How do you find hunting frens to go hunt with?
I've never hunted and IDK anyone who does. I was able to make friends playing slow pitch and we drink after the games and shit, but idk if there's some kind of org or something to go find hunting groups
pic semi related, it's from a nip video where they had some American guy (I think? he had the generic White person who has lived in japan for too long accent) who was part of some hunting club in japan and other than the gay ass nip laws it looked KINO. they all went hunting together and then had a barbeque

>Apparently, not much.
The main reasons why free-floating wooden stocks are a thing in hunting contexts is that (1) they're now cheaper and easier to manufacture than bedded stocks because CNC go brrr and (2) wooden stocks can very subtly change dimensions with ambient heat and humidity conditions and this means that the barrel can impinge in different ways on the barrel and therefore modify your point of impact. One of the reasons that walnut has historically been so preferred as a stocking material is that it deforms less than virtually any other common wood.

Still though, this is entirely academic for hunting contexts unless you're dealing with a real lemon (like a bubba special) or if your rifle somehow gets soaked in water, at which point ya dun goofed and you should have just gone with a synthetic stock to idiot-proof it from yourself.

They don't. A parish is a geographical area. It might also be used as a metaphor for related concepts like the people who attend that church, but it's wouldn't ever mean the church itself.

The Entente developed CAS doctrine during the war and troops were trained in directing CAS by using marker panels or flares to direct aircraft on station. This rarely worked out in the field because ground troops had to expose themselves to incoming fire in order to get the markers set up. During the battle of montfaucon US pilots tried to incentivize ground troops to direct them on target by throwing candy out at them when they made their attack passes on enemy positions. The US also developed a two-way radio that fit inside an aircraft or balloon that allowed plain speech transmission between both the crew and a ground receiver, but most pilots were untrained on it and would miss messages because they had the radio set to intercom mode to talk to each other and couldn't pick up the incoming traffic. The ground receivers were also bulky and hard to set up so they stayed behind the lines.

This is a weapons (/k/) thread, not a politics (/pol/) thread. This thread is for discussing weapons used in the American Civil War from 1861-1865, it is not for discussing the politics behind the war, slavery, morality, rights, so on.

With that out of the way, feel free to talk about anything from cannons to bayonets!

Would you prefer spring locks for your barrel bands, or screws? I'd personally think screws are the better option but Hickok45 (Officially approved /k/ e-celeb) who has personally fired both the M1861 and the P53 describes the screw locked bands as jumpy and loose, this could of course be attributed to the quality of production (and it's over 160 years old), but without firing one myself it's hard to tell.

Took the piece to a local gunsmith, and whaddya know:
a good inch or so of steel has been essentially ripped off from the inner "neck" of the barrel, right where the rifling starts. Meaning the bullet doesn't seal properly, resulting to plummeted accuracy + obvious risks.

To be fair, the gun is around 40 years old, and I've pushed insane amounts of dirty as fuck Commie surplus shit through its pipe for many, many years, so this didn't exactly come as a huge surprise.

Samaan hintaan löytyy myös Joensuun SAR'ilta ja toisesta lafkasta joka ei nyt välittömästi muistu mieleen. Toimareista, nettiaseesta tai ihan vain torista saa varmasti vielä halvemmalla. Hinnat on noussut huomattavasti, mutta ei tuo MPS ikinä ole mikään investointi-tier arvoase ollut vrt. Sako M92S. Jos kuitenkin päätyt vaihdattamaan piipun jollakin ak-tietäjällä niin muista pätkäistä piippu normimittoihin samalla niin ei näytä niin typerältä, oikeinpituisen tukin löytyminen taas saattaa olla hankalaa.

Breddy nice,
But like said, I'm not trashing my oldschool gun and with it the licenses. Not to mention just applying for a new license is like 150€ this day and age, which is insanity.

And yes, I've been considering that 19" -> 16" barrel conversion while at it. Maybe even 14.5 + gasblock front sights for extra tacticool + easier time with suppressors.

I actually already own a regular stumpy AK buttstock, but I for one actually prefer the extra length of pull the "NATO length" gives.

No, you cannot use or possess high-capacity ERVA magazines for a newly purchased Category B weapon, unless you have a specific license endorsement or permit that explicitly covers that magazine, for that specific firearm.

I like the idea of .327 magnum, being able to handle a pretty potent magnum round, using a lighter but still effective h&r magnum, or using a .32 long for basically 0 recoil all in one gun. Sadly its not very available aside from the odd ruger run
>>
>>65553803
John Browning created the .25acp as a .22lr replacement because derringers were popular. .25acp, .32acp, and .380 were all modernizations of existing revolver cartridges.

.22LR is lethal. .25acp moreso. However pistols aren't rifles and it is wise to use both judicious accuracy and generous volumes of fire to ensure that a threat is neutralized.
>>
>>65554668
How often in a self defense situation does the aggressor wear body armor? Sure, it has happened, but it invalidates most pistols and while head and groin shots are the answer, you're probably shooting center mass anyways because it is uncertain information and you can still injure hands and arms and hope to hit CNS or hit what wasn't covered like through an armpit or neck.

Depends on the situation. Cops no-knocking the wrong house, without announcing themselves, are apparently legally home invaders and almost always wear armor. And yes, you can get off if you win the shootout.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/maryland-police-shot-prince-georges-county-entering-wrong-home-search-warrant/
>Two Maryland police officers were shot while serving a drug-related search warrant at the wrong apartment late Wednesday, according to law enforcement officials. The (chad) man shot the (virgin) officers as soon as they opened the door, thinking they were home invaders, authorities said. No criminal charges will be filed against the man.

Active shooters also wear armor. Buffalo shooter had III+ plates from RMA. RMA sucks but their plates are more than enough versus any reasonable pistol threat. There are other suspect cases where home invaders run away after being shot and there's no blood or bullet holes (concealed vest?). Armor is cheap. Really cheap. Even IIA will cut it and is thin / easy to conceal.
>but it invalidates most pistols
Soft vests aren't plates. Buffalo asshole's RMA 1093s no sold the security guard's 9mm because they were good for M855 and M80, either of which will pierce good IIIA seven times over. You can still cause behind armor blunt trauma even with non-penetrating hits. Won't kill but will have some (sometimes...) effect. Not reliable though, because that's mostly psychological and also depends on the quality and level of the armor versus what you're packing. It's better to pierce.
Liberty Civil will pierce basic cheap IIIA outright. Special panels will stop it.
>you're probably shooting center mass anyways because it is uncertain information and you can still injure hands and arms
Score one for a shotgun. Home invaders aren't going to be rolling full Ukraine style with extremity IIIA, full torso soft, face armor, and helmets.

Extremely brilliant and correct low-IQ take.

Autonomous and semi-autonomous remote turrets are the answer and should be mounted on most military vehicles. UGVs have proven themselves as effective in both logistic and combat roles. While human vehicles don't need auto-drive (although they should), they do need automated turrets to identify targets and fire accurate lead and ranged shots.
