You pinch the hammer between thumb and forefinger of your off-hand and let it down slowly.

>>31745945
Will depend on the company, just how it is. Read the fine print, know what is covered and how much they're obligated to do based on the warranty; some are obviously going to be better than others. Otherwise it's similar to any other warranty return. Not speaking from personal experience, but just because it's a gun doesn't mean it's any different in terms of warranty treatment than a car, Leatherman, or anything else that has its own warranty.

>>31745947
It's dirty, and a bit weak. If your guns don't have issues with light loads, you should be fine

Haven't had any prob with light loads. Just haven't used tullammo or steel on my handguns. I'm interested in that brand mainly because of the price.

>>31746536
Got an unissued Yugo as mine. They're not bad guns, but with the price they've risen to it's honestly probably better to save an extra $200 for an AR (as cliche as that recommendation is). Unless you really like milsurp, which I do too, then go for it if you want it. They're solid guns and shouldn't ever break (though mine was the exception to that rule for a little bit).

To be fair, the value will probably only rise, especially if it's in good shape and a non-commercially-targeted Chinese variant. Also they catapult brass practically miles, which is fun, especially when someone seven lanes over looks confused getting hit by your brass.

Did you get yours from CF? That's where I'm looking rn, and I want to know if their SKSs are as good as they say they are.

>>31746650
Nah, I got mine from an LGS years ago. Chances are though that straight imports should be fine for the most part, it's where places like that assemble their own guns (AKs especially it seems) that you need to be wary. SKSs, as far as I know, are imported fully assembled and just get electropenned with import markings, so you should generally be safe.

Nice, good to hear that. Is the lack of chrome lining as big of a problem as people say?

>>31746875
Technically it's supposed to make the rifle slightly more accurate, though in the case of the SKS this will never be noticeable. All it means to you is that the rifle will require a little more attention after use. Honestly, it was mostly a problem back when corrosive 7.62x39 was still widely available and cheap, which it is now not. As long as you clean it properly after you take it to the range, you have nothing to worry about.

>Do you want the most customizable battle rifle on the market right now that shares the look and feel and some parts with the most popular rifle in America and will have an ever growing aftermarket into the future?

Get an AR-10

>Do you love the look, feel, and history of the FAL and want to take back Rhodesia?

Get a FAL

OK, might as well ask.

I'm looking into my first handgun. I'm in CA, so it'll be a range and HD gun. I've got a decent amount of shooting experience thanks to friends and range rentals over the years, so I don't need to get a babby's first .22 or anything.

I was set on a P226 for years, as it fits my hands better than any other handgun I've tried, but the recent flood of complaints about QC and the shit Sig has been pulling lately have kind of put me off of one.

I'm looking for something with similar ergonomics to the Sig, particularly in terms of girp shape/angle and trigger reach. I'm open to a poly framed gun. I'd rather a real DA/SA hammer-fired gun than a striker. My budget is anything up to about a grand, but I'm not necessarily trying to splurge. I've read a billion guides and reviews and all of that, but I'd like to hear what /k/ thinks personally. What would you look at?

sup /k/

My dad passed away this summer, and we're going through his stuff. Found a few guns, and two I have questions about.

Is there much demand for a 1916 G98 with matching parts, but non-original stock?

Also, how do I open the action on a Steyr M95?

>>31758255
Lionheart LH9 or REX ZERO if you really love the SIG feel but you dont want to give your money to SIG, but I have no idea what handguns are even allowed in Cali due to your handgun list jew bullshit.

What is reloading?

I mean I understand the act of changing a magazine and you know, actually reloading the gun with bullets.

But what do people mean by "This ammunition is a bitch to reload" and "I'm a reloader."

you shoot bullet, brass shell ejects out of gun, you collect brass casing, you clean brass casing, you buy new gunpowder and new bullets (the actual bullet) and primers(little dimples at the ass end of rounds that are basically tiny explosives that ignite the gunpowder), and you put all that shit together with a reloading press, now you have new round you can shoot and repeat process.

