What options do I have for a gray flat top AR15 upper? I'm trying to match "Colt grey" for a rifle build I had an idea for. Seems like a reasonable color that isn't too out there but my options are limited and the manufacturers are often ones I've never heard of. Looking for an upper around $100, give or take $20. Needs forward assist and dust cover cut. Should be milspec. BCM had demo uppers that appeared grey but they're OOS and I didn't see them elsewhere except for $150 OOS. Pic is grey but it's cerakoted, not anodized IIRC.Previous: >>65408772
>>65478126If your budget is that tight you'll probably have to go hunting for a used upper.
>>65478134Doesn't need to be complete, just stripped or with charging handle and door; I'll probably buy the bolt separate. I can go a little higher no big deal; I just haven't looked for an upper in a long time and it looked like $90-120 was still a realistic range for milspec. I should go to a LGS or two and see what new or maybe used uppers they have FWIW, good point. I'll probably check them in a week or two.Also, giving away my idea here, I guess I can just buy the real deal, a prototype even, with blueprints. Only like 4x what I want to spend on my rifle for just the upper lol. I'm fine coping with a picatinny flat upper for now until I figure something out.>Colt 656 prorotpe upper with original blue print $5500https://www.sturmgewehr.com/forums/index.php?/topic/36274-misc-colt-m16-parts-prorotpe-cutaway-armalite-601…/
>>65478126Brownells and cerakote it?
>>65478126For that budget I'd just get a can of Aluma-Hyde. I also recommend Moly Resin if you have an airbrush.
On the off chance someone else is down this hole, is there any sort of chassis for the Steyr A2 MF line? Did some digging and all I found was a reddit post of a dude firing one with what I assume was an FRT or just fast trigger finger in a chassis, plus an abandonded Odysee project. No one selling anything. I messaged the dude hoping he might have something, no reply yet.
Anyone here try 223 reduced plastic ammo? It's very cheap, but some sources say it won't cycle without an adapter??? I intend to shoot these in my m16a1 and sar 80
>>65478126I only know of 2 companies that anodize anything grey and they only do it for "retro" parts. cerakote is probably your best option, the other one being just painting it.
>>65478175Just buy the blueprint for whatever exorbitant price that asshole wants for it and machine one yourself
Is the Sonoran Desert Institute worth it I have no prospects and my uncle won't even flex his legal connections to get me a job in the mail room.
>>65479536Absolutely not. Jewtuber scam "college". Go to a real school.
>>65479552I already went to college, turns out I'm unemployable.
>>65479536SDI is a literal scam.
>>65479556Eh, it's more or less what any reasonable person would expect from a long-distance video-course "school".Such "schools" have always been shady in that they over-promise and over-charge in exchange for borderline useless copy-paste degrees.The same can be said for virtually all "legitimate" US colleges these days.But SDI are indeed shady in that they practice especially predatory pricing when they sell tools and materials "required" to complete their courses.The main scam they pull is accepting GI-bills in exchange for their services, which is an absolutely terrible deal, blatantly preying on clueless ex-military dumbasses.Anyone who wants to get into gun smithing can learn the same basic skills with $500 worth of tools and materials from Amazon and free woodworking and metalworking tutorials on Youtube. The hitch being that they won't have "official" paperwork to prove it. Gun smithing remains one of the rare few professions where oral testimony of apprenticeship by a recognized master, and practical experience, matter far more than any formal papers "proving" that the holder possess a certain skills.
>>65478126How has walther got away for years advertising the PPK/S and PPK at 19 oz when they are both well over 20 with or without the magazine? Is it something stupid like only the frame is legally the firearm so that is what is 19 oz?
>>65479734Please direct that question at S&W.Walther hasn't made PP/PPK pistols since 1945 when Adolf shot himself and the frogs seized the Walther factory and their blueprints.The original-spec Franco/Germanic PP-series pistols haven't been imported to the US since 1968 GCA instituted their bullshit pistol point system, and the US-produced "Walther PP-series" pistols are only vaguely related to the German originals.The unlicensed East-German PP clones are closer to the originals than anything sold in the US since the late 1960s.
>>65479752S&W hasn't produced the ppk for over a decade.
>>65478342Unless I chop a carry handle or buy an M16A4 they don't make flat tops available without being complete with the exception of a $250 billet upper completely stripped which is pretty pricey for a 300yd max rifle when it doesn't have the door, bolt, charging handle, or anything forward of the upper.>>65478566FWIW I have a paint pot and some paint guns with the quart size paint cans on them. I do worry about paint chipping at the edges near the rail or at the corners but it's a possibility. Still a black interior or black at spots of wear like a cheaply resprayed car, though.>>65478706Yeah I'll probably buy the OP pic for like $120. PSA does grey under H&R retro but their search system is total ass and I had a hell of a time finding anything. I might just have to find the H&R category on their site and try to use filters to see if they make a flat top. Also need to look into bolt quality there and compare with SOTAR's videos. I do have a bolt but there comes a point where you feel stupid sharing one bolt in two or more rifles. Also, I was trying to avoid cerakote as I've heard quality varies wildly from:>nearly a part of the metal the rifle is made fromto>why the fuck doesn't my rifle function?(coating thickness causing function issues; see also: SOTAR AR bolt videos)to>"oh my god this shit flakes off like spray paint" (similar to Ruger's powder coat)So I feel I might be rolling the dice on a sub-$100 cerakoted upper from "Total War Tactical" (OP pic) who also sell things like "TOXIC ZOMBIE GREEN" and "GOP RED" keymod handguards, lol.>>65478719FWIW if I ever got stupid rich, buying and scanning shit like this is to make available what I'd do. I can't believe out of all the retro things made, no one's tried to chop carry handles, drill and tap for rail, and make faux-656 uppers. It being a prototype worse version probably hurts the guy's chances of selling, though, unless he had ones for a close to final version.

