Was grapeshot lightly welded together, and broke apart on firing, or am I missing something?
From all the images I can find of grapeshot it looks to be the case, but I can't imagine them being able to do so without weldrod.

Help me understand please.

I just need to order some parts for it. Almost all the parts, including the grip panels are in a ziplock bag.

To my knowledge, grapeshot is just shot packed in to a canister, and it disperses after being fired, like a fuck-off-big shotgun shell.
Of course, I can be mistaken, but this is based on what I've seen personally.
>>34254693
As a big reloader, I need to advise you that you're asking a pretty broad question.
>for the money
How much do you want to spend? For my rifles, I use Redding dies, but I'm a sucker for precision. You pay out the ass, but they will be passed down to your great-grandkids.

Lee is okay for the price, but you get what you pay for. RCBS and Lyman are middle of the road. Forster and Wilson if you want to cream yourself when you shoot groups, but don't mind spending a lot.

>>34254945
it seems like someone grinded away the cylinder rod stop, right below the barrel
I don't know if the S&W even works without that small peice of metal there

Is a mid length gas system really that big a deal on a basic AR?
I understand they make for softer shooting, easier cleaning, and less wear over time, but is it so noticable that I should go out of my way to look for one as my first AR?

I know people have asked how many magazines are enough, and the answer is always 'all of them', but seriously, i have like 40 mags loaded to go, when do I stop /k/?

>>34254971
Looking at the barrel, the caliber stamp is half-gone.

To me it looks like someone cut down the barrel then fitted a new sight to it. The crane and cylinder assembly still has the ejector rod, and it locks in to place just fine dry-fitting it.

>>34254978
Not that big of a deal, its only really when you get down to pistol length tubes that stuff sucks.

Same anon that already replied, I've been using the same pair of JT paintball gloves for almost 12 years now target shooting. obviously washing them and repairing them, eventually i just let them get fingerless as the years wore them down. People think they're custom but they're just old as fuck.

Pants related, a lot of people underestimate airsoft gear but honestly paintball shit is meant to just be fucked up and take it. Jt pants along with a lot of other paintball brand kneepads/elbowpads are the difference between jumping into cover and returning fire
or jumping into fire and worrying about how you just fucked your load bearing arm up.

http://www.luckygunner.com/lounge/guide-sw-38-357-revolvers/

Judging by the completely round front sight and the serial, a really old model 37. It's probably a M&P and the half-moon front sights were phased out by 1957. The 36 was steel framed and the 37 was aluminum. They were the "Chief's Special" police revolvers and entered production in 1950, so it's a really narrow time frame. There are SW revolver experts that can probably tell you exactly what it is on a appraisal or Smith forum.

I just bought pic related for $300. Remshit 7400 in .30-06. Nice scope came with it, Weaver V9-II W.

I'm a poorfag so this is my only precision type rifle and It'll be my only one for a while. I want it for hunting, and to practice for designated-marksman type usage while plinking (I'll get 10 round mags).

I still can't decide if it was an amazing purchase or a colossal fuckup.

Model 700 bolt keeps sticking. Neither my handloads or factory ammo will extract once fired. The rifle has seen at least 500 rounds before but I haven't fired it in over a year. Why would it start doing this now /k/? The bolt lifts normally but needs significant assistance (a brutal beating) to pull back.

>>34256000
I did get some rust due to stupidity of storing it in a foam case, but it happened when I was a kid, so I can't speak for anything recent.
That was like 15 years ago or more.

>>34254979
You could have one mag and be fine, I can promise you will be shot and die long before you get a chance to use 40 fucking mags unless you just really hate loading mags at the range it really is just a waste of money at that point

>>34255678
Your bigest issue is going to come from the action cycling. As long as it feeds and ejects reliably it wasn't a fuck up. you might have to try a few kinds of ammo to find what works well

Is there a word, or some kind of terminology for bolt carriers that are exposed, like the SKS's?

