The latch is there to prevent the charging handle from accidentally reciprocating.

>>33979487

>>33979487
Without the latch the charging handle would rattle around when the bolt is locked back.

>>33979693
Almost. Not that I feel bad about asking dumb questions in the dumb question thread.

>>33979691
ARs have non-reciprocating charging handles, which means they are not attached to the bolt carrier. so the latch is just to secure it when the bolt carrier moves. AKs, among most other rifles, have their charging handles fixed to the bolt carrier.

>>33979691
>Then why don't normal charging handles on AKs, etc. have latches?

Non-reciprocating charging handles are affixed to the bolt carrier and move back and forth with it as the gun fires. Standard AR charging handles would hit you in the face if they reciprocated, so they don't. It is possible however, for enough friction to occur between the bolt carrier and charging handle that the handle would be pushed back into the users face during recoil. To prevent this, the charging handle latches to the upper receiver and remains in place while firing.

I just think they are cool and the reach should give me an advantage over knives.

AR's charging handles are designed to be pulled with a finger on either side, and you usually have to tilt the gun towards the hand you would charge with. Extended latches let you pull from one side comfortably.

Okay, I can't seem to find a good answer anywhere, so I'll ask here.

Ignore all differences in AR buffer weight and buffer spring tension/length. I just want to know what is the reason for using a rifle length buffer tube and buffer instead of a carbine length tube/buffer.

I get that carbine length is more compact. I get that buffer weight and spring length are tailored to your gas port position and your ammo of choice's pressure curve. But, what is the benefit of using a rifle length buffer system over carbine length system, especially on a >20" barrel?

The NPAP is a good gun, the only downside is that it doesn't take standard furniture. Other than that they're solid, you'll have no problems. I generally recommend people avoid underfolders in favor of sidefolders though.

>century

So, there's two different types of guns from century:

>guns imported by century, and sold with little to no modification

and

>guns MADE by century


Guns that are imported are generally great (for example, wasr, NPAP), but guns that are made are absolute dogshit (c39v2, ras47)

>>33980438
I'd recommend you go fixed stock, or get a side folder from arsenal.

There is no real reason that they would do that. In a total nuclear WWIII, there would be no real fear of the ground invasion that Japan would act as a staging ground for.

you fucked up the trigger pin or hammer hole locations. close enough that its functional but not enough for reliable disconnector engagement.

I'm the CA guy from the last thread who was looking for my first handgun. Got a couple of questions:

First of all, I checked out the CZ-75B and liked it a lot. The store I like has the normal and SAO versions, which would /k/ get? I'm thinking of doing IDPA with it, and will also keep it around as a nightstand gun.

Second, I happened to check out the used rack at another LGS and they had a '44 Winchester M1 in decent shape, but it had an Inland barrel on it. Any idea what that's worth? I see all-original Winchesters in similar condition for $1500+ on GunBroker, but I'm not sure how big of a dent the mismatched barrel makes in the price. They wanted $800 for it, is that worth buying?

>>33979487
Do you mean the extended latch shown in the pic or just the latch itself?

The latch keeps the T handle secured to the upper, since its basically free floating. That way you wont have the handle just swinging around like grandpas sack when the bolt locks open. In order to open it, you have to actually pull on the handle as intended.

The extended handles are nice because it requires less strength to pull back, can be done easier when wearing gloves, when trying to clear a scope mount, and when pulling it back from only one side.

Its a solution to the fact that the T handle is in a fairly weird location that isnt really ergonomic, but mainly excels in keeping it a closed, clean system. For example, an AK style charging handle would be good, but it reciprocates and would make disassembly a bitch. a FAL style handle would be nice, but it could present another ingress point for dirt, and is more mechanically complicated.

Luckily, you shouldnt need to even use the charging handle all that often with an AR since the bolt release/hold open is pretty foolproof most of the time.

