Questions that don't deserve their own threadFree free to ask your dumbass questions that don't deserve their own thread right here so you don't kill a psyop or shill thread.My dumbass question: Say I am curious about legally obtaining a transferable machine gun. How do I go about doing so? Like how do I actually set it up? I know the cheapest ones are like good used car prices. I'm thinking about cashing out some of my savings to get a MAC-10 or a Reisling for shits and giggles. Feel free to roast me or tell me what a dumbass I am for even considering this.>inbf just get a FRTI'm thinking about going that route too, but I want to able to go BRRRT at a range and be able to make funny faces and noises at any local, state, or federal law enforcement if they have an issue with that because I know I am 100% legal and I have the paperwork and tax stamp to back me up on that.
>>65305441I assume its basically the same as getting any other NFA item? Buy item, do bullshit paperwork.
>>65305475I dunno? I think you have to go to a special FFL to do the transfer. I'm pretty sure there are a few more steps than just buying a gun normally.Neither the ATF website nor boomerbroker were helpful about what hoops you need to jump through in order to complete the process.
>>65305441Okay quick question, because I want to put a light on my Glock, so should I buy the TLR-7 X Sub, or the TLR-7 XHL Sub?
>>65305813HL-X is is brighter, so I'd get that.
is it gay to carry a 380?
AUG in 300 blackout or 5.56?
>>653060475.56. though the conversion is just a barrel change, so you could have both.
>>65305441I ended up getting the ranch gen 2. Would it make more sense to change the stock length of pull or to extend the rail for better eye relief?
>>65305441So is .40s&w fat 9mm or skinny .45acp?
>>65306682Neither. It’s 10mm for women
>>65305907I pocket carry a Ruger LCP2 daily and I'm happily married to a female. Take that for what it's worth.>>65306047>300 memeout>5.56 chadtoyou know the answer unless you just have a specific use case in mind for the 300.>>65306682It's a more powerful 9mm, or less powerful 10mm, however you want to look at it. It's not really much like .45acp.
Which one do you think looks better?
>>65305441Is the narrower grip of a single-stack pistol noticeably different from that of a double-stack?
>>65305441#1:How high can a girl pee on average while doing a handstand?#2:Is anyone selling broken glass 12 gauge shells?
>>65307407It's narrower.
>>65307625Does that affect your ability to hold it?
>>65307407On some guns very. It really only matters for your non dominant hand placement and thumb placement.
Can anyone link me that Animaniacs-like music video about all the gear called M1, M2 etc.? I forgot the title.
ian from forgotten weapons is live on youtube RIGHT NOW and you can ask him a dumb ass question. what do we ask.
>>65309800never mind it was only 40 minutes
>>65306720Long
>>65305441Is there a .22lr conversion kit out there that's compatbile with the BRN-180? I really like the AKB-203 but a rifle in that configuration is banned in my state unless it's in a rimfire caliber. Considering the AKB-203 is little more than a range toy anyways I wouldn't mind a version in .22 but I haven't seen any kits that are explicitly compatible

are G shocks a meme? will I become a manly badass by wearing one?
>>65305441Hey /k/, I need your help.Got an AR9 PSA build goin on (I know).Initially, I had a normal PSA AR-15 lower and installed a Stern Defense 9mm Glock magazine well conversion device, and slapped a PSA 9mm upper onto it, and it ran fantastically.Now, I thought to get the Glock-mag PSA AR lower to replace the Stern-conversion lower, as the mag release is convenient.Unfortunately, as I started to run it, my magazines' feed lips started to bend, and caused failure to feed (pic related).Any suggestions?>>inb4 "Don't buy PSA"