My temptation is to call it an "open-bolt" but I know what an open-bolt actually is.

And stupid side question: would you say that the SKS has an internal magazine?

>>34257327
I would just call it an exposed carrier or guns with an exposed carrier.
I'm not aware of any gun with an exposed bolt.

>would you say that the SKS has an internal magazine?
I would say it had an 'integral magazine', the same way I would describe an smle. Close enough to be true.

>>34256058
Literally google: public ranges. If it's public land, then there's a decent chance that there's a place designated for shooting. But know this: they don't like it when you go shooting outside of that area.

If you don't have public ranges near you, or you're not wanting to go to a range, you can call whatever department of the state/county that manages the land, probably the BLM, and ask "what are your rules surrounding sport shooting and firearm usage on [land you are interested in]? Are there areas where shooting is allowed or prohibited?" No one's gonna give a shit that you ask.

I've been to public land with a range and marshals and constant supervision, and also to places where you once you reach a dead end in the road, you can start shooting whatever direction you damn well please. It just depends on the land

How do I tell the different variants of HK P30s apart?

Can I pull the hammer back on a revolver far enough to not cock it, but to fire a round when released? It feels like a fudd question, but I don't own a revolver.

Super Vepr or regular Vepr with SVD furniture?

>>34257985
on an accurate colt SAA replica without a modern transfer bar safety it's possible since the firing pin is literally on the hammer.

>>34257985
For most revolvers, that would not be the case, especially modern revolvers. Mainly because of what >>34258014 said

Possibly because the letter k looks like a gun? I'm not exactly sure but that seems like the most likely.

>>34256112
Both are good and will perform well.

Personally I'd recommend the 147gr as it expands a little more, is subsonic, and my own personal preference is to use heavy for caliber rounds. According to those in the know they tend to perform a little better on the average.

4chan history. /k/ started when all the boards were called by a single letter, and /w/ was already taken by anime wallpapers. It wasn't a big deal if a board didn't have a letter that logically corresponded with it. The reason so many boards have 2-3 letters that make sense to the board was done out of necessity more than anything, because of how many topics there are. The entire alphabet is used, with the exception of /j/, /l/, /q/, and /z/, which all have a history.

>more damage
00 buck between those two. #1 or #4 buck would probably do more damage than that thought. Personally id go with #1 because skulls are full of bones and it'll be less likely to deflect.

>same question but DOUBLES
Two barrels of buck.

> what happens

Judging by pictures of shotgun suicides theyd kinda still have the area of face away from the impact but the immediate impact area would be blown open/apart, the skull would pop open due to the shots passage and the exit wound wound pretty much be the entirety of the back of the skull in line with the entry wound. They'd pretty much look like their head got exploded by a little shaped charge.

Weight of the bullet for one. Why take the extra time to train people to be proficient with a more powerful round, and then have them carry less ammo? Unless your targets can only be taken down by such a large round, why use a heavier bullet than you have to?

>belt fed
Heavier when in your hands. Negligible when carrying them around in a pack. Slightly longer to reload. You don't need a belt fed gun unless you're wanting to put a lot of rounds down range to suppress, and if that's the role you want, then you might as well just get an open bolt LMG instead of an AR.

I'm not saying that the AR in 5.56 is the best decision, and you can't think of any better loadout for a soldier, because I'm sure you can, but there are reasons for why a soldier's loadout is what it is.

>>34258837
You're not considering that it's 3am and you've just woken up from a warm dream to a broken window and you forgot you had the safety on and you forgot you didn't have a round in the chamber and you can't see anything and the other guy also has a gun and is firing back at you and you've never even reloaded under optimal conditions before but now you're forced to in the most stressful situation imaginable

>>34258931
>Unless your targets can only be taken down by such a large round
Yes, the type of enemies they face aren't human and take a lot more to go down. Some of them also have armor. Normal 5.56 AP rounds aren't cutting it even when they do penetrate so stopping power is needed.