The more you know.

Is the CZ 805 BREN S1 a good gun? How does it stand up to other expensive 5.56 rifles?

>>31758498
It has no aftermarket, its heavy, it costs 2k, it does nothing better than any other 556 rifle.

But it looks different that an AR15 and thats enough for some people to want to buy one.

>>31758527
I want a special snowflake gun, but I also want a good gun.

Where should I be looking?

>>31758544
Look no further, its a cool rifle and it functions fine, its a good gun by all means.

If you can get past it being on the heavier side and having a reciprocating charging handle on the left side (it threw me off guard when i shot it), then its a super neat snowflake gun.

>>31758568
I'm also looking at SCARs and whatever the HK416 equivalent is. MR556 or something like that. Those 3 guns and Daniel Defense M4.

>>31758590
get a DDM4V2, i've heard the MR223 has bad finish because HK only love operator and hate civis ( wich is quite true ), i think the SCAR is only worth if chambered in 308 because no fucking recoil

>>31758590
If you want the best rifle for your money get the DD, if you want to be the dude with the wierd lookin expensive gun buy any of the other 3, all 4 will shoot bullets and are quality made.

>>31758633
If no fucking recoil on .308, wouldn't the same be doubly true for .223? Also with the MR223, is it just the aesthetic that are bad or the actual quality of the gun? Not that a doubt a German company despises the idea of civvies having guns.

>>31758636
I have more money than sense and want to get the bestest regardless of price (even considered an ACR at one point, until I learned about their QC issues).

Question, anon, is it worth investing into a reloading press for any of these cartridges. The cartridges being .357, 7.62x39 and 44-40. I've been saving the casings and contemplating on buying a reloading press but I'm still not sure.

You should be, as long as there's no warrant and it's not a felony or a domestic violence charge. Even if you got a conviction, it's presumably not a felony so you'd be able to buy guns anyways. As for the fugitive from justice part, you're on bail, you don't have a warrant out for you, you should be good to go.

I'm considering buying my first gun, what does /k/ think of the m1 carbine? specifically new builds, the auto ordnance is one I've been looking at. Seems kinda pricey though. My preference is for some kind of semi auto rifle, but I live in NY state so my options are pretty limited

>>31763918
I know it wasnt really a thing back then, i figured since it blew up in popularity maybe theyd reconsider. Surely there are some ATF agents that actually care about and like guns.

>>31765118
Lolno. The ATF is not on our side.

>>31765118
The ATF's "gun lovers" at best are fence-sitting Fudds who think that people should be allowed shotguns, handguns, and single-shot rifles and nothing else, in the middle are people who might like guns but think that "authority" ("Me and no one else") should be the only ones allowed to have guns, and at worst, gun-grabbers who think that people who join the military are sociopaths and loathe the fact that they have carry a duty pistol for field work, but enjoy "cleaning the streets."

You can not own a pistol in CT without a pistol permit. You can own a long gun.

An M1 Carbine IS a semi-auto rifle. Not to mention that, if you're going to get a pistol-caliber carbine, you should get one that can share ammo with a handgun. .30 Carbine isn't great, either.

I don't think this is true. Pretty sure the only way you can legally own a handgun before 21 is if it's gifted to you from a guardian, or you're in the military/LEO. Even if you do get one gifted to you, you won't be able to carry it anywhere legally.

Better to just buy a cheap shotgun or a folding AK to hold you over!

Russian optics are generally made for Russian-style equipment. You're dead on.

check out kalinkaoptics.com if you haven't already.

Only thing to watch out for is be mindful of how high they sit. Russian optics are notorious for sitting high, and you don't want a chin-weld when you should have a cheek-weld

I had a POSP on my AK for a while.

My personal experience/opinion: It looks sexy as fuck. But functionally I didn't like it. It sits very high and is pretty heavy. Overally for a 7.62x39mm AK, I felt it took away being able to quickly engage at close range, which is more of the AK's strong suite. (Yes technically you can still use the iron sights, but I found it awkward).

