Pistol related but last question thread died a while ago. Are all 1911 .45 barrels interchangeable with all other 1911 models? I've got a Kimber and want a threaded barrel for it and I'm wondering if I should just get a Kimber barrel for it.
>>64688425You'd have to time everything and that would make it more complicated and annoying. Threads aren't the same on every gun. It could index properly on Glock 1 then be off on Glock 2. It's possible but not worth the effort.
What's the CMMG Dissent, why is everyone obsessesd with it, and why shouldn't I use a Triad chassis to turn it into a bullpup?
>>646884731. Bufferless AR = cool factor2. No, buy an AUG
I bought a stripped 1911 slide with novak sights off Sarco for $150 to put on my tisas. I'm planning on reusing my tisas slide guts. How likely is it I'm going to have to handfit the barrel hood and possibly even the drop link?I believe Sarco's stripped parts are all RIA/Armscor. I might just return it and buy the tisas analog "tactical slide" for $260
>>64688478I already have an AUG. I'm looking for guns that I can't find at the local Fuddstore. Yes, I have disposable income and no longer know what I'm doing with my life so I guess it's collecting guns now.

>>64679093https://youtu.be/UOrSHb_TSH4IDK, but 6" seems to be a sweet spot for factory loads. You could have a pretty good time developing loads that suit the gun you want/have.
>>64685199>will max loads with mid-slow burning pistol powder cause more wear and forcing cone erosion than a full case of magnum powder?So, I'm not super up on the international ballistics of revolver cartridges, but if they are anything like bolt guns, your main enemy is chamber pressure, which basically equivalents to heat.That being said, my GUESS would be that a slower burning powder would reduce max pressure and therefore heat at the forcing cone and distribute it more evenly along the length of the barrel. On the other hand, a life of studying physics and engineering has taught me that things make sense until you realize there is something you haven't considered. The unknown unknown, as we call it, so I would be interested to hear a more experienced, or lacking that, educated answer.
>>64688198>international ballisticsKMFS
>>64688198You’ve got it pretty much exactly backwards. H110 is considered a slow powder for pistols. it’s extremely powerful for what it does though and works great in magnum revolver loads. But it’s still burning as it passes the forcing cone which can cause erosion. If your really worried about erosion on the forcing cone you load fast burning powder with heavier projectiles loaded to slower velocities. Lighter projectiles are gonna require more powder and end up with more gas escaping past the forcing cone…. Heavy and slow is about the best you can do… but honestly unless you have a very old or poorly made revolver, or your running constant nuclear hot loads then your not all that likely to run into forcing cone erosion..

you are telling the Americans had cool looking AR battle rifle with wooden furniture that shoots big bollets and they decided to adopt the shitter version that shoots smaller bollets. were the Americans retarded?
There's not enough reason to pick it over the M14.Only argument would be reduced muzzle climb, which the e2 did basically that.

I used to intern with a Class II FFL precision rifle builder who also manufactured some NFA items and no joke, you can literally make a good quality (albeit rough finished) suppressor for under $100 provided you have a lathe. You can make even cheaper wipe suppressors for close to $50 out of pipe tubing you find on amazon. I remember watching this video by an American volunteer in the Ukrainian International Legion who talk about a company in the Czech Republic that sold suppressors for the Bren 2 that cost $125 so clearly it doesn't cost that much to make them yet I'm having a hard time finding anyone selling even shitty .22lr whip suppressors for under $500. Certainly with the NFA tax going away you'd think there'd be a market for cheap suppressors in the US right?

