Unrelated, but has anyone tried intermediate fasting? Trying to cut down about 10 pounds.
>>65543158Just eat less. If intermittent fasting i.e. skipping breakfast enables that for you, then do it.
>>65543158yes. i have more energy throughout the day when i only eat 1 meal anyway. fasting means fasting though. none of this, "oh coffee doesn't count" shit. its water only until it's time to eat.
>>65543141Test
>>65543312Isn't black coffee just 1 or 2 calories per cup?
>>65543347>NOW I want to track calorieseverytime. if it triggers an insulin response, you aren't fasting
>>65543347Yeah dont listen to that other anon, black coffee is fine. If anything it burns more calories because of the caffeine
>>65543158one pig meal a day and drink protein shakes for breakfast and lunch. You'll lose 2-3 pounds a week. First two weeks suck. But once your pass that you'll feel great
>>65543141Thank you OP. Best op pic.>>65543158One meal per day, every weekday. Mainly veggies every weekday. Get an air fryer.
>>65543347>1 or 2 calories per cupNot alot, it's from the oils. Oddly, having a technical job helps, brain power uses calories. Digging ditches or stapling shingles too, but fuck that.
o hi
>>65543479I minimize pork, but I still eat pig meals. I had a green chile pork omlet yesterday, so... guilty.
>>65543499How is the muzzle blast from that?
>>65543479I have done something like this for a month and a half now and it feels fucking awfulBut I am lighter
>>65543329hello
I hope everyone had a decent week
Went to Costco and didnt see a single Indian and only five Muslim. What does this mean?
>>65544193>didnt see a single IndianWe're fucked, our hecking econmorio is going to die and the line will not go up any more
>>65544192Indeed I did, saw most of my family and finally got my handguard in for my C308. With the proper scope rings and bipod the rifle is nearly complete, all I need to get now is an improved trigger and I'll have my dream poor man's PSG-1. I won't be a contrarian, metal/synthetic handguard+ wood stock goes incredibly hard
>>65544229Forgot pic>PoortexYeah I know but I got it for free so I'd be a fool not to use a perfectly serviceable scope. Do need to upgrade to a not shit red dot but that's something for future me to deal with, in the interim I have the irons to use
>>65544235I like Vortex
>>65544193Asking ChatGPT now. Says your laundry will be cleaner?
>>65544327So SBRs are just "R"s now?
>>65544327I'm the anon from the other thread who couldn't get the aluminum buttstock hinge expansion bolt out of my OSW. It's been a pain in the ass trying to find a 1/2 inch drive slotted socket bit that will properly fit the bolt without bubbaing it, so I'm gonna order one of those FAL buttstock removal tools with the T-handle from DSA or Arizona Response Systems and take a blowtorch to the lower trigger housing.
>>65545834Does DSA not offer a conversion from tradition stocks to para?
>>65545841They do but I'm trying to replace my para stock with their M4 adapter.
>>65545841You end up with most of a rifle in spare parts so just build a para and have 2 rifles
>>65544520yeah but full length rifes are the hard R
Hey brg. This is my first br. It shoots so flat, and groups really nicely. I'm loving it. Will probably throw a magnifier on it at some point.
>>65545849>>65545914Is there a reasonn DSA never tried to 1913 it?
>>65546046/I appreciate ar10s that have the forward assist. Is that one a piston system too?
>>65546956Yep, piston driven. i don't have any particular allegiance to piston over DI, but in this case i think the system, and probably its weight distribution especially, contribute to very little muzzle climb, to the extent that it's flatter than my AR15s.
What does "flat-shooting" mean in your vocabulary because I'm getting mixed signals.
>>65547021I don't know what else it could mean besides the cartridge having a relatively flat trajectory you don't have to compensate for drop as much. If someone uses "flat" to describe a low-recoiling gun I'd be inclined to smack them for talking stupid
>>65546354The top cover is not a structurally sound area to mount anything to, it’s just a bent piece of metal sitting in some slots, it’s not even spring loaded or anything. Like an AK is.
>>65547021>>65547089yknow what now that you mention it, I think I've picked up a bad habit of saying it to refer to minimal recoil from the customers who come into the shop where I work. I'm gonna make of point of figuring out whether it's a fuddism or guntube fan thing or what.
>All the LGS in my area have collectively decided to process 4473s for suppressors and the like for those meeting the criteria as elaborated upon in the injunction>Tfw GOA memberGuess I'm getting a Canik (really OCL) Void 762 for my SCAR 17S
>>65547204Well I guess it makes sense to mean low recoil in the way that the muzzle would remain relatively flat while firing as opposed to jumping up or jerking around. Still would be a bit weird. I think the second meaning has more recently evolved from compfags. Specifically their pistols as they want minimal muzzle rise, or in other words they want a pistol that shoots flat
I thought flat shooting was always in regards to the maximum point blank distance of a cartridge.243 Winchester shooters flatter than .308 Winchester for example
>>65547021Not 308
>>65544192Just came back from Larping as WW2 soldiers at the Midwest Largest WW2 Event. Teaching the public by day, partying with the homies and strangers in uniforms at night. One of the best weekends for weather in long time, can not complain at all.
