Has anyone ever actually been arrested and charged for having "assault weapons" in states like CA and NY? I'm sure criminals who get arrested have those charges thrown on them (like how tax evasion gets added when there's money involved), but has there been any cases where a regular gun owner in those states gets arrested for having a 30 round detachable mag or other "assault weapon" things?
>>65408772I'm not aware of any cuck state AWB that doesn't have a grandfather clause so anything bought before the bans are legal. It seems one would have to be caught crossing state lines with a recently purchased so called 'Assault Weapon' to be convicted of a crime.
>>65408772denzel perryman got caught with noncompliant rifles but that was during a traffic stop. Some gook had his apartment checked after he got red flagged, and the blueniggers charged him for having a noncompliant rifle. That's all I can think of. Not really the same as a cop seeing someone shooting a noncompliant rifle at a range and arresting him.
Home range only goes to 285 yd. My 14.5 5.56 is too flat at that distance to get much practice making elevation/wind holds. Thinking about buying a cheap but reasonably accurate .22 LR, putting my existing FFP MIL LPVO on it, and shooting standard-velocity ammo at 150–285 to compress the long-range problem into the range I actually have. Rifle is temporary until I get access to real distance. Dumb idea?
What do I do about the range ip ban? I think it's on a bunch of verizon ips, so I can't post unless I'm home.
>>65408772Lay it on me heterosexual, does a handgun exist in theory or practice with a trigger pull that:1. Can be safely carried by retards in condition zero2. Snobs (fags) actually like the trigger-pull and aforementioned retards won't blame it for le low and left groupings3. Not DA/SA or some other gimmick where you get different trigger pulls to work withOr are we doomed to wander gay-world in circles endlessly "debating" da/sa, cock-and-locked 1911s, or Glock clones until heat-death?
>>65408772in california if you're got with 10+ round mags the most they're legally allowed to do is confiscate them and possibly write you a citation, the only actual crime is bringing them in from outside the state or selling them to other people. i have read about piggers camping out known shooting spots, then coming in and harassing people and examining their weapons though. i keep all my weapons in legal configuration just in case piggers ever show up to my doorstep harassing me (which has happened multiple times) and decide they need to inspect my firearms.

what was the shortest barreled factory version of this type of gun?
Would someone please explain to me how the Ruger "takedown 10/22" barrel attachment works? I've got an old 10/22 with the screw-on barrel clamp, and I cannot figure out any way to make it so that it could takedown/quick-detach. Is it an entirely different barrel shank and attachment method?
>>65409882Depends on the type of ban, I just use an email address. BTW, don't believe the lie that they discard it after 10 minutes (as the web page explicitly states when you "register" your email address), they track all your posts against that email address permanently and will ban your email address if you catch too many stupid bans from e.g. /pol/ jannies who hate discussions of Trump/India/boobs/Russian losses. Like, how dare I post an image of a hot Ukrainian woman in one of the /uhg/ threads, that's a three-day ban.

>>65415159>Is it an entirely different barrel shank and attachment method?Yes. Otherwise all 10/22s would be takedown 10/22s and as you discovered, they are not.
>>65415637Thanks, I guess it makes sense now.
>>65408772yes. Tons of cases. It doesn't hit the news because its boring but there have been multiple times they have prosecuted.>>65409440It's not a bad idea but at 285 yds its going to blow all over the place and you run into other problems other than bullet drop. I would maybe just run a 22 WMR upper and try that. It would not be as egregiously bad as 22lr and you wouldn't have to worry about where the hell your impacts are when a stiff breeze picks up.

