Any reason to not get a ruger american for a full size handgun for the home?

Ive seen every video on it and the majority say its its good to go. Ive only seen 1 video with a complaint of thumb knuckles getting hit, but im pretty sure that was a false report now since every other reviewer has not had that problem.

This is my first 9mm, and i was planning to get a glock 17/19 or a cz75. But holy shit, when did the cheapest basic 9mm become 550+ dollars? I could have swore a year ago they were in the 400s. Ruger american is 450$ so im leaning toward that.

Ive tried vp9 and walther but i would like to stay in the sub 550 after tax. And i hate the sig triggers.

Ive dry fired the rugers trigger and its way better than a stock glock which is another pro towards it.

Yes glock and cz have the aftermarket but i feel i shouldnt have to spend an extra 100-200 bucks to replace parts on a stock gun.

Feasibly, but I'd be careful how much you cut. It looks like the shape of it is what holds the follower on the spring.

When you are building an AR, what parts can you skimp on and what parts do you need to spend more on?

>>32230820
Buy good shit for the gas system and a good barrel

>>32230529
I only have airshit pistol mags so no CZ but some fit some don't. A lot of times you can't close the flap and the mags just jiggle around in the pouch.

My friend and I bought a box of like ~100 or so .303 BIV incendiary rounds from the LGS for $15, how rare are they/what are they worth?

>>32230501
Nah that's a Chinese import, Century imports them, you can find them new for <$300

>>32230913
I believe that they're worth between .50-1.25usd a round so I think you did well depending on the state of the casings.

>>32230954
They all look fine and perfectly usable. Oh they were on machine gun links too, like the kind used in a Browning not the cloth belt, not sure if that adds value.

>>32230424
15rd magazines like that were specifically engineered with a relaxation tolerance for reliability and longevity.

It is a physical block that stops you from overloading the magazine past the engineered limit.

It would probably be possible but then you have to worry about what you did to the long term reliability of the magazine putting extra stress on the magazine spring.

>>32230529
433 HEDP grenades are about 100mm long and 40mm wide. figure it out.

>>32230820
furniture can be anything, the barrel, bolt, fire control group, and whatever your sights are are the most important pieces. everything else just get decent stuff and it'll work. "A2 USGI" won't fail you if you want quality for cheap.

>>32230424
i did exactly that with Checkmate magazines for my duty pistol. you'll get about 17 rounds in there, but you might not always lock open on the last round. mine still work alright though.

>>32230936
Are they worth it?

>>32230424
that huge things there to prevent the spring from binding up when fully compressed. you might gain 1-2 rounds or the mag might fuck itself. up to you to take that risk.

I was looking at the Daniel Defense DDM4V7. Would it be a good SHTF rifle? I want something that I could trust if shit went down, looking for something that's quality and not just passable or alright.

>>32230424
Don't do it you 'tard! That keeps you from binding up the spring. Also, it keeps the follower from shifting out of position in the magazine. Basically it's whole job is to make sure your mag works smoothly. Don't cut it off.

What's the minimum dimension a barrel needs to be properly free floated when you bed a stock?

Youtube says just the thickness of duct tape is fine, but AR handguards give the barrel at least a half inch.

Is there any science behind it or is it just bubba "dont let it touch" wisdom


also if you're bedding a rifle that originally needed an inlet in the stock behind the tang, do you still leave an inlet while you're bedding it or is it no longer necessary

I'm in the market for a revolver.

I am pinned between two choices. I originally was looking into a GP100 as the revolver of my choice, but I could get a S&W 686+ for 100 dollars more.

From what I hear, the GP100 has some minor quality control issues, they're a little harder to maintain, and they are a bit bulky, and apparently some people don't like the trigger. Also the grips are ugly as fuck IMO and I would basically need to replace them with the 50 dollar wood inset grips on Ruger's website.