I got 2. 1. Can you "shoot out" a shotgun barrel? If so, how? I figure shotguns are pretty low pressure, and accuracy isn't really what they're made for.2. Why has no one (with limited exceptions) make shotguns easy to disassemble without tools like you can rifles?
>>65482790>. Can you "shoot out" a shotgun barrel? If so, how? I figure shotguns are pretty low pressure, and accuracy isn't really what they're made forthere are old and i mean really old over a century shotguns where modern ammo will blow them up.that said for the most part a damaged shotgun barrel will be from extreme neglect rust or some kinda bore obstruction that caused ringing or kabooming>2. Why has no one (with limited exceptions) make shotguns easy to disassemble without tools like you can rifles?they are a mossberg 500 or rem 870 is literally 2 pins and the magtube cap to field striptheres some stuff you dont fucking touch like the triggerpacks but they are pretty simple.if your asking why they dont split in half cleanly like the takedown models? cost its just cost.break actions are even simpler.most modern shotguns are easy to disassemble unless its turkshit covered in crap. or keltec.

I am looking at purchasing a new hunting rifle. I am used to 30-06 and other milsurp calibers but I want to get something thoroughly modern. I am considering 6.5 sneedmore and 7mm prc. I will primarily be hunting deer. These two specifically because they are options both available on the rifles I'm considering.6.5 seems like it has wide adoption and a variety of flavors available. Its very accurate and predictable. Possibly less reliable for larger game7mm prc seems like it has a very flat shooting arc and more stopping power. Possibly poor support from manufactures and availabilityAny thoughts on what direction I should take?
>>65482861Get on an "app" with an international feature and import one. A conservative FOB asian girl is functionally a blank slate that will participate in whatever activities you want because she wants to spend time with you and see you doing something you enjoy.
>>65482284About 26 cpr. Cheapest fmj goes for about double and a bit
>>65478126cerakote and an expo arms stripped upper. stop being a faggot.
has anyone had aimpoint refurb a comp m2 and how much did it cost?
>>654831627mm prick is literally over double the cost of 6.5 fagmore, take that into accountAlternatively just get a 270
>>65483162>Any thoughts on what direction I should take?I think you should get a 7x57 or 7mm-08 if you're only going to be hunting deer-sized game and a .30-06 if you're going to be hunting anything bigger.