I was much happier trading out that optic for a micro-red dot mounted cowitness with the irons.

So I'm trying to learn to shoot my pistol with two eyes open, since it's for self defense. My issue is that even though I have tested myself to be right eye dominant with all those stupid tests like "make your hands into a triangle blah blah blah" when I try to line up the front sight and rear posts I always go to using my left eye.

For whatever reason my right eye can't pick up the rear sight posts when I'm looking at the front sight, but my left eye can. What the fuck? I figure I will just shoot with my right hand, lining it up with my left eye, but this is weird as shit. Anyone else experience this?

>>31769012

In a gunfight, you have the rest of your life to find the front sight.

Even the oiling can is coated. Should I clean it off there as well?

>>31769150
This is deep. Better get training.

>>31769229

What I mean by that, my dude, is that defensive shooting relies more on the front sight than the rear. Your rear sight is for lateral reference. I can keep them in the 8-10 at 15m shooting fast after drawing. It's about gripping the gun right and finding that front sight. Put that shit in the breadbasket and pop it off.

Cheaper, I don't know how many 25 round pmags you'd have to buy to offset that receiver but I have a bunch of those I picked up for 23 bucks a pop and those were the windowed ones. If you get plain 20s they should be much cheaper.

PMR 30 is worth it if you can find one. I don't care what people say about caliber. No one's going to fuck with you if you can spout off 30 fucking loud rounds of wmr shooting crazy fireballs out of the muzzle in just as quick as you can pull the trigger. The 2nd Gen is definitely what you'd want though, they fixed that little breaking in half issue

Was he just shooting at a wood wall? Not even a dirt berm?

And how does somebody move into woods? Did they buy the land behind it? Because if it was residential land that wasn't owned by him he should've gone to prison for shooting into/towards it.

And if there was a house behind his half assed berm, and was shooting towards it, he should be executed

A Mossberg 500 wood stock will fit, but not the fore end. If you want a new fore end, you'll have to get it modified to accept the Mossberg 500 ones, because as far as I know the 88 one is made so it can't be readily swapped out. The cheap price does have its disadvantages.

You're so fucking wrong that it's hilarious, you stupid piece of shit.

So I understand that Bullpups have a lot of problems that made them not very popular and they're being phased out but how come all the major bullpups are mainly clear of those properties, like the F2000 and AUG?

>>31776087
Those still have the inherient bullpup issues, but they are considered acceptable trade offs by the people still using them.

Are you asking why guns that don't have problems are used instead of guns that do have problems?

It was a vacant lot with no structures, but someone parked their trailer on it, so now we don't use it. We really only plinked, and there was dirt between two wooden walls, which would have been enough to stop a .22 lr.

No, anon, we didn't fire unsafely.

The SKS lost its place as the "go to" first gun when it started costing more than $150. The SKS now is where the mosin is heading.

>>31746875
Chrome lining is for corrosion resistance if you are forced to store your rifle in field or uncontrolled conditions.

Chrome lining is actually less consistent than raw steel or something like a nitride treatment so it will tend to reduce accuracy potential but help you to keep what potential it has for longer by reducing the rate of pitting (which comes from poor storage and cleaning practices).

Chrome lining is obsolete, it was the best there was available before about 1980, though.

Is the future gonna be 6.5 Grendel and .300 Whisper?

Are these rounds even any good at anything?

the US also made them available to LRRP Green Berets during their patrols for when caffeine stops being potent enough to keep their eyes open.

Amphetamines are very clearly bad for you and destructive but they're significantly less bad for you an destructive than stepping into a pit of punji stakes or getting a new 30 caliber piercing.

If you could get a dose of amphetamines 20 minutes before you got into a firefight it would probably increase your ability to stay alive overall. The problem with amphetamines is that every dose is destructive and to take even a few doses when they re not totally necessary can significantly damage your ability to stay above the dirt for as long as possible.