However the 686+ offers an additional slot in the cylinder, it's a S&W so quality control isn't an issue, and from what I understand they can take larger pressures than the GP100 despite having 7 slots over the GP100's 6. Also much easier to maintain and polish.


Is dishing out the extra 100 dollars worth it for a 686+?

>>32231685
Get a Colt. I've put over 3000 rounds between cleanings through both of mine and have not had a single malfunction so far.

Also, buy shit tons of cheap ammo and maybe even a cheap AR along side your SHTF one and practice practice practice. You'll have a severe advantage over everyone else if you are able to put accurate shots down range with every trigger pull.

you only fucked up as much as they are charging you for the space in their "safe"

you're a fucking idiot for knot knowing you need to be 21 to into long guns
and for not knowing the lower (the part with the serial number) is the firearm

do your fucking research, kiddo

>>32233394
It's not entirely unreasonable that a person wouldn't know that you have to be 21 to buy a lower, considering you can buy every other long gun at 18, even completed AR-15s.

>>32233441
Not who you replied to but it's completely unreasonable to invest money before checking all relevant facts. Applies to everything and not just weapons.

He said he had the lower shipped to the FFL and he didn't know you had to be 21, not that he didn't know it was the "firearm" part.

>>32233155
I know 2 ppl with similar problems.
Since you can make an AR pistol lowers are 21 not 18.

Ok so my m16a2 clone won't function with aluminum or steel mags.
But works flawlessly with plastic mags.

I've tried
Different BCG
2 lowers
1 other upper
3 brands if metal mags
Different brands of .223

What the fuck is this?

>>32233636
feed lips

>>32233649
Forgot to mention, the 2 metal mags work fine in other ar15s

>>32233231
That's what I figured, but an acquaintance of mine who actually owns a gun store swore that the 686+ cylinder didn't compromise on it's integrity. But you would be correct, I don't hand load so it really doesn't make a difference.

I'm working on an A1 style build (not faithful repro) and the last thing I really need is an upper receiver. Don't need the assembly, already have barrel, bolt carrier group, furniture, etc. Just looking for an upper receiver with the same profile as an A1, so c7 would work too, or anything else with that seductive fixed carry handle style. My current lower is from Anderson if that presents any problem. I've got everything else all set to be multi-cal running 5.56 and .223. My heart died a little bit when I saw that c7 upper receiver in the Buy, Sell, Trade thread for a good price only to immediately see that it had already been snatched up.

In short:
>where to buy
>what's the cheapest non-shit option
>what price (I am poor as fuck)

What should I do with a random 1/9 16" carbine barrel I have laying around? 22lr conversion?

>>32230424
Beretta makes 17rd 92FS mags bruh

>>32233349
it's because you can make a "pistol" out of a stripped lower, and a licensee can go to prison for selling a pistol to somebody under 21.

Try it and see. It'll probably work, but buy some new followers before you modify the old ones.

What's the best way to test if your rifle is ready for shit hitting the fan besides stress testing it until it breaks?

Everytime I take it shooting I worry that it's just a few hundred rounds away from dying.

Police trade-in Glocks and M&Ps can be had reliably for $350, $400 or so out the door.

In your shoes, I'd buy a police trade in Glock 23, a couple G19 magazines, a few G17 magazines, and a 9mm Glock 23 conversion barrel.

You now have a 9mm pistol and a .40 caliber pistol that's got all the aftermarket support of Glock and more of a proven track record than any of the other offerings at a lower pricepoint.

>>32230820
you can skimp on buffer, upper and lower receiver, gas tube, trigger, pins, and furnaiture if you wish and the gun will still work fine.

Do NOT skimp on optics, flashlight, barrel, or gas block, though.

>>32231685
DD is a benchmark for AR quality. You can buy more expensive guns like from LaRue or Noveske or ODIN Works, but generally above the DD pricepoint performance tapers off quickly.

So i bought an sks on sale, it's my first gun and is caked to shit with cosmo.