>>33981549
By normal I'm assuming DA/SA with decocker? It's a subjective thing, really. Some people like the lack of a manual safety to cut out a step in a defensive scenario, some people prefer the increase in trigger quality and consistent trigger in general that comes with SAO/manual safety. I used to be all for DA/SA w/ decocker but I've come around to the mentality that if you drill it in to your muscle memory through training, disengaging a manual safety will not add enough time to your draw to make a difference in any normal situation.

For strictly competition and HD, I'd think SAO would be better, but that's purely assumption.

>>33980800

looks like a bulgarian sneak

>>33981611
The "normal" one was the DA/SA non-decocker model.

The upside for competition with the normal version is that it's allowed in multiple IDPA classes. (SSP or ESP, I believe.)

On the other hand, the SA trigger is really nice, but I think I'm probably better off having two classes as options, especially since the SA's class seems to be the more "advanced" of the two and will put me up against guys with fancy 1911s and stuff.

>>33979633

The charging handle won't reciprocate anyway since it's a separate entity to the bcg.

>>33980082

>>33981745
Ah yeah see I know next to nothing about IDPA, as much as I'd love to get into it someday. Didn't realize they made a DA/SA without a decocker now; does it have a safety of any sort at all?

>>33981925
>doesn't know what 'or' means

You forgot the OR operand there buddy.

Anything that has a barrel of less than 16 inches is an SBR, even if the whole thing is longer than 26 inches, and ALL weapons with a formalized stock that are less than 26 inches in length are SBRs.

>>33981955
>weapons
You mean rifles.

>>33981966
Right, rifles, but it applies to pistols too, but only if you put a real stock on the pistol. I don't know the rules for SBS.

>>33981839
I think the non-decocker is actually the original version of the 75B, at least it's the one that CZ just calls the "75B" instead of "75B SA" or "75B Decocker." It has a manual thumb safety, so it can be carried cocked and locked, or you can manually let the hammer down and carry it in a sort of 1/4 cock position.

>>33981978
Yeah, my bad. You're right. Shotguns are 18" min length barrel.

Recommendations on a decent "battle rifle"? I mainly want something like a .308 to target shoot longer distances. I've got an AR15 and an AKM, I know AR10 is not considered battle rifle, but was looking into that due to price. Any suggestions?

>>33981955

I'm not understanding

For a rifle to be a short barreled rifle;

It has to meet both those criteria (26 or less oal and less than 16 inch barrel) instead of just one criterion? I was under the impression if it had a less than 16 i ch barrel OR a less than 26 oal it was an sbr

Like an AR with a fixed stock but a 10 inch barrel has an oal of 28 inches (I measured myself) is as much an sbr as like a stocked hipower?

>>33982088
God you're stupid.
>has under 16 inch barrel = SBR

>>33982088
>Like an AR with a fixed stock but a 10 inch barrel has an oal of 28 inches (I measured myself) is as much an sbr as like a stocked hipower?
Yes, it is.

Think of it like this (this example does not include shotguns because they are classified differently):
The first requirement is that the weapon has a formally recognized (not a Sig Brace) stock. It doesn't have to be fixed stock, it just has to be attached to the weapon. So you can have as short of an AK as you want, as long as it doesn't have a stock. Hell, they sell that, it's called a Draco pistol with like a 4-inch barrel. After this requirement, the weapon must not be less than 26 inches in overall length. Barrel length is always counted as part of overall-length so pretty much the only weapons this requirement applies to are bullpups and pistols with a stock. After this requirement, any weapon with a barrel of less than 16 inches is an SBR.

So yes, you have an SBR. You can keep it legally but only if you take the stock off of it, or get applied for a tax stamp.

Is there any system out there for mounting gear to your wrists and arms?

I'm looking for non jury-rigged ways to mount geiger counters to my Suit.

Not that anyone's an expert on terminal ballistics but how much does muzzle energy matter to the damage done to a wound. I know shot placement is king but let's just assume perfect shot placement. Looking up some stuff I compared shit like .50 AE to normal pistol cartridges and .308 vs .223 in ballistic gel.

