Have a bit of bonus money coming for the quarter.
Willing to spend about $1500 on guns, the rest is going to a bathroom remodel.


Should i:
1. Buy 2 new silencers ( 556k saker and omega 9k)
2. A maxim 9 pistol
3. 1 new silencer (omgea 9k or 556k)
and buy another pistol
4. Zenith mp5 clone
5. Build an
6. Just buy ammo. ( my ammo stash is low)
7. Save it and buy a B&T

I have a specwar762 and octane 45, i have no .308 semis, i dont have a mp5, i see handguns i want ( rex and walther ppq 5)

I cant decide.

Please help.

Is the Century Arms C39v2 really so terrible I shouldn't spend $600 on it?

How does carrying a glock with one in the pipe not kill hundreds of people every year?

I have a g19 and a king tuk iwb holster and i've never had an ND but it just seems like it could happen so easily. How do you say fuck it and just not worry about the trigger somehow getting pulled?

>>34801494
Step 1. Get a good holster that covers trigger effectively

Step 2. Keep your fucking finger off the fucking trigger unless you want bang bang

Step 3. Watch your gun upon reholster so you can observe the trigger/trigger guard for foreign objects

I just installed the E2 grip kit on my P220 and the grips don't fit flush. At first I thought it was because I have the old style trigger bar spring but I removed the trigger bar spring and the entire decocker and the problem persists. Any ideas?

>>34801208

What are you trying to build?

Any one know where I can buy a cheap, torque hex wrench, one that is 20 in-lb for 5/64" screws? All the ones I'm finding are like 60 buckaroos.

>>34801454
If you enjoy 600 dollar gambles, and having to replace parts no matter what, go ahead.

Wait till Robski is done reviewing his model through 5000 gauntlet before you make that purchase.

>>34801208
>2. A maxim 9 pistol
I haven't heard one in person, but seems to me the dB numbers are quite shit, considering it took them years and it doesn't come close to their octane.

What do I know? But, I would have thought a well designed integral should be at least close to a small screw-on.

>>34802363
The screw on is going to have more volume, and as a resut a lower db.

The maxim has a fairly short/thin suppressor and as a result not a lot of volume. But it still looks to be about 134db.

>>34801116

What is the most common "variant" of the HK P2000? I've read about what each of the trigger variants entails, but if I go to a gun store, which are they most likely to have?

>>34802491
139.9 with 147gr subs per their own marketing.

Sure, all else being equal, a higher volume silencer will work better, but it is not just about internal volume.

It's still sorta neat, but the maxim moved way down the list of wants once I saw the numbers.

Anyone know the dealer cost of s dan wesson 1911 cbob?
They are like 1500 online and all the local stores list them for 1700
I wanna know so i can try to haggle.

I know it varies from state to state but this should be good enough right?

>>34801208
Are those silencers good brands? Been looking for one and need advice

>>34802691
Just keep it unloaded ( including magazines), in a locked container if your paranoid, but at least a case. And in the trunk or some where not accessible .

>>34802755
You usually can't go wrong with silencerco (everything he listed is silencerco). There are a lot of other good choices too, and a few bad ones.

It really depends upon what specifically you're looking for.

>>34801822
go to Sears or somewhere similar and buy one

return it the next day saying you don't like it and get your money back

that's how I rent all my tools needed for gunsmithing

I'm building a cheap long range rifle.
I hope to go out to 1000 yards at some point but mostly will shoot at 400 yards. I want a cheap scope and I'm not sure what to pick.
My trick to going cheap on glass is by not using the turrets to dial dope and instead using a mil dot Xmas tree style reticle and doing holds for elevation and wind.
If primary arms still sold their 4-14 r grid I would pick that. Now that I can't use that anymore what should I pick? Turret tracking/zero stop etc also don't matter since I will use holds for all DOPE. I feel like I need at least 14x to 16x as a minimum max magnification since my eyes aren't so great. I need at least 9x st 100 yards to really see the bull of most rifle targets.

>>34802755
For what caliber?

Goto for silencers right now are
Dead air,
Silencerco
Gemtec
Sig
Aac


Silencer co still makes good stuff, but there has been a bit of a shake up in management. Which is common in the industry. And a lot of their guys went to dead air.


For a 762 or 556 can that is the best quick detach, dead air.
For a damn good one that is almost as good, maybe a db or two higher, silencerco is still golden.

For lower priced YHM and Gemtec

Sig and aac round out the top.


Then you have nitch players like Thunder Beast for precision rifles.

And a bunch of smaller companys like elite iron, ect that are not as nicely made, but fit a price point.