Cleaning and finishing the stock will be simple enough but when it comes to oil and lube i have no idea what im doing.

I bought FrogLube™ because /k/ told me to but do i just put a thin coat on/in all the metal parts and down the barrel? Am i missing something? That seems too simple...

>>32232094
The general rule of thumb is that if a dollar bill can slide smoothly from the tip of the barrel to the receiver you're good to go, but more won't hurt either.

>>32233636
guns can be weird animals, some just don't like certain mags, ammo, etc. that others aren't bothered by. I bought a $1800 piston AR and on the first range trip it didn't feed from lancers. Not a huge deal because eventually the gun fed from them after the break in period, but it was kinda annoying.

>>32230842
>the gas system

It is literally a tube nogunz retard

>>32235342
Depends on what you want it for. For most things people want a Glawk brand Glawk for it's the 19, though.

>>32235393
Shoot it for 250-300 rounds to break it in and get used to it. Any jams/malfunctions before the break in is over don't count against it. After the break in, apply a thin layer of lubrication over any internal part that's showing wear (ie. is shiny) and any external part you want to protect from rust (if you don't have a temperature and humidity controlled storage area)

The SR9 exists. They tried to reinvent the SR and the American happened, which is somehow worse in almost every way.

the GP100 is pretty disappointing for what it costs and it's the Ruger I probably like the least. The SP or 686 are just better revolvers.

search it + problem on google, that'll give you a broad idea of possible issues, buy a spare firing pin, springs and other breakage prone parts. that's really the best you can do short of buying another gun, even if you do stress test them until breaking and you replace the broken part you've still stressed all the other parts.

I just bought a Ruger New Vaquero from a gun show. Its great. All black. Are there any special instructions for cleaning these (certain lubes or cleaning solutions?) or can I use the same cleaning kit I use for my semi auto pistols?

Kindof /k/ related question:

Basically, I have a BA in History and currently work security and applied last week to do Corrections. I was contemplating a masters program (from an actual school not that online crap). I know if I do it then obviously any security/corrections job would make me a supervisor but I'd ideally want to do Law School after and practice criminal Law. The catch is my grades were shit in College. Would I have a chance at law school if I did great in a CJ program? If not should I still go for a masters in CJ and try to get those sweet promotions in similar job fields I'm in?

Also, should I get a stealth gear appendix holster for my Shield? What about magguts to increase capacity? I've heard they cause reliability issues so...

>>32236856
>law school
test well on the LSAT and you shouldn't have to worry much.

>stealthgear
if it fits your gun and your lifestyle and you can access the gun quickly it's the right holster for you.

>shield mag extensions
Never integrate magazines into your carry rotation that you are less than 1000% sure of their reliability. Test every magazine *with your self defense ammo* to make sure it works. If it does, you're good to go, if not, delegate it to range use or ask for a replacement.

>>32230977

But seriously, I understand I need to do well on the LSAT's. My question was more of should I get my masters in Criminal Justice and THEN think about law school or just work for a while and then think about Law School and forget about the Masters in CJ. My thoughts were basically "If law school doesn't work out I'll still find a decent job with a Masters".

Also, money isn't an issue with school so factor that out of your advice.

>ammo cost is of no concern

22 is nice and fun but if you want to learn with 9mm or whatever and skip 22 altogether its fine

>>32237762
yes, very poor.

>>32237683
Ammo price is the main boon of a 22. Get the .308 raifu for hunting or scattergat for home defense, depending on whether you are surrounded by deer or niggers. I'd go Mossberg over Remington but they're basically the same. Featureless semi autos are good too. If you want a pistol grip or AR just wait though.

>Everything acquired new
Your "poorfag arsenal" is fine, but this was dumb of you. You could have spent just a little bit more and gotten way better guns.

>>32237683
22 is one of the most fun calibers to shoot. it makes sense to start off with one for so many reasons. you will want one at some point. everybody owns a 22

>>32237683
.22 is not a meme, the absence of significant recoil, sound, and overpressure wave make it far and away the most efficient actual firearm caliber to cement your fundamentals before you move up.