What I found may just be me misinterpreting the results, but despite large differences statistically in muzzle energy, more powerful rounds like .308 don't seem to make significantly bigger holes upon entry than .223, however they DO penetrate the gel a lot further. So is this really the only significant different between bigger rounds and smaller ones, is how fast they fly out lending to greater penetrative power or am I missing something? I understand that for slower rounds you want to make them fatter to try and get comparable muzzle energy but I'm just trying to figure this whole thing out.

>>33982422

Penetrative power and how much hydrostatic shock a given round imparts on a target is more important than muzzle/Kinectic energy. Generally speaking, faster rounds will penetrate more. Lighter rounds compared to heavier rounds will penetrate but are more likely to stop penetrating because They are a lighter...i think

I'm trying to paint my FAL, is there anything I should know beforehand? I'm going to use flat OD and brown paint. I heard you need to wipe down any weapons you're going to paint with brake cleaner. Is this true?

>>33982572
Yes, for as clean a paint job as possible you need to get all the oils from your skin as well as any other random dirt and dust off for it to bond well and not look like ass. Make sure to use lint-free cloth as well, if you can, as basic paper towels and whatnot will probably leave fibers behind that will fuck with your finish.

I've got some money to spend and looking to buy a handgun for accuracy and potentially competitions. Should I buy a pistol that has a pre-slide cut for an RMR or should I get something that has a frame-mounted optic mount, or even something like this: https://www.amazon.com/UM-Tactical-Sight-Mount-Universal/dp/B00L5QZ4YU

I wouldn't use brake cleaner. I'd recommend either industrial strength alcohol (90%+) or that specific oil and grease remover stuff that's a prelude to painting. You also might want to scuff up the surface a little depending to promote adhesion, may influence surface finish after painting though.

Lint free cloth is also a good recommendation.

Whatever works, man. Either way if any shotgun can shoot a lead slug, I'm sure no matter what you'll be fine with the wax.

Hydrostatic shock producing a large temporary cavity is what destroys the tissue around the wound channel. You wont see this as much in ballistics gel as you would in a slow motion video of the gel getting struck. Generally speaking, the faster the bullet the better. Speed kills.

>An 8-month study in Iraq performed in 2010 and published in 2011 reports on autopsies of 30 gunshot victims struck with high-velocity (greater than 2500 fps) rifle bullets.[25] In all 30 cases, autopsies revealed injuries distant from the main wound channel due to hydrostatic shock

Why does my charging handle feel gritty and pig disgusting to use even when the rifle is totally clean and lubed? Is this a limitation of the aluminum on aluminum interface?

If you plan on mounting optics or want a more precise rifle, your best bet is an AR-10.
>>33983620
AR-10s do have a lack of standardization, but most are patterned after either the Armalite AR-10B or the DPMS. There are essentially 2 "standards", but there are still proprietary parts from other manufacturers. If you plan on swapping out parts, plan on doing some research to figure out if part X will work with gun Y. Otherwise, just buy a complete AR10 and be done with it.

>>33984038

The big thing is to not point it at an unsafe direction and safety check it as soon as the guy hands it to you. Also you should ask to dry fire.

If you need to look down the barrel it's generally understood that you're doing it to inspect it and people won't think you're dumb. You could ask the salesman to disassemble it to look down the barrel.

>>33981978
you are forgetting "Firearms" in which only the OAL matters. I have two guns that are "Firearms". A shotgun sold with only a pistol grip. Its 26 inches long with a 14 inch barrel. It was never a rifle/shotgun, it never had a stock, it was never a pistol. I have another one that is a pistol grip shotgun that I made. 28in OAL and 18in barrel. Technically its still considered just a shotgun like how I bought it, but really it should be just a "Firearms" because the ATF specifices shoulder fired. Keeping it over 26OAL keeps it from being an AOW, since it doesn't have a stock, especially if sold without one, its not a rifle. Its not a pistol because its not.