So my idea is "maybe get them a bigger bullet" but if there are better ways to approach this then by all means I'd like to know.

>and if that's the role you want, then you might as well just get an open bolt LMG instead of an AR
Can I get some examples?

Yes, what's also needed is more bullets down range by the average soldier. Preferably an LMG that isn't too cumbersome to also be used indoors and trenches (that was why I wanted to go with the belt fed AR because of the shorter barrel length)

Thanks anon!

Unless you want to incorporate power armor, mechanical or electrical recoil dampening tech, or other wizardry, your volume and intensity of fire will be limited by physics. More oomph=more weight or complexity to country it.

Now, if you're in a postapocalyptic setting I'd recommend giving your characters steroids or some other means towards increased muscle mass. That way they could shoulder a GPMG or something like it and handle the recoil of putting large rounds down-range fast.

I'm looking into getting a gas mask, particularly a GP-7V. I'm concerned about comfortably wearing it since I have fairly long and thick hair, and the harness is rubber. Is there some sort of way (besides shaving my head) to comfortably wear it, or should I go for a different mask?

Guy at the local store recommended a Springfield XD or a CZ when I said it was my first pistol, then laughed when I said I had my eyes on a P30. I really liked the swappable grip and the ambidextrous features.

>>34260486
Actually, tungsten is a preferred lead alternative, its only prohibitive factor is the cost cause china has all that shit

>>34260546
I was just up in the thread asking about the price point of various P30 models, but if the money isn't going to be an issue then I definitely recommend getting one.

You've held it right? If it feels good in your hands and the sticker doesn't scare you then by all means go for it and you'll never "need" another 9mm. The way I see a HK P30 is pretty much the Mercedes Benz to a Glock 19's Audi, if you have the money and want the luxury then spring for the nicer gun.

I don't like striker fired pistols, so I was specifically looking for something in 9mm with a hammer and the P30 is a damn nice gun, the V3 is a solid model and it doesn't have the "law enforcement" trigger that I despise about glocks where each trigger pull will be the same weight every time, I much prefer a double/single action

>>34259381
How do you like your Z5RS? I've been looking for an MP5 clone, and I've been hearing mixed things.
Politics aside, I've heard some people say that Zenith/MKE's are just alright, but the only other clones I see in that price range are Omega and maybe Brethren.

I recently got a new PTR. The first trip to the range I fired a few boxes of Hirtenberger and had no problems, went back home and cleaned/lubed the gun, broke down the bolt and lubed it too.

I went out today and ran a couple hundred rounds of Tula through it, but the first ~6 rounds had FTE. After those I had no FTE issues for the rest of the day.

So was the FTE caused by initial break-in? Excess lubricant in the chamber/bolt? Chamber too sticky and flutes not blowing out cases properly? Or just the gun getting used to blowing out steel cases?

Gold is actually fairly good as a lead replacement. Probably better than tungsten, since tungsten is way too hard. Gold has a nice blend of density and softness like lead does. Tungsten won't deform as much on impact, a tungsten projectile will generally keep its shape.

>>34254505
Mayne because it's lead? Lead has varying degrees of softness maybe they did kinda weld themselves together (like white lead would do) after the shot has been crammed together

correct, HMMVWs were still canvas through the first phases of the invasion. The ubiquitous uparmored we're used to seeing was only produced after multiple improvised iterations, each providing a greater level of armor than the last.

The softskin doors break easily, especially the shitty plastic latches. Since they offer essentially no protection, and are prone to being a pain to open some people ditched them. No point in a door that offers no protection and is a pain to open when under fire.

The hard, non-armored doors worked a bit better, but still offered no combat protection.

It takes almost no effort to remove the doors, they just slide right out of the hinges if you pull up on them.

>>34258305
They totally were a thing. Back before we had any kind of armor on Humvees, there wasn't much of a point to the doors.


When armored Humvees came around people stopped rolling doorless because:
A) The doors did offer some measure of protection even if it was kinda shitty
B) The armored doors were fucked bolted to the Humvee, so you couldn't just toss them off on the fly like the softskins.

