I went to the Muncie gun show was not bad, they had a few guns some nice handguns kind of cheap 9 mm Sw for $250 with two mags I was going to buy it but I saw a rifle I wanted but the guy wouldn't come down in price. Ended up buying nothing and then a bunch of stoned black kids showed up and a black dude with a large scar on his face who was trying to buy a whole bunch of ARS and pistol variants. I might go back tomorrow just to see if someone's willing to make a deal I don't have much money

I'm hoping tomorrow they're going to be more receptive, I've come down to three guns one was a small Ruger handgun 380 the other was the SKS and the last one if everything fails is a hi point carbine that I hopefully can get for maybe 200 bucks since it's missing the front sights

The scar has been successful, its the service rifle of several countries and is used by a lot of euro cops and the SOF of some thirdie militarys. Its kind of like the Tavor or Galil ace, where people think they were failures because they lack significant presence on the US market, but theyre quietly used by half the third world.

>The scar has been successful, its the service rifle of several countries
Came to dunk on the several claim, but it's spot on. Less than 70k between all of those users though with Thailand possessing more Tavors alone. Seems like a poorly received rifle overall just like the FS2000
>>
>>64768042
Considering it was made exclusively for Socom, that's a massive success. The F2000s was their "service rifle" in their product line, and it was a total failure; while the SCAR was a side project only costed to sell maybe 10k total. Its paid for itself with just one or two of its customers.

you fundamentally dont understand how forums work, 4chan is a type of forum called an imageboard.

Forums are centralized around a specific topic (usually), 4chan is an imageboard based around Anime and Japanese Culture for english speaking people. images of, references to, discussion of, and liking anime/Japan is the point of the website, all other boards are subject to this. Every board is for those who like anime/Japan

If you have a weapons board on the anime website it is a weapons board for those who like anime, if you have a fitness board on the anime website it is a fitness board for those who like anime, if you have a car board on the anime website its for those who like cars and anime.
If you go onto the anime website and start talking about star wars on the anime forum without making it about anime you're not welcome, just how if I went to a star wars forum and started posting shit about anime unannounced.

If you do not like anime and want to talk about guns I have the perfect place for you, Picrel.

Also Mossberg is a garbage brand so not even sure why you're comparing them to CZ or Savage. They only have their shotguns which are 1:1 copies of old expired Remington patents, which were allowed to expire because they were inferior designs which break or fail easily. Non captive shell stops coupled with a wobbly ass pump bar is bad news. But this board loves cheap hot garbage and not actually knowing shit.

The M60 copies the bolt and piston from the FG42, and then the feed cover from the MG42.
The original proof of concept was outright a modified FG42 with the belt feed from an MG42 added to it, but they weren't gonna do literally that, they were gonna redo it from the ground up and in a new cartridge.

>>64767838
Stg44 has a long-stroke piston, but otherwise you're correct. The Stg44 copies the piston and bolt from the Czech Zb.26 machinegun, like very closely.

The AK copies the rotating bolt from the Garand, and the long-stroke piston from the 1918 BAR, and that's by Kalashnikov's own words. He never mentioned the Remington Model 8, but the double hook sear and braided wire in the fire controls are extremely similar (same double hook sear is also seen in the Garand and its descendants), but the manual safety on the Remington rifle doubling as a dust cover behind the charging handle is conceptually identical, so either Kalashnikov copied that and didn't mention it (or forgot), or it was one of his assistants providing that aspect.

Kalashnikov denies the Stg44 influencing him, and maybe that's actually true, or maybe it isn't, but the resulting AK is highly structurally and mechanically dissimilar to the Stg44.
The closest direct descendant which the Stg44 has was a rifle submitted to East German trials, and which was straight up the Stg44 design but in 7.62x39mm, using 20rd mags, and featuring a 3rd burst setting.
>>
>>64767954
The Model 8 connection is something I've wondered at for a long time, especially now that I have one to compare to my AKs. I can't figure out how anyone involved with the AK would have seen one since Russia never bought any in WW1 like the French did. The FN 1900 was around, but less than 5000 of those were ever made and I doubt any could have been sent to Russia after 1914, leaving only 4 years in which one could have arrived.

Smaller vs larger ejection port cuts on a 1911
>>
>>64765755
Weakened in a meaningful way? No.
>>
>>64765921
You are most likely right. And with modern metallurgy and some fancy nancy alloy, the slide with the larger ejection port is probably still more rigid than the old one made from some inferior alloy.
But if someone is using Bobbas pissing hot hand loads™ at the end of this slides life span, it will most likely crack at this exact spot.
Fun fact. That's the spot where some pistols of the first version of the P8 (Germanys version of the HK USP) cracked. And this was a gun that was designed around the .40 S&W while only shooting some 9mm FMJ +P. Wikipedia says that it was due to pressure spikes in the ammo. I've heard another story from someone. Let's call him swim and he just made it up and he definitively never looked into confidetial records.
Story goes something like this. After training and before putting the weapons back into the armory the soldiers usually oil the barrel and chamber to prevent rust. Now before going to the range they should run a couple of cleaning wicks through the barrel to get it dry again.
If the barrel and chamber are still oily it would greatly reduce the friction of the empty case in the chamber during opening. Resulting in a faster recoiling slide and a drasticly reduced life span of the gun. My memory might be wrong on this one, but we are talking about <1000rds for a gun that should have a life span of >10.000rds.
>>
>>64765755
As anon writes, I believe it is primarily done to make ejection more reliable.

>>64765921
As anon here mentions though, it probably does not change the durability of the slide. I cant speak for all 1911s but Colt makes the slide out of a pretty thick piece steel. Slide cracking was an issue on CZ-52 and TT-33 but that was mostly due to poor metallurgy and manufacturing and overall design. Even then most TT-33 pistols will last probably 8-10k before this happens.

Newly produced 1911 will definitely be more durable anyway due to improvements in metallurgy and manufacturing.

I like to check the recoil spring strength on surplus pistols and replace them if needed and not using too much +P ammo.

The recoil spring part is important as that is the part that minimises the impact of the slide slamming into the frame of the gun when firing. Weak spring could cause the slide to crack eventually.
>>
Slides were not hardened the same way back in the day. A flared ejection port will have ZERO effect on longevity now.

The frame is way more likely to crack near the safety/slide stop plunger.

Okay, but the original reference to the StuG was to assault guns. Just because it spent much of the war as a ghetto tank destroyer doesn't negate the fact that it was conceived and built as an assault gun. Nor does it negate the fact that the StuG is probably one of, if not the, most recognizable and iconic assault gun.
