Whats everyones experience with buying guns, ammo, other sporting goods, hunting gear, reloading equipment.How do they compare to Cabelas, BassPro, and Sportsmans Warehouse. And Gander Mountain? I do love their price match, was able to get them to price match with gunmagwarehouse on gen 3 pmags.
>>64635649I bought a full Inox Beretta 92FS from one for $399, they have decent used gun prices but obviously selection is limited. Ammo prices are good and they're often doing rebates on stuff. They're solid and they have some higher end gear compared to your average sporting goods store, can find Arc'teryx, Patagonia, etc there. They have very good prices on Harris and Atlas bipods as well.
>>64638949>>64638960So this store is offically /k/ approved.
>>64639121It’s decent to good. They are good to very good for hunting stuff and sports.

What the hell is a Scheel's? is it a Northern thing? I don't think we have any in NC unless I am mistaken. Bass Pro fucking sucks, Dick's stopped carrying guns a while ago, we don't even have any big gun retailers it's all local shops or Cabela's/Academy. But Academy has weird policies like they check ID for buying pistol ammo and keep trigger locks on the guns constantly.

Has PTR gone to the shitter? Does anyone make a decent g3 clone, or am I gonna have to go to a custom builder?
>>64640684No, people have simply convinced themselves that a G3 is a better rifle than it is in reality and have unfounded expectations.

Will a carbon steel firing pin break or should it be ok? We had one break and are getting it recreated using a CNC milling machine, they are going to scan the dimensions of the pin perfectly and cut a new one out a block of metal. Just don’t want it to happen again$130 per pin he’s quoted me, and $80 for the scanning job. So $210 all up for one - or he said he will make x10 for $530 and waive the scan fee.Im thinking just get one to try it first and if it’s good I’ll get a few spares made up
>>64637620The specific alloy of steel and heat treat are the most critical part of longevity. You have any idea of the original's steel+HT? There's places that knifemakers and whatnot send parts to for heat treat so maybe you can ride that option if you don't feel confident about DIYing the HT.
>>64639706>O1 is basically what Win and others have used for the past 150 yearsI find that hard to believe, for one because O1 hasn't even really been around for 150 years, and also because it's just better suited for things like drill bits, not impact parts.And you can get 6" long, 3/8" diameter hardened 4140 rod from McMaster for ~$3 and not even have to worry about heat treating or deformation.
>>64640556You tried machining a pre-hard rod? Uniform hardness is also not a good thing for a firing pin.
>>64640573>Uniform hardness is also not a good thing for a firing pin.It doesn't really matter if its toughness is high enough.
>>64639701You'd need an optical comparator to get the scallop right, but it probably doesn't matter much>>64637617>>64637620A non heat treated firing pin will not last long at all. Mil spec calls out for 8640 with a salt bath heat, salt bath quench, and air cooling.You should look at a 17-4PH pin heat treated up to H900 (hold at 900°F for an hour, air cool), and that's going to get you RC ~45. You'll find rod stock on Mcmaster for cheap.You could go up in case hardness (HRC 55+) with nitriding, but it depends on your needs.
How would an european army look like? Which weapons, vehicles, gear and doctrine would they use? And how would their logistic chain and administration work?
>>64639143This, but with more drones, air ground and sea. Our space capability is also poor compared to USA, and even China.Sincerely, a finn. Also we have no native stealth fighters, which is going make our conventional airforce incapable of capturing airspace, just like Ukraine nor Russia have during the Ukraine war. We need to work with that, or whatever consitutes as we in the near future, given that current EU is probably not going to exist and has to be reformed, which I believe going to require dissolution in order to reform.I see a possibility, that if there is an EU dissoultion, some EU countries will form their own US friendly block and is going to buy mostly US made equipment for a long time.
>>64640714NTA, but space launch and air assets are being developed be European companies.It'S not LockMart and SpaceX, but it'S actual private industry unlike what China is doing. Should EU and national money be used to invest in these companies? Yes. But we've spent thirty years snoozing, it wil take another few years.the ammunition and drone production show that we can get shit done. Which surprised a lot of people, but here we are.
>>64640683Europe has already massive military capability. Europe is substantially less divided than the current day USA in my opinion but I'm sure your view will differ.
>>64640757>Europe has already massive military capability.If that were true they wouldn't have military aid to Ukraine on par with a single country that has half their population. Unless of course Europe just doesn't care about Ukraine and is willing to leave their own to fend for themselves.
>>64640670I agree, ziggers and the unreliable nature of the USA should unite Europe>>64640672Gynocentric eurocrats are united by liberalism not a united idea of race and volk, against a communist zigger horde. It only works when they're far right and want Europe to be White and don't import browns

