My old unit had a bunch of early C8 carbines. A1 rear sight, pencil barrel, none of that ambidextrous crap. They were pretty rough; some of the buffer tubes weren't even anodized, and some had painted aluminum stocks. They were so handy though. Like an oversized pistol.

How's the aluminum stock compare to the plastic stock? I've held CAR-15 sized guns and they're very handy and comfortable in their size, but I've never felt the old aluminum stocks.

That must be a really old C8 though, aluminum carbine stocks go back to like the 80's and earlier.

Anyone shoot a Robinson XCR before? It's the only way to get an AR-like gun where I live without stupid restrictions.

You in Canada? You can get a .223 caliber Vz58 sporter on a regular PAL, and you can get them with a magwell to take 'pistol' magazines, meaning you can have 10+1 capacity, then you can 'wedge' two pistol magazines together to have 10+10+1 capacity.

It's much cheaper than the Robinson.

They pay for themselves and usually hold their value very well, meaning that if you want to sell them, you can usually make near most of your money back.

Is there a particular type gun you are interested in? There are some economy weapons which are pretty good.

It's also a very good weapon.

The Bren, and the ZB26 (which it was based on), were probably the best light machineguns of the WW2 era.

I honestly don't know an awful lot about it, I just like British weapons.

I think I read somewhere the Bren was good because it was top loading, which made it easier to reload while prone. Might be wrong though.

Well it's based on the ZB26, which was a Czech weapon, the ZB26 was in 7.92mm Mauser, the British bought the rights to produce it in their own caliber, .303
Bren standing for Brno (the original maker of the ZB26), and Enfield (the makers of the .303 gun)

It's good for many reasons, it has a quick-detach barrel, meaning when you shoot the gun a lot and the barrel gets hot, you can detach it and take it off, then attach a spare barrel which is cool, allowing you to keep shooting (while your hot barrel cools down). Basically, as long as you have loaded magazines and barrels, you can keep shooting.

The top-loading made sense for prone shooting, given that the 30rd magazine in .303 is kind of tall.
There was also a 100rd drum magazine made for the gun, which ideally was used when the gun was put on a tripod or other static mount, with these drums and plenty of spare barrels to use, the Bren could passingly serve as a General Purpose Machinegun, being used for fortified positions and for anti-air fire, especially with someone to assist with loading and swapping barrels.

Compare it to the American BAR, and it's quite a lot better.

>>21204
I like to think that the Type 96 and Type 99 were further refinements of the Bren/vz. 26 cause they had a few better things going for them.

No, it's a Sterling. But it's one of the first thousand made, which puts it's date of manufacture sometime around 1979.

>>21204
>Compare it to the American BAR, and it's quite a lot better.

It makes me wonder why the BAR seems so popular and well known now. Is it just because it was American?

>>21210
Oh yeah, I tend to forget about the Japanese LMGs because so many of the other guns the Japs used in WW2 were kind of weird and wonky, but yeah, those were quite good.

I think the Japs actually bought ZB26 guns to use in their tanks now that I actually think about it, they'd put a telescope on it for the gunner inside, so they'd get quite some range if needed.

>>21225
A: because John Moses Browning was behind a lot of very significant firearms development so people cut him some slack for his weirder designs

B: the A1 design from WW1 was actually not terrible, it was when Army Ordnance decided to "upgrade" the thing for WW2 it became kind of wonky. The WW1 gun was many pounds lighter than the WW2 gun.

C: It was on the winning side of the war, so there's some machismo to it.

D: muh .30-06

>>21225
>>21251
Also, despite the flaws of the gun, US troops managed to put it to ok use.

Alone, it's not that amazing, but two separate BAR gunners could lay down mobile enough support/suppressive fire, taking turns intermittently firing very short bursts (like two shots at a time), to cover for each other, and this could work pretty well, because two rifle bullets impacting near you with uncomfortably frequency does a lot to suppress you.

>>21251
Marines actually still used the M1918A1 over the A2 during WWII because it has the semi-auto function.

>>21279
Oh yeah, the A2 didn't have semi-auto, only a selector for slow to fast (the most retarded thing you can actually put on something with a fixed barrel and 20rd magazines).

If it was available, I could really see why someone would go for that, the only thing it really lacks is a bipod.

>>21295
I'm sure the Marine armorer's were able to modify A2 biopods to fit on the A1. That's what they did for the M16.

>>21305
The A2 bipod was really shitty though

>>21313
It's better than no bipod. I'm sure it was much easier to modify them than come up with an on-the-fly field creation.

Jelly of the MPX and Mauser.

How's the condition on the Mauser by the way? Matching parts, good bore?

>>22842
9mm is all matching except for 2 internal parts and the grips. No stock included, barrel was chopped and replaced with a new one by the previous owner. Dont give a shit about value as I want a shooter.

.30 mauser has matching stock to frame and the rest is mixed but solid. Sadly ammo is hard to find locally.

>>23177
If the 9mm is cut for a stock, I'm pretty sure you should still be able to fit one on it, as the Red 9 pistols were made before 1940 and all C96 Mauser pistols and carbines from then and earlier are exempt from SBR classification (as long as the stock is original or a fitting replica, and replicas are easy to find).

>Dont give a shit about value as I want a shooter
Fair enough, I don't think I'd be all that concerned about parts matching as long as the condition is nice and I can shoot it. I've always wanted a Luger or two, and I could definitely settle for a refurbished "mix-master" pistol.

>Sadly ammo is hard to find locally
That's an issue with 7.63mm, but if you're into handloading, you can roll your own, using 7.62mm Tokarev casings, as long as you use the appropriate bullet and powder load, it's worth considering in general as handloading can bring down cost of shooting for a lot of calibers (as an example, a creative handloader can shoot .300BLK as cheap as generic FMJ .223 if they put in the effort, I've seen some crazy low cost handloading)

I've always wondered a bit about the P30, how's the magazine capacity on the 9mm and .40S&W ones?

>>27481
15/13. Good enough for me.

>>28345
Well, anything more than 5 puts one ahead of a snub I suppose.

Has MecGar made higher capacity magazines for the P30 yet? They made some for the old 5900 series pistols (the all steel boat anchors) which fit 17rds flush, quite an upgrade from just 14rds, I'm thinking the way they do magazines should work for the H&K pistols as well.

Saw this on /k/ yesterday, it's the new IWI Galil ACE, it turns out that if you take off the plastic "lower" from the receiver, it still has that old-fashioned slant to it like the original Galil rifles, you would just have to add a trigger-guard and new pistol grip.

I think it looks really nice with the new top-rail and sights of the ACE.
