Do you guys have any recommendations for bolt action .308s less than 40" in overall length? I picked up a Chilean 1895 Mauser cavalry carbine from an estate sale that was rechambered in 61 to 7.62, but like a retard, I forgot to do the research ahead of time. It seems that a number of the Chilean conversions were spotty at best and that these shouldn't be fired with modern 7.62 loads, let alone commercial .308. Still, I like the idea of having a carbine bolt action in that caliber.

Pic related, said carbine. Excuse the mess.

>>32060004
Go to Kalinka and search by reticle.

>>32061632
did they tell you it was re-chambered or was there markings on it from back when it was done in 61'

i just bought a 1891 Mauser from a pawn shop and the thing was just too good to be true aside from the stock being slightly sporterized and missing the cleaning rod + endcap
if they rechambered it there was no way the pawn shop would have known, the dumbass at the counter thought it was in 8mm

300 dollars is not poorfag

>>32061686

On the top of the receiver, it's marked "1961 NATO." The shop where it was on consignment actually had the same issue, the sales guy and the smith all thought it was 7.62 but it was logged in the book as 8mm. So they pulled it off the shelf, did a chamber cast, and determined it was rechambered for 7.62.

Wtf are you talking about? you can have any number of reticles in a red dot sight. I guess technically its not a red "dot" anymore though...

>>32066505
870s are cool. People here hate new ones but its mostly unfounded echochamber. Mossberg 500s are also cool. Yugoslavian m48 mausers are cool milsurps for under 400, Mosins and Lee-Enfields can be found sub 400 also.

Planning to buy a gun safe in the next few weeks. My main concerns are basic fire protection and stopping your standard redguard smash and grab robbery. Is it worth my money to buy a Liberty Colonial 30 from a local dealer for $1,200 including digital lock and led lighting, or would I do just as well to buy a Cabela's or Academy tier safe for half the price? I understand that these are actually residential security containers and not true safes, but it's going to be hidden out of plain sight anyways and I figure if someone knows it's there and really wants in they will get in no matter how much I spend on one.

Is the cz in Maine worth the extra cost to get it back to my house or should I look for a tikka or cz that's local?

No one ever answers my questions :(

Is it possible to do a private sale, but through a dealer? The seller is a 3 hour drive away, and i really dont want to drive that far. I was wanting to see if it could be shipped to me, never gone through a dealer before for anything though so no idea if its possible

Tikka T3 Lite .308, .243, or .22-250

Or

Savage Hog Hunter .308

Savage stock felt like shit, but the action and trigger were nice. It's also $100+ cheaper than the Tikka. But the Tikka was much nicer, but the cheapest models were in .22-250 that I haven't heard much about.

Want is a good $500 or less full sized handgun

it does, but it's not the end of the world and everything else is solid

only other real option is to find a used gun as all the other good 5.45 rifle manufacturers have either gone under or don't make 5.45 rifles anymore

>>32067409
look for a Tikka or CZ that's local
those are both big name manufacturers, so it shouldn't be too much trouble to have a gunshop order whatever current production model you want
both manufacturers put out good rifles, so it comes down to personal preference
I wouldn't bother buying a CZ in Maine

>>32069794

>>32071563
yes, it's very possible

something like $20-$40 depending on your area
I've found that pawn shops often have lower fees
some FFLs wont accept guns mailed by an individual and will want an FFL to mail it (more work on the seller's end)

If you like it and have fun shooting it then it's never pointless. Enjoyment and having fun IS the point.

I have a $4k precision bolt gun setup that I've never shot past 200. Sure I'd love to be able to take it out longer, and hopefully one day I will. But until then I still have a blast with it.

Would anyone have an idea why a 10/22 will extract a casing, but not eject it?

I just got it, and I've not shot it yet, but it seems to not be ejecting anything. It's extracting just fine, and if work the bolt with some authority the case will fall out, but it won't eject it.

>>32076228
the ejector in 10/22s in on the magazine
examine the feed lips (ejector is parts of the same piece as the feed lips) area for damage
if you're only having problems with one mag, it's probably the mag causing the problem
also check if the mag sits awkwardly in the receiver or is loose

>>32076332
yes
they made a lot less of them and to a much higher standard of quality

just be careful with Finn Mosins
some models were chambered in 7.62x53r rather than 7.62x54r and may be damaged by using improper ammunition
however, I believe the M39 (most common model) uses standard x54r

How often do you guys dry fire your guns? Do you use snap caps or no?