>>34264167
Sheer volume, and economies of scale. The VAST majority of shotgun rounds fired are 12 gauge. They make so many at a time that they're able to optimize their processes at all levels to minimize waste and reduce costs. Buying in bulk is cheaper at all levels; if they're buying 20 million 12 ga shot cups, they'll get them cheaper per component than 500k .410 cups.

*Forgot to mention one more reason a doorless humvee might be used- not having a door frees you up to bolt on an extra pintle mount for the TC to have a machinegun.

If you can't have armor, you can at least have extra firepower.

>>34263770
I'm partial to GDHPs. Should be perfectly safe cocked and locked, as any 1911, but they did have a recall, so verify the s/n against Sig's website (just in case it sat in back stock for 3 years). Also, they do have a half cock position if you want to go old school and lower the hammer to half cock with a round chambered, but bear in mind you're one inopportunely timed cough away from an ND. It's a bad idea, really; kinda makes me wonder why they even gave it a half cock.

No, and in doubt, just shoot some high velocity quality, clean burning ammo after that, always LRN. Like some CCI Blazers.

Just stay away from Remington ammo.

It is an excellent pistol and very user friendly. Somewhat overlooked by modern polymer lovers, but absolutely a staple of all metal nines.

at that range an ounce of lead is an ounce of lead. Literally no room for it to spread out before it hits. Buck might spread out a bit inside the medium but I doubt it would be appreciably different. Even a light load of Birdshot would be deadly at that range.

Grapeshot (from my knowledge of the RN in the age of sail) consists of smallish round balls arranged in a tightly tied bag, around a wooden or metal central spindle and ring dividers. This produced a tight roughly cylindrical shape which could be loaded easily, and I don't believe they were welded.

Canister shot though was basically a tin or lead can filled with musket balls and other shite, and sealed shut with solder. Both have roughly the same effect over different ranges. Canister was short ranged but absolutely devastating: I believe HMS Victory raked the Bucentaure through her stern with double shot and canister at Trafalgar, using up pretty much an entire barrel of musket balls and killing nearly 200 people.

Stupid question: I've seen several striker fired handguns use an identical, or very similar firing mechanisms as the Glock. Did Glock grant the rights to that patent to other manufacturers?

>>34266578
Striker fired firearms have been around for hundreds of years in rifle, i'm not sure if the concept can even be patented anymore without novel changes.

Does anyone make an AR handguard that doesn't have a top rail, has M-LOK slots on 3, 6, and 9 (or similar) positions, is free floating, and lightweight? I'm aware of the Midwest Industries one with the limited top rail, which might work for me, but would like to see other options first.

Basically I'm looking to emulate the PSA 5.56 Marauder pistol, but in a side charging .300memeout configuration with a 5/8x24 flash can on a 7-8.5" barrel. The adapter that PSA made to replace the handguard cap for the Magpul MOE forend might work if modified, but they don't appear to be selling it as a separate part.

If i want a cylinder bore double barrel 12 gauge that can shoot 3 inch shells would most gun stores have this? whats the best way to get one

i dont have to have one ut i want one

whats a good brand or model

thank you

Walther PPQ M2 or HK VP9?

My main hangup with buying one of them is parts availability. I shoot a lot and like to keep springs and firing pins on hand, but I can't find them for these guns. Do they want you to send them back to the factory for maintenance or what? All I want is a plastic 9mm made for human hands (read: not a Glock).

Didn't want to start my own thread for this.

I've been spending the summer at my grandparents house, and they've got a bit of a wild cat infestation. The only gun I have access too here is their old .22 Carbine.

I'm not necessarily a hunter, but I've shot wild cats at my parents house before (They also lived in the country.). The problem is that I killed them pretty cleanly with an AR-15, but I'm not 100% a .22 is going to do the job.