Would I be fine using cheap Soft Point ammo in a Garand? I live in a place where .30-06 is exclusively used by hunters so it's almost all Soft Point. I heard some horror stories about bent operating rods or something, but I don't know if it's all weird fuddlore. This Garand is my first gun so I don't know how much stuff like this matters yet. I'm thinking if the rifle was this sensitive, they wouldn't hand it to every moron who enlisted 80 years ago or there would be problems if they did, but I'd rather make sure.Pic related is all the FMJ they had in my whole city
>>65416289They made special mild ammo for it and also it's much older than it was in ww2
>>65416289>Would I be fine using cheap Soft Point ammo in a Garand?No. The rifle would be very over gassed.Bent operating rods aren't fuddlore, and they're not easy to fix without replacing the entire operating rod.A few rounds of this stuff won't make the rifle explode or anything drastic like that, but the rifle will be cycling far harder than it's supposed to, and the rifle will beat itself to death over time.There are aftermarket gas tube end caps for M1 Garands with vent holes drilled in them that allow the rifles to cycle with modern ammo.If you can't import one of these special end caps from the US, see if you can get a hold of an original gas tube end cap and drill an appropriately sized hole in it yourself.
>>65416306I see. Would I be fine using this FMJ stuff until I can get one of those though? Or is all modern ammo too strong for Garands? I specifically sought out S&B FMJ cause I heard it's fine in these rifles but maybe I heard wrong.
>>65416317>Or is all modern ammo too strong for Garands?Virtually all modern .30-06 ammo is loaded much hotter than WWII spec.But there are some companies (including European ones) making ammo especially for M1 Garands.I believe Prvi Partizan/PPU still makes special Garand ammo, but it might still be difficult to get a hold of if Garands are rare in your country.
>>65409440Spend the money on a nice chrono and kestrel then make a trip to a longer range to confirm your dope. The thrill of hitting a target at 700y is much higher than plinking, I promise. Also, your wind calls on an AR15 should be done with "quick wind" technique or "X mph gun." Very easy to remember and use.
>>65413359The 4" ones are all that I can think of
>>65416289180gr is fine Thats what M1 ball is, which is what the garand was designed forM2 ball came a few years later but I imagine m1 ball was used throughout ww2 and beyond as they had massive stockpiles of it from the 20s and 30s
>>65416702You're just plain wrong, retard.It's about gas pressure at the gas port, which is the result of a number of different factors, not just projectile mass.Broadly speaking, modern .30-06 is loaded to much higher pressures than the (intentionally) crappy ammo that the M1 rifle was originally built for.Thus if you just put modern .30-06 ammo in a Garand, even if it's just cheap ball ammo, the rifle be absurdly over-gassed and the rifle will eventually break itself from the op-rod and bolt slamming into the back of the receiver at Mach-speed with every round fired.
How practical is an RPG-7I really want one
If a new company started producing AmmunitionWhat caliber and type would people want
>>65417424>caliber9mm, 5.56, 12g, and .308, just the usual shit>typeAh, now that's a question. Bonded core projectiles are very often out of stock, hard to find, hard to find in quantity, hard to find at reasonable prices. Armor piercing rounds are nearly unobtanium. People pay high prices for that sort of thing if you can figure out how to manufacture it. And cop shops would buy it in bulk. For a while Palmetto was selling 77/75gr otm for reasonable prices and the market gobbled it up. That's another niche. Well priced, accurate do it all ammo that works good for long range and SBRs.
>>65417724Part of me feels like making AP rounds is a free ticket to getting stalked by the ATF but then again...
I didn't want to make a thread about it so I guess I will ask here.What is the dumbest/funniest thing you (or you have seen in person) have conceal carried? I had a coworker (fuckin MASSIVE man 6'8" and easily 250+lbs) who CC'ed a full size .44 Magnum revolver because, and I quote, "I'm so big that nobody can tell.". It was true, he showed me and he didnt even PRINT.
Does anyone know if those 10/22 carbines with the bull barrel fit in a trek 22? LGS has one of the stocks for like 100 bucks and I figured why not

>>65408772Could the G11 and other caseless ammo concepts have been successful without expensive and over-complicated gimmicks like hyperburst?
>>65408772So I have a P226 Elite that I bought back in the 2000s when .40 was the meta of that time (or so I was told). After using it for several years I finally decided I want to get an optic for it, but Sig only makes optics for 9mm. So I got an entire 9mm upper to replace it - slide, barrel, spring, and magazine - and then got an optic mounted on it. So here's my problem: the gun shoots 9mm fine, but the slide never locks back anymore after the last round. I'm using 115 grain 9mm rounds. Any idea why the slide isn't locking back when it's empty? Yes it's clean and lubricated.

>>65409440I actually shoot my 22 to 300yds. You'll be fine on 12" plates. I don't have much wind due to trees surrounding the range so ymmv. I shoot both 1200FPS and 1080 FPS at that range. It'll be fine, you just need a decent amount of hashmarks on your reticle to account for drop.
I have a Winchester Model 1200 that i want to put a 10 round extension tube magazine on. Can i use it with 2 inch shells or is going to jam?