>>65478126>Looking for an upper around $100, give or take $20.>>65478134>If your budget is that tight you'll probably have to go hunting for a used upper.WTF are you smoking? Upper receivers are cheap, I think I paid $30 last time I got one. Adding the FA and dust cover might cost a few bucks, I usually see uppers either completely bare or fully assembled as a complete upper with barrel and handguard, but a dust cover and FA and a couple of roll pins won't set you back more than another $20.

If any of this NFA business finally gets repealed you guys think any of those things will be permissible in the grand old state of new york or will they legislate them into the ground?I'm still sour over that body armor ban
Has anyone made or tested a dual reticle red dot? Like a red a green dot at the same time but you could set one for holdovers or subs or whatever.
favorite 9mm fmj? I got 4 different types from the gun boomer. Is it all the same shit if grain weight is the same?
>>65484458Ok good to know I'm not insane and uppers can still be had cheapish; $30 is way lower than I've seen so far. Thought I was losing my mind when I was seeing $150+ for full/mostly stripped milspec. Also going to need to order H&R retro parts for the FA and door so they're the right color, or at least from someone who makes the same thing.>>65485036Fuck, someone actually made that. Independently zeroable dots in the same red dot. I was just listening to something where they were mentioned; EOTech, maybe? One of the bigger brands out there at least.
>>65485065>Is it all the same shit if grain weight is the same?pretty much, yeah. as long as none of it's +p or something.
>>65485036>Sig ROMEO9T 1X38MMIdk why I thought it was EOTech.
>>65485111Woah that's expensive. Wonder why the design isn't more popular, though. Holdovers are easy enough and I can see the appeal of simplicity but a lot of guys put a second dot at 45 degrees and this seems more practical in that case at least.
Anyone know if Trausch grips for modern Chapuis MR73 grips are the same as the originals? If so, where can I buy some?

>>65484463He sent it twiceI gotta stop making small talk with men. Go back to the gym and gawk at some hos. this got me fuckd up now i gotta find a new ffl
>>65484923I'm just an interested amateur, so this is all AFAIK.*If* SCOTUS were to declare the NFA unconstitutional, state governments would be (theortically) blocked from making their own state versions. I'm sure in practice certain states would get butthurt and pull bullshit like some did after Bruen, since until a court individually slaps down any given state law it remains in effect, and shitass politicans rely on inertia to put bad laws in place. I think though, realistically the NFA's constitutionality won't go in front of SCOTUS. To get to them requires the loser appealing it upwards. The ATF currently lost on suppressors and by all appearances doesn't plan to appeal it upwards. That means that NFA law regulating suppressors isn't definitively unconstitutional, but living in a kind of limbo state as the law still exists but has an injunction preventing it from being enforced. The ATF probably doesn't want to roll those dice in front of SCOTUS.
>>65484460I don't know enough code or something.I dunno, if I knew I probably wouldn't be unemployable.

