
PTR has no military contracts, and likely never will. They are not equipped to hand large-scale production.
>nigeria
Actually produces the FAL; they bought all their G3s from H&K, and have mostly sold/given them away.

>Saudi Arabia
Astonishingly, they renewed their license to produce the G3 as recently as 2008.
>I wouldn't touch a turk .223 HK or .308 HK

They've been making the rifle for 40 years; PTR Industries has been making it for 11. I think I know who has more experience in the field of sheet-metal sculpting.

AK4b rail IS welded on; you're thinking of the AG3F2.
>>29503397
I own both - a full sized PTR-91 with welded top rail, and a Imbel 16" Para
Believe me I by no means think the G3 is better. Economies of scale is much less for the G3 series which is why it will continue to be produced and fielded
The FAL is more ergonomic and infinitely superior in carbine form and as a suppressor host, and optics mounts are a no brainer.
The G-3's strength is as a full sized rifle and as a DMR - those who cannot get a welded top rail have to get a B&T
>>29503613
Literally anyone who builds roller locks or does smith work on roller locks will unfuck a Century C93 or CETME for you
>>29503801
Fair enough friend, so what would be the closest thing I can buy in the US, to a swedish AK4
>>29503634
I thought PTR had contracts/short orders to produce small parts for the G3 series for like countries in South America. Practically all of the parts are made in house now. We already know they've had some LEO buys, wouldn't it be safe to assume Mexico has bought some parts from them?
>>29481196
>Rhodies painted their guns with high gloss paint
No, color may be accurate but that high gloss finish is gross as fuck.
>>29503634
>They've been making the rifle for 40 years; PTR Industries has been making it for 11. I think I know who has more experience in the field of sheet-metal sculpting.
Both use HK tooling so it's a crapshoot. PTR-91's now have all the features you would want out of the box (except a brass deflector/port buffer).
The turk guns are too expensive, for that kind of money I might as well push a little further for an HK91
>>29503840
Which AK-4 variant?
The original or the cut iron sight home guard model.
I personally thing the Norwegian AG-3F2 with B&T rail and handguard + OD grip and HK collapsible stock is the sex
If I ever had to fight /k/ I'd equip my army with battle rifles just to watch you faggots turn on each other and unleash the autism until firefights break out.
