>>64449372Shame old thread got axed so quicklyI need to get new pics and hit up the range again
why was previous thread pruned from the archives?
>>64449372Apparently glass bedding M1As in my area is a lost arcane art. Every gunsmith I've called who advertise bedding say they can do it only for bolt actions and that M1s are too complicated. I guess I'll be getting an EBR chassis instead of a McMillan stock if I replace the wood.
>>64449571U no
>>64449806That is a retarded excuse. There is a great M1A specific tutorial by gunblue490 on youtube though, if you're game for it. I've found synth GI stocks fit well enough you don't really need to do shit to them unless you're chasing sub MOA.
>>64450325Yeah it sounds like bullshit to me. I'll check out the tutorial, the juice might not be worth the squeeze if I have to buy a lot of tools though. My wood stock is already treated with epoxy and bedded, I just don't want to have to worry about babying it for scratches. I like your camouflage btw.

>>64450901thats every /brg/ thread for the the past 8 years though
>>64450882I really need to buy a p83
>>64450901>>64450919Yeah seems pretty tame for the thread enders all things considered>>64450924You should. Lots of pockets for cool doo dads
>>64450924Besides being cool I think it was a piece of kit way ahead of it's time, still totally viable in the modern day
>>64450919>past 8 years thougNow that my ban is over (unrelated): thank you op. Also, nice ending. Also, it's been a great 8yrs!
>>64451302>Also, it's been a great 8yrsIndeed. I do miss the early days when it was six of us desperately trying to prevent 404. But it had heart. Now we may be in the dog day's but Its still great posting with frens. Renaissance soon!

Not page 9 on a Tuesday
Guys, I learned scar is kill last night :( what do I do now with it? Do I sell it and get whatever fn does next at shot show? I love the 17S but I don't want to pay another BR level money for parts that are drying up. I could buy a fal for the price of a bolt and barrel :( it is what it is though I guess. Maybe they'll reveal something better and more aesthetic than the mrgg and licc at shot show so I can cumsoom. I just want parts available so I can take care of my BRs bros. They all deserve virgin components that aren't stripped from a previous rifle.
Hey /brg/, I got a Springfield M1A and six mags in ALICE kit. Shit is cash money, but short of burdening myself in 60rnd 7.62 Bandoliers, what is the most handy way to carry more boolits? Two mag pouches hold 2 mags each, plus one in the rifle and the 6th in a pant pocket; 1 canteen w/ cup and stove, and AMES E-tool. I could drop a pistol pouch and the holster, to add two more mag pouches, but I'm thinking the weight of two bandoliers at 60rnds (120) v four more mags (80) would favor clips. Plus, $49/mag is goofy price. Korean M1 kit because aura
>>64453652Nice Korean war setup. For my M1A I use M1956 kit. I just put the extra rounds, magazines and whatever else is left in the buttpack. When I'm at the range and want more I just load up an ALICE pack
>>64453652Oh for the ALICE rig that you got, are you just standard ALICE M16 mag pouches? I was thinking about making an ALICE set up to mitigate the wear on my M1956.
>>64453580I can trade you a G1 kit, excellent condition, no rcvr for it?
>>64453728I already have a fal platform from DSA so I'll have to pass, I appreciate it tho ma brotha!
>>64453707I would like to find a M67 repro butt pack, the woodland ones are for a different system. It would make the belt heavier, and could inhibit an ALICE pack. >>64453710standard new old stock, 2000s production ALICE pouches They fit 2 standard M1a mags, 3 AR15, a stack of Garand clips, or a family size bag of M&Ms. I recommend using this over M56 because the old canvas wears out, and the ebay chinese movie prop tier repros don't fit.
is the XCR-M really worth the price tag?
>>64453803Cool. I was thinking about switching to ALICE to protect the canvas, wasn't sure about mag pouches until your response.
>>64453917It is to me, but I have no plans to buy one.
>>64454003Bear in mind you will have to cut the webbing dividers, but on most ALICE mag pouches you will encounter those are already missing anyway.