I have no idea what handgun to get. I just turned 21 and have shot a few buddy's guns and they all feel good. CZPO9, CZPO1, G19, 1911, Sig 226. All felt pretty nice but none stood out to me except the DA pull on the Sig and P09 which felt like a fucking Mosin trigger. I already have a Shield for a carry gun but I want something a little bigger for a sidearm to my rifle. How do you guys decide what you want? I've got like 450 to 500 to spend if that helps

>>34802868
Duty guns like the po9 and 226 have a heavy da pull because cops are clumsy.

>>34802890

Sadly. I'm not autistic enough to need a 10 pound pull to keep me from shooting myself. I've carried for 4 months now at like 4:30 on my body and the trigger isn't the best but I enjoy getting gud with one trigger and not hitting the post holding a target up.

>>34802602
Left side Decocker only or left side safety+decocker.

>>34802948
Get gud

>>34801208
B&T or Maxim 9

>>34803022

no u. get a better da

By not being a retard? (pic)

They even make a striker control device for them. Why do people have this misconception that OH MY GOD GLOCKS ARE SO FUCKING DANGEROUS but don't bat an eyelid at VP9's, M&P's, etc?

The reason you think Glocks are dangerous is that they're very popular in law enforcement compared to other firearms so there will of course be more accidents with them, compared to less common and newer striker fired pistols. Seriously, stop being dumb. If you really want, get an unloaded Glock, make sure it's 100% unloaded and carry it around your house to see if it goes off. Spoiler alert: it won't so long as you have a quality holster

>what separates these from USPs?
No hands-on experience with either, but a big difference is the rail. The P2000 is similar to a glock, while the USP is proprietary. That and some ergonomic stuff. And no safety on the P2000.

Why is the slide trigger so rare in comparison to the hinged trigger? AFAIK only 1911 and HK VP70 has a slide trigger. I just want an aesthetic trigger for my striker fired wonder 9.

>>34802868
>All felt pretty nice but none stood out to me except the DA pull on the Sig and P09 which felt like a fucking Mosin trigger.

This is because you haven't learned how to utilize a DA pull so it is percieved as something unmanageable to you. With practice, it is as easy as shooting anything else.

If you legitimately have trouble with a 10lb DA pull, not even being an asshole but you need to git gud at shooting.

Here is a Wolf .308, notice what looks like a groove or maybe even a crack near the head. This is the worst looking one of the case but they all have something noticeable there. Is this going to kaboom my rifles? I've shot loads of Wolf 9mm and .223 without issue but this is my first time with .308, I was always afraid since case failures seeming more common in the .308.

What was with the Brit sitting on the tip of a sunken U boat near the start of Dunkirk? I think he said it was a U boat anyways. Or did he say the ship got shot by a U boat?
>fuck off to /tv/
Those fags saw the Emoji movie instead

>>34803585

Of course. Im decent with the stock Glock trigger and it is nice to have that one trigger pull instead of slowing down to get a good da shot especially when hitting the decocker over and over to practice it

yes it will blow your gun up

my formerly noguns buddy got a Garand as his first firearm. We're taking it to the range this weekend. Do I need hand tools or anything to adjust the sights?

>>34803719
That was a passenger ship or troop transport that got sunk by a U-Boat. It's hard to follow because of the non-linear narrative, but Cillian Murphy's character was last seen in the "main" timeline in a rowboat going off to find a vessel to take them across the channel. So he either found a transport or a merchant ship that later on got sunk before he got picked up by the small boat on Day 2.

>>34803597
$300 is a good enough price for a Shield. $400 is what you'll see them going for at big-box stores. Just don't pay more than $350.

i doubt any of us have enough time/ammo to shoot as much as we want. that being said whats your favorite drills/ways to practice with limited ammo?

>>34804042
Thanks anon.

Thinking of getting these as my first firearms

I like to practice at targets beyond my skill, like 8" plates at 100 yards with handgun. After several mags practicing at those I feel the more practical targets/ranges are easy.

I don't really practice any drills with rifles. Just shoot groups. I never use rifle for anything but hunting and shooting groups, but that's just me.

Really it's a Hungarian Hi-Power, but yeah they're good. Most of the them have a lot of cosmetic wear, but almost no internal wear unless from misuse. Case in point, my pistol looks like it was barely ever fired, but my trigger pin was broken from a dipshit trying to push it out the wrong direction. Get the direct copy of the Hi-power so you have interchangeability. Great guns for a reasonable price of anywhere from 250-350 dollars. My recommendations though, replace the trigger pin with a roll pin or new trigger pin and maybe remove the magazine disconnect if the trigger still isn't great for you. Generally though, Hi-Powers are known for not fantastic triggers.