>>65305441You just google "class 3 firearms machine guns transferable"
Is this drawing actually correct that the "hole that the gas tube goes through" is 0.625" from the center of the upper receiver's main hole?Measuring it with calipers I'm getting more like 0.77" and I vaguely sorta recall that it's 0.80"I'm trying to make a personalized homemade barrel nut/handguard BTW. This offset directly impacts where the 20 or so holes that you put into one of those are located.
>>65305441>I want to able to go BRRRT at a range and be able to make funny faces and noises at any local, state, or federal law enforcement if they have an issue with that because I know I am 100% legal and I have the paperwork and tax stamp to back me up on that.Gaaaaaaaaaaay. FRTs are legal in most NFA states and some non-NFA states. If your state is blue enough to ban NFA items then they probably also ban FRTs anyway. I think Oregon and Florida are the only ones that allow NFA but ban FRT (and Florida's ban is questionable because the statute was written shittily).
>>65311506Same guy who asked, still looking for the right dimension, just wanted to mention that I've been doing some thinking and realized that the numbers on the drawing are sort of reversed. The 0.625 apparently is the width from the center to the BOTTOM OF THE LOWER, and 1.408 must be from bottom to center of hole, so the correct distance (if the drawing is correct) is 0.783.Still wondering if that's actually the right distance since I thought it was a rounder number like 0.8 rather than a bunch-of-decimal-places number like 0.783".
>>65305813Alot of their lights that have HL in the name are longer and do not fit into their non HL capable holsters. Ran into this alot when looking at the TLR1 HL
>>65311770you might be reading it wrong. you never use the external surfaces as a reference in pics like that.

If you had a used revolver with rubber grips and the bushing on the left side ripped out of the rubber and is free spinning. How the hell do you get the screws off at that point.
>>65313174stop attempting to save the bushing and hold it with pliers or something while you unscrewor just cut around the grip till it falls off.
>>65306691This.
What exactly is the AK-201? Just the AK-74 with rails and in 5.56?
>>65306720top makes you look like man, also people will come up to you and ask to inspect it because it looks so cool
>>65305441>>65305475>>65305542>>65311168An FFL that can handle NFA transfers is referred to as a SOT, so you will often see that referred to in seller listings. >On a Form 3, need SOT for transfer
How outclassed as a jet was the F86 family (specifically the Fury branch) by the late 70s/early 80s? I'm writing this semi-cyberpunk thing, figured the easiest way for a megacorp to get air power would be buying old surplus planes, and I like the sabre
Suppressed pistols fucking suck. Shot my Glock 19 earlier and it was miserable. Are PCCs the same? I've been thinking about getting one but I don't want to get gassed out every time I want to shoot it. Can is an Octane 45 HD.
>>65314144Suck it up bitch boy. Eat. The. Gas.
if part of the function of a suppressor is an an expansion chamber, is there any reason you couldnt do this? just add empty chamber filled with steel wool or something to give a bunch more space for gas to go? would this not help it work better? it would be unwieldy, sure, but what if you just made it a dual purpose front grip?
>>65314214gets hot?
>>65314217...any OTHER reasons?
>>65314227Top part gets hot too, gonna need to make sure the guy's thumb, webbing, and pointer doesnt get burnt from the bottom of the supressor in thr before pic where the rail is
>>65314251im talking about the mechanical part of this, coating this in fabric isnt really the question here
>>65314272Ah but see the bottom circular part of it will also get hot and maybe burn anything the guy sets it on.
>>65314279cool it down by using it to warm your coffee, if you mustbut does the expansion chamber help
Is it really bad?
>>65314324It shoots .45, how can it be bad?
>>65314324It shoots .45, its bad.
>>65314324It doesn't shoot 9mm, it can't be good.
>>65314324Doesn't shoot 357 sig or 5.7 and is thusly garbage
>>65314324>>65314360>>65314376>>65314377>>65314395I wish they'd make a .50AE SMG.
Meprolight or Sig night sights for a 1911? Both $50, both used. I hate Sig on principle.
>>65314410Be the change you want to see anon
>>65314413this is more is your slide cut for those sights than anything
>>65314413>I hate Sig on principle.But not Meprolight??? lmao
>>65314410Wasn't there one unveiled not too long ago?
>>65314410
>>65314272Might as well wrap the whole gun now
yall motherfuckers really trying my patience
>>65305441>QTDDTOTdo armoured vehicles or warships have clutches? can you fuck around with revs if they do? do tanks and IFVs use automatic gearboxes or must the crew learn to drive stick?
>>65314420They're all Novaks.>>65314424Is Meprolight run by (((them)))? Will the sights explode on their own? Are they made in India?
>>65314203But it tastes bad :(