I've never used snap caps but i'm also not big on dry firing. However, I recently did some trigger mods to my USP9 and have been dryfiring a lot lately to get a feel for the new setup.

Some USPs have had cracked firing pins in the past, but those seem to be related to poor heat treating in earlier models and have happened even with snap caps.

There are tons of folks out there who have dry fired guns of all types 10s of thousands of times with no issue other than normal wear and tear.

Obviously if you dry fire a gun 10,000 times + wet fire it another 30,000 and the pin breaks, you can't really blame the gun, or the dry firing at that point.

I'm thinking that $20 per caliber for snap caps is not bad piece of mind insurance, but that in reality, for most modern guns, it doesn't make a difference.

Most modern guns to my understanding shouldn't be harmed by a little dry firing.

I used snap caps a lot though, they are great training tools to jam up into weapons to simulate a malfunction, or to place randomly in a training magazine to force immediate action drills.

>>32079396
Some use AA or AAA. At the very least you can get a push button light using them and put it in a clamp mount.

But by special snowflake, I assume you mean 123 batteries? They aren't really that rare or snowflake. I even have a few rechargeable ones to go with my solar charger- they drain kinda quick, but work.

I just found this one for 609 and it's brand new though. Took 3 seconds.

Pretty common rifles, can probably find a black friday deal too.

I have the opportunity to pick up a 1944 Lee-Enfield for roughly $450. It's not numbers matching but the wood and metal finish, along with the bore, are all excellent. It looks like it was unwrapped, cleaned up, fired a bit, cleaned up again, and then put into a safe for years.

Should I?

>>32082149

M&P Sport 2 simply because it has earned its reputation for being a good AR for the money and it also has a bayonet lug and sling swibel.

You can always just buy a carry handle and put it on as well.

I dunno, but I'm personally holding out for the 5.56 one. I don't have much love for IWI, but that thing appeals to me. I just hope they make a version that takes STANAG mags instead of old Galil ones.

Hey /k/ the watch I was given as a gift a few years back has finally died (had the batteries replaced, went for a swim, turns out it wasn't sealed properly).
Anyone have any good reccomendations for a poorfag (let's say under $300 with Christmas coming up) like myself?

Does anyone ever get really stinky ammo?

I was shooting some pic related recently and it smells like sour dogshit. It's like a plastic-y, chemical type smell.

I've also noticed stinky bulk 9mm reloads that i've bought online before.

What gives? Did I give everyone at the range cancer?

I saw a video of a modified Vz.58 that when you reloaded it after it went dry, instead of pulling back the charging handle, the bolt stayed open and you inserted the magazine and pressed something near the trigger to snap the bolt closed again.

What kind of mechanism is that called and can I get it on other guns as well?

>>32086225

A bolt release.

You get one on literally any semi auto rifle that isn't a piece of shit commie AK.

>>32086263
Huh. I only own a pistol, but all my friends have ARs and I've never seen them using something like that on their rifles, just always pulling back the charging handle.

Piggybacking off the old post.

I've got the opportunity to buy a pre-Freedom Group Remington 600 sans the rear sight for a pretty decent price, but hunting down a replacement rear seems like it's gonna be a problem.

They make modern Remington 7s in an 18.5" barrel. I know the shotguns have issues, but is Freedom Group really that shit that the bolt actions are fucked too?

Today I stripped down my new Glock 19 and decided I was sick of the fucking squeaking sound it makes everytime I rack the slide. I know it's normal but it's really loud and hate it. I fixed it by locking the slide back and putting two small drops of oil on the recoil spring guide (one in the front one in the back). After racking the slide a few times it finally went away, thing is, the glock feels very "smooth" when I rack it, which is weird because I am used to them feeling kind of "gritty" if you know what I mean. Did I over-lube it? My friend has a Glock 34 that stovepipes every 15 rounds or so because he over-lubed it, so I'm kind of paranoid, but on the other hand I only put two tiny drops of oil on the recoil spring assist rod. I guess I'll have to shoot it to find out but that won't be for a while since I'll be going over to my familys house for thanksgiving.

A lot of indoor ranges say you can't shoot FMJ so what options do you have for guns that primarily shoot FMJ like ARs and AKs?