>>34804196
>>34804143
ive done the one with shooting handguns at like 100 yds. another i usually do with handguns is staple an index card and shoot 3 shots. if im happy with the group il take a few steps back and repeat.
rifles i just set up a milkjug or something between 100 and 300 yds and just take time plinking at it. not sure if it makes me better but its fun.
i recently moved into a new apartment so ove got less money for ammo, just trying to make the most out of it.

shut the fuck up. 223 and 9mm are cheap enough to learn on. stop this meme

How hard is a Full size Uzi parts kit to build with a fully welded semi auto receiver? I want to make a "pistol" that's more true to form (regular barrel, but no stock) if that makes a difference.

>>34804530

nigger. why spend the money on another rifle to learn to shoot the rifle he's gonna buy. maybe for children it's a good learner. just get the AR and Glock

>>34804094
I'd agree with >>34804229
Don't go full metal retard by getting weapons that you can't handle....start with something a little more basic and work your way up from there. It's hard to fuck up with a 22, but don't take it as a challenge.

>>34804548
Dunno
But why bother?
Look for 22lr barrel liners. They are more expensive, but they ship from the USA and are rifled.

This buy is using a .357 barrel liner and it doesnt explode, granted he has plastic around it

>>34804229
I thought about picking up a 10/22, but my budget is pretty limited since I'm a collegefag. Is it really that much of a bad idea to just pick up a 5.56 first?

>>34804491
Probably a Gen 4, but I'm open to Gen 3 since I've heard the 4's triggers can be mushy

>>34801519
Should have got a glock, far better accessories. Plus It won't fire if you drop it.

>>34804560
Then why not be a complete idiot and buy a S&W 500 for his first gun?

>in b4 strawman
It's pretty much buying a gun just because it looks nice without any thought about being able to use it safely. A .22 is a much safer approach because it can be used as a beginner caliber as well as for small game and plinking for any skill level

>>34804599
Why would I look for .22 barrels when I don't need them? Like I said, I'm just curious.

>>34804637

I say it's not a bad idea. Collage fag so I assume you won't shoot as often. It's what I did in collage just buying 5.56 occasionally and throwing it in a little box to save up. I was mainly buying and shooting 9mm because I was pretty bad with handguns.

>>34804663

he's not asking about an S&W 500 you dumb cunt. they're not gonna hit him in the head because he doesn't know how to shoot a 500 nor is he gonna drop 6k on a 338 lapua.

He's gonna get an AR and Glock. If he was wanting to get into long range shooting, I doubt anyone would disagree with him buying a 308 or the like to start off and get used to it or the 500 analogy, him buying a 357 to get used to revolvers and go to a 500

>>34801116
Are suppressed guns without subsonics really that UNhearing safe? Or are they euro death metal concert levels?
Another question
Do sub sonic rounds preform poorly?

>>34805363
They're hearing safe, and to answer your second question it obviously depends on the cartridge and bullet. Because you're limited by speed the only way to increase power is by using a bigger bullet, within reason. The best performing subsonic rounds, like .300 blackout, can't compare to normal rifle rounds, especially at long range, but are generally better than what you'd get with a handgun.

>>34801116
I have a stevens 620A pump shotgun chambered and proofed for 12 ga 2.75

It will possibly reliably feed 3" shells but are they safe to fire from it and could I fire a brenneke black magic bear slug from it safely.

>>34805363
for hearing safe, depends on the gun/suppressor. I've seen some 9mm pistol cans that were only hearing safe with subs, and then some that were safe no matter the ammo.
For the second question- I'm sure good projectile design can mitigate any issue caused by lower velocity: consider that .45acp, .40s&w, and many 9x19mm loads are all subsonic. You'll never get supersonic rifle performance out of anything subsonic though.

I want a really cheap gun! Less than a hi point!

Is .45 ball good enough protection for innawoods stuffs?

>>34804716
He's in college and on a budget. Why not get something he can clean and feed relatively easy like a 10/22?
>>34804637
An AR is fun and all, but before you drop $500-$700 on a basic AR, why not spend $200-$300 on a 10/22 instead of going all out on the first guns you buy? I can agree with the glock though....it has a good enough fan base behind it that there's little chance of it being a poor decision. As well as both a 10/22 and G19 have many aftermarket options.

>>34805644
no just no. its chambering 3inch shells because 3inch is the size of the shell after firing. the crimp makes the initial overall size much less than 3. you will blow up your gun you stupid fuck.

>1. Buy 2 new silencers ( 556k saker and omega 9k)

How available is the ammo? Is it going to be good for marksmanship at like 100 yards?

>>34806334

he didn't ask for it and probably doesnt have the time to dick around and shoot all day. he probably just wants his bases covered. ARs aren't impossible or that hard to learn on either.

kek.

