I became very intrigued by the idea of crazy sharp edges after watching this scene from the movie “Drive”. That is what got me started with my whetstone/sharpening hobby. https://youtu.be/SS-bO_xxCbQ?si=C2edudWcsQWeBjkv
>>65098853if you wanna be delusional sure. its obvious to everyone whose not you what this is and its really pathetic. wonder how long the bans going to be for this call out.
>>65098865Maybe, if it's been properly sharpened, but not everyone knows how to sharpen a straight razor. >even after they've been told how to sharpen a straight razor
>>65091272>>65091164We should take a moment to remember that most people don't sharpen their own knives and have never attempted to develop any skill at doing so. We should also observe a moment of silence to morn the loss of practical skills in our modern age.
>>65100179>We should also observe a moment of silence to morn the loss of practical skills in our modern age.In past age blade sharpener was literally a profession. And they used gay wheel grinders.
>>65096106>>65098853Yep, thought so.
Does anyone make smooth, relatively featureless suppressors without a retarded naming convention these days? It's never been easier to manufacture and register NFA items and somehow it seems like no one is even trying to fill the retro niche. I do not want a "badass" rollmark. I do not want it ribbed for my pleasure. I do not want it to say "whisper pickle ass bandit dead air jonkler water trash panda" on my can. Any good reccs?
SOS out of Arizona. It's just a chunk of shit that works and is robust.
>>65095789Sure, if you have a week to spare to get that shitty thing running.But before we put in all that effort, explain to us what kind of supressor you would actually build at home and what it's insides look like.Because I'm pretty sure the lathe is not getting us all the way there.
>>65095681Allen Engineering makes the AEM5 in 5,56 and 7,62 while Otter Creek makes the OCM5 in 5,56. I'm quite fond of mine.
>buy whatever suppressor you want>buy some thin walled aluminum or stainless tubing of the correct ID>cut to fitWould this not work? You'd have to make it removable I'm sure, so as not to conceal the serial permanently
>>65101578>Would this not work?Yes that would work fine.>You'd have to make it removable I'm sure, so as not to conceal the serial permanentlyYou'd almost certainly want to do so anyway in case you ever had a baffle strike or something and needed warranty repair. Another approach would be to do a sort of shroud thing, attach your tube to a bit of pick rail and some extension and then just have it hang off the front of your handguard encapsulating the can. There are some companies making products like that, basically as an alternative to the traditional suppressor wrap. Usually they're carbon fiber or poly in the case though with venting on the bottom, part of the point is to prevent heat mirage once the can gets hot while still giving it better cooling then a wrap would.But if OP wants the look of an "exposed, featureless" can for cool/nostalgia reasons nothing wrong with that. He's probably better just getting a can like that, but what you describe would work if he couldn't find one with other features he wanted.

>>65101419I shot off a message to Atlantic asking them to clarify their meaning in the item description (Can I legally make this a full auto rifle as the time description says?) And they sidestepped this in the response by saying to contact the ATF. Rather than just openly saying no, because no is the correct answer, they handed off responsibility back to the customer to contact the ATF. They are being extremely weird about the kit, IMO.

Modern weapons are brutal
All weapons are brutal, I'll take a rifle round to the head over dying of infection 2 weeks after taking an arrow to the gut.
In terms of their destructive power against the human body, the large-caliber ammunition used in later muskets and early rifles was also considered problematic.
what sight is on the rifle? jewgle isn't helping like it used to
>>65096389No it's not. It does weigh more (extra material) but it isn't "cuck shit", it's a more rigid design and that's pretty much the entire point. It isn't very useful for anything other than precision shooting though, and pistol grip + stock is an easier combo to manufacture and repair.>>65096393It isn't supposed to be. The reinforcement is in an area that your fingers shouldn't cover with proper technique. It doesn't appreciably differ from a normal stock in any way that would make it significantly worse for an infantry rifle, you're fucking retarded. It's just unnecessary.
>>65096361Why did they remove the bolt hold/release?
>>65096389>is it much of a downgradeModifications are almost never straight upgrades or downgrades. They're changes which are better for some things or worse for others. That kind of stock is very popular for target rifles for benchrest competition. They're heavier and you get more contact with the stock when you're shooting off the bench. That's good for accuracy. They have terrible ergos for shooting in field positions though, so if you wanted a fighting rifle you have to shoot quickly and from odd positions this would be more awkward than normal.

>>65096361>>65096362You see this Bethesda? THIS is how you design guns.
The Shahed has RETVRNED to its rightful inventors.
>>65101282Apex seals are literally not a problem. The 13B-MSP in the RX-8 had problems with the side and corner seals due to the location of the exhaust ports. The 13B-RE in the JC Cosmo and 13B-REW in the FD RX-7 mostly just had turbo and vacuum system problems, but where they had engine seal problems, it was mainly with the oil seals. The 13B-DEI in the FC RX-7 and HB Cosmo had problems with the coolant seals. None of these are apex seals. Apex seals were a solved problem by the late 70s, and the only time anyone runs into issues with them is when they try to run thousands of RPM beyond their engine's stock redline and they're too cheap to buy ceramic seals. It's like complaining that the Chevy LS engine is defective because you get valve float when you try to spin a stock motor to 8000 RPM.