Do you mean steel core?

I thought most indoor ranges prefer fmj because of the lead exposure of soft point and jacketless rounds.

My local indoor prohibits exposed lead rounds, except for .22 and revolver calibers.

They also prohibit steel core/bimetal projectiles and, as a result, most steel case ammo.

>>32086284
There is a certain school of tactical thinking which says to only use the charging handle on ARs because "muh muscle memory" and "muh gross motor skills". I don't subscribe to it, but some do and that may be what your friends are doing.

This technique comes with the risk of bending charging handles since they weren't really meant for such tacticoolery.

>>32091356
And here I was thinking everyone was just doing it because it was cool.

So Desert Eagles are terrible, everyone knows that.

But the Desert Eagle came out sometime in the 80s. Are there any big-bore self-loading pistols that do a better job than the Desert Eagle, or has the Desert Eagle itself been improved?

Have things not improved at all?

do not use hoppes #9 if you expect to keep your bluing.

do not be afraid to use the 00 steel wool. it is so fine that it will not damage the finish of your firearm if you use it medium/ light. do not scrub

Can confirm, this stuff worked wonders on my 1934/1935 Winchester model 67, which was covered in rust.

It preserved what bluing I had left, and even worked as an intermediate abbrasive in between coats of linseed oil/turpentine on the tired wooden stock.

00 steel wool cleaned the wood and steel without fucking up the natural patina or remaining bluing.

Seiko SKX007 is legendary, if you want to be an adult. Or get a G-Shock if you want to be a tacticool faggot. If you want something that looks like an expensive name brand watch check out Parnis, they are basically counterfeits without the branding. Acceptable quality for everyday use, but I wouldn't trust them for scuba, or other serious abuse.

Why do handguns have such high trigger pulls, compared with rifles? It seems to me that with trigger pulls around 10 lbs, it's a perfect recipe for ruining a well-aimed shot, even if you got massively jacked Ronnie Coleman-fingers.

I can understand it with, say, Glocks, which I am led to understand have a trigger safety, but a gun with any other kind of safety would surely be just as safe with a lower trigger weight, as to help with getting off precision shots? I've read that pistols used in competitions will have lower pulls, down to 3-4 lbs, which makes a lot more sense to me, who, in case it isn't glaringly obvious, only has experience with a handful of rifles, but I'd no less like to be educated.

>>32085951
I am very fond of my Bulova Precisionist, and it comes in any number of styles. I would definitely recommend it for a day-to-day watch, but it's not particularly tacticool or anything like that.

>>32092731

10lbs + or - a few lbs. would be standard for a lot of Double action and double action only trigger pulls, for safety reasons I suppose. It definitely affects accuracy, but this can be overcome with practice of course.

Single action (SAO and DA/SA) or striker fired trigger pulls tend to be much lower, in the 5-7 lb range.

However trigger weight is not the whole story. If your DA/SA or striker fired gun has 5-7lb trigger but the uptake is rough and the break is vague and unpredictable, then that will affect accuracy more than the weight will.

So for instance a 1911 (SAO) with a 5-7lb trigger, or even higher, might still provide a much cleaner, crisper, and more predictable break than a DA/SA or striker fired gun with the same, or even lighter, trigger weight.

These things can and often are modified of course. My ruger mk.III (SAO) has a 2lb trigger break thanks to some simple mods, and so it is very easy to shoot accurately and quickly.

But I can also shoot accurately and quickly with my USP, which I actually put a HEAVIER spring in, because it made the trigger break more predictable.

So basically trigger weight matters for sure, but it is also affected greatly by the type of action, caliber, and, of course, the skill of the shooter.

>Why do handguns have such high trigger pulls, compared with rifles?

There has been a lot of people who have been appendix carrying (in a holster) and Mexican carrying (no holster) all around inside their pants peripheral, and shot themselves when trying to draw the pistol while fumbling with their clothing or their "layers and layers of personal living standards".

Handgun manufacturers have known this for ages, and This is the very reason why all of them
have decided to deliver their products with high pull as the factory default. Mainly to avoid consumer complaints and lawsuits.

Whatever you do with the trigger of the gun after you have purchased it, it will be all on you.

So there.

hi /k/ I'm pretty sure I already know the answer but I'd like to ask anyways.