I'd prefer to kill the cats in one shot, but ultimately because I doubt I'll be able to pull it off, my question is if a .22 has enough stopping power to immobilize it while I finish it off?

If I'm going to end up planting a bullet in the cats side and then have it run off and die from it's wounds 5 hours later under the house, I'm just not going to take the shot.

So this 1916 mauser thing at jg for like $200. Is it worth or should I get the zastava 9mm.

>>34267473

Depends where you hit it.

>>34267473
I've killed wild cats with a .177 air rifle before. Use a decent optic and go for the head.

Cats have this weird thing they do too where if they're mortally injured they'll just kind of flop around in place like a fish. If they do that, you can easily run up and put them down at close range. It's not the cleanest but it works.

I want to get casually into clay shooting. I also don't own a shotgun. Should I go buy a bargain clay shooter like a Tristar, or go with one I could use for HD potentially like a 590,870,etc? I would probably go clay shooting 1-2 times a month max, and I already have 2 ARs, pistols, etc.

>>34267485
I'm pretty confidant I can hit it in the chest or the head, I'm just not confidant I can nail it directly in the eye and into the brain or the heart.

>>34267501
This gun doesn't have an optic, it's all iron sights and I'm too broke to get anything else at the moment.

As far as flopping like a fish, I've seen it myself when I shot one in the chest with the AR-15. I'm just worried that a .22 isn't going to be enough to trigger that, and instead it's going to rush for safety underneath the house and die there slow.

>>34267473
Do you mean kitty wildcats or cougars/bobcats?
If kitty, then yes. If cougar, then no.

>>34267537
If you're a decent shot I'd be confident with irons out to 50-yards or so. A .22 absolutely will put a cat down.

I'll go ahead and take the responses I've gotten so far as a greenlight so long as I get a clean shot to the head or chest. Just to be safe, I'll probably shoot it in the lungs and then jog up and finish it off quickly; I'm maybe a slightly below average shot.

>>34267606
You could also just screen off the bottom of your house and shoot however you please.

semi-/k/ related philosophical question about the ethics of the taking of life versus coexistence with 'evil'. (beyond NAP, when is it 'right' to go to war?)

How do you quantify the loss of human life against suffering?

I'm not talking about from a practical standpoint, I'm talking about from a purely 'moral' one.

e.g. the saudi and nork regiemes are 'evil' and are doing bad shit to their own people. there are plenty of practical reasons to NOT actively antagonize or attack them. I am by no means arguing against this reality; whether you're a murrican, a chinaman, or a slav, each of you know why "even though these guys are assholes", it's in your overall interest to just let it slide.

But what about from a completely detached neutral viewpoint? What if you're superman, or jesus, or doctor manhattan, what have you; unlimited power and no fear of consequences. If your neighbor is engaging in tyrrany; is it more 'right' to cross the border and obliterate the entire leadership/military structure killing many indoctrinated civillian/partisan loyalists and disillusioned soldiers simply 'doing their jobs' alongside the real 'villians' you are hunting? Or to let the rest of the populace continue to 'suffer' under them for a particular amount of time?

I'm not so much talking about any specific weapon system or military tactic, I'm talking more about the the determination process behind the application of strategic 'murder'; if there was no consequence. There's no 'right' or 'wrong' answer, I'm just wondering what perspectives are out there.

When conservative calculations regarding the number of deaths they will cause exceed the pessimistic calculations regarding the deaths your transition will likely cause. probably want to add a margin on top of that too, just to account for possible errors in your assessment.

>>34268896
>when is it 'right' to go to war?
When the other side is inferior to you militarily, and possibly morally/intellectually/religiously/economically/ethnically/racially/ideologically/based on language, and/or the war is beneficial to your nation, and/or you want their clay.

>How do you quantify the loss of human life against suffering?
Most people that we have gone to war against in the past 70 years haven't been human. (their IQ is so low that they are effectively not human)
I don't care about the life or suffering of non-americans and non-anglos/anglogermanics and non-japs.