Has the whole "gun buybacks" thing died out?I came up with a new easily-printable design that would cost maybe $5 per unit in filament and spring costs, and was thinking of dumping a shitload of them at a gun buyback.P.S. - frens don't let frens buy Seagates.
Brandon Herreras Ted Kaczynki 22 cal homemade pistol. He took the barrel from crosman 1322, yeah it says its 22cal but its actually slightly smaller diameter than 22lr, its 5.5mm when 22lr is 5.7-5.73 and the crosmans rifling is shallower than 22lr guns, isnt there a high likelyhood it might blow up in your face if you actually used that barrel?
>>65420454>Could the G11 and other caseless ammo concepts have been successful without expensive and over-complicated gimmicks like hyperburst?No. The issues with caseless firearms tend to be the whole caseless ammo thing.Achieving a good gas seal without a case that inflates and seals against the chamber is hard.Rounds made from blocks of solid propellant are more fragile and prone to feed jams than metallic cartridges. They can crumble and break in the action, which isn't really a concern with metallic cartridges.In automatic firearms metallic cases also act like heat sinks, soaking up heat and removing it from the gun when the case gets ejected.Since this doesn't happen in caseless firearms, caseless guns heat up a lot faster.The overheating issues gets worse because there's no case to absorb and distribute heat when a fresh round is loaded into the chamber, the solid propellant block far more prone to unintentionally "cooking off" from heat than a metallic cartridge.If such a cook-of happens before the action is fully locked, it may cause the firearm to explode catastrophically.>>65423849Bullets being slightly oversized is normal. See the pic for an example.You really need to shoehorn a drastically oversized bullet down a narrow bore for the pressure increase to become potentially dangerous. .22LR operates at such low pressures, that even if shoved down a barrel that's 0.2mm too small, it wouldn't be an issue.Fully supporting the case is a bigger issue with .22LR, since the cases are very thin and they'll burst if there isn't solid metal surrounding the case and limiting how much the gas pressure can inflate it as the cartridge fires. As for cramming oversized bullets down narrow bores, there are a few guns that do this intentionally to increase velocity.They're called "squeeze-bore" guns and they're mostly older anti-tank guns or anti-aircraft that use conical bores and special projectiles meant to be compressed as the bore gets narrower.
>>65423980>metallic cases also act like heat sinks, soaking up heat and removing it from the gun when the case gets ejectedlmao it's 2026 and people are still saying this stupid shit.
>>65423998>lmao it's 2026 and people are still saying this stupid shitAre you intentionally trolling or are you just retarded?It's basic physics.>gun fires>Entire chamber area, including the case get very hot.>hot case gets removed from gun>heat energy stored in the case gets removed from the gun along with the spent caseIn a caseless system, the same amount of heat develops while firing, but all of it stays in the gun, so the gun heats up faster.
>>65417424So many companies manufacture ammo. Its a shit business with low margins unless you are doing something unique but if you are doing something unique why wouldn't your buyers handload it themselves?That being said, just produce molds for different sizes of cast boolits that the big guys aren't making. The number of oddball molds you can manufacture is more than enough of a business to keep you well fed for decades. Hell, even make molds speculatively and let the handloaders figure out if they can dial up a charge.

>>65424499>223 vs 556It wouldn't matter, especially so in a bolt action And if your willing to shell out whatever it costs to build, go for it
>>65424519Why do you say it doesn’t matter with the pressure difference? Can you please explain?I’m not familiar with the nuances

>>654245365.56 has slightly higher pressure (excess safety margins of modern firearms makes this moot) and slightly longer freebore (dont shoot 90 grain bullets and this will never be a problem)redditors claim pressure spikes but ive never seen any real data. i'm convinced it's fuddlore
>>6542447922WMR, 17HMR? Really depends on where you live and the regs too, assuming what you're shooting falls under small game regs and isn't "I dunno, if it's a pest, shoot it with a .50; I don't give a fuck." So what state/country and back yard pest control (if so, how rural?) or hunting? What distance? I like 22LR out to 50yds or so. I'm going up to 22WMR for some slightly bigger game/longer distance soon.

>>65424480Fair enough. It is my understanding that they do work with the gun, i was thinking more in terms of there being issues with the huge extended tube. Shorty rounds are heavier than a equivalent volume of standard rounds and i've heard about people having issues with the strength of the spring inside really big extension tubes.
>>65427279point the gun in the air when you pump it, gravity assist lmao
>>65427279>i've heard about people having issues with the strength of the spring inside really big extension tubes.thats on them. with those extensions they dont come with springs. you buy a generic spring and cut it to length. thats on you if you fucked up cut it too short. or if you didnt cut enough off and lost capacity. its your fault it didnt work.
>>65427285That is actually good advice. In theory i should already be doing that as i'm LARPing by making a anti drone blast master. >>65427297As is this. When i need to replace a spring on a older gun i usually buy those semi flat springs from Wolff that are 20% over listed strength, that should do it. Thank you, you have all been quite helpful.