I live in commiefornia and I'm trying to avoid registration for my AR. I was thinking about using a .22LR conversion kit but that's $210 + shipping at least when I could get a henry .22 for that price or less. The AR is my first rifle and I don't have a .22 yet so I'm thinking about buying the henry instead and not complying with my AR.

In other words, should I buy a new gun?

i live in florida and need a all around good jacket for hiking in and around the everglades would something like a gorka jacket be any good

>>32093404
That is the reason for this tacticool technique, and some people subscribe to it. Though it will stress standard charging handles a lot. Operational operators operating like this tend to have some kind of reenforcdd charging handle since the standard ones weren't designed for that kind of abuse.

IMO, it's pretty easy to just whack the bolt release with your palm. Works in stress and is pretty quick.

>>32095700

Guys where does the bullshit that someone without an FFL can't ship a firearm to someone in a different state using their FFL can't do so unless they first transfer it to an FFL in the original state come from?

And to top it all off, since when is a c&r not considered a valid FFL for doing so?

What the hell are you going on about?

How long have you had a C&R? Probably the majority of FFL(01) holders haven't got a clue what a C&R is, nor are they interested in learning. Additionally, they are not obligated to accept your C&R.

FFL(01) holders are a different breed. Many of them aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer, and even fewer of them will bother to listen to some shitstain customer trying to educate them on what a C&R is or whether they can legally accept interstate shipments of a firearm from a non-licensee.

What state are you in and where did you ship it to?

As far as having heard it before, like it was said, some FFL(01)s are just dense. Look at all of the gunbroker listings that specify something along the lines of "make sure your FFL will accept shipment from a non-licensee". Its obviously not an isolated incident.

How do carry handle sights work?

Does barrel length in a pistol really matter, or is it just the sight radius that really changes?

If I put an MRDS on my pistol wouldn't that really kind of make a shorter barrel the obvious choice?

>>32097967
The rear sight is higher than the front sight.

This is true for all iron sights, not just carry handle ones.

>>32097967
Bullets aren't lasers.

Learn to into ballistic arcs.

>>32097967
the same way as a scope. the barrel isnt actually parallel with the sights, its at a slight positive angle.

>>32097967
They aren't perfectly parallel. When you are aiming say 300yds out, your barrel is actually pointed at an upward angle, while your sights are lined up rear-front-target.

/r/ing a /k/ approved show to watch on Netflix

>>32097969
Velocity difference can be significant. Not something like 50% different, but depending upon what lengths you're comparing, it certainly can make a difference.

To some extent, a longer barrel may be easier to shoot due to increased mass and not being as whippy or flighty as a shorter barrel.

It's all compromises in pistols. Carryability/concealability vs mass/felt recoil/muzzle flip/sight radius.

anyone got a link to the Ar/k/?

Why is the RPM for the M4 listed as 700-950 rpm? Why the wide range? Most other guns have a single number listed.

Should I get this? Yes or no.

>>32100616
Are you planning on carrying it?

Only reason i ask is because i wouldn't get a DA only revolver unless i was going to carry it.

>>32100649
I would yes, also thinking of these>>32098977

>>32100680
I don't have much experience with carry guns, but my friend has an lcr and it seems really nice. I'd pick one up if they made the lcrx in 357.

I've got a p938 and i like it. Although if i could carry something a bit bigger without printing, i would have liked to get a cz rami.

>>32100616
Get an LCR if you're looking for a CC revolver. I highly recommend it. It's light enough for pocket carry and is a good IWB with the right holster.

If this is a woods gun or something you'll lock up in a vehicle I'd say get the standard hammered version. IMO it seems too heavy for CC.

>>32100762
I was thinking of getting this actually. Mainly for pocket and actually have a ankle holster that it could work for.

You ever shoot the the 3 inch barrel 101? That's what I would really want if I got a new revolver.

Got a opinion on any of these?>>32098977 same store has good priced Glock 27's and normally get Glock 26's and 30's in.

>>32100808
Godly taste. I was trying to justify buying that version because that copper finish is aesthetic as fuck. Also I think going hammer-less on your CC is a great idea. You don't want to ingrain going SA into your muscle memory. Too much can go wrong if your not lightning fast.

I've only shot the 3" inch 101 a few times but I liked it. It's actually what I want to get when I'm ready to buy a revolver for hiking and general outdoors things. Just long enough but not too long it becomes cumbersome.