>>65478126Has anyone made mount for the pvs7 that gives it the pvs5 style back. I kinda wanna make snakes goggles.
>>65485206Answering my own question, I found the listing/SKU for the modern MR73 Trausch grips. But it's from OpticsPlanet with "Estimated to ship within 6-8 weeks." Should I risk it? Doesn't that mean "who the fuck knows when we'll actually get it" by OpticsPlanet standards?https://www.opticsplanet.com/beretta-mr73-traush-pistol-grip.html
>>65486764Off the bat I believe you have to have an FFL for that. Probably not worth it.
>>65488478>Estimated to ship within 6-8 weeksthis means 8 weeks later they will say it was delayed or someshit like that and put out a new eta of 2 weeks. 2 weeks will pass and they will say oh just 2 more weeks. this repeats until you think fuck it imma cancel this shit then they give you a 10-20% off coupon code for your trouble.
>>65486764Very low hourly rate. Especially considering it's basically cosmetic, those guns still work and slobs don't care if it's sub optimal
Would you continue seeing a girl that has hiv? She told me before doing anything. I guess i would be limited to kissing and sucking her tits. Im cursed
>>65483162Definitely 6.5 creed. 7 PRC is done because they can't get the proper powder for it, there is an industry catfight going on. Plus 7prc can take a bit to get shooting accurately with some guns (luck of the draw) but not 6.5 creed, an inaccurate 6.5 creed has probably never been made
>>65488679How she caught it is relevant information
Good question I’ll have to ask further. I should be more mindful i assumed she was hoing but it could be any number of things.
>>65488710Some can get it from blood transfusion as a baby etc, but usually they'll let you know. Sounds like she was injecting drugs or taking anal from black guys and that's not worth risking your health over.Pic rel is you if pharmajews suddenly decide to make HIV treatment unaffordable
>>65488715Unfortunate. Back to square one. How do people have casual sex without asking and knowing anything. My friend told me thats a high school level question to ask if they have a disease or for latest test results. thats the first thing i gotta know. This game is rigged
>>65488740If she got it from a medical thing she could be a diamond girl with low self esteem, prep makes it almost unspreadable but you have to trust them to stay to the regimen.So don't write her off, just don't fuck with a whore with HIV.As for the sex thing there is no trick or rule anymore, the world has changed
>>65488778Yeah thanks i researched on it after. I remember i did ask when she mentioned it and she said in a sad tone - some guy. Shes nice though maybe ill still feel like talking to herIll just focus on making some money and buying a house for now. renting sucksI gotta resist that mark 23.. might cope with a tisas for now
>>65488679Do you understand the risks you are taking exposing yourself to a deadly disease?Do you plan on having a future with this person?What exactly do you envision that future to look like with her taking a cocktail of expensive drugs just to survive?Do you want to have kids?Do you want to expose yourself and those kids to getting HIV every day of your lives?Do you want to potentially raise those kids alone because her illness took a turn for the worst?You have to answer those questions for yourself and decide for yourself. But you can't just have a casual relationship with someone who has a potentially deadly disease.
>>65488814Yeah if women can get the ick from a minor faux pas, I think it's fair for you to get it for her having the most feared and serious STD.I'm trying to get my own place too, no good women will go for a man without a house, just the way it is, I'd get a free house too if all it took was sex twice a week
>>65488821 I would like to stay healthy and not dependent on drugs. Thats why im cautious and ask questions before the act. at least they told me. yeah casual relationships arnt in the cards for now. Damn rng burying my luck.>>65488825 I suppose i knew and im looking for rational confirmation to combat my desires. Cant be sympathetic this timeYea i want a isolated place in suburbs. watching all these hicock45 type vids with their private range is pain. A small house would be an ok starter. Sucks neighbors are always terrible with shitty music and barking
>>65488872Keep jerking it to keep the temptation away, I'd probably screw a chick with HIV if I hadn't jerked for a week
She was so averagely cute and petite.. i just jerked to her.. I usually attract some nice fat ass. Well prob back to that
>>65488478They look remarkably shitty. Just get some nice g10 grips.
>>65488872Well if it's any consolation,we (by which I mean my parents and I; a home for myself is basically out of the question) moved from a subdivision to an isolated house in a far more rural area and there's still dogs, niggerbass, and shitty neighbors, but now those neighbors plow down my trees, their dogs come on my property and they get mad when we complain, and at least once some kid with a gun wandered into the yard. Legitimately have had more issues with these rednecks in the last few years than we did with the mostly black population in 2 decades at the last place.But at least I can go out back and shoot for now.
>>65489987Ihate that blasting horrible music and not raising dogs properly and lawnmowing and unsupervised kids are a thing. Theyre feeding off our suffering. some occult shit being actualized in real time Nice least u can shoot.