>>65314677military vehicles are automatic
>>65314632That wire stock looks uncomfortable, may want to wrap that up too
>>65314324Honestly underrated. Lots of people dismiss it because hurr not as nice as MP5, but it's got some objective advantages over it.
>>65305907Just carry good rounds and youll be straight as a whistle
>>65314677Warships typically have a similar powertrain to civilian ships, but because it's not a car it doesn't necessarily work the same way. They typically do have a gigantic gearbox in order to get a variety of outputs on their propeller shaft without having to rev the fuck out of their engines. I don't think they can do clutch dumps or if they did it probably would not be that useful because they are turning propellers in water rather than tires on pavement but I defer to anyone who has experience working on a ship in this regard.Military trucks and jeeps tend to be automatic because that allows for an easier learning curve with recruits that sometimes don't have a driver's license and have never driven a wheeled vehicle before. Lots of people who have to train raw recruits have run into this problem. That said, in other countries where manual transmissions are standard and with older military vehicles they are manual. Tank transmissions also vary depending on the vehicle. Usually training a tank driver is more specialized than training a recruit to drive a Humvee, so the added complexity of managing a clutch isn't that much of a barrier.>>65314632Looks comfy.>>65314774>Is Meprolight run by (((them)))?Meprolight is an Israeli company if that matters to you.>>65314324It was a budget alternative to MP5 that nobody asked for.>>65313169It's basically a decision between open ye wallet and ass for H&K or buy Turkshit that's slightly less overpriced. I can vouch for MAC as a company because while it is Turkish they do at least have good warranty service. You probably won't need it because Turkish guns that aren't shotguns tend to be a little better, but if you have some moral aversion to buying Turkish guns on principle then you'll have to start saving money. A lot of money.
>>65313169FWIW the only problems I hear with Turk or Paki clones is that the extractor isn't perfect. And the fix is simple, just buy an HK extractor and install it. Ditto any other part you might consider replacing. Like the locking wedge (or was that the other HK roller gun clones?).
>>65313169Oh and check thread/lug concentricity. I heard a whole one (1) account of bad muzzle thread concentricity. That's any gun, though.
>>65313968Prettt fuckin outclassed. This was a time when BVLOS started becoming a more common thing, so anyone with a sabre could have been assured to have been killed and not even know who killed them or from what direction by planes equipped with such.
Why do indoor ranges jew you out so hard? Went shooting with a coworker to get him into guns. We were barely there for over an hour, I brought my own guns and ammo so no rentals/buying ammo there. Shit was almost $100. 6 month membership at an outdoor range is 275, yearly 425. Still a scam but it would be cheaper in the long run. Fuck this town
>>65318209It's a business. They set their prices depending on what they perceive their demand is. If people are willing to pay $100/session or $425 a year that is what they will charge. This is usually because an indoor range is going to be located in an urban area with few viable alternatives around. For instance indoor ranges in my area charge about 1/5 of the prices you are paying because there's another one, multiple outdoor ranges and acres of public land all within a ~30min drive. They can't afford to charge more. If they did, they wouldn't get any business. Meanwhile your area probably has the one indoor range, miles of suburban sprawl, no public land and the nearest alternative is hours away still charging a fortune. It's more of a convenience tax.It also takes a bit of money to operate an indoor range assuming they are doing it properly. Gotta pay a lot of employees to babysit retarded novice shooters and frequently clean out all the lead from the air filtration system. If they don't have an air filter system or at least a good one, they are being mega jewy and will probably get shut down once too many of their employees and customers get lead poisoning. I've seen that happen.
I thought of a new kind of trigger confidence. I call it "grip confidence." You wrap one hand around the slide, and if your grip is good enough, the slide won't move and your hand won't be burnt or torn.What do you think?
I just bought a brand new 10/22 takedown and I'm extremely satisfied with how ergonomic it is but are there any components that I should immediately upgrade? I understand that the new models already have a better trigger group so I'm leaving that alone. Sling kit recs? It's the one w/ magpul backpacker stock if that matters.
>>65318209>be outdoor range>a piece of flat dirt with optional grass and a berm>put a few picnic tables on the other end of the property>no employees, people show up and shoot when they want without supervision>force everyone who wants to shoot there to sign a liability waiver>pay unimproved land tax rates>>be indoor range>build a giant building with ventilation and target rack moving equipment>need electricity for lighting and ventilation and target rack movement>constantly get shit on by OSHA and the EPA for hazmat (lead dust and lead vapor)>have to hire and pay employees>shitloads of liability insurance because morons do stoopid things and waivers don't work worth a damn when you have employees watching over everyone>pay ridonkulous taxes because industrial facility within city limits, so politicians jew you to the max>have to fight all the gun control fanatics who want to shut you downAfter my little suburb's city council tried to ban all guns within city limits (no possession at all, period), I sat in on city council meetings for a year. It was amazing the stupid shit they tried to regulate. They annexed a chunk of county land for the sole purpose of closing a liquor store on it because it was "near a high school". They decided to require licensing of "massage parlors" because OMG hookers sometimes set those up to jerk off lonely old men. And of course the total ban on gun possession within city limits -- a nearby city (Morton Grove) had banned handguns a few years earlier so our little bunch of dictators thought they'd one-up them.And, years later, in another city I'd moved to, some employees of a gun range got the owner into a shitload of trouble with OSHA because he was storing the contaminated sand from the backstop in a bunch of 55gal drums when he replaced it after a few years of being blasted full of lead projectiles. The range eventually shut down, in part because of that.
How many jets could world war two vintage carriers hold, specifically the essex class? Looking online all I can find is how many prop planes they could carry

