I have 2 simple DA/SA handgun questions:

what's the part called that "holds" the hammer in the cocked position until the trigger releases it (so it goes bang?)

also what is the part called that holds it in the uncocked or half-cocked position? Is it the same thing?

>>30990400
old minis are innacurate, new are overpriced to the point where you should just buy an ar. underfolders dont exist maybe you are thinking about side. if you swap the stock in cali to something with a pistol grip you need a bullet button or equivilent.
>>30991882
the sear. usually there are multiple notches in the hammer one for full, half, etc all are held in place by the sear

>>30991911
sear it is, thank you Anon.

Getting guns is pretty hard here (Belgium)
First: yes, in a few months I will go to a shooting club, do my exams and get my licence to buy a real gun (9mm kaliber pistol)

But since it's hard to get a real rifle here, I want to buy a pellet gun for a decent price (it's not for self defense or anything, that's what the pistol is for)

https://www.shogun.nl/luchtdruk/geweren/crosman/crosman-phantom.html
https://www.dicks.nl/gamo-delta-4-5mm-luchtbuks-richtkijker-kogeltjes.html

I found these two, the Gamo Delta looks pretty China-tier

>inb4 buy a wooden one
I want to but they are expensive for just a pellet gun+

I'm looking to get a shotgun, mostly for skeet shooting, maybe for home defense if I can't reach one of my other guns. Also going to be doing some fowl hunting, and I'd like it to be able to handle a black bear with slugs.

I'm looking at these two shotguns at a local shop.
http://shop.tropgun.com/product.remington-870-pump-12-ga-28-3-wood-black
http://shop.tropgun.com/product.remington-870-pump-12-ga-28-35-synthetic-black
I don't know much about shotguns, but it being able to use a 3.25" shell worth an extra $40? Also, if I can get a used maverick, 500 or 870 for less than $200, should I do that instead?

>>30992057
Do those two use co2 cartridges?

Someone just told me the firing pin block on modern hammer-fired pistols like SIG and HKs is disabled when the pistols are cocked. This seems retarded. Is this true?

I always thought they were disabled by the trigger being pulled.

>>30992057
Between those 2, I'd take the Crosman.

I'd probably go with a gas piston model, but the only one I see on those sites at a similar price is a really wimpy gamo.

>>30992057
webley vmx might be worth considering

>>30993161
3.5 isnt worth it. its one of those things you will buy a box of once then never use again. partly cause of recoil mostly cause of price. even if the reason to have it is just incase and you planto mostly use 2 3/4 the pump has to travel further each shuck which sucks if you are used to other guns.

Where can I get following at good price?

Can someone redpill me on these fucking guns?

Astra 1921. There's three of them at my local Cabela's for around $300. Someone gave me a gift card for $200 so I could walk out with any of the three for $100 out of my pocket.

Two say "9mm" and one says "9mm/38", but i see online that it takes 9mm largo and that some of the older ones ONLY take 9mm largo.

Is this a shit gun? I like old weird shit like this, i just want to make sure i'm buying a gun i can actually shoot regularly.

pls respond.

Don't bother.

BP is a pain in the ass to shoot and most ranges wont even let you do it there. The Pietta BP revolvers are passable quality but be honest with yourself, you are never going to shoot the thing. There is a reason people went on to use smokeless powder and cartridges.

>>30996244
>most ranges wont even let you do it the

See first statement, I enjoy fun.

>>30996244
You sound like a fucking depressing scrub, who has never been good at anything in his life.

>>30996142
Piettas are alright. Do not be super surprised if you get timing problems after a few thousand shots. Fortunately, that will take you forever with BP. Uberti is much better for not much more money.

>>30996986
>Piettas are alright. Do not be super surprised if you get timing problems after a few thousand shots
Good to hear, If I manage to actually fire a thousand shots I would be more amazed than anything.

>Uberti is much better for not much more money.
Well it might only be slightly more since BP is cheap, but it's literally over twice as much money pistol to pistol.
I find it hard to justify given how little I will use it, It would be more of off hand random kinda thing. Like maybe once a month fire 20 or so rounds for shits and giggles. Or let random people shoot it for shits and giggles.

>>30996140
9mm Luger works in 9mm Largo Astras. It's like shooting .40 S&W in a 10mm Auto gun except it actually works.

>>30997133
The pressure isn't too high? What about chamber length?

At least if my glawk blows up I'm gonna get showered with plastic. This Fucker is pure steel.

wheres the place to look for a push to talk that will connect a yaesu FT-60r (single pin, small size, think headphone pulg) to Peltor comtac's (single pin, Large size, think its military standard(other than six pin style))

>>30997324
Obviously you shouldn't shoot +P, and you might want to stick to 124gr stuff for maximum compatibility, but other than that I wouldn't worry about it.
If you reload, you could just roll your own 9mm Largo; Starline makes brass for it.

>>30997366

It's a great way to ensure a good, consistent cheekweld.

>>30997815
When I was very first taught in basic in 2006, we were forced to do that. Outside of basic training nobody does it though.