Also if we initiated total war again, there would only total death, so we wouldn't need to care about suffering.


>I'm not talking about from a practical standpoint, I'm talking about from a purely 'moral' one.
... I misread, Oops.
From a moral standpoint, there is the old(?) quote: A war of aggression can not possibly be just. (Or something along those lines.)

>Or to let the rest of the populace continue to 'suffer' under them for a particular amount of time?
Depends on whether or not you're a nationist. I am. (note: nationism =/= nationalism)
So given global omnipotence I would kill all the shitskins and chinese (most poluting, fastest growing, and stupid peoples) and then balkanize most nations and institute various government styles.

I would basically play ultimate anti-federalism on a global scale. (which includes norks and saudis and but I would also make much much worse governments. However the geographic sizes and populations of the nations would be much smaller.)

>if there was no consequence
As long as we obeyed OPEC mandates, we could invade all of the americans, oceania, and africa and suffer zero consequences. We're 2 of the biggest economies, biggest army, biggest navy, two biggest air forces, on the permanent security council, in NATO, etc. .
There are no consequences.

Dumbass question here. Shooting to the left consistently. Thought it was trigger position, but I can have my finger almost off the trigger or completely on and same problem. Read thumbing can cause it. How do I stop?

I'm not an expert by any means, but I got around pulling my shots like that by just concentrating on my trigger pull and grip. Be sure you're holding the gun in-line with your forearm and pressing the trigger with the pad of your finger while maintaining a firm and even grip.

>20-yards
Try shooting at 10 until you can carve out the center of the target consistently.

Okay yeah that's nowhere near as bad as I was imagining.

My advice is to just keep at it. Focus on not squeezing your thumbs against the frame, and if you're still consistently left after a couple mags try shooting off a rest to make sure your sights aren't slightly out of alignment.

If your sights are on and you're still left seek professional help.

Coyote building a compressor in the 60's, and wrecking while racing. i have his bad habits, but i shoot pretty well for a half trained idiot. it might work for you. but take a pistol course with as good a teacher as you can afford, they will be able to get your straightened out much faster than you trying to figure out what you are doing wrong.

didn't even think of that, figured I'd just get it recrowned, then thought "oh a little brake would protect the crown" or just be cheap about it and counter bore like a 1/4"
I guess I'm mostly asking how bad would a fudd durr gun look with the smallest cheapest brake I can find

I just got the bayonet for my m91/30 fitted (sort off) but now that I look at it the bayonet seems of center or the point is off to the right, it was distracting me and I'm just curious if this is a design feature or if I need to get a new bayonet.

I'm partial to birdcages on hunting rifles, give it a thought.
Quick halfassed brownell search says 74 style brake. I don't think it would look bad, I think it would look quirky in a good way.

How long does it take for Aero Precision to issue store credit? Is it instant or does it take 24 hours?

when was the m2 carbine introduced?
Before or after the stg44?

You can kill yourself.

What do you guys do with your steel/bimetal cases? Are they recyclable?

>>34270988

M2 carbine was in fall 1944, the Stg 44 was originally deployed in '43 as the MP 43 before being renamed Stg 44.

>>34271072
it also just says the m2 was issued in 44.

>>34267481
With the condition of those mausers just get the pistol.

>>34257985
Most revolvers have a transfer bar safety.
There is a space between the hammer and firing pin.
The bar is raised into place only when the hammer is pulled back and is in place when the trigger is pulled. Allowing the gun to fire.
To see this operation pull your hammer back and slowly ease it forward and when you will see the bar hide when the trigger is released.

What caliber is the fifth round in this image?

>>34271119
Thank you anon.

>>34256060
Your chamber may be rusted a little bit creating friction. There is alot of brass to chamber contact when the round is fired. Clean thoughly and if needed polish it out with extremely fine emery cloth. An easy way to do that is wrap a pencil or dowl with the emery cloth.