I shot bb guns and pellet guns for several years before I shot a .22 and shot a .22 for five years before I really shot centerfire seriously and I attribute that very deliberate growth process and the fundamentals it developed as the primary contributors to why I shoot as well as I do.

>>32237683
When people talk about "starting with a .22," they're talking about youth shooters. My dad started me on .22 rifles, .22 pistols and a 20 gauge shotgun, but I was also like 12 years old. If you're over 18, there's no reason not to go straight to centerfire, especially if you want your gun to double as a self-defense weapon or for hunting. That said, .22's can be fun if you can find ammo for them.

>>32237762
7/10, a centerfire rifle with a scope and semi-auto carbine added to the collection are probably the best next steps

Any plate carrier will hold pouches on just fine. If you know even a tiny bit about sewing and mending you can minimize the defects on even condor carriers and make them do actual work.

What buying expensive carriers gets you is generally higher quality materials and more regular stitching. If you just want to slap pouches on it and leave them there those things don't matter. If you are going to be using your carrier for a great variety of mounting and will be modifying it regularly or are absolutely committed to reducing weight by tenths of an ounce they are more important.

Is steel case .223, specifically Brown Bear 55gr full metal jacket, okay to horde for SHTF? I haven't tried running steel case in my AR yet so that would be the first step to see if it even runs nice, but a guy in my area is selling 500 round cases for $135.

Hey /k/ for once in my life I may make a profit selling used guns and have $700-$800 to spend on a new gun.

I had an interest in a Hi point .45 carbine for $300 but now I might have more money to play with.
I also saw a used Bushmaster AR-15 at the LGS and I thought it might be nice to own an AR since ammo is cheap and there's a ton of options available.

Do the guns I mentioned seem like decent buys or am I ignorant?
Are there any great long guns in my price range out right now?

how much do you disassemble a striker fire handgun for proper cleaning?

i just bought a Canik TP9SF and in my first wipedown i realized i have no idea how much of the slide i should take apart for thorough cleaning. the only other handgun i have is a DA/SA CZ-75 clone where the firing pin assembly is easy to slide out and wipe off, but for this thing i dont know how much further to go beyond the barrel and guide rod.

>>32239002
What exactly do you mean when you say "Build an AR"? Do you mean getting stripped uppers/lowers and assembling everything? Do you mean mixing fully assembled uppers/lowers bought separately? What sort of benefit will I see from building my own AR?
I've never looked into ARs before and I don't want to get into something that won't bring me enjoyment or will waste my money.

>>32239076
chill the fuck out nigga. all you need to do is take the slide off the frame and take the barrel out the slide. wipe everything down with solvent and put it back together

The more you commit to putting in all the small parts yourself, the better AR you can build for your money.

Stripped lower, then play around on
http://www.ar15.com/gunstruction/
until you find a combination of parts you like for ~$800 (all costs on the site are MSRP, so in reality they are lower.) Finally, before you pull the trigger, go to ARG and ask if they have any part substitutions they'd suggest without increasing the cost of the build.

>>32239217

For the price, yes. I mean you get a metal framed handgun that's a loose copy of a famous handgun that functions and shoots common ammo, not a bad deal.

>>32239263

Cool, thank u for ur service /k/ommandos

>>32239622
M9 has a different shaped dustcover and backstrap, and two dot sights instead of three, so slight differences there. Worth it for no lawyer billboard.

On Talon Grip' site they advertise three textures, "Rubber - Black", "Rubber - Moss", and "Granulate - Black".

What's the "Rubber - Moss"? I'm assuming it's some sort of green colour? Does anyone have a picture? I can't find shit

>>32239622
I think that's what I may end up with. As much as I like the non-railed dust cover, I don't like the fixed sights and I like the radiused backstrap on the newer 92s.