.22 WMR maximum effective range is maybe 100 yards on a not-so-windy day.

Given the current cost of nuggets, I'd say this guy is trying to fuck you over. Savage 93s are not very expensive guns.

>>34801116
Thanks, Gerry.

My question is:

I want a DeLisle Carbine.
I was considering trying to find a sporter Enfield, rebarrel, find/make a mag adaptor, and then...then I got stuck.

Should I go the whole 9 yards and make that fuckhuge shroud, ported barrel, "German muzzle device", crazy-ass baffle system, and then figure a way to make (it find) sights?

Or, should I just take the new barrel and thread THAT for a .45 can?

I've got no issue filing a form 1 and waiting on it, because this is a long term project, anyway.

Bad deal.

Savge 93 is between 150-$300 depending on model.


I had one in 22wmr. It is a fun round, but is out classed by the .17 cal options.

The cost of ammo is more than 22lr. And it isnt any better as a range gun, but is a better hunting round if you are trying to pop foxes and other fur bearing animals.

Yes. True (hot) Bluing is just a type of iron oxide (rust) but is chemically induced. It's only a few microns deep, can be removed, and can unfortunately also turn to regular rust. (Pic sadly related, it was originally solid blue/black steel)

The only real way to get it back to Bluing is to literally grind off the damage all the way down to the bare metal and re-blue.

Luckily, that base of blued metal is tough as nails, but anything that can fuck up a nail will fuck up the finish. It gets more finicky when the finish is a mirror sheen, too.

If you shoot it, clean it. Don't use steel wool for nearly any reason. Be careful of acids and oxidizers (especially blood because that shit WILL fuck up nearly any iron/steel based finish).

>>34809580
End of muzzle, but since you're usually talking dozens of yards (at minimum), it effectively doesn't matter. Once you're done with zero, just remember the zero distance and adjust from there.

>>34809646
Depends on how I read your question.

>how rapidly can a gun fire multiple times with the same barrel/firing port?
Depends on the mechanism of fire/action. Modern day bolt actions fire at the speed of the user's hands being able to manipulate the action and pull the trigger again. Semiautomatic guns are ready to fire in tenths, if not hundredths, of a second. Fully automatic guns just keep going at a manufacturer established pace until ammo runs out, the user stops firing, or a malfunction occurs. Revolvers wait until you pull the trigger.

>how fast is the velocity of the projectile?
Depends on powder load, mass of projectile, and amount of volume the powder load has to expand while expending all/most of its force on the projectile.

All other things being equal:
Mass of projectile and top speed trade off
Longer barrel with bolt action > shorter barrel with bolt action
Longer distance to gas port for semis > shorter

Adjustments CAN be made, and lots of shit can occur.

Get an SWFA Super Sniper fixed 10x40 they also make a 12x or 14x I believe.

These scopes are 50bmg rated and virtually unfuckupable and are <$500

Is 16" the optimal length for a 5.56 AR? Also what optic should i get?

What are some good gun sales site aggregators? I want to get a USP but the prices locally are pretty much MSRP, and I think I should be able to do better.

>>34811703
It's the legal length without any fuckery. M193 was designed for and performs best from a 20"

>>34811726
So how does it perform out of shorter barrels? I handled a 10.5. At my lgs the other day, it was damn handy

So I wanted a rail mounted carry handle for my m&p sport 2, is there any real difference between various brands and prices? will a $25 detachable carry handle be fine out should I spend more?

In the previous thread someone told me I should put a light coat of oil on just about everything in/on my shotgun. Other sources are saying I should be careful to not get oil on parts of the shotgun. What gives /k/?

I have a Ruger 556 with an A2 handgrip. How easily can I replace that with an Mloc, keymod or quadrail?

What should I be looking into in order to get my self a nice nugget for <$250?

>>34811999
Oil attracts particulates.

More oil -> more particulate buildup possibility

Use your brain. Lube moving parts, but don't overdo it.

How can I tell if my A2 birdcage on my AR is pinned or loctited?

And how can i remove it?

>>34811839
M193 out of a 10.5" barrel is BARELY able to reach the minimum fragmentation velocity of 2700 fps, like +/- 50fps within 100yds. In other words, unreliable.

Out of a 20" barrel M193 is cooking right along at 3250 fps at 150yds

A 16" barrel is fine shooting all common 223/5.56, just make sure you get a mid length gas system. Colt is the only carbine gas 16" rifle I'd put money into, because you could get that money back out later if you wanted.

>>34812223
clamp it in a vice and apply a cheater bar. if it comes off its nothing or locktite. if its welded you cut the weld or drill out the pin. this usually destroys the flashhider unless you are really careful.