>>34271265
Something in the back of my brain says chinese.

m lgs has a 12 gauge pardner for 70 bucks, said the firing pin is stuck. it should be pretty simple to replace the springs and have a working gun right?

Do the chinks export the QSZ-92 to canada or anywhere reasonably close that one could smuggle one to the US with a boat?

>>34271311
to clarify, I mean the version in their 5.7 ripoff.

>>34261984
The saying you get what you pay for usually rings true. But I have seen cheap old guns out shoot modern guns. So long as the bore is clean and has a consistent diameter you will be fine. Then find the ammo it likes, this is because some ammunition may be tenths of a micro meter different in diameter as your barrel and be a true match.
But the only way to find out is to try it out.

>>34271311
>>34271319
They don't export anything in their mil cartridges, muh states secrets or something.

>>34258770
How easy is it to miss someone in your own house? When they're potentially armed and may be trying to kill you? Gee, let's think. Not even to be morbid, but how many spree shooters had 100% of rounds fired striking and killing a target? Oh yeah, none of them. If they're shooting at unarmed civilians cowering behind flimsy plywood tables and they STILL miss, how the fuck do you think you're going to react when someone shoots back?
>m-m-muh Magic bang stick will make the baddies go away!
>I just need to load it!
Please don't kill your neighbors by finger fucking your loaded "home defense double barrel" and ND'ing through the fucking wall.

>>34260370
Alright, here's what we do. A jacketed hollow point with U shaped tunnels leading from the nose of the bullet out through the side of the bullet. The sides of the tunnels have a tungsten penetrator. I'm thinking like 6 of them around the radius of the bullet. The hollow point is filled with mercury and capped with polymer. When the round impacts, hydraulic pressure will force the penetrators out of the bullet perpindcular to impact, sending slivers of tungsten outwards from the bullet, thus increasing the likely hood of striking lungs, heart, or the spine.

I love the look of 6 color chocolate chips pattern, does anybody make it in woodland colors.
I saw a sand man wearing some in a documentary but have been unable to find it. I believe he may have dyed his.

>>34271350
Do they export their cartridges?

>>34271403
Nope.

Does anyone have an uploaded collection, torrent file, zip collection or hydrus set of the stencils made from the various stencil threads? I'm looking to fill out the ones I am missing without starting a thread series and forcing it to run for a while to scrape it for content and leech like that.

>>34271450
Just check the third party archives.

>>34271481
Can't scrape them, since hydrus doesn't support it yet but I have been going through manually. Just was holding out hope someone had a full album.

Father's Day is this weekend and my dad's birthday is next week. Thinking about buying him a gun. Current guns he owns:
>side-by-side 12 gauge
>pump 16 gauge
>bolt action .30-06
>semi-auto .22 rifle

Guns I own:
>break open .410
>bolt .22 rifle
>bolt .270
>subcompact 9mm

Also, if I buy him a gun, my mom will want one for her birthday. The .30-06 is technically hers, and it's the only gun she owns. She's aching for a pistol. And I still need to buy myself a semi-auto rifle.

>tl;dr affordable guns for family

What's the typical shooting distance for paper before you start needing some kind of magnifier to see where your shots are hitting?
I'm new to shooting rifles and spent some time shooting at 25 yds with a .22, and at 50 yds with 8mm mauser. I could sort of see the .22 hits, but I couldn't see shit at 50 yds.
Is that typical or are my eyes just garbage?

>>34271654
This is typical. You can use "shoot n c" targets, but they're pricy for what they are. It's a target that has a backing layer of high contrast polymer that leaves a splat mark where you hit. They're pretty good out to about 100 yards depend on what you're shooting. Bigger rounds leave a bigger splat.

Why weren't pump actions more commonplace in rifles? I don't mean a tube mag but just a normal rifle configuration except with a straight-pull bolt handle moved towards the front, worked exactly like a pump. That would have increased potential rates of fire during WW1 times by several times over, surely someone must have thought of doing it.