>>65097759That's the F4U-4 variant which didn't see combat service until the last few months of World War II.It had the R-2800-18W (water injection) engine; later post-war production -4s, that became famous in Korea, had the R-2800-42W.World War II Corsairs were mostly F4U-1, -1A, and -1D variants.pic related is a factory fresh F4U-4 in flight July 1945 just prior to war's end

Why is MiG-29/35 a commercial failure?
>>65098890I actually don't. It's mostly just been reading random web pages or clicking videos that come up YouTube. So if anyone knows any books, I'd like to know as well. Also been fortunate enough to run into some Anons who had experiences and posted info/corrections in threads.
>>65094905Russian arms exports model is literally Ponzi Scheming vaporware, to fund almost near peer gear in inadequate numbers and capability anyways.
>>65098200They do, but the amount and the level of training required by the maintenance personnel is much lower.Doesn't stop the Indians from endlessly bitching about how hard it is, but they do that for literally everything.Our closest equivalent is the Grippen, which is designed to be maintaned on roads, by conscipts. They even have this really cute tool truck that has all the tools and machines they need to refuel and rearm it.I saw some very rough equivalent for the F35, for operating off of austere runways, but the sortie rate in that situation is, let's say severely questionable.
If Earth was invaded by an alien force, and we could kill them, but it required anti-armor weaponry to kill a basic infantryman of theirs, would humanity have enough anti-armor weapons stockpiled to defend itself reasonably?
>>65100187Where is the downside?
>>65100187I have no idea who that is.
>>65097497>Their creators are stated to have been roughly human sizedThere was a comic about the discovery of the SDF-1 and the first boarding party.I think they explicitly said that the ergonomics are ideally suited to humans.
>>65101310It's both, because they also find some zentradi corpses, and that's what prompts the invention of the valkyries. U.N. needed something that could fight them man to man, but that could also get from place to place fast to make up for what it was assumed would be a massive numerical disadvantage on our part. A guess that turned out to be spot on, they just underestimated just how massive the disparity in numbers would be. Humanity only won SW1 because of Vritai defecting and bringing most of his fleet with him.
>>65074466The answer is not obviously, you can see usa missiles stockpile right now after bombing iran. During the iraq campaigne, missiles stocks were similarly depleted and it took years to restore to normal levels.
Trying to get a radar lock on to a modern stealth fighter with a modern electronic warfare package is an endless technological game of cat and mouse.So why not instead sidestep this completely and distribute thousands of IR + cameras around your land area networked together to give you the exact location of all enemy fighters in the area without any chance for jamming? You can also create a similar camera array in the ocean with small boat drones.
>>65099427a man walked into a bar
>>65100284Yes, and EODAS is a littlllleeeee bit more advanced (read as: expensive) than stringing together some chinesium IR sensors.
>>65099427Make the building cope cage out of glass for aesthetics
>>65097261Better yet just use sound. IR gets decent range but sound receivers launched deep in enemy territory are cheap in comparison to high tech IR and can be powered by double AA lithium battery with a transmitter and solar panelTriangulate 2-3 gg plane spotted
>>65097261Properly tuned synthetic aperture radar can find them fairly easily.
Is the CZ 457 chambered in 22lr the best rifle ever made and the only rifle you will need for 95% of realistic non-LARP purposes?Yes and yes.
>>65100006I love mine. Have a .17hmr barrel for it as well
It shits all over anything made in the US, that's for sure.I had one in a Boyd's at-one stock with a suppressor. It was fucking great. Creedmoor sports in Alabama sells Gehmann diopter that goes on the 11mm dovetail.The fact that they're in rimfire is the biggest drawback. I would absolutely do unspeakable things for that same gun in 5.7x28, or even 32 Magnum with a 10" barrel. This will never happen because CZ is now the john wick reddit race gun brand.
>>65100016I'd love to have a Jaguar chambered in .17 WSM
>>65100022It's also fifteen hunderid fuck-me-bucks for that package now.

I'm a fud farmer.I hate the ar platform.I recently come into money.I can buy anything.I currently use a 12g regularly about once every other day, but I'm getting old.Guns are a tool to me.I will be using it as an all around tool. 9/10 shots I take are cull shots at about 6-12 inches out to a few feet.1/10 are predator defense culls but I live in the hills so the farthest shot I will ever take is 120-150yards, it will be rare and it will be mostly to scare rather than to kill (ring a bell in a field) if I miss it doesn't matter, I can just ring it again.I want it simple to clean and robust. Reliable with The world is what the world is and I want it to be ok for shtf. If I get lost in the woods or home defense and at least viable to take a deer, I take maybe 1 deer a year at opportunity.I raise mostly poultry with my biggest predator being coyote.I already own a 1022, several 12 gauges, a ar (I hate and don't use) and several hand guns, but I mostly carry a 22pr h and k sidekick snub nose.Comment too long.