I could get a brig slide for the sights, but for the price I could just have some guy lapp the warning off and refinish it.

Fuck man, should just buy a cz.

I keep my M&P shield in my bedroom next to my matress about 5 feet from the window. The windows in my apartment are shit and sometimes moistre gets inside the window sill and it gets cold in my room.

>>32239951
What parts do I oil? Just the parts where the sslide connects the frame and the whole outside of the barrel? I do that every time I clean, should I do it more often even if I haven't shot it since?

>>32240023
Just oil everything metal, then dry it off. This will leave a thin film of oil that protects against rust. Then lube as normal.
Just touch it, you should be able to tell the difference between dry metal and oiled.

>>32239925
Real simple. Take apart, look for rust. if there isn't rust, you're ok. If you coat the gun in a thin coat of oil, that can act as an additional preservative.

Alternately, you can install some insulating material around/over the window to keep the cold out and then complain non stop to the landlord until they fix it. This had the added benefit of keeping you and your boo cozy til spring time.

>>32239951
Yeah, they're good, just not what I first wanted I guess.

How big of a meme are railguns?

>>32240073
>everything metal

Even the slide inside and out? I heard I'm supposed to keep oil out of the striker face/channel where the firing pin comes out

Thanks for the responses btw

>>32240099
Any metal that's exposed that might rust. Skip the striker if it bothers you and just oil the outer parts. The word against oiling that part is because some fools won't wipe the oil away, causing fouling to collect and jam the mechanism.
Honestly, the finish is supposed to protect from rust, but oiling never hurts.

>>32237045
I know what you meant but holy fuck you destroyed that sentence.

>>32240429
Keep your breathing uniform, and when you're preparing to take the shot let all the air out of your lungs. Hold there until you fire, then inhale.

Are there any good /k/ accessories I can put on guns? Ones that look good, stuff besides patches.

>>32240446
I've heard let out half your breath and fire , been doing that for 20 years with success

>>32240651
Depends on what kind of gun

>>32240429
>>32240446
>>32240661
Stop breathing indefinitely

>>32240671
K31

Which, how much of a meme is the K31? Is it as good as people say or is it trash?

>>32240429
For general marksmanship, just keep uniform breathing and break the shot at the bottom of your respiratory trough (when your lungs are comfortably empty after breathing out.) If you have to hold your breath, hold after breathing out until your lungs are comfortably empty instead of taking a big breath in. If you see your sights blurring at all, breathe regularly again for a few seconds and try again. The general rule is: don't hold your breath for more than three seconds. This is because when your body begins to get deprived of oxygen, one of the first things it sacrifices is fine optical clarity, and without maximal optical clarity it's easy not to see *exactly* what your sights are doing and throw your shot off.

For precision marksmanship there are several more advanced techniques, a chapter in John Plaster's excellent "Ultimate Sniper" covers them in great detail, but I assume by the nature of the way you asked your question you are asking for general techniques.

You need enough weight to get black powder to build up enough pressure to actually explode as opposed to burning.

Easier to do that and work with bigger projectiles. Also big heavy projectiles work better for killing since they aren't moving as fast.

Cartridges have nice self contained spaces for powder to more efficiently explode.

>>32246879
I've used them both in my CZ-75 and Glock 43. No problems at all. For what it's worth, I think people put to much thought into defensive ammo. Just get hollow points from a reputable manufacturer (Speer, Hornady, Remington, Winchester, Federal) and shoot enough for you to trust their reliability in your gun.

I do think it makes sense to train with the same bullet weight you keep for defense. 124 gr is widely available in relatively cheap FMJ, so I carry that mostly.

>>32254320
Shotguns are cool.

So /k/ I made a 12ga pipe shotgun with no heat treat, originally it had a 26 3/4 in barrel, but I never fired it with said length. I had a unrelated problem afterwards and needed a 10in section of pipe, and being Jewish I chopped what I needed from the barrel. I did the test fire with the new length, multiple times and nothing went wrong, but now I want to throw a 29 1/2 inch barrel on it, my question is, how will this affect the properties of my shotgun, will it put additional pressure on the receiver? Will it increase/decrease recoil? Will it explode?