Aimpoint LEDs are subject to so little current and heat buildup that under normal use they'll last indefinitely.
Your math basically only applies if you run it at the highest brightness setting 100% of the time, in which case you'd be spending so much on batteries that even if Aimpoint wouldn't replace the LED for free under warranty (they will), the cost of a new optic would be a drop in the bucket.

I just fixed the bolt on my M1 carbine. Damn thing was having trouble extracting and ejecting spent casings and I had to cut a range trip short last week when 1 casing got stuck in the chamber. Pretty embarrassing TBQH. I almost ruined the blade on my Kershaw Blur trying to get the damn thing out.

A new extractor, plunger, ejector, recoil spring, and extractor plunger and ejector spring fixed it up and now it's ejecting the snap caps I feed through it. I hope it works just as well with live ammo.

How long will the new parts last if I shoot steel case ammo? Also what's a good .30 carbine ammo brand? Tulammo gave me the aforementioned extraction issues and PPU soft point gives my gun feeding problems. And what's the best aftermarket M1 magazine brand? I'd buy USGI if I wasn't stuck in Kommiefornia.

ya exactly, that idiot has an illegal sbr, i was just throwing ambiguous firearms into the debate. mine is legal in the way his isn't, still has the two measurments that matter. my other one is legal in the same way his isn't, it wasn't born as a rifle.

when it comes to modifying anything under BOTH of the holy measurements, all that matters is either the length or the paperwork.

when it comes down to modifying stock/barrel but maintaining above 26 OAL, it comes down to what the serial numbers sexual identity at birth that was assigned by the manufacturer. In that case it could be a firearm, rifle, sbr, or aow, depending on what it was and what you do.

>>33986705
Well, with the Hearing Protection Act you won't get a refund if it does pass because the date for refunds was before a year ago. But if it does pass and it makes suppressors easier to get, the supply will go away quickly and the prices will rise, so buying a $1k suppressor now might be a good idea. Your call, we can't predict the future.
.45 is typically subsonic, but yes, +P can make it supersonic. Just don't use those rounds. I believe .45 has more options for subsonic rounds than most calibers because standard ball rounds run sub. 9mm is a good option, you just have to be careful because not all ball rounds are sub.

>>33986458
.380 isn't bad nowadays. Great for pocket guns or other small form factor CCs.
Fair warning, the PPK has a lot more recoil than you would think. It kicks like a weakish .44 mag with none of the fun of it. The controls are rather dumb, the mag release is too far, and there is no slide release. The takedown method is also difficult.
In my opinion, if you want a pocket-carry .380, get a Glock 42 Gen 4. Dual-captured recoil springs equal recoil of a 9mm with the size of a .380 pocket gun. There's also the 43 in 9mm but it's slightly longer, wider, and the recoil on it is much like the PPKs, way more than it should be.

>>33987843
>why do modern soldiers prefer short length of pull

Body armor is thicc. Despite the over representation of plate carriers, most troops wear full armor, which reduces your effective LOP by about an inch. Add that for the majority of troops even without body armor, the A2 length stock is unwieldy. Add modern squared stances compared to old time marksmen stances, and you get a preference for mid-length LOP.

>prefer short barreled rifles

Going to hold you up there for a second. For 99% of soldiers, their "preference" carries exactly zero weight. A soldier uses the weapon they are given. If they want a different barrel length or optic, it's tough tits, they use what's given to them.

Do you think a supressed .45 would make a good assassin's gun? I've also been playing around with a Ruger Mark or a Five-Seven suppressed as options.

Out of habit and safety (I'm not the only one with access to my gun safe) I eject the chambered round out of my EDC when storing it for the day. I usually just pop the ejected round back in the top of the mag. I realized I'm effectively rechambering the same round every day and likely shortening my COAL every time.

What is the number or rechamberings a modern self defense round can go before I should just burn through the magazine at a range trip?

>>33988661
Your price modeling for suppressors is bullshit. If HPA passes, suppressor prices will sink. It's extremely easy to see when you look at Solvent Traps. Plain 6065 aluminum "solvent traps" for $100. You can buy perfectly machined stainless steel "solvent cups" (baffles) online for 100-150 a set. Titanium tubes for $100. You could put together a titanium and stainless suppressor for less than 300.