>>65427062Standard or delayed?
>>65427545Standard, IE straight blowback. Out of the four I listed, two are straight BB systems - the Uzis (I actually have three), and the straight BB AR.Any delayed blowback system (in my case the MP5 and RDB) is not going to be as 100% reliable as straight blowback across any ammunition weight, suppressed or not.It's definitely not going to be as pleasant to shoot as delayed, but it is going to be significantly more reliable.
>>65424010>>65426393If the case soaks up heat from the gun and ejects it, why do guns get hotter when fired instead of colder?Why do plastic cartridges result in cooler chamber temperatures for a given firing schedule?Answer these questions and then re-consider if "the cartridge gets hit and then gets ejected" is a positive trait of conventional firearms.
>>65427722Why does the cartridge case get hot if it's not absorbing and removing heat from combustion?Also: >Why do plastic cartridges result in cooler chamber temperatures for a given firing schedule?Source because this is horseshit.
>>65427722>why do guns get hotter when fired instead of colder?the gun is containing an explosion you retarded fuckboom is hotthe ejected case leeches some of that heat but its not all of it not even close.
>>65427741>absorbing and removing heat from combustionThat's not desirable, any heat from the explosion that goes into the cartridge to be ejected is wasted energy that should have been propelling the bullet instead. But you've already given up on the premise that the cartridge helps keep the chamber cool, so we're making progress.

Anybody got any recommendations for general use gloves? I tried out a pair of mechanix of a while back but they up and fucking disintegrated on me after like a month of regular use.
>>65429278What do you mean by general use? Gun related "general use" (range, hunting, whatever) or all around general use? Harbor Freight has a decent glove selection but some may be a tad thick on the palms. They go on sale for stupid cheap, though. Generally when I need work gloves, I just go grab whatever the most skin tight glove Lowes currently has for under $10. Can't fucking stand baggy ass work gloves. The Craftsman gloves were actually pretty decent although they may be discontinued. Whatever's on the endcap of the aisles in the front of the store near the tools is usually pretty decent.

>>65429870How is energy spent heating the cartridge and the chamber not "wasted"? The goal of the system is to add kinetic energy to the bullet, not heat metal components.
Tard here. I don't have any experience with suppressing PCCs. I have an Octane 45 I want to put on an AP5. AP5 has a 3 lug adapter. All I need is the 9mm 3 lug mount from SiCo to be able to mount it? Or do I also need the 9mm muzzle device?

They take a minute to break in, but after like a week of use they just fucking fit and are comfortable as hell.They're also surprisingly warm in the winter, even though they're not insulated.They also make insulated ones for winter use specifically, although IMO they're a bit uncomfortable because of how thick they are.They will soak water up though so you need to treat them if you want them to be waterproof.

planning out a mk18 build and getting hung up on what suppressor to grab - flow 556k or the tisha my biggest concerns are overall durability on such a short barrel and the amount of back pressure the tisha might have. does anyone know/have resources/experience that could help me decide? 556k seems to have everything I want at a lower price point, but if the tisha does all that but is quieter (and in inconel should heat up slower) then I'm more likely to go for that
>>65430119The AP5 does have threads does it not? Why not direct thread with a different base or thread adapter? I've heard trilug can be a little loose anyways, although there should be no worries with a 45 silencer on a 9mm gun.