Why aren't modern production occlusive optics more popular? Something like the Vietnam era OEGs.

It seems like it'd fill the perfect niche for survivalists or preppers. It's cheap (they could retail for like $50 or even less), durable, and doesn't require batteries which is a huger prepper plus.

They take a bit of getting used to using, but will function just like a red dot once you are acclimated.

I am flying from CA to Texas to visit a friend's ranch, will TSA care if I pack my plate carrier in my checked bag? I am not bringing things like magazines or ammo, just my PC, ear pro, and my baofeng.

So what are my options for purchasing a semi-auto rifle that isn't an AR? The SKS is one option, but what else is there?

>>32258587

M1A/M14.

The springfield Socom 16 cqb thing is tits.

>>32258587

SCAR if you have the $$$$

>>32258587

Galil, AKM, AK74, ruger mini 14, ruger 10/22.

>>32249582
Get the GP100. Its a damn good .357 Magnum revolver that, unlike the Colt Python, was specifically designed to be shot all day, every day with full power Magnum ammo. Swap the grips to the one in your pic, though, the stock full-rubber ones are fucking terrible.

What are some good workouts to do to improve rifle holding strength?

>>32258587

What's your price range?

You could always get a norinco AK or something if you want decent but cheap.

I wouldn't suggest an SKS, they were worth it when you could snag one for $150 but just not any more. Terrible controls, extremely dated design, not too much you can do with it

>>32258587
Too broad. You could purchase anything from Ruger 10/22 to Barrett M82 in .50 .BMG.

What's your price range and intended usage?

>>32259105
Ready-ups. Start with the rifle in the low ready position, then raise it to the high ready position. Repeat this for four hours while operating the safety on and off while some ugly bastard yells shit at you the entire time.

Fuck the Army.

these are the three ARs i'm looking at right now. how do they stack up against each other? i'm looking to buy a high quality prebuilt 16" AR, ideally with a freefloated MLOK handguard. if not one of these, perhaps suggestions?

File: beautiful.jpg (47KB, 564x306px) Image search: [Google]

which style of gas block is more secure without drilling the barrel for taper pins, the set screw style or the clamp on style, Also will the .075"handguard retainer cap mis-aign the gas port and gas block? I feel most low-pro gas blocks are built for free-float handguards

>>32259105
Hold your rifle.

Being real, though, just do that till you feel sore, then work out things that make you feel sore in the same places.

>>32259371
>All 1:7 twist, DI, free floated, MLOK, rifles around the same price range

Anon, whether you know it or not you posted three links to the same gun. Buy whichever one you like.

I picked up a Chiappa Little Badger today. I like everything about it except for the rear sight (it's this shitty plastic M1 style sight).

I wouldn't mind putting a good M1 sights that are actually made out of metal on it but the cheapest one I've seen was still more than what I paid for the rifle.

What rear sight should I put on it?

>>32260329
Use it till it breaks, then replace it desu

>>32260232
what is BC?

>>32260416
1:8 for life, senpai. Unless you *really* only intend to shoot 77 grain or only believe you'll ever shoot within 300 meters or are really pressed for cash you should be careful before you pull the trigger on 1:7

>>32260416
Ballistic Coefficient
Bravo Company
Before Christ

>>32230842
Anything thats in line with the bore needs to be of good quality. So: barrel, bolt & carrier (the 3 most important), recoil spring and buffer.
The last 2 don't need to be anything super special, just don't buy the cheapest shit you can find. Sprinco chrome-silicon buffer spings are excellent. Finally, a good trigger will greatly enhance the shootability of the rifle. Anything from Giessele, Hiperfire, ArGold, Timney, etc are good options.