>>32100808
Sorry I saw the copper cylinder and sperged out joyously for a second and didn't read the last part.

The LC9 would serve you well I'm sure. I'd go with the LC9s Pro. They've got them on PSA's site for 300. No safety and no mag disco safety is the way to go.

I'm not a Glock guy but I'm not going to bash on the 26. It's a great gun just be sure it's not too bulky for your CC system.

As far as the Maks go I'm completely inexperienced with them so I couldn't give you an opinion either way.

What's a good snub nose revolver in 45 acp?

Hey guys, so as part of my family Turkey Day tradition, the guns were brought out and put through their paces. My dad let me shoot what he claimed was a Russian semi auto pistol from WWII that he acquired recently, and I forgot to ask him what it was. Do any of you know what it might be? I think he said it was chambered in .38

Anyone know what the name or purpose of this structure under the barrel of the pz.IV is? Is it a sighting device of some manner?
Mostly see it in video games and scale models, I assume it was dropped either by later improved design/necessity or perhaps removed by the crews themselves as I can't find any modern reference photos of it.

What does this go to guise? I found 5 of these loaded in a drawer in my grandfather's garage. They are exactly the same on each end so they load into the rifle either direction. I can't tell what the rounds are either. I've seen all the rifles he has but none of them take anything like this.

Thank you for your wisdom.

When building an sbr if the oal stays over 26" can the barrel be less than 16"? I'd like to build an ar with a full stock and a 14.5" barrel with a mid-length gas system. I'm 6'5" so a full stock is about perfect for me, I'm just wondering if I can get away with the 1.5" shorter barrel due to that.

>>32104723
Looked up a picture, that's it. Thanks.

>>32104936
No. You cannot.
A barrel legally shorter than 16" makes the receiver by default a SBR regardless of the rifle's overall length once assembled.
Get a 14.5" barrel and have a muzzle device, of sufficient length to bring the barrel's length over 16", 'permanently' affixed to the barrel. Silver soldering or a blind pin into the threads capped by a weld are both permanent in the eyes of the law and thus add to legal barrel length.
There are many muzzle devices out there suitable for this purpose, just remember that barrel length is measured from the face of the bolt in battery to the end of the barrel.

>>32104936
>>32105012
>When building an sbr
Now that I re-read your post I'm a little confused exactly what you're asking.
If you're building a SBR, OAL doesn't really matter obviously but you can't cheat the SBR barrel length classification by having a >26" OAL and you should never undercut the barrel length you applied for on your stamp. People frequently apply for pistol length barrels just in case they ever want to do it in the future but typically build something longer.
If you're building a pistol you can have a foregrip on a short barrel as long as you stay over a certain OAL without it turning into an AOW,
but TLDR short barrel <16" + buttstock is always a SBR.

>>32105012
Fuck. Thanks

On another note if the hearing protection act passes would a permanantly affixed suppressor (probably a bad idea for cleaning) count towards barrel length?

>>32105077
>when building an sbr
Ignore that part, im retarded

>>32105090
Yes, it would count.
Just something you don't see often currently because they are expensive, there is a waiting period, and that's pretty much guaranteed to void the warranty. Currently the barrel assembly would become a NFA item and I must admit I'm not sure how the law would regard them if you were to remove/separate them from each other, if the act passes and silencers are pulled off the NFA registry I can only assume it wouldn't matter.

It will probably become fairly common with budget silencers if the hearing protection act passes into law.
It probably wouldn't be too bad to deal with if you had an ultrasonic cleaner you could submerge at least the silencer inside.

I can only imagine the nuisance cases that would be brought against ranges that allowed people to fire without one. It's going to be weird seeing range rules requiring them.

Black Friday gun question: which should I get for 200 bucks: LCP/custom or Polish P-64?

>>32105155
God, just imagine building a 10.5" upper with a 6" suppressor and not feeling like you've been fucked in the ass by the atf.

I'm building my first AR

Is a forward assist really necessary in modern designs? I've heard it's mainly leftover from the days of shitty early A1s

My trigger reset on my Arsenal AK is way too stiff. I basically have to let the trigger go all the way to get a reset. I would like it to be crisp. Should I cut down the disconnector spring or do all ak pattern rifles resets suck?