>>65321575helped by the fact that over half the air wing was Skyhawks and they are smol, closer to an F4U Corsair in size than to a F-4 Phantom

Did anyone happen to catch one of those "truth about [popular military movie]" video essays about Siege of Jadotville, about an hour long?I had it recommended by youtube months ago, watched a few minutes and thought it was interesting but I had something else to do so I forgot about it, I went to look for it recently and I can't find it. Maybe the uploader messed up and took it down or just had his account struck, but it started off by explaining the historical context of the Irish UN mission and I wanted to finish watching.If it's gone and someone watched it at least let me know if it was actual good historical content or just 50 minutes of whining about the movie.

If so, it's the upgraded one. Frankly I'd leave it as is apart from maybe silencing it or putting a rail and scope/dot on it. And if you silence it, grab a Volquartsen soft buffer. Maybe their extractor if you feel like it; they're only $13 and spares are nice.
Am I the only person sick of people on the internet endlessly doing the "look at me! Look how much I know!" in regards to trigger discipline? By which I mean I've seen pics of say WW2 soldiers with their fingers inside the trigger guards and then seemingly endless comments screeching about it. Like who are they doing this for? (Rhetorical, I know it's for attention and self validation). Acting like know it alls without thinking about historical context for even a second. Similarly the autism about open dust covers in ARs smells of the same. It's a good practice to close them, but I've seen xitter threads where somebody poses their gun for a pic with the cover open and people lose their minds even though it's just a photo op. I've also seen pics of soldiers in motion with people ragging on it, like soldiers moving from position to position under fire with open fist covers and basement operators nitpicking. Is gun culture retarded?
>>65322985>Is gun culture retarded?Yes.
>>65322985>Am I the only person sick of people on the internetno>Is gun culture retarded?yesgun culture is filled with normalfags and redditoids, as such, it sucks.
>>65322985Most people don't understand the idea behind rules and principles. They don't understand the hierarchy of importance. They don't trust themselves or others to make informed decisions. They just adopt rules as religious dogma and enforce them through social shaming so that they can feel higher on the social hierarchy, which is more real to them than physical reality.

Grandpa gifted me his 1898 Winchest m97. Little use over it's life. Put a few rounds through it with zero issue. Started a deeper clean earlier in the day. Accidentally pushed in the slide plunger button and it *clicked*. Trigger now no longer is able to be pulled, hammer stuck in down position, action can not be worked.Im not all that familiar with the m97. Do I need to tear it down? I lack a long enough screw driver to get the stock off, and small enough one for the one screw next to the hammer. Or am I just a retard and it's something else?
>>65305441Is thermal optics a meme or a legitimate purchase? What reason could someone have that's not fighting another world military need for it for combat?