What length is the barrel? If it's 16" or more there's no reason for it to be permanently attached.

Pin and welds are usually done at the bottom of the muzzle device, and should be pretty visible.

Have the work done professionally if you want to save the A2 (don't know why you would want to, an A2 costs $8)

They have (apparently) minute-of-barn accuracy and while seeming cool and dirt cheap, are no better than most other DAO single-stack nines. I molested one and the trigger pull AND reset was heinously long, bordering on almost an entire inch of pull

>>34812292
>If it's 16" or more there's no reason for it to be permanently attached.
Depends on if you live in a fag state that makes threaded barrels illegal. Permanent attachment of a muzzle device makes it not threaded.

>>34812223
It shouldn't be loctited, and who cares if it is? If it's pinned, there might be a spot of weld on the back of the bottom to cover the hole the pin went into.

Should I get an M1 carbine?

If yes, modern reproduction or original?

Do they make 10rd mags? I live in NY.

CCW question. I carry a PPS in an appendix holster. On the weekend I have no problems carrying one in the chamber, the familiar sense of the gun harassing my right testicle on outings as a gentle reminder.

On the weekdays, I work in a shared building with a 30.06/30.07 sign out front. So I store the gun in my glove compartment.

My question is, between car accidents and passengers, what is the best practice for leaving a gun in the glove compartment when you are not in the car? The gun will be in the kydex holster, but can it be stored chamber empty? If not, lunch break means chambering and then un-chambering in the adjacent parking garage. Is that just life?

Hell no. ARs are currently less expensive, more reliable, have a greater aftermarket, have the ability to chamber many types of rounds (including 7.62x39 and 5.45x39), and most importantly are so available they might as well be growing on trees.

Hey /k/ nogunz here. Been considering a Ruger Mini Thirty as a general ranch rifle and to shoot on the weekends. This a good choice? And is it worth getting the stainless barrel if Im in rural high desert where it snows in the winter? Im familiar with the issue they have shooting russian steel cased but ive read you can fix that by grinding the firing pin and plan to do that.

If youve got alternatives Im open. Price isnt a huge issue, looking for a more traditional stock/pattern. Sidepoints if also viable for protecting warehouse from riots.

>>34814747
If you want a 7.62x39 rifle, get a WASR and call it a day. Mini-30s are too expensive for what they are. Mags are a bitch to find and expensive too.

>>34814747
If you want a "traditional" stock, in 7.62x39 get a veper .
The mini 30 and mini 14 are guns from another time, that should be left theee unless you are in a anti gun state.

>>34814722

That would be ideal, to just dowel it, but I am not so sure NJ would accept it. 15 is the limit for any semi auto tube fed or otherwise, and I'd have to measure using 22 short. I don't think it's actually possible without some more drastic modifications.

Is bullet set back a meme? I went through and measured all of my carry guns ammo and found that all the ammo is very close to the same OAL. Some of the rounds have been chambered 3-4 times, the rest none. Yet they all still read the same. How many times does a round have to be chambered to notice any set back?

TLDR - Is bullet set back a meme? My carry ammo shows no signs of OAL change despite multiple chamberings.

>>34814228
Get a vechicle gun lock box installed.

Even if it is a simple metal box cabled under the seat.

Fort knox makes some nice ones. That can be mounted. That is the best option.
If it is a pps m1 pull the back strap off. Then the gun cant fire.

>Grinding the firing pin to make it shoot Russian steel case

This sounds like a way to puncture a primer and vent gas all over your shit. Or just ruin a firing pin.

Some people will beef up the firing pin spring, but then the firing pin can snap. Beefier firing pins can be had, but they require fitting and, of course, spending even more money.

If you really, really want a traditional looking 7.62x39, just get an SKS. They're not the fabulously cheap rifle of the working man they used to be, but they can still be found for half of what that stainless mini-30 is going to cost you, plus they take stripper clip and there's an endless amount of aftermarket bullshit that can be strapped to them.

If you like tho look of the mini, get the mini-14. The mini-14 doesn't have any major issues beyond just not really being worth the price, and the stainless ones look pretty sick with a matching accu-strut and scope.

>>34814851
Any AR will suit you well as a ranch rifle. What do you expect to be shooting? Hogs or coyotes can both be taken down easily with 5.56

Finding factual posts about "issues" with the milled version is sketchy. It is Century but American industry is god tier as far as milling goes and virtually nothing we make is stamped steel vs euros. I mean PTR has been operating for a while and still cannot into QC. Stick with milled if buying American.

>>34814866
sounds fucked but the procedure was actually pretty simple. you basically just flatten out the concave firing pin giving a wider strike area, but i cant claim to know as i havent done it. Considered the 14 but was hoping for something I could shoot deer with as well.