Suppressor prices are fucking ridiculous because they are such a niche item. It's basic machined metal, there is no reason other than profit margin to pay $800-1200 for a suppressor.

>people who frankly look like they may be finicky and neurotic by nature.
that's .22 fags for ya. it's cheap and plentiful so it attracts the worst. for a takedown rifle I think it's best to just stick with irons. the point of a takedown is for a lightweight backup to make an emergency squirrel BBQ.

>>33991905
>appreciable POI shift
It'd have to be pretty fucking severe to be noticeable within .22LR's effective range.

>>33992416
TY. Will probably end up doing that.

>>33992518
Kind of what I was thinking. Which is why I thought they seemed neurotic to be complaining about it and then willing spending like 400+ dollars on special cantilever mount and a scope with parallax adjustment for a bloody .22 to fix the issue. Reminded me of audiophiles complaining they can hear the distortion in 10 feet of cable. Like, what the fuck.

>>33990235
Do you want a plate carrier or a full armor carrier? 6094 is just for plates, CIRAS is for plates AND a full cut of soft armor.

>>33979693
Figure that one out all on your own? You sound like a /v/ poster and you should neck yourself.

Anyone ever get tempted to just say fuck it and just buy guns to resell without an FFL? Just looking at this stuff is tempting, for $900 all said and done I could get an AK and an AR I could probably unload for at least $650 each, I could get a return of $400 for next to no work.

>>33993140
fuck off ATF shill

>>33992571
poi shift on the takedown is there but its very minimal. you really only notice it at high magnifcation like 9x. with irons its unnoticeable. ruger did a great job at mitigating poi shift.

Does anyone know the dimensions on the Ruger M77's rear sight mounting screw? Came loose after <100 rounds and REALLY don't want to file the head down.

>>33993140
>easily unload
>for 650 each
Lol, no. I'll enjoy seeing your related shit listed over and over again

>>33993426
just slather it with vibratite and stick it back in

>>33993468
>decent AK NIB
>same price as shit tier RAS47 which still sells

>decent AR
>for the same price as an overpriced M&P sport which still sell

If you think $300 to $400 is cheap then check armslist and LGS'. You might even be able to buy one online and have it shipped. If I were you I would get a cheap Spanish Mauser

>>33993487
Will that work? I mean, I can barely express how slim the margin is between tight and over-tightened-and-now-it's-loose-again.

>>33988283
I think that it maybe how the device attaches to the end of the barrel via thread

Are any subsonic rounds able to pierce body armor?

>>33993500
>Used AK
>from a company not used to making AKs
>used AR
>from a company known for bargin bin parts kits
Do it, I'm sure you'll make a ton of money and there's no way to actually prove you bought to resell as long as the amount of money is below the IRS warning signs which is like 10,000 a year.

Make sure you have

I KNOW WHAT I HAVE NO LOWBALLS

Anyone know of any cheap M16a1 clones on the market?
I love the aesthetics but everything I see online is in the thousands of dollars
If not, how hard would be to assemble one myself with an AR15?

>>33993140
Just buy the set, sell one of them and keep the other

>>33993545
Blue loctite

>>33993746
Buy a1 style stripped lower, buy a1 style stripped upper, buy 20" pencil barrel with a full length gas system with a1 gas block, buy furniture and other small stuff then drop in normal ar bolt and parts

>>33993545
Vibratite is what S&W uses on all their threaded components, and when was the last time you heard anyone complain about any of their shit backing out?

ID on this gun?
Some Argentinian kid shot another on facebook live, but this thing looks more like a BB gun than a shotgun.

What is a good price for a used 8 shot Mossberg 500 in good condition?