Hey anons, I’ve started getting interested in weapons, militaria, and artillery. But I have no idea how to study or research this topic. Does any anon know or have resources for that? I always look at /k/ threads, or some messages in militaria channels on Telegram, and I get completely jealous of people’s knowledge. They can identify weapons by name, know about calibers, understand military history, etc… I wish I could have the background to join those conversations.
>>64687976Concept starts with a name. Saw some weapon in movie and games? Imfdb the media.Read document, put new names in notes.Search database again with those names, note down the new document if can't finish in one sitting.Analysis detail by asking question about how these concepts are linked in the component and big picture, before and after. Do it a few time, realize there is too much to read and the rest feel like a grind.order and map the notes to organize what you have.Distill patterns and principles as you realize they are just different appreances of the same thing, different combination of the same building blocksAsking more basic and fundamental questions like a designer would, if you are the engineer type. Ultimately like the notes we make, something has to be done with the new knowledge, mostly an advantage for a competition prize and a role to be fulfilled.Database you can use are dtic, internet archive, science journal, then google and library search. Im too weak to dig through national archive.The document include field manual, handbook, report, memoir\vignette, some autist's blog and some cadet's thesis who tries to graduate academy. Don't read stuff from an active military staff, all garbage of the month.Hopefully you don't end up as pdf horder like me.
>>64688029>>64687980thanks.>>64688029>maybe your time is better spent elsewhere.Thanks for the advice, but honestly, I just like the subject. I don't think I need a purpose or anything like that. I just have an interest in militaria and want to learn more.>The other point is that there is just too much - an aircraft weeb and a navy weeb won't necessarily have much overlap with a tacticool and a HAM weeb or range weeb with a HEMA weeb, etc. Decide your weeb class.I want to be a jack-of-all-trades weeb :D
>>64688326What stupid questions do you have now OP? Honestly asking stupid questions is how you learn.Why does a heli kill a tank?Why does an IFV get killed by a tank, but the Bradley sometimes doesn't?Why did the Tomcat get discontinued?Why do you still need ground troops when drones win wars?
>>64688213Thank you for the text, it was very informative. I will take notes. What did you mean by 'Hopefully you don't end up as a PDF hoarder like me.'?
>>64688382It takes minutes to recognize the value of a text book, download and flip through, days to plain read hundred page, and more to take notes and do practices. After all it takes half a year of 5 hrs a week to finish a book when your parent paid money for someone to nag you into finishing. The powerful feeling of getting a valuable book that feels like would answer your problem deminishes when actually invest time reading it as you don't actually have a problem at hand or would take on the problem. Retard like me just keep adding more book to the harddrive for that hit of rush.

>heavy? just lift some weights bro
>>64687185So weird to see the US going the way of heavy rifles with less ammo capacity when everything I’ve seen from Ukrainian and Russian sources says that lighter rifles with a shit ton of ammo is what you want for close combat in a drone saturated environment. From what I gather appeared to pure war all your long range combat is mostly done by artillery and drones in the 21st-century. Long range engagements between infantry units are very rare. The Azov international guys say that assaulters are carrying upwards of 17 mags per guy. A Ukrainian recon guy I talk to said it’s not uncommon that guys will expend about 400 rounds during a hot mission. That’s about 13 mags of 5.56 and 20 mags of 7.62/6.8mm. Somebody who knows the weight of that shit do the math but it’s obvious which one weighs more.> but what about owning camel jockeys in the desert?I’m sure it’s a great rifle for shooting at desert dwelling sheep herders who don’t even know how to properly aim an AK but is it really the best rifle for pier-to-pier infantry land war when actual professionals doing the hard-core fighting say otherwise?
A 12lb AR would have a thermal one it and carry more ammo. Smash/smart scope+specialized ammo would do everything NGSW does.
Remove the optics and the suppressor.
>>64687185A guy on one of the precision shooting youtubes was saying that "pushups are free" regarding lumping an AR-10 out for mountain elk. Twelve pounds of rifle gets real heavy after some miles.
>>64688113And that might be fine for a guy hunting in the woods with about 30 pounds worth of gear, but the modern soldier is carrying close to 100 pounds of gear. I wonder if that same guy has tried hunting elk in full combat kit with a three days pack worth of supplies while huffing an AR-15 and still thinks that push-ups are free.