>>34814851
Then just get an ar-15. If you have to have a non pistolgrip stock, there is the ares ar-15 abomination.

In 308 there are a few "traditional" options, like the fnar, and many semi auto hunting rifles by browning.
The m1a.
If your set on the mini30 get it. But know there are other , options.

for 3 gun match I'm between 2 shotguns but I'm not sure which one should I really pick.

Model 930 JM Pro Series or the Benelli M4

which one and why?

>>34814922
Ive taken javelina with an ar15.

Mule deer... i would want a .308.

Buld or buy an ar10. (Unless you want to save the coyote fur.

Stag arms has a new ar10 that is well priced and getting good reviews.

I have a 930. Take down and cleaning of the action sucks. Unless the M4 is as bad or worse, that's a mark for it right there.

>>34814822
Assuming you're worried about damage to carry ammo from re-chambered, I'd be more concered with damage to the primer.

Just burn through your mag of carry ammo every month or so at the range and it won't matter.

>>34814961
>Deer

I don't know if I'd really recommend .223 or 7.62x39 for most deer, but both can work. You might want to check up on local laws about it where you live.

>>34815008
Well.... the m4 is double the price. But is a nicer made gun.

The gas+inertia system can be finicky. But is generally good.
The m4 has a cross bolt safety which is much easier to use with a pistol grip.


The mossberg is $800 cheaper, and that is a lost of money to go to tricking it out or just buying ammo.
The mossberg has a tang safety which can be hard to reach.

>>34815205
Different anon here. If you're going .308 and like traditional rifle ergos, you could get an M1A. It'll be kind of pricey though, as will the ammo. .308 isn't a cheap round, nor is it easy to learn to shoot on.

>>34815180
>>34815207

ok everyone is telling me to go with the Benelli

>>34815008
Consider the m2 rather than the m4.

I see a lot of them here in 3gun, more so than the m4.

https://youtu.be/a6GWfg193vQ

>>34815274
If you can afford it, sure.

But a $900 gun and $1000 of ammo will be much better than a $2000 gun and no practice ammo.

Also consider the cost of accessories.

I don't actually remember, and that's the problem. I wanted to get one of the muzzle brakes (the effin-a being one of them) and don't know if I needed to have work done to it before i could get it off and the other one installed.

is there a revolver similar to the mr73 that isn't as exclusive?
everywere i look its sold out, ridiculously expensive, or beaten to hell.

i'm looking for something chambered in 357 that's sturdy but cheap.

If you're going innawoods what's the real point in carrying a shovel? The only good reason I can think of is the one fire you can build that is completely underground

>>34815227
.308 is a pricier option, both for guns and for ammo. It's also a tougher round to shoot, especially for a beginner, though it will be more than enough for a deer.

5.56, 7.62x39, and .300 blackout all /can/ be used to kill a deer, but depending on the range and situation, it may not be a very clean kill.

Keep in mind, 7.62x39 is not that much more powerful than 5.56, and both skirt the "1000 foot pounds" rule of thumb when it comes to what you want in order to kill a deer.

However, both are relatively cheap and widely available, and they're very easy cartridges to learn how to shoot on thanks to the low recoil and low cost of practice.

If you really just want to go out and kill deer, .308 might be the way to go, but for pest control and learning how to shoot, 5.56 and 7.62x39 are going to be better options in the long run.

not an M4 benelli. the loading and ejection ports are small and cramped, it is heavy and a bit unwieldy, the stock sucks, and it way more expensive than it should.

the M2 is a better gun in virtually every sense, can be customized to fit you to a T, is much more user friendly, and is much cheaper, which can be used for customization and ammo.

I have a glock 34, i want a good front sight but i am okay with the stock adjustable rear. Does anyone know a good front sight that will work with the rear without being too tall/short ? Preferably an fiber optic.

Hokay, so, I turned 18 a few months back and want a gun. I've been digging the FN FAL but a pump action shotgun seems more practical for just keeping in the house and for shooting deer in the chest. How autistic are those thoughts on a scale of Chad to Sam the Autist?

>>34815452
No it doesnt have that reputation.

It may need some tuning if you use light loads, like low recoil buck. But so would an inertia gun , like a benelli m2.

The mossberg is a bigger pita to take down.

And of course remember 3gun is a toy show as much as a shooting comp. So a lot of dick wagging goes on.

Ruger gp100.

>>34815588
If you want home defense, then you'll probably want to avoid a big boy caliber like that. Since you're only 18 you're stuck with long arms, so a shotgun might be what you need if you plan on shooting some durr and aren't confident in .223 for that job.
Don't let the AR15 autists fool you, a shotgun works just fine for home defense and it's been working for a long time. You just don't want that .308 blasting your neighbors through the walls.