>>32260454
within 300? i dont think you understand what BC is or what it does

>>32260532
Ballistic coefficient?

Friendo, overstabilization exists and BC is not a magical property imbued by the barrel a round is shot through.

1:7 is optimized for for 77 grain, 1:8 is designed for anything more than 55 but less than 77 (where most .223 and .224 cal rounds fall) so why wouldn't you choose the more efficient option?

>>32260595
1 in 7 is designed for 62gr XM855, and that is what is primaraly shot out of them by our boys overseas with their m4's with 1 in 7 barrels, they shoot more rounds than you would ever even imagine and if its good enough for them its good enough for me

>>32260643

So I want to get a scope mount for my Yugo Mauser, and I just wanted to know if anyone had any recommendations in regards to them. I've seen a bunch of Amazon for all of $12, along with the S&K Insta Mount which is over $70. Is there any disadvantage to the cheap ones from Amazon?

>>32236114
I feel like there is some asshole who works for Ruger for the last 30 years that they're just waiting for him to retire so they can make a good looking handgun.

Would you trade a mossberg 500 tactical and 300 rounds for a nugget 91/30 with 50ish rounds?

>>32260016

Drill the barrel for a pin you lazy poorfag

And do it properly with the right cutting fluid and a cobalt bit on a mill you asshole

>>32262590

Holy fuck no

Im going to get an a2 repro. What carry handle optic would give me the most operator cred? I mean, an aimpoint on a gooseneck is always legit, but i could also go for a chin weld and throw one of those colt scopes or an acog on it.

RELOADING QUESTION

I picked up some 9mm brass at the range yesterday that had fluting on it, firstly I didn't know there were pistols with fluted chambers, but what I wanted to ask is, is it safe to reload and fire again from my own handguns. I've heard fluted brass from some HK rifles can get fucked up by the flutes.

>>32263565
More HK shenanigans. They also fluted MP5 and P7 chambers.

>>32263565
also, it's fine to reload it.

>>32243756
>>32237564
they might do it but it's still illegal, pistol is also about barrel length

>>32263699
>>32263714
Thanks man, HK was the only company I could think of that would do such a thing, I was just a bit carefull, don't want my glock really going glocknade on me.

@ the guy that posted the reloading question then deleted it

That Lee kit is not that good but it will get you started. A better start would be the RCBS Rockchucker Supreme kit.

After you mill out an 80% lower, do you need to coat the bare aluminum inside? Is there enough "room" to coat the inside and have all the fire control parts fit?

>>32264661

Coat with what?

Anodizing is negligibly thin so don't worry about that

But you really don't need to coat it with anything, you never see the inside of the fire control pocket anyway

Why hammer fired mechanism more popular than striker fired ones?

>>32265057
They're not.

>>32265057

They're not.

And people act like striker fire mechanisms are some newfangled hip thing when they're fucking ANCIENT

I want a mid sized handgun capable of both home defense and carry, but i don't want a glock 19. What handgun should I get?

>>32252692
It's a mini-14 you fuckknuckle.

New 2 scopes no bully pls

Are BDC reticles meant for one specific load?

Like if I had a scar 17 with the 3.5 acog, does the bdc only work for 168gr or could it zero and work with 150? or does it not match up

What's a good resource for leaning about proper firearm cleaning, especially rifles? I own a few rifles I inherited and am currently building an AR-15 but my grandfather always cleaned the guns before and he never taught me. Just trying to figure out what all I would even need to buy, too.

Is it possible to take a 10/22 takedown barrel, and put it on a .22 charger takedown? And vice versa?

Anyone with both able to check, I'm just a bit curious on whether or not it's possible.

Does being left-handed change anything when using a gun?
I'm thinking of getting one but I can't take this out of my mind.

>>32267275

Get bore snakes in whatever calibers you have.

So much better than ramming a flimsy metal rod down the barrel.

>>32267468

Assuming you're talking about pistols, there are some guns that allow the controls to be switched from one side of the gun to the other.