If you have trouble getting a repeatable cheekweld, get a sticky backed velcro strip and put the soft side of the velcro on the stock where you put your cheek as a tactile marker for yourself.

>>30996142
Do not. I bought mine and the timing mechanism broke after 24 rounds shooting light loads. Maybe mine was a fluke but I think they are so cheap because they don't expect the fuds that buy them to actually fire it.

Should you clean and re-oil handguns right after purchasing one, or does it matter?

>>30998426
there's nothing wrong with cleaning and oiling your gun, anon
plus it really depends on the gun and how dirty/used it is

>>30998426
I oil and clean every gun I buy before shooting them. New or used.

If the gun is new, I like to remove any bullshit that might be in the barrel and to get rid of the factory grease.

If the gun is used, I just do it for peace of mind.

Most domestic rifle manufacturers are producing very, very nice introductory hunting rifles for $300-ish. The Ruger American and Mossberg Patriot spring to mind. And enough people have gotten into AR's that they can be had for around $500.

pls no bully but im a new shooter and my fingers and hand are raw from my weak hands racking the slide and shit on my new shield (first gun ever) and i was wondering will my hands eventually not be gay and is there anything i can do to speed up the process? also my hands sweat quite a bit which makes it even harder for my weak ass to rack and release the slide and what not is there anything to do about that?

>>31003937
Damn son, you need to go do some gardening or auto repair or something to take the bitch out of your hands. But anyway, whenever you're just sitting around not doing much, like shitposting or watching youtube or something, keep your gun nearby and just fuck around with it. Rack the slide, dry fire it, drop and reinsert mags, etc. Just kinda dick around with it and finger fuck it. Your hands will start to become more familiar with manipulating the weapon and you'll familiarize yourself with how it works and build up dexterity and strength. I'd invest in some snapcaps for you to practice with as I believe prolonged dryfiring on an empty chamber can damage your pin and its better to notice if you fucked up with a snapcap than with a live round. For the love of God ALWAYS MAKE SURE TO CLEAR YOUR WEAPON WHEN YOU PICK IT UP and ALWAYS FOLLOW THE FOUR RULES OF FIREARM SAFETY. For a new shooter it can be very easy to forget if its loaded or accidentally load it if you don't know what you're doing (I've done the second one. If somebody else hadn't noticed what I did it could have led to an ND.), and its a good habit to start at any rate. If you could try racking the slide like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSiOq_uvCmg

>>31004108
thank you very much for the advice and ive read all about safety for weeks before even getting a gun and dont even carry it loaded yet as i havent even been to the range with it. ive shot my dads kahr cw9 before but only two mags heh. yea ive started working out over the past year and doing more yardwork ive got calluses on my palms now but my fingers are still pretty weak.

>>31004156
Just give it time, don't worry about it too much.

>>31003937
I find new guns are a little stiff to start with. I like to unload it, then rack the slide and aim it at any dindu who comes on Netflix. Keeps me sharp, helps me get into my sights faster, and loosens up the gun. Plus it's fun to hear my wife comment when I point a gun at the TV whenever a melanin gentleman comes on.

A buddy of mine sold me his fns 9mm. It's the model with the stainless slide. I've never done any gunsmith type work before but want to re-coat the slide and barrel to match the black grip. What do? Can't really find much Google wise.

>>31003937
My hands were calloused before I shot anything. Manipulating a weapon built up the callouses I had and broke new skin. If the skin breaks you need time off and let that heal. If it just hurts it just hurts new callous' will form.

>>31004108
Also to add onto this, clear the room where you are of live ammo. Last thing you want is to derp a live round into the mag instead of a snappy.

Don't let what I say don't take that as gospel especially if you're impressionable. sometimes when it hurts, a blister forms. blisters break easily i've walked that shit off but sure as hell didn't want to look at it or let others. It hurst a lot but feels a lot better after.

Try wrapping as much of your finger on the trigger as possible. Slow trigger squeeze and release. Make sure your are applying pressure on the grip with your bottom two finger as much as the top fingers, many people don't apply enough pressure with the pinkies.

Cock your elbows our slightly to the sides and let the recoil bend your elbows rather than your wrists. This should cause recoil to become more of a horizontal slide back towards you rather than the gun flipping up. This allows you to control recoil better and line up followup shots fast.

Keep your eyes on the sights a couple of seconds after you've shot. Don't immediately try to look at where you hit the target. Trying to check the target may cause you to accidentally move a bit too early and throw off your shot.

Iso stance, and ideally a "boxer" foot stance when you can get it.

Unrelated to shooting itself, but when you reload, bring the pistol in toward your body and up near your face rather than keeping your arm straight. This is tacticooly known as bringing it to your "workspace".

Thanks, lad. I'll try this the next time I shoot.

i'm getting my license soon & this is 1911 I like the most in 9mm. only thing is i don't like the sights on the basic version, & i don't have the experience to change them myself. can i order it with different sights or should i just buy the version with the accessory rail? lastly who else just doesn't like that clean chrome looking version in the middle?

Does anyone know if the XM4 carbine used an M4 or M4A1 barrel? I know about the experimental A2 short barrels, but most pictures of XM4s I've seen have the 203 cut forward of the FSB, but I can't find a picture of an XM4 without handguards.