>>34815588
Shotgun is good for home defense and can be used to hunt deer. Not a bad choice for a practical first gun, though not really something you can spend a lot of range time with.

I really appreciate the history of the rifle so I'd fucking love to get one of the original stocks (pic related) but I also dont want to keep destroying and rebuying stocks, so I'm left with stronger synthetic stocks. But most of them just look ugly to me.

I have a $1000 budget to buy 2 sets of body armor. I've watched some videos by The Wound Channel and he recommends AR500 3+ plates over all others in terms of bang for buck. From what I understand, 556 can penetrate LVL3 AR500 plates if shot from a 20 inch barrel, however from watching a demolition ranch video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duxeXrz6Pvg) I see LVL3 stands up to 556 from a 16 inch barrel.

Basically, i'm considering keeping a plate carrier with AR500 3+ plates + trauma pads with the extra anti spalling coating at home, and having the AR500 ESCORT armor plate carrier with LVL3 plates in my car.

Are there any other metal plates that are better than AR500 plates for the money? Im set on metal plates vs soft armor or ceramic due to their 20 year warranty and durability.

>>34813635
I vote .380 for +2 rounds, but also guns in .380 tend to be more easily concealable.

>>34817273
That's what I was leaning towards as well (more easily concealable). I love revolvers but the cylinder is where they fall short for me for concealment. My only issue with .380 is that it seems like you can't use if you want FBI penetration standards whereas .38 Special will penetrate to their standards with wadcutters.

I bought a BB gun so I could shoot it wherever but literally the next day there was a terrorist attack so now I'm scared of getting arrested/killed for shooting cans in the alley behind my house.

Where, in a city, is it generally safe and acceptable to fire a bb gun other than indoors? Would slathering it in loud paint work?

Also, being a BB gun, the mallninja options for it are limited but what are some Fun items I should get to strap onto it? I was at an army/navy surplus store recently and they had 11mm to picatinny adapters, but nothing actually interesting other than conventional scopes. does anything fun actually exist or is it all ACOGs and lasers I'll never use when I have a 4x scope and high vis plastic irons as standard anyway

For many decades police in Western countries carried calibers like .32 ACP (7.62 Browning), .38 Special, .380 ACP, .32 Colt, and various other calibers. .357 Magnum was for the big boys. In the last few decades American cops decided 9mm was to be the new "standard" and it has done fine for many years.

Now all of a sudden police handguns and CCW's NEED to be .45 ACP or .40 S&W (or even 10 fucking millimeter) and 9mm is the bare minimum of offensive and defensive shooting by serious users. People haven't evolved to be bullet resistant!

What happened? Why have the populace and police adopted higher calibers with such gusto?

if you're a normal civilian you won't need plates. if you need plates you're probably in a situation that is so fucked the plates won't be of much use to you anyway.

jamal and his brothers don't use ar's in 5.56 or g3's in 7.62 to rob liquor stores or hold up people at atms. they use jiminez pistols hi points and shivs. be sensible and get a lvl IIIa or lvl II soft vest with stab resistance and be discreet with it.

i'm not saying you can't have it i'm just saying you really don't need it.

I misprinted, .32 ACP is 7.62 Browning. My mistake.

>>34818960
We're not supposed to kill people whether we are police or conceal carry. We're supposed to stop threats with minimal use of force. If your intent is to kill you should get your head checked out.

Those small calibers were good enough for many assassinations including US President and the Archduke Ferdinand. Don't say they "couldn't kill".

>>34819000
Smaller bullets had more of a deterrent effect before modern medical treatment, since you were highly likely to bleed out or get infected. No transplants or ICUs back then.

Today, 80% of people shot with a handgun survive. If you're in ambulance range and don't take it in the CNS you'll probably live.

Most career criminals know this. Since guns aren't so intimidating as they used to be, effective stops rely on actually incapacitating people, and that means killing them 99% of the time.

All lethal force is...wait for it...legally, lethal force. A .22 is not different from a .44 in the eyes of the law. It's just shittier at doing its job.

>>34819067
Ah I see. It's really because of advances in the medical community that people have gravitated towards more powerful and larger handgun cartridges. That makes complete sense.

>All lethal force is...wait for it...legally, lethal force
I know that. But the intent is never to kill. It's to incapacitate. That's why cops don't execute criminals after dumping enough rounds in them to make them go down (assuming the criminal doesn't still have a weapon). Yes the force is lethal but it doesn't have to be lethally used. You see?

>>34819845
doesnt make any difference, I own a G19, full size M&P9, and a Shield

A more realistic concern would be going to a gun with a different manual of arms, but Glock and M&P are the same. Grip angle doesn't mean shit

>>34820021
This is kinda what I was thinking. Many thanks.