>>65101103He's retarded, tweaking or shitposting. Potentially all three.
>>65101148Ah right, I should probably show y'all a picture of Charlie, managed to actually snap a pic of him once, fella usually doesn't like photos, and I respect him, but I wanted to celebrate our first year of living together, and he seemed fine with it.
>>65100965PSA JAKL is a good choice for someone like you honestly. Affordable but solid action, and quite reliable. Comes over-gassed as fuck from the factory so will likely run on any ammo you feed it (if you're remotely competent you can also adjust the gas yourself fwiw)
>>65100504>that's a 12 gauge shotgun made in turkeyThanks anon.>>65100852>Why is it scoped?Because scopes are aim-assist for the retarded.More aim = more kill = more deadly, dangerous and necessitating respect from ones' peersDo you think he owned that gun because he needed an ultra-compact form of self defence?That's a thug gun, in this case arguably a zigger gun.
>>65100830>Like can you noticeably feel that extra front weight?it depend on the construction, some are made with steel, cheap but heavy, other are used different metals that are better and lightweight but they cost more. i personnaly use B&T suppressors, compared to an other one i own that is made of steel there's a HUGE difference in weight compared to each others when they are attached.>Someone said sub sonic 30 30 and my ears peeled up. Do you know anything?subsonic 30-30 is alright, it's essentially the grandpa of the .308, don't bother with subsonic 556/223 for hunting game except rabbits and small critters, and don't fall for the meme subsonic 300WM or sub 338 lapua, it's like taking a formula 1 car to get your groceries, it's fucking retarded and useless.honestly i would avoid using subsonic ammo for any target further than 100 yd just because most subsonic rounds are not meant to travel long distances except those that were made for that purpose like .300 blackout or .458 socom.from what i see in your posts, if you are seriously looking into a semi auto that won't brainstorm you at the slight malfunction then consider an AK or a VZ rifle, they are meant to be simple in mind, the bolt work the same as the M1 garand but reversed, the piston is just a steel rod in a cylinder like for cars and on top of that i've litterally seen some in the same state as your AR and worked just as good like out of the box, just remember to put the safety back on so the dust and mud don't get in the gun (VZ won't care about that because it's a closed action).an other point, for Vz those made in .223 are apparently not that good and if you eventually pick a 7.62x39 rifle then get yourself soft point ammo instead of FMJ.If possible ask your gunshop if they rent firearms and try out what interrest then just pick what seems more suited to you.

Test loads edition.What are you reloading?
>>65100914>analysis paralysisYou and me both. I spend probably 30-45 minutes a day on GRT and spreadsheets seeing what .45 Super loads others have tried come up with. Most are above 28,000 PSI and some are above 37,000 PSI...Yeah like 28k for my USP and M&P and 34k-ish for my hot-rod LWA Glock seems safe to me at this point.
> buy an AR15> already reload for pistol and shotgun, so I bought a Lee 3 dies set for .223Rem> happily start depriming the first 50 cases batch> 20~ish cases done, bend the decapping pin over a berdan primed brass case without military headstampsFML to be honest, senpaiSpeaking of which, I HAVE QUESTIONS PLEASE!! 1- Never reloaded bottlenecked rifle. Is case trim a necessity for an AR? 2- How to safely clean the brass? I do clean pistol brass with wet stainless pin tumbling, but I can see easily inside them. Those small mouthed .223 have me in fear of forgetting some steel pins inside. Should I use another cleaning method? THANKS
>>65101231>bend the decapping pinThat is truly terrible, but the collet that holds the decapping pin should be loose enough that it slides up if it hits too much resistance. Make sure to adjust it carefully when you get your replacement part.>Is case trim a necessity for an AR? I am sure it is at some point, but it USUALLY doesn't become an issue until after a lest a few resizings.>forgetting some steel pins inside.They should just fall out when turned upside-down once they are dry. If you are super concerned, get a really strong magnet. It doesn't even have to be that big. Just strong enough to attract the pin through the case and run every case past it.Do you have a problem with the cases tarnishing a bit when drying? Mine take on a little color by the time they are dry no matter what I do.
>>65101268>should be loose enoughI bought the set factory new and got shipped here (live overseas). Read the instructions leaflet and it states, quoting: "The decapper is retained by a collet. Should it be overstressed by an obstruction it simply slides up without damage". So i just installed the die in the press and started decapping. After that, I had to loosen the collet but it was HARD AS FUCK to loosen. Had to carefully use large spanners and it got loose, then I straighten the pin and got back on track but I'll buy spares. I "reset" everything and also greased the collet and pin, just in case. I don't know if that was overtightened at the factory, I never used Lee before.>>65101268>tarnishing a bit when drying?My routine is to dry them and then store cases in containers, of course they don't keep that blingy gold shine forever but they look like factory new ammunition once loaded. But checking them with a magnet one by one can be a real hassle, I was thinking to switch back to dry tumbling or whatever, nevermind the worse finish but I really don't like the idea of shooting steel pieces inside my barrels.