>>31749301
Don't bother with pistols in .22 short. Your best bet to use those productively is to put them through a .22 long rifle revolver, a .22 long rifle bolt gun, a .22 long rifle pump action, or a .22 long rifle lever gun. Those will all function fine with .22 short.

For your first gun I'd recommend you go with the bolt action, it's a lot easier to isolate your fundamentals and strengthen them with some action that's manually actuated rather than semi auto.

Toss on a value scope like a Burris or a Weaver and focus for your first few range trips exclusively on trigger control, breathing, breaking your shot during your respiratory pause, and other fundamental marksmanship skills.

After that you can afford to speed up a little bit, reach out to longer distances, and push out your horizon. Aside from someone who needs their CC to be their first gun it's almost always best not to get a semi auto first.

>>31750417
Consider buying a pad for your shoulder instead of the butt of the rifle. PAST pads are really effective and tame recoil better with 1/2 in ch of padding than a 1 inch thick soft rubber butt pad.

So I'm having a case of the stupids and can't figure out how to put my trigger pack together. I forgot to take picture of my disassembly procedure and Google/YouTube only shows me how to put back together the HK version which this only looks like on the outside.

buy red dot (or other unlimited depth of field optic) if your AR is fixed front sight. The extra light transmission you get from a 30mm tube is negated by the light blocked by the front sight post.

I would not put a magnified optic on a first AR, and I would not buy anything but a flat top after the first AR.

>>31753960
If you want an m9 or need a HD gun that's a good deal.

make sure you inspect the m9's high wear surfaces to make sure he's not bullshitting you about its condition, though.

>>31753968
.380, .38 spl, or 9mm are usually where people draw the minimum line. Where you should draw it depends on whether you think you will be defending yourself from a 14 year old bare chested and malnourished sub Saharan pirate boy or a grizzly bear.

Because I anticipate needing to defend myself against a large human or small black bear I consider .38 spl +P+ a minimum for defensive use.

anyone know if i can substitute a .223 snapcap for the go gauge when checking headspace on an ar15? my go gauge has disappeared and i have no idea whew it is

>>31754187
92fs is a better deal, better still if it's decocker only but that's a modification you can make for yourself if you want it for CC.

>>31754496
those are some pretty wrong opinions, my man.

>>31755612
Not well. It'd be like tossing your gun into a plastic cargo pocket. It'd bounce around and out of the holster with very little force applied.

>>31755722
That looks like damage to the rifling (maybe a chip at 2 o'clock?). In that case there's really not much you can do but buy another upper or buy another barrel ant toss it back into your upper if you feel like suffering through the process of removing and reinstalling an A2 front sight (I would not recommend).

>>31756002
How about using a flashlight in your support hand, anon? Many smart gun guys have developed useful techniques for doing this over the years.

The ATF has a list of firearms considered antiques and thus exempted from various regulations. Search on that for the black and white answer, though I am gonna lean towards the idea that the seller is wrong.

Depends entirely on how much you shoot the 44-40 and the .357 as well as how expensive the ammo you choose to shoot through both is.

For low start up costs and the ability to squeeze out maximum precision and velocity from your guns for hunting or matches you could buy a simple loading press and simple powder gauge from Lyman. Loading one by one is generally too time consuming to be economical or practical.

If you want to reload ammo and make it cheaper than factory due to volume you should probably go with a progressive press like a Dillon. Those are quite expensive, though and unless you shoot a LOT of relatively rare chamberings you're gonna have a hard time paying off a $400+ loading press with $.02-$.05 per round savings.

Overall, it's probably not worth getting into hand loading unless you live out west and need to make long shots on game or are really into long range shooting matches and it's probably only worth getting a progressive press if you shoot 2000+ rounds per year.

t. anon who loaded 3000 rounds in an obscure chambering one by one

Where can i get mags that fit a bersa combat?

I was hoping to find some mecgar mags but i want to be sure theyll work.

>>31760633
looks like a good buy, anon. My experience with savage rifles has been all good. Their barrels are disproportionately good for their cost and so long as the fact that they cut out bells and whistles to reduce cost doesn't bother you I'd pull the trigger.