>>65490897Figured as much. I would only want it as a functional .22 mag revolver and i can get a better new one for that. Sadly not a RG-14 which i would have bought simply to own one.
>>65478605It’s my EDC and I haven’t seen anything but haven’t gone looking. I want the pistol grip on their new rifle that matches the M9.
>>65490210Yeah and if you can't make it to the range on time you can just let him borrow it with a deposit of the street value of the gun
>>65478175Just get a black stripped upper and get it Ceracoted
>>65479590I don't understand how they can even purport to teach gunsmithing through long distance courses, given how much of actual gunsmithing requires machine tools that you can't possibly expect a remote student to have access to. I also have a useless degree (commercial photography, and it's from a school that lost its accreditation and then went bankrupt a decade ago) and I'm currently going back to school for machining/manufacturing, which seems like it'd probably be a better pathway into gunsmithing - in fact, we have several gun companies in the area and their recruiters come to our job fairs etc. A few of my friends in the program are doing it specifically because they want to go into smithing too, personally I'm aiming more at aero defense contract stuff because it's where the money is though.
>>65478126A lot of fiction, like 40k in particular, has the trope of people using weapons that are thousands of years old. It got me thinking, how long could a gun actually last and remain functional if it was properly stored and maintained throughout its entire history?
>>65492899If it was made and stored with extreme longevity in mind? Thousands of years. Tens of thousands with the right materials and storage methods, like sealing it in a glass ampule filled with inert gas. Ammo not so much although black powder could be stored in it's separate components.

>>654827901. Not really, its smoothbore, but you can shoot them "loose" where it doesnt lock up very well. A worn out break barrel wont lock up tight anymore, a pump shotgun eventually will get excess headspace. But you cant really wear out the bore itself. Maybe if you shoot steel shot out of an old shotgun you may open up the choke at the worst

That was 2004 though so I don't know how things have changed since then, and I had a leg up because I was really into cars and did a lot of my own wrenching so I was well-prepared for the mechanical side of it.

Then the panic began when Obama got elected, I think the biggest change wasn't guns but ammo.Guns are as accessible as they've ever been for most of the country, but the ammo situation got bad with the import bans and has just never improved and probably never will.
>>65495697>Damn AF needs perfect eyesight to be a grunt.Not at all, if you're correctible to 20/20 you can be a pilot and I don't know the standards for general admission but it's probably just correctible to 20/30 or something. Anon is lying or has some serious eye problem that the AF identified but the Navy did not.
>>65487516Afaik, no. The closest thing is that modernized skullcrusher you can attach a boonie hat to. If you wanted to do that, I think you'd need a whole 3D printed assembly to mimic the PVS-5 stylings, then attach the straps to that.