>>34271672
Probably something to do with locking mechanisms, rim styles, and simplicity of design.

Quads get

do people who use the long ass foregrips on their ar's use them like a hand stop or hold on to the grip mostly

>>34271949
Yes, but that doesn't answer my question.

I want to reload .30-06 to save money. No idea where to start and I'm a poorfag. I did some research and was going to buy the Lee Loader kit, but it says it doesn't fully resize the brass so it won't work in semis. (my rifle's a semi). Can I just get one additional tool that will resize it right? What do I need?

>>34273189
You'll need a press and a set of dies to full length size cases. Lee makes a little hand held press that I think is around 40 bucks? Might be a bear sizing rifle cases, but it will do the job. Id say spend the extra 75 bucks and get the lee classic press.

I want a 12 gauge shotgun that can be used both for home protection and bird hunting. I want to spend the absolute minimum amount of money, while also getting something that's not a piece of shit.

Recommendations?

Get a shotgun with a combo barrel pack. There's a lot of guns for sale that come with a long barrel for hunting and a short barrel for home defense.

Alternately go to a pawn shop, buy a cheap gun and then buy a second barrel for it.

>>34273295
I bought a Mossberg 500 combo with an 18" security barrel, 28" field barrel, wood stock and forend, and pistol grip only option for $350 brand new.

CDNN.com sells .22lr Uzis for around $300. Is it possible to have it rechambered for 9mm? I really want one, but don't want to spend a fortune.

>>34274212

Probably not. You'd have to replace a bunch of parts and even then the receiver may not be built strong enough for the recoil.

>>34254687
it's better than burying all of the topics in goddamned generals.

individually categorized threads + catalog = finding the information you need/a place you can contribute faster.

generals (and qtddtot is a general) should be banned site wide.

>>34257466
>I'm not aware of any gun with an exposed bolt.

if we go full autism, most handguns technically have exposed bolts -- the slide.

Looking to buy an fal, what brands should I stick with? Ideally I want one of the old school fuck huge ones.

>>34267519
If you get into it hardcore you'll get specialized sporting shotguns. No reason to make that jump right now. An 870 or a mossy 500 will do you. Jack of all trades master of none is exactly what you're looking for here.

>>34275514
DSarms are the only people making new FALs. Avoid FALs from Hesse, Vulcan, and Blackthorne. Enterprise kits are good, but old and beat up. Century is hit or miss. Coonan occasionally makes FAL receivers. Other than, check around FNfiles.

Are Hi-Point pistols safe? What's the deal with their price? I was at an Academy today looking for Father's Day sales and saw the pistol section. While other 9mm pistols were well up into the $300-$400 range the Hi-Point was only $160.

I'm a Jew when it comes to buying things, but I know when to put money into objects and not cut corners.

just got a 1911 and some mags
They're a pain in the ass to load. It doesn't look like it's a spring problem, I can compress the spring with a rod fairly easily.
It looks like the cartridges are actually getting hung up on the sidewalls of the mags, like the mag is just a cunt hair too thin.
Return? Shoot a couple times and see if it works out? Anybody else seen this before?

Is there a list of guns, designers, and manufacturers one should be familiar with before browsing /k/? Stuff beyond the AR, AK, and mosin?

>>34277786
You'll learn just from lurking for a while, just don't talk about shit you don't know about like 90% of this board does. The biggest problem is separating fact from memes.

I'm not big on .22 but in my experience Aguila's some good stuff. Almost on par with CCI.

Where's the best place to get ammo? I want 77 grain 5.56 for my 1:7 16" AR. Went to gander mountain because the going out of business sale but all they had was 55 grain .223. And it seems like most websites you can get them in boxes of 20 or 500 with fuckin nothing in between.

Someone is stealing my packages at my apartment. I want to hook up a pepper spray grenade to go off when a package is opened.

The problem is, the only grenades I can find you have to press down on, which probably won't work. Does anyone know of a grenade that only requires a pin being pulled?