>>65435188>sloppy stick-welding (with tons of spatter) to literally weld the rear sight assembly in placeWTF?????I know fuck-all M1 carbines, but I seriously doubt it would be done to a new post-war production carbine, or even one half-assedly assembled from surplus parts.It has to be Bubba's handiwork or some hasty wartime repair/"upgrade".The fact that someone clearly used a cold chisel to hack blobs of weld spatter off of the receiver, with no additional effort to sand/file the damage down, speaks volumes about the shear crudity of this work.If I were you, I'd try to check the production dates of various parts, just to make sure that it's not Bubba's parts bin gun.This repair is so crudely done that I refuse to accept that it was performed at any post-war factory, regardless of how shitty that factory was.It HAS to be a WWII wartime emergency repair, an bodge-job performed by an illiterate Vietnamese peasant in a jungle hut, or a boomer-era repair by an illiterate Louisiana swamp creature working under similar conditions.It's either an actual wartime (you pick the war) emergency repair, or Bubba's botched abortion.No way in hell it's any kind of factory work. If it's an actual wartime emergency repair, it might have some value solely due to historical provenance alone.All this being said, shouldn't be a problem for a professional gusmith to fix this ghetto-rigged bodge job and install a working rear sight assembly.It might not be as pretty as brand new M1 carbine, but it'll give you a more-or-less period correct M1 Carbine with a working sight.
>>65435252Yeah, I'm not implying that was factory but I'm struggling to understand the idea here. It's like the front of the dovetail is totally gone. I took it apart to look for additional markings and rechecked the serial and it's apparently from '44 and all parts match late production but the slide is marked "sg" and I found an old doc that said that was from 'sargent and greenleaf' but they could have been a subcontractor. The stock markings are old and too work to make out.
>>65435334If the rest of the carbine is period correct, I'm leaning towards this being some kind of wartime emergency repair, rather than Bubba's handiwork.Still, the fact that it's fucked up and the sight doesn't work right is a negative, regardless of any historical provenance.Unless you want it to look brand new and untouched, it wouldn't be a big deal for a gunsmith to fix up the dovetail and install a working sight.One or two hours of work, at the most.Shouldn't cost more than like $300 including a replacement rear sight assembly.
I'm looking for a mountain cloak. There's a brand that I can't remember and it's driving me nuts. I thought they were Scandinavian, maybe swedish. They make weather resistant, camo-patterned cloaks that looked really nice and I can't think of the name. Any ideas?
I need help comrades, I want to remove the rear sight from my Yugo Mauser M48a to install a no drill scope mount from badace, but the fucking retaining pin is stuck.I tried a brass punch, then tried a steel punch, but it won't move (and I'm afraid of denting it flat so it won't fit trough the whole anymore). I applied Isopropyl alcohol and also acetone-free brake cleaner to clear the gunk, but it still won't move. I even used a hair dryer and later my zippo to heat the rear sight up, still nothingAny other ideas for getting this damn piece unstuck? I'm open to destructive means as well, but sadly don't have alot of tools at my disposalPic is the damn pin from both sides
>>65408772I got arrested for a hi point c-9 because they're off roster, but the onky reason it happened was because I actually reported it to the DOJ as required by law.
>>65436946pull it out of the stock clamp it in a vice then have at it.if you are using heat use actual heat and not a lighter.
>>65422351Update: I didn't find anything on caliber specific lowers for the P226. From what I've looked up they say you can just change the caliber with the same lower. So I thought it might be the slide catch lever spring getting old. I finally got a new one in the mail and replaced it now, but it's still not locking back on an empty mag. Soooo back to the drawing board. Unfortunately, Sig doesn't sell lowers by themself.
>>65438081It's the fucking magazine! Fuck!On a whim I went to bass pro and got an extended 20-round magazine. It fucking locks back for that one, but not for the 15-round standard magazine. So I look at the mags... the extended one (working) is made in USA, but the standard (not working) is made in Italy. God damn fucking Italians!
Considering making a 3d printing thread but I remember that it isn't generally popular enough here.If anyone else is into it, could you tell me what printers are good? Since cans are deregulated i want to get into it. What resins are good for it? How long can 3d printed suppressors usually last?
why did it take 700 years for someone to think to put powder, projectile, and primer together in a metallic cartridge?
>>65438286Dunno
>>65438237Hello, officer.
>>65438286Percussion cap primers didn't exist until the 1820s, and didn't see any widespread use until the 1840s. Percussion caps were downstream of fulminates, which weren't discovered by chemists until the early 1800s. This is a bottleneck to the development of self contained carriages. Once cleared, development greatly sped up. By the 1860s, self contained metallic cased cartridges were in use. So you've got 60ish years from the discovery of fulminates to metal cartridges, and 40ish years from fulminate primers to metal cartridges.
>>65438232I was even going to say that reading your last post. Follower worn or spring fucked?