I found a local one for $250, but haven't been able to compare to street prices anywhere, as no one has them in stock.

other than being kind of dumb, is there anything really wrong with a sleeved barrel for 22LR

>>33988698

Thanks for sharing your experience with the PPK. Other than it has the same feel and manual of arms with the CZ75 I shoot a lot, the only reasons for my wanting it don't make sense (muh steel, muh aesthetics, muh James Bond, etc.). I'm just enamored with it.

Sometimes I think about just letting those things go and just getting a Glock 43. Also I've got tingles for other metal guns like the Sig 938 (dunno about having to disengage the safety under pressure tho, I'm a DA/SA man) and the Kahr MK9 (I don't think I want a DAO tho).

Use brass shells and seal an over shot card on the slug with super glue.

>>33990235
What price??

>>33991954
Nope, you've cut your volume in the case so you have increased the pressure. Double feeds are a mother fucker.

>>33990025
The headstamp is LC54. manufactured at the Lake City ammo plant in 1954. That's after the Korean War ended, but still pretty cool.

>>33995014
Thanks, I still think it's neat

I accidentally tried to sell a gun to a guy from another state without knowing any better, is the atf gonna kill my dog?

I live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I also have partial residence and driver's license from Connecticut. PA isn't friendly to switch blades ("automatic knives"). CT is surprisingly liberal with them, as long as they're at or under 1.5".

>I'm looking to buy a larger switch blade that I can carry for personal defense, ideally 3.5-4.5". Where can I acquire one legally, considering I'm in a city and transportation is logistically difficult?

I know New York has extremely strict regulations on switch blades, but those are dropped almost entirely for hunters. Do I need to rent a car and take a day trip to the Adirondacks just to get a knife?

>Ideally something practical like pic related, but less edgy.

If I have a DD lite rail that uses the bolt up attachment nut, can I swap the rail out for a DD MFR rail without having to replace the barrel nut?

>>33997594
>I live in Philadelphia

Has anyone ever made a "Russian 300 blackout"? What I mean by this is necking up a 5.45 case to take a .30 caliber bullet. Has it ever been done?

>>33997929
9x39mm is Russian "Blackout".

>>33997929
Seems like that would be pretty much just be reinventing 7.62x39, wouldn't it?

I know they did something that's sort of the next step up when they made the 9x39 cartridge for the VAL/VSS/etc.

Whats some good public land where I can go shooting? I'm from Oregon visiting my brother in Commiefornia and I may have brought my uncucked AR and mags, did I dun goofed?

will this http://s.aliexpress.com/3MVVBnQj fit inside a 5.5mm air gun barrel and does anyone know if it woukd be stopped by Brazilian customs ?

forget my question , just found a bore snake the right size

will (((they))) take it away and destroy it tho

when cheaper than dirt sends you an email asking for driver's license do you just send them a picture of it or something?

>>33998490
you have to mail them your license so they can scan the magnetic strip. then they mail it back after you pay for shipping.

>>33998265
Are pieces of rope with an iron bit on the end illegal in Brazil? Are they a prime target for corrupt post officials?

Could you put a memeout bullet in a 7.62 Slav case to achieve the same ballistics except now it's actually a well-established cartridge that you can shoot out of any old ak/sks?

>>33999180
Not if you want it to feed out of the magazine. a memeout bullet in an x39 case would be much longer than its typical 124g bullet.

I have been thinking about a keltec pmr-30 for a innawoods varmint carry for long distance hiking. I know all the memes about lelkek and using rimfire ror self defense, but I would really only be using it as a sort of hunting pistol. That and the 30 round mags, cheap price and light weight appeal to me. What are your thoughts /k/?

>>33999180
7.62 AK barrels are .311, 300 BLK bullets are .308
You'd be better off rebarreling a 5.56 AK.

>>34000371
A real Five-seveN would be lighter and, if only by dint of using centerfire ammo, more reliable.

>>33993857
Considering Mossberg's bargain gun is 50 less new and you're getting their standard gun at like half of MSRP
, I'd say yeah.

>>33997594
Try an assisted open knife. You flick and it opens from the side, assisted by a spring, but since you provide the motion it's not technically a switch.