The HK USP pistol comes to mind, and I think you can switch the mag release on glocks, but i'm sure there are others.

But even for pistols that do not have this function, you just have to learn to engage the controls with your left hand. Some guns will be easy to master. Others (usually old weapons) will be very difficult.

As for rifles, aside from a few infamous examples, shooting lefty wont be a problem for the vast majority of them.

>>32267557
I was really thinking about rifles, but I always think that I can be hit by a flying super hot piece of metal since guns are made for right-handed, are there guns variants for left-handed?

>>32267588

there are left handed ARs for sure.

however a lefty can shoot and operate a right handed AR just fine. The brass wont hit your face or arm.

some more expensive rifles/submachine guns have bottom ejection, or are capable of ejecting in either direction. the P90, Steyr Aug, KelTec RDB, etc.

>>32267710
Thanks man. You helped me a lot.
I'll need to search a little for a gun that can suit a genetic freak like me

A couple of days ago I remember someone posting about a really nice-looking milsurp pea coat, I think in a winter carry thread. It was a simple black, double-breasted coat; I want to say it was US Navy, M10-something.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

>>32265356
stop being a gear queer and get a glock 19
its not a fashion accessory

I wanna get a decent, cheap pistol. I hate the look of Glocks, so no Glocks. What would /k/ recommend? 9, 45, 44, 10, ect. Caliber doesn't matter, as long as it's not a. 22 I'm open to suggestions. Nothing more than $450, please.

I currently shoot a Glock 19 from my gun club (cant own guns myself yet) around every other week and noticed that I dont hit shit if I aim dead center (25m/30 yard range), but if I aim at the upper right corner I atleast hit somewhere near the center.
Most people in my gun club just say that the Glock is difficult to shoot precise at longer distances and that I still anticipate the recoil, which I strongly agree with. So my question would be if I should continue aiming at the center of the target until I no longer automatically pull the gun down or should I aim to simply hit the target, meaning compensating for my error?

>>32267937

Dry fire practice either at the range or at home is a good way to overcome recoil anticipation/flinching. Focus on keeping your sights on target as you dry fire over and over again. Use snap caps (dummy rounds) if you're worried about hurting the gun.

One exercise which has always worked wonders for me is to have another person load up your magazine, and in that magazine, have them randomly place 2-3 dummy rounds.

Now, you will see exactly how your are flinching, because you will pull the trigger and expect the gun to go off (recoil). However, and of course, the gun will not go off because of the dummy round, and you will be watching your sights dip/heel in anticipation.

You can also do the loading yourself, but I think it's better to have another person do it, just so you have absolutely no idea where the dummy rounds are in the magazine.

So to answer your question: Always aim for the center of the target, find your weakness (we all have one) and minimize it.

One can dislike a Glock for reasons other than being a hipster. I can't speak for them, but I personally really hate how the things handle, plus I like having a manual safety. Not to mention I had a G17 actually glocknade on me once.

Ok, I was wondering more for corrosion resistance. I know aluminum is good at resisting corrosion but it seems like a way a home finished lower could be not as god as an off the shelf lower.

>>32230424
The only problem with your idea is if you cut 3/4 off the >lump
it may not be able to cycle the last round or two because the spring might not be long enough to push the last rounds to the top of the mag.

7075 is pretty resistant to corrosion unless you plan on literally storing your lower in a bucket of salt water.

Alright /k/ I'm interested in getting a C&R license, but it seems too good to be true. $30 fee that I have to renew and that's it? I have no criminal history or anything so I'm not worried about that. Are there any prerequisites or anything I'm looking over or is it really as easy as filling out the paperwork, paying and waiting? I live in New York by the way so I know I still need a permit for any C&R handguns, still working on that process.

Anybody down to mess with somebody?

write "250þ með skotum, óskrað" on a note and take a pic of with it with a gun
preferably a semi auto rifle or a handgun.