>>31761534
"bad" ammo is kind of a meme. There is a lot of ammo that won't shoot quite as precisely as match ammo but for general purpose practice at relatively short range (300 yards or less) it's all able to do the job so long as your rifle is decent and you are up to the task.

The steriotypical "bad" ammo brands are: tulammo, wolf, and factory remanufactured ammo. Honestly, though, I've run through a couple thousand rounds of bulk from these sources and found it all to work fine for range use. The cases aren't as slippery as brass or nickel coated brass and the powder charges are not quite as regular so they may not be as reliable and the really cheap stuff has a "bimetal jacket" which will wear on your barrel faster and maybe restricted for use on some ranges. If you are considering ammo for defense, buy good stuff. For range use, cheap stuff is fine.

The one thing you really ought to stay away from is bubba's basement loaded pistol ammo that get sold at gun shows, because if he got lazy and accidentally double charged one of the rounds you might blow up your gun and hand by trying to save a buck.

>>31762216
aliengear, swap rig, galco, and crossbreed are good entry level holsters. See if you can get something from them. My aliengear was a little wide and too stiff to be comfortable and concealable with my skellington frame, but for a person of average bodily proportions it should be fine.

>>31762502
H buffer unless your AR is ejecting 4-5 o'clock, in that case you need to speed up cycling so go for the carbine buffer.

Stainless steel revolver is a good choice. Glock is probably a better choice if you don't mind your guns being boring.

You could also buy a dehumidifier and hook it up in the area you're storing your handgun.

>>31767378
side saddles are made tight because they loosen up with time.

streamlight 2AA works well for me because I view battery commonality as more important than output. Basically anything with 150+ lumens, a momentary on switch, and a strobe function is good.

>>31768542

M1A
AR10

throw good glass on any of those, know your dope, feed them good ammo, and a silhouette at 600 yards should be EZPZ.

>>31769012
Holding your gun right handed in front of your left eye is an entirely valid method. I wouldn't worry abou tthe rear sight for defensive shooting, honestly. Just get a big dot and be done with it.

>>31769874
take it to the range and find out, anon. High dollar mounts like LaRue guarantee 1/2 MOA or less shift in zero but NCStar probably refrains from giving that guarantee for a reason.

I was wondering 'cause a local gun shop is offering the ACR for like $1,400 and the ARX-100 for $1,200.

You guys think its possible to get an Enfield that:
1)was used in WW2
2)is in decent condition
3)is shootable (can hit targets at 100 yards, bore not completely fucked)
4)is not necessarily numbers matching

for around 300-400 dollars?

For the love of god, what ammo brand should I be buying? I want bulk FMJ and a decent amount of hollowpoints. (FMJ in 9mm, 5.56 and hollowpoints in 9mm) and I'd like something that isn't going to shit all over my guns. It doesn't need to be super high quality and accurate, but I don't want something that's going to wear on the gun too much.

Suggestions?

>>31778317
Not really.

Guns with different lengths of their barrels can send projectiles downrange at different speeds but with modern powder this really has a negligible difference in terms of terminal ballistics.

Guns of the "same caliber" can impart radically different terminal ballistic effects because the same caliber does not necessarily imply the same chambering ie. 7.62 tokarev is significantly less powerful than .300WSM, though I am sure you meant chambering and not caliber.

The biggest thing that changes how much damage bullets do on target (assuming they're shot from similar guns) is the design of the bullet and whether or not they are loaded to magnum velocities/pressures.


Here is a video comparing different loadings of the same chambering shot from the same gun for refrence:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMfXLc7TS-0

TL:DR: Guns of the same chambering generally have similar ballistic performance but magnum pressures and well designed bullets can give an edge to one load over another.

>>31778317
here is another video for your refrence showing how barrel length really does not have a drastic effect on energy and accuracy of pistol rounds.

In rifle rounds barrel length makes more of a difference in terms of velocity but still makes no difference in accuracy.