>>64450882>>64450944Anyone know how much it and the vest are worth? I got them both from Kommandostore 9-10 years ago and have literally never worn them. The jacket is worn, some velcro needs new stitching, and there is a soldiers initials and service number on the inside of the top flap. The vest was never issued and has a 1988 date on the tag on the map flap.
>>64454453If I was selling to a friend I'd probably part with it for around 180, but you could probably sell it for 280.
>>64454464>itSo $280 for the jacket or is that for both as a price. Sorry for needing clarification.
>>64454478Sorry by vest did you mean the chest rig? I was referring to the battle jacket only for the 180-280 price. The chest rigs will go for around $75.
Agressive herpes infected monkeys have escaped in my area. wut do?
>>64454795Shouldn't change much in MS desu
>>64454795>mfw frt for PTR91Steel case beware.
>>64454488Yeah I have a pat 83 jacket and chest rig.
>>64449372 Just ordered one of these off apex. Pretty much everything regarding guns has ranged from mid to outright fake and gay with the new administration, but at least we can get kits with intact barrels again. With that in mind, what’s the best kit to larp inna woods with a Cetme?
>>64450924You can get them for stupid cheap at >https://southafricanmilitarysurplus.co.za/products/pat-83-battle-jacket-usedBeats paying like $300 if you're getting it in the states.
How stupid would it be to rice up my PTR to make it look like a PSG1 without going all out and getting a barrel/cocking tube swap on it? Looking at Pic related as inspiration for the build. Priced everything out, and it comes out to around $1200 in parts, and that's not even with a scope since I'm not really sure what kind of scope I'd like to put on it. For reference, I have the claw mount since my rifle doesn't have the pic rail on the receiver itself.
>>64454415I was going through some of my old gear. The LBV-88 integrated with your ALICE belt might be a good option. you can fit 4 M14 mags in it. The single mag pouch will fit one but the double (for M16 mags) is barely two small and will likewise only fit one M14 mag.
>>64456986Having looked at SVDs available on the market this is a cheaper option for a tighter grouping rifle if you want a Cold War DMR gun for your collection.
is MCX SPEAR sig sells to civies and mil the same rifle down to the quality of parts?
>>64458863Wouldn't bet on it, SIG is known for spotty QA to begin with
>>64456986The P(oor)SG1 is a common clone build. Not stupid, but your $1200 estimate would go a long way on a Bergara or Savage MSR10, which isn't what you want. Do the P(sudo)SG1.
/br/o should apply for janny and infiltrate.
>>64459312Too late now
>>64450901kek you guys still do that? God bless you guys.
>>64459337>Too lateNext year we will stack the tranny squad like Trump stacked the SCOTUS.
>>64453580Keep the scar, or trade it for something collectible. A G1 kit is sweet.
>>64453917Yeah they look good
I want to go shooting this weekend but I only have 180 rounds of .308 left. I'm going to start making an ammo bought to saved ratio. I'm thinking I'll start saving 40% of the ammo I buy. Maybe that's too aggressive of a ratio.
>>64461235>saving 40% of the ammo I buyI'm at 100%, sadly. That is going to change ...soon.
>>64461235I only have 120 not including the 100 I'm taking to the range tomorrow, but it's good ammo and I have a few k of 5.56 so I'm not too worried. I'm going to try to keep it 1:1 from here on out.
>>64461235I'm at saving 200% (reloading) currently
Found in "The Closet". A 4 pouch SA or Rhodie chest pouch and a couple spare 30s. The "problem" I found here is finding gear for 30rnd mags. This faithful repro is pretty poor, but true to '50s pattern? I hope to upgrade the back straps and belt with an FHF Airframe harness. Same desire for my FLCs. https://fhfgear.com/products/airframe-harness
I love the unique ones and I've never seen this type up for sale yet. Hammer price estimate a little fuzzy due to that. I'll guess $25k?
>>64462370>guess $25k>This 1943 Ford GPA amphibious vehicle was acquired by the current owner’s spouse in 1958 and underwent over $269k of work as part of a rotisserie refurbishment completed by L’Cars Automotive Specialties of Bruce, Wisconsin, from 2021 to 2022.NM, I'm sure the reserve is far more than $25k.