>>65495458>smoking cigsThere's your problem
what has more recoil 44 magnum from a revolver with a 5" barrel or 7.62x54r from an obrez with a 2" barrel?
>>6549883644oberez is a significantly lighter projectile with mostly unburnt powder
>>65498842what if it was a 12" barrel like a contender?
I want laser engraving files for pmags that go hard, like weird spells and shit like that that disturb normies and is edgy as fuck. who sells that shit?I also want other magpul item files like the dakka box etc.
>>65496242Thanks, was hoping someone had already done it. Thinking the best why would be to make a pvs5 housing and straps and have the pvs7 insert into it.
>>65498872There's various businesses who will put anything you want on a magazine, pretty much completely indiscriminately. Oh, look at that, mysoutherntactical is still in business, I remember threads about them.
>>65498836Barrels are measured from the breech face so a 2" barrel wouldn't even cover all the brass of the cartridge.
>>65499463idk the guy messed up his sbr paperwork so I had to fudge it a little. it ended up like this.
>>65498872You should laser engrave the shotgun you use to blow your head off you fucking faggot. Are you 14?
>>65495230Any business where you are taking possession of another person's firearm requires an FFL. You should keep your mouth shut when you have no clue what you're talking about, bitch.
>>65486764not very good and it also highly depends on your area. the last gun store I worked at was in an area full of rich techbros so I charged $120/hour for labor. some jobs like installing glock sights was basically stealing and I could charge 50 bucks for 5 minutes of work. putting an ar together was $80 for just a lower or $120 for the entire rifle. on the other hand some jobs I was basically forced to underbill because it would take a whole afternoon of work but no one would actually pay $500 for fixing some shitty old gun. if you want to make money gunsmithing you need to be someone with a reputation like mark novak so you can actually bill jobs what they're worth.
>>65495662Turned 18 in 2008 and bought a nugget and spam can for ~$175 but didn't shoot often since guns are an expensive hobby when the economy is collapsing.
>>65500527I bought a hex nugget from JG Sales in either 2011 or 2012. It was $112 DELIVERED with my 03 FFL. Spam cans were $80-100.
>>65498872>go hard You have to be 18 to post here
>>65499575Right, and all "non-sporting" imported rifles must have at least 10 us made parts according to 922(r) too lmao If the OP (who mentioned "business" zero times) does it on the side as a "hobby" that he happens to make money doing, you dont need an ffl.Think about this, if a friend asks you to mount a scope on his gun for him, would you refuse him because you dont have an ffl?

I can understand the usefulness of full auto fire for immediate suppression, blind firing around corners and even doing irl gamer shit like pre firing before peeking a corner. My question is when is it viable if ever to burst fire at a target as apposed to firing semi automatically? My thought process is when you have a clear shot on a target at closer ranges you want to ensure you kill that guy as fast as possible making an accurate burst more viable than shooting semi-auto. And for longer ranges, when firing at fleeting targets, especially in a supported position, firing a burst to get a "shotgun pattern" effect to maximize the chances of a hit on the target.Is any of that legitimate or no?
>>65502206matched dust cover and fa are oos at the moment but keep in mind this is how much they could cost.https://bkingsfirearms.com/shop/bkf-b-kings-firearms/bkf-mil-spec-forward-assist-and-ejection-port-cover-sniper-grey-cerakote/
>>65502741No, at medium to long ranges semi auto will always be more accurate than bursts from full auto. Full auto's use case is suppression for maneuver, and occasionally overwhelming return fire for a retreat. Close up within 7 - 20 yds, yes I'm sure it's useful but from what I've seen most special forces guys still just use semi auto. You control the cadence so it won't run off on you and make you miss.
>>65500612Big unnecessarily chunky slide makes it recoil way more for absolutely no reason. I own a G47, G19, P10-C, M&P 9 4.25" and 5" models, CZ P-07, USP 9, and P-10F and when I tried my buddy's G19 sized PDP it felt great in the hand but felt like a 20 lb brick slamming back every shot I took compared to those listed above.
>>65500607He mention charging people to clean guns. Sounds like a business to me you slackjawed fucking retard.
Does anyone have that picture of the finnish dude screaming in a corner?
>>65501799>edgy>instagram goth-girl tier symbolism
>>65506562good, I know these mags are going to enrage you weird looking Midwestern hank hill people.
>>65478126Does 7.62NATO have an equivalent how 5.56 had .300blk? Like a necked up case meant to use shorter barrels?
>>65507559>enragedI just think what you consider "edgy" to be very surface level, pedestrian, and unremarkable. Additionally, the fact that you used the absence of a gf as an insult proves that you're simply shitposting and you dont actually have a sincere question to ask ITT. Or you're autistic.
>>65507740thats going on a mag, stallman style, Mr. >tfw no gf thank you for participating in my focus group.
>>65507849I have no idea wtf you're saying
>>65507576sort of. 8.6 blackout uses 7.62 NATO mags
>>65508045It pretty much is. Technically 8.6 is a necked up 6.5cm, which itself is a necked down .30 TC, which itself is a slightly modified .308
>>65508087neat. I don't own any 8.6 guns so I don't actually know much about it.