You know how when you go shoot at a range, your ear protection pushes the temples of your eye protection into your head, and after an hour or so you get a headache?

What eye protection do you wear to stop that? I'm wearing pic related for my ears if that matters.

I just want to be comfy while I shoot.

Get some sonic defenders (plugs) and wear them with the little holes sealed up.

They are just as good as muffs and you don't have to worry about your eyepro interfering with comfort (or sound proof-ness)

>>31016027
I spend a lot of time at work with eye and ear protection (gardening stuff), and I just push the limbs of my goggles up so they rest above the earmuffs. Probably looks stupid but I don't care.

>>31016027
A few places make $80ish hi speed lo temple glasses, but you're better off getting >>31016059. If you get the ones with foam plugs (i forgot the ep number) it works flawlessly, and as an added benefit won't accidentally get knocked off shooting a rifle.

Hell of a lot lighter and not as hot either.

It might also be possible to find eye protection fastened by elastics, you know like swimming goggles.

Has anyone experienced this with an M1903? I took it out for the first time today, first shot there was a little bit of gun powder that hit my face, and the second shot there was a lot more so I stopped shooting. When I opened the bolt the magazine was crooked. It still has a strong smell of gun powder so something definitely went wrong.

Also I was having problems chambering rounds because I was messing with what I now know is the magazine cutoff.

>>31017935
You'll probably get duds. 22 LR ammo ages poorly.

we'll take him on the weekends, but we have to renegotiate when fall rolls around.

I've got a Galil build I just finished, and one thing that irks me is the front night sight kind of just dangles, it doesn't stand straight up like it should, does anyone know how I would go about fixing this?

>>31017899
do not

I dunno about that exact uniform, but they do sell German kit

If you're an IL resident, you need a FOID
If you're not an IL resident, then you need no FOID

If I get all the necessary parts can I get a gunsmith to assemble a gun from a parys kit + barrel and receiver?

>>31019977
Might be more expensive/hassle than just buying a built rifle.

Should you clean a new gun?
Are they supposed to be kinda dirty from factory testing or something?

>pick up long gun at store
>visible marks of dust on the stock like it got stepped on
>bore snake turned pretty dirty after running through barrel
>black and brown grease all over the parts, might be factory lube
>brown/red substance on trigger assembly, can be scrubbed off

>>31019977
what kind of gun? you might have to send it off to a specialist depending on the gun itself

>>31020792
That brown red shit is on most new guns.

I clean my new guns usually. I think I had a glock or two over the years that I fired right out if the box, but those things generally run well anyway.

Hey kommandos, I'm in the market for a mid to high tier plate carrier and was wondering if yall had any advice/experience. Padded shoulders are a must and a quick doffing capability would be nice.

>>31022261
PIG. PIG all the way. It's not even super expensive, but it's the fucking shit.

The way the shoulders adjust for fit is great. The fact that the shoulders have clips on them helps very much with quick doffing.

The flap in the front is split, which helps with both quick donning and doffing.

Any Washington and specifically Seattle fags know how good the state is for fun rights? I'm a CA fag so anything else is a step up. Might be moving there and this definitely factors in

I've seen poly chokes on some old mossbergs, can they be removed?

Awesome, thanks senpai.
Follow up question, what plates would you recommend? I received a free pair of shooter cut III+ AR500 steel plates with trauma pads from a friend but I know AR500 can have their shortcomings

>>31022802
>Steel plates

Pic related.

Get some ceramic ESAPI, or if you can manage a hookup, XSAPI. Otherwise a reputable ceramic dealer like SKD or Greyghost.

I would always get backer inserts even with standalone rated plates, if only for comfort issues or peace of mind. They weigh almost nothing.

Why did pistols used to have magazine latches instead of mag release buttons? It seems like a very bad design decision unless they were really easy to move (which from what I've seen, they aren't) or if pistols weren't really used commonly. Not necessarily on the Mak, but in general.

>>31023353
It's a simpler design, and considered acceptable for the mechanical facilities of the time.

>>31022449
I'm in the exact situation and would like to know as well, although I'd probably be moving around Olympia.

I fucked up and bought a pre-war MAS 36 which has a stock that had been fucked with in what could be a half-baked refinishing job.

Would it be a bad thing to move the metal parts (which are matching) to a new stock set?

I intend to keep the original stock and will include it with the gun if I decide to sell my fucked up one.

Just have a look at what police and military agencies around the world use. It'll mostly be Glocks, SIGs, some types of 1911s, CZ75s and their variants and similar stuff.

>>31006549
Not really, no.
You could probably design something with a backpack-sized capacitor for a handful of subsonic shots, but it's not gonna be any quieter than an integrally supressed gun like the DeLisle or MP5SD because you'll still have a moving action that will make some sort of sound if you wanna have a semi-auto coilgun.

I recently purchased a helmet for WWII reenacting and sent it off for some refurbishment
apparently, I had a Vietnam liner in a front seam
now I need to find a WWII (or at least wartime style postwar) liner

how much should I pay?
where besides eBay is good to look for a deal?