>>32105248
Bump

I was unable to find the part at Dixie or The Rifle Shoppe, in any LGS or through google. I can only find modern, more oval plates.
Are there any good sourced of wedge plates for black powder guns? The one I have that needs a replacement uses a rectangular plate, and nowhere I have encountered so far offers one in that shape.

>>32105248

I got one of those surplus vz70s (CZ based on the Walther pp) from bud's for 190 and I've been diggin it. Really fun little gun.

JPC does something a whole fuck of a lot different than the pig or mayflower

This is like asking whether to get a sports car or a truck..... what the fuck are you trying to do with it

>>32083300
I never use snap caps and dry fire all the time. I may just be unlucky, by the Firing pin retaining pin broke in my CZ 75BD and I replaced it with a semi-roll pin with a gap that can be dry fired without breaking. Also my LC9s broke it's firing pin after firing less than 100 rounds likely due to dry firing. I took it out one day and it wouldn't fire.

>>32108658
How do you like the LC9s? Was thinking of getting one now that there 300.

>>32108532
No, he's pretty much spot on. Barrel is ever so slightly pointed up and sights are parallel to target.

That's how you get zero and repeat zero.

>>32108532
Don't fight the laws of Nature. You'll lose. :)

>>32109188
Cheap and concealable. Not a lot of frills but (should) do what it needs to do. I got the pro without the safety and mag disconnect. I probably doesn't make a difference. The trigger is long like a double action only but relatively crisp in the break. It's a carry piece.

What pistol for my cyber noir fantasy life?
- Walther P99
- HK P2000
- ...

>>32112051
add IWI Jericho 941 to that list

Walther p99 is a very good choice if you don't mind the hassle that is disassembling it

HK P2000 is also decent except the ergonomics of it feel a bit off, kind of brickish

How do I tell which caliber my 1911 magazines are for? I inherited a couple 1911s in .45 and one 1911 in .40 from my dad but the magazines are mixed together and they don't have markings to say which caliber they are for.

>>32112095
Yeah, Jericho has a good look.

What's so strange about the P99 breakdown?

I do have a question
Why are aircraft inlets separated from the main fuselage?
I have seen that in almost every airplane that has engine inside the aircraft and with their inlet(s) anywhere except from it's sides.
Is it to get rid of the Boundary Layer?

>>32112186
*except from the front of the aircraft
>Like the F-86 or the F-8

Ruger GSR or Tikka T3?

>>32112186
I'm not an expert, but I'd have to think it has to do with airflows. If they were flush with the fuselage it would be less efficient as some air currents would pass right over, rather than into it.

>>32112212
Tikka. Trust a Finn to make a good rifle. Trust Ruger to make cheap shit.

In order to release the slide from the frame there's a button you have to depress with a special tool that comes (hopefully) with the gun, and can be a real bitch to get to work.

Hickok did a video on the Walther CCP and disassembled it 4 and a half minutes in, it's essentially the same as the P99.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19ajx2X1RqA

That's really the only downside of the P99, which even then can be a blessing in disguise as it means it's less likely to come apart/malfunction, and you'd only have to disassemble it for cleaning as often as you would for any other gun.

>>32112260
The 8th is the chambered round

Pull the slide back, manually insert a round in the chamber, then load a full magazine into it, 7+8.

I had the exact same question not too long ago, you're not stupid.

>>32112283
Are you using this for work? Will they let you swap out an armor carrier (IOTV) for a plate carrier? Those are quite different things.

Noticed that JG Sales is pushing 1916 Spanish Mauser rifles in 7x57 at retard low prices. The stocks are dinged up, the bores are pitted, the receivers have no crest. Should I get one to accompany my other milsurps? I'm just afraid it will shit up the vibe since it's in so much worse condition? Any other good deals out there for other somewhat uncommon milsurps for just a few shekels more?

What's a good way to break the spot welds on magazine base plates?
I want to take an M14 magazine apart to clean it, but because I'm in Canuckistan they cuckwelded the baseplate on to prevent people from removing the capacity limitation. Also, I'm inna CAF (army) and on base so I have no power tools. Pic related.

>>32113309
If you need tools to take it apart, you'll need a welder to put it together. Do you have a welder?

>>32112944
Yeah mostly for work, and yeah my CO said he doesn't give a shit as long as it's coyote or multicam

>>32112338
That's the CCP though, the P99 disassembles in the normal Glock manner.