Looks really ugly. Why doesnt the rail go to the front of the slide anymre?
>>64639880>going to the range even once a month and shooting 150-200 roundsWhy would you do this? You go to a noob range which is just a weapons testing line. They don't let you move or draw from the holster, use sling methods, etc. That's not training. You don't even need to fire any rounds to train, you're telling me you have no formal training to set a slate for what you do at the noob weapons testing line you go to, then you just shit thousands of rounds down the drain? Fucking hobbyists man, what a waste.>>64640357Gen 6 and they stil have a proprietary rail lmao. Glock is a failed experiment.
>>64639880Don't respond to that retard, he doesn't own any guns.
>>64640704lots of people on /k/ think going to an indoor standing slow fire range and dumping 400 rounds on a single target is "training"
Explore /k/If you were in the game of thrones universe how would you explore and where would you explore? What type of men would you bring and what type of weapons would you bring? And what would you doMe I'm going to mossovoy or the faaar east near ulthos, perhaps setting up outposts for drone and exploring ulthos to learn more
>>64637331I always wondered how Robert's tax policy would compare to Aragorn's.
>>64637095It's just a retarded subversion of classical fantasy tropes.The shining knights in armor (the Lannisters) are actually assholes and pretty much the closest thing to the bad guys. The werewolves (Starks) are noble but they die like fools because they were too pure for this world (unlike in classical fantasy, being honorable doesn't pay off in ASOIAF). The rightful heir lives in a dark gloomy castle with constant storms and is counseled by a witch. The other arguably rightful heir has dragons for a sigil (symbol of evil, in traditional fantasy).And of course no-one is actually a good person because we need to pile up more subversion on top so the life of the peasants is even worse than IRL peasants in the Middle Ages and the death toll of wars is dialed up to 11. (In reality wars in the Middle Ages had small armies and thus small death tolls, with exceptions)So:Subversion of fantasy tropes (good is bad, bad is good)+Ripoff of traditional history (The Anarchy and the War of the Roses)+ More subversion on top of the subversion (actually nobody was good, the system is shit and honorable people are fools)Is it entertaining?

How would you rate his stance, weapon of choise and aim?
>>64637864>>64638090This. There's a hierarchy among them, like younger can't live above elderly gypsy in an apartment block, there's feud's between families and some family lines are banned to enter into towns where certain families live, and every town/area has a gypsy king, that's like the godfather. Gypsies are like the la cosa nostra of Finland. A menace. A menace that always is packin' heat. Collector's items mostly. And that's why we can't have nice things.

>>64639470Small ring mausers (most guns in 7mmx57 or 6.5x55) have poorer gas handling characteristics and they also lack the safety lug of the large ring, 03, P-14 or modern commercial actions. Basically they are more dangerous to be holding if you make a woopsy.
they’re basically the same thing and the differences will be found in autistic minutiae.>Caliber difference of like 4 human hairs>Imperceptible difference in ogive length>Action length difference of like 3mm>~5-10% difference in sectional energyI guess let’s say the Mauser cause I’m biased towards CETME style cartridges and that gets closer. It’s got a longer, wider, finer bullet and a lower overbore ratio.
>>64637995Ballistics-wise, casual faggot.
>>64639470>6.5x55?Europeans do load those to higher pressures. You'll occasionally run into a hunter with a custom gun and loads that are not safe for the old world war rifles. 7mm Mauser on the other hand, while it's a great cartridge, it ended up being completely overshadowed by 8mm Mauser. All the poors in the old world used 8mm as much as we Americans used 30-06.
>>64638018Lol, .243 is better than 6mm. What a moron.
in the new upcoming Resident Evil game, Leon seems to carry a hatchet instead of his usual knife, which seems like an obvious choice, more range, more power behind the strikes, you just lose a bit of precision.
if I had an unlimited budget, I would like an all-metal halberd with a titanium shaft and some kind of superalloy blade shaped like this
>>64633940Boar spear seems like an obvious pick.
>>64638312>wakizashicame here to postextensive research performed in Dead Island let me to such conclusions
>>64637722Change the length of the haft. Halberds would be ideal because you can chop at a distance but still use the pointy end to keep them at bay. Something between 6' and 8' could even be handled in a hallway if you choke up.>>64639377That was my first thought, but stabbing weapons don't seem like they would be as effective against zombies.