>>65438237>what printers are good?As I understand it, most printers are fine anymore. It's no longer 2012 and normal print quality you can easily make happen now is basically what high quality high effort prints wish they would've been back then. Much better heat control as well.>resins>silencerWhy? I mean, seriously why? As far as I understand it, resins are not good plastics for strength, you have to clean and post cure them (meaning you need like a gallon of isopropyl alcohol and a UV light box), AND the fumes that come off resin vats are pretty bad to breathe. No, the enclosure is not air-tight, either. I would not recommend one as your only printer. Been years since I actually looked into new printer tech but trust me when I say a resin printer is not what you want. Insane detail, but not for strength. Never printed anything like that but I know enough to recommend probably an ender 3 knockoff and pla+ and go play. Basically easy to run, cheap to print, like twice as fast as 2010s printers, etc.>Since cans are deregulatedYeah anon they're really not. Not yet. The NFA still exists but only certain things were struck down but not enough (ie. 1968 GCA). Still not a good idea to fuck around. Not because I don't want it to be true; the people who do that will be the ones making shit happen and the NFA to slowly go away. However, if anyone is going to be fucked with by the ATF, it's going to be those people (you). And then maybe your court case will further chip away at the NFA. Maybe.
>>65438602>Follower worn or spring fucked?It can't be. The standard 15-round mag was brand new, bought from Sig's website.
Anyone know any good Fuck-Fuck games? >My understanding of a Fuck-Fuck game is its like the opposite of a trust exercise but its designed to make everyone miserable Not sure if theres a better way to explain it
>>65438871Yeah make this tracker in excel so we can tell who needs to do pt testing.>okay it's doneNot like that, it needs to automatically sort out the low-scorers so we can focus on them.>okay like thisGreat thanks but we just decided to do mandatory testing for everybody every month so nobody can go overdue.
>>65438871Give a group of people a goal to work towards but tell them theres a secret sabeteour. Whether or not there is one would be up to you
How do I learn firearm design (not gunsmithing)? Is it just mechanical engineering or are there dedicated schools? How do I get involved in the industry?
>>65408772What happened to the Winchester Model 70 in 1964? It seems like everyone avoids post 64 models like the plague. Why?
>>65441026You should really be asking yourself what happened in 1965 and 1973.
>>65437062Thanks for the advice, did just that at a buddies workbench. But holy fuck was that shit cursed, seems that I kinda minimally flattened the pin with my first attempts, but we got it moving a little bit, then it turned out that glorious yugo steel was harder than my budget pin punchers (probably made with the finest chinesium steel) and the punch started bending... So we used a drivel to clean up the flattened bits, no luck, then we tried with a drill to basically drill out the pin, shit was way to hard but we got a dent in it and basically no more blocking metal bits, so we did one last attempt with the weak punch (we shortened it in the meantime to get better force projection to the tip) and luckily got the pin outSo my advice would be to buy proper hardened pinpunches
Would it be possible to make one of those old economy bolt actions where the only locking lug is the bolt handle in 5.56? Or would the pressure and bolt thrust simply be too much for that designI think it would be cool to make something like picrel in 5.56
>>65441026big mauser extractor gone, replaced with tiny push feed claw extractor, machined steel floorplate replaced with aluminum, shitty impressed checkering, integrally machined sight bases replaced with seperate screw-attached bases, overall cost cutting measures that "loused the rifle up" as Jack O'Connor said. But honestly it basically just turned the model 70 into a remington 700. Its not an objectively bad rifle, its just not as good as it was before. But the whole "Pre-64 winchester" has been mythologized and exaggerated into absurdity. Thus boomers pay accordingly.
Has anyone here bought from B&T recently? Like within a month or two. Thinking about buying a gun and can from them and want to know if they've managed to get things settled since the Swiss now have control of the American side
>>65444804>single lug>just the bolt handleAnon, 12ga Sears bolt actions (supposedly) could shear their lug(s) and throw the bolt. Hell, Paul Mauser lost an eye to a prototype IIRC, though I'm not sure if that was bolt failure. That thing looks like it's 22 or another low power cartridge. There's a reason safety lugs are a thing. I'm not saying you can't, just that there's probably a reason no one does it anymore. If you want a more modern version of that idea, look at the Daisy 2201. Single shot, ZAMAK receiver. there's a version that takes mags, too. But 2201 and 2203 seem to be the most common. Not sure what the mag version would be called. I think the 1st and 2nd digit is just "it's a 22", the 3rd is the trim level (0 = nylon adjustable stock, 1 = wood), and the 4th digit seems to be the model. Neat guns. Cheap. $100-150 seems to be a fair going rate, sometimes even with the box. I'm sure some newer 22s might do the same but I threw it in just as an odd gun I know of that does the same. Sketchy as fuck on a cast zinc alloy receiver and what might be a cast bolt though.
how come the p90 magazine style hasn't really been replicated?
>>65444804Okay apparently this just seems to be the norm for 22s. Even the 457 is bolt lug only. That gets you 17HMR and 22WMR. I think they're less "economy" and more just cost effective (rather than overkill) for the caliber.
