Resistance Surp Edition

Post what you want as long as its Halal.

FAQ
>What's a milsurp.
Military Surplus is a catch all term for all ex-military equipment that is retired from service and sold to civilians. Most of the milsurp discussed here are pre-select fire infantry arms, but feel free to try to talk about whatever.

>What's a good cheap surplus rifle to buy.
Spanish, South American, Yugo Mausers
Arisakas
Carcanos

>How much should I pay for X?
Extremely common question that may get ignored so instead go on Gunbroker and search for completed auctions to get a good general price range.

What's up, gamers?
I'm working on curating and annotating a dataset of gun serial numbers, with the ultimate goal of fine-tuning an OCR model on reading those serial numbers.

If you own guns and are willing to contribute, could you consider snapping a few pics of them with the serial number visible?

I see so many posts where they're blanked out, which isn't helpful. I'll delete all the images after I'm done with training.

I was talking to an officer recruiter but now with recent events I'm scared my officer recruiter called me left a voice mail but I haven't answered back, I just wanted to do a 4 year contract for job experience and to get out and get a nice corporate job. The only thing that would make me press forward with my commission is do JO's drown in Black queen poon? I love Black woman and really my main reason for wanting to commission is to find a nice Black Queen to marry who is also in the military. Also what officer job is least likely to see combat?
>>
>>62899238
>and second dont you need 90 credits to commission?

In my experience at National Guard OCS, you can start and complete OCS with 90 credits, but they won't actually let you pin until you finish your degree. However I've also read that you can commission with 90 credits, but you just aren't promotable either to 1LT.

Idk though, and your experience may vary. I'd just get the whole degree instead of trying to find a shortcut because only doing 90 credits is shortsighted, and you'd be better off doing OCS without having to worry about school because being an officer is actually quite a lot of work despite what some enlisted might think.

what's the likelihood of ending up strategic vs tactical? i'd much rather sit at a desk. try and get an option 19 for fort meade?

what's your experience been like? why'd you go for 35N?
>>
>>62900308
If you want a certain duty station, sign an option 19. Meade is good (but kind of a high pressure environment depending on the shop), Hawaii is good (but expensive), Texas and Georgia are probably both good but I've never been to either. I think around 2/3 of fresh AIT grads go strategic but it's entirely dependent on what Big Army needs at the time.
In my experience, every position you fill will be its own job, so to speak - every time you change shops, duty stations, or billets, you'll have to learn a new skillset and workflow. This can be good, because over time you'll get a chance to work on a wide variety of things and develop a broad skillset (and your chances of escaping a shitty position are better), but it also means some people have shallow experience levels in what they're doing and continuity is difficult.
I chose the job for a couple different reasons: because I wanted to personally ensure the chinese and russians got cucked out of their plans for a multi polar world, because I believed SIGINT would be the main driver of operations in 21st century warfare, and because I figured that if the glownigger world truly was pozzed and ran by the deep state it would be better for good people to join up and change it from the inside than to just doompost about it forever (and to my pleasant surprise most rumors about it have been off the mark so far).

Will be receiving a 2022 model aug at my lgs saturday, and am wondering what some telltale signs of a defective stock are. Also, are the cracking issues overblown?

i want one of these so bad i just dont want to pay 2k for it
>>
>>62896311
This anon is right. I had a 2021 Austrian version which developed a crack at one of the corners of the takedown pin, probably only 1K rounds down range. I sent it back to SteyrUSA and they sent me a new stock, I had a few aftermarket items like shell deflector, mag release and charging handle that they swapped over for me, I talked with them first about it. The new stock had rounded corners instead of square ones around the take-down pin, literally looks like someone pushed a drill press or Dremel in at each corner: almost like how you'd relief cracking in automotive glass.

Couple thousand rounds later no issues. Who knows if it'll come back but you should be able to tell if you're good by seeing the corners around the takedown pin, if they're rounded you're probably good to go, if it's square and you bot from the affect date ranges you might wanna give them a call before it happens to you.
>>
I believe the issue was basically a hoax from day one. Just another commercially motivated shill campaign like the glocknade. Most of the evidence was pre production test models and grunts who tried to use their rifle as a club, or who had a squib.

Trying to undermine infantry confidence in the standard service rifle has been a fixture of enemy properganda since the bronze age.

You shouldn't be chasing for spec values but they do exist and if you wanted to know what "better spec" values are there's a way to know which unit is desirable over another.
Most retailers won't post this info as they build NVDs to order, first come first serve, and depending on their grading scale of high, mid, low tier it may differ from retailers. If a retailer offer a “ready to ship” fully built units they will list the spec values. Hand select is an option from retailers that will try to match to your spec requirements.

new to the NVG thing, its just a NV reflex optic I have. I jsut want to be able to illuminate further targets. I haven't seen any ir lights that arent gigantic, was looking at doing a tube offest mount with the goonbeam that was suggested eariler plus one of the many white lights I have on the other side. Do you know of a dedicated IR only light?

I guess I'm also differentiating between a laser and a light/illuminator, which some manufacturers seem to use interchangeably. I don't really need a laser, I'm not marking targets in a team setting.

Fortunately most juries seem to understand that it's the use of lethal force and whether it's justified which counts. ARs, except in the minds of people who think they're as heavy as ten boxes, do not constitute some kind of stratospheric "extra-lethal" force category that requires extra justification.