Difference in trigger doesnt throw you off?

I was considering putting apex shoes on both of them eventually. They'll never be identical, but I figured they'd be a touch more consistent with each other.

>>34820037
It hasn't thrown me off yet. There's a noticeable difference between the glock and fs M&P trigger, but the triggers in the Shield are better than their big bros. I'm actually a better shot out to 25yds with the shield than I am the full size M&P

That's about what I figured. I was just curious as to whether or not it actually offered any sort of advantage other than making real guns look like nerf

>>34820299
Cerakote is usually applied by mallninjas or adult children who like the _idea_ of kryloning a gun, but are afraid of wear patterns developing. They see their gun primarily as a fashion accessory or barbie doll to be dressed up and look nice, not be used like the tool it actually is.

cerakote seriously is for fgts

I'm looking for a really cheap but really reliable handgun to keep permanently in my car. I'm thinking cheapest fullsize hipoint I can find, does this sound right?

When trap shooting, I understand that you're supposed to point not aim, but then people tell me to put the bead on the leading edge of the bird. What do they mean by this? Also, I seem to have the best results when I focus exclusively on the bird and pull the trigger when the muzzle obscures the bird, but this seems contrary to aiming below the bird.

Yes, that is correct, but you shouldn't ever leave a gun in your car. Your car in many cases counts as public so if someone break into your car and takes your gun, shoots a guy and gets caught you can be charged for negligence. You should always keep a gun on you or in your home.

Test

I'm looking at buying a G20 or G40 in the next month or so as a fun/hog hunting gun. Going to be looking at compensating the gun, and getting an ALG 6-Second Mount or similar for the gun. My question is, on their website they state that the mount fits on a variety of glocks, but NOT the G40. However the G40 has an identical frame as far as i can tell. Does anyone know if I can or cannot mount it on a G40? I have only fired a G19 and G20 as a rental so I am not particularly knowledgeable on them.

What's the deal with Cerakote? I've seen plenty of people bitch about it here, but after reading an article here and there about it - it seems to be a decent way to add some additional durability to a carry pistol. Is it just a /k/ meme or is it actually trash?

I was able to shoot a G20 faster than the 40 which was weird. Stock parts and all, both shooting Sig 180 grain. I say get a G20 and if you want more velocity, get a longer barrel for your G20. If it says it won't fit on the 40, don't sag fuck it and try it. Why don't you buy a milled slide or something for the G40 if you want it and it to have a red dot?

Do you all think that there would be a market for a very thin and lightweight .380 pistol with a 3.5"-4" barrel and a short grip holding only 6+1 rounds? With a large trigger guard for gloves? Something like a bastardized mix of a XDS and a P3AT?

Tech sights aren't a scope, it's a rear aperture sight designed to mimick an ar15 rear sight. It mounts to the holes for the picatiny rail.

It's much more likely that the holes on the rear sight itself weren't drilled in a straight line. Contact the company and see if you can get a replacement before spending any money on your gun.

I heard back in the day when the german govt bought the G36 they paid like 600 Money per gun.
(The problem is, I don't know if that figure is € or DM. So its either 600€ or 300€. Thats $700 or $350.)

Bonus info: civilian versions of either gun (G3/G36) are both around 1.5k€.

Would like some opinions and advice anons.

I just built up a sort of modern m40(m70 variety) clone using a new winchester 70 in 30 06, with a featherweight barrel, and swfa 10x HD scope.

I went with a new m70 because IMO they are smoother and the stock trigger is really nice compared to rem 700, I also like the idea of the controlled round feed type actions.

I went with 30- 06 because It was the caliber used at the time, its my idea of a gun panic proof caliber, its pretty much equal to 308 ballistics wise when using factory ammo, and I can get factory match ammo for it if I want to get real accurate.

I went with a featherweight barrel over a sporter because after reading Carlos Hathcock's writings and such, he mentions switching out his heavy contour barrels for the lighter sporter barrels due to being an overall lighter carry rifle, and not needing a heavier barrel for hunting because you shouldnt need to take more than 5 follow up shots in the same area. Which makes sense to me at least, so I went even further and just got a featherweight instead of a sporter.

I went with the fixed 10x because even on my variables im usually between 9-12x. Yes, I am aware its outdated, but I like it, and the HD model I have is very good for the price I paid. I put it on a two piece talley ring/mount, since it saves weight by not having a picatinny rail and seperate rings.

Im still figuring out what kind of sling I want, but I might go with either some kind of web sling, or a montana leather sling. Im also considering switching out the sling swivel studs for wichita sling style.