>>65543357Who said anything about sugar?
Okay boomers, responding to the poster above you without using the reply function is a way to denigrate that poster by implying that their post doesn't even deserve a "you".If you read the post you'd see that some retard was claiming that his AR-10 has a weight distribution which makes it "shoot flat" which is retarded. I wasn't asking you your opinion on what flat shooting means, because it only means one thing and it's not a matter of opinion.
>>65547021High velocity, low drag coefficient so it maintains that velocity while in flight (is it still called flight when it doesn't generate lift?) while still being weighty enough to overcome air resistance. 6.5x55 swedish is the first that comes to my mind. Pic unrelated.
>>65547448Did you forget to post this hours ago? That anon is right, black coffee on a diet is perfectly fine.
>>65546354Stormwerkz makes a 1913 stock adapter for the FAL para iirc.
Flat is very much a matter of opinion. I could see a "flat" tomboy and say she's flat. Yet some incel fetish furry foot fag zoomer could see her and not see flat at all.
@97So you're saying coffee is good for you?
Flat is justice, regardless of what 315-posters think.
>>65547497I drank coffee the whole time I was on a diet and still do. Not him though. I’ve never mag dumped my ar10. I’ve been meaning to but I always forget the cheap ammo since it’s not loaded in mags. I should do that right now.
Loading mags on the couch is zen time.
>>65547602
>>65547323That sounds awesome. I like to buy period accurate gear to accompany my rifles. My late WWII/Korea get up is incomplete, but I always wanted to do something like that.
I was going to save this for QTDDTOT but wanted to ask my /br/others first. For those with large collections, have you been at a point where you've felt like you've lost interest in your guns and debate selling them off? I have 13 long guns now and 5 hand guns, and I only really use a third of them. Sometimes I think about downsizing, but I usually just come to the conclusion that I'll regret it.
>>65549274I sell off guns all the time, I rarely regret it and even if I do I can go out and buy another if I really miss it that bad. But honestly downsizing has been nothing but beneficial for me. It's allowed the guns I do shoot to get more ammo of higher quality and to be stored more comfortably. Not to mention the nicer optics I've been able to buy with the proceeds. If you don't shoot something and it doesn't have some super important personal story tied to it, dump it. Doesn't matter if it's run of the mill or one in a million, if you don't shoot it you don't enjoy it>But what if I break it?If you truly love a rifle you'd be glad to see it die in your hands instead of seeing it wither away in the safe
>>65549274I always ask myself when I want to get rid of something, will my kids someday be mad if I sell this? And the answer is usually yes but when it's not I get rid of it with no regrets.
>>65549274There was a time where I sold like 14 guns in one trip I didn't even care about the price I just wanted them gone. That felt great and I don't regret it at all. Sometimes I make mistakes buying guns and I don't need to carry them with me forever as some sort of punishment. Now I'm really careful about what I buy in the first place.
>>65549274variety is the spice of life! between rifles and handguns and shotguns i've got upwards of 40 guns and I just rotate through them throughout the year, taking 3 - 4 out each month. i fully admit, some only go out once a year for various reasons, while i've got a handful (2) that I don't particularly care for that'll get sold someday.
Hello /brg/ does my super vepr count as a battle rifle?I also bought my very first scope for it (lpvo) and I plan on taking it to the range to zero it. I've never zeroed a scope before and the scope is a little offset. Any tips?
>>655470217mm Rem Mag
>>65549634Some people try to do it in as few rounds as possible but don't rush, you're new. This is a .308 right?
>>65549634close enough! i've always like the look of those veprs. if i didn't have a hadar to satisfy my big boy AK needs (or if found a vepry for a real good price) i'd be on the market for one myself. and get your target setup at like 30 yards and do 3 shot groups and adjust til you're good. if you're zeroed at 30 you'll be good to go at 100
>>65549649yes its a .308>>65549660I was planning on doing 50 yards. I'm also a bit nervous about weather cause it shows heavy rain and some wind this week (south Florida)
>>65549673well, keep in mind, if the scope is really off to begin with you might not hit your target at 50 yards at all. that'll complicate things lolalso... rain isn't the end of the word if you got some cover, but strong wind could fuck with you. regardless, good luck!
>>65549423I have a bunch of guns but I mostly just look at them, play with them like they're toys, and take them apart and put them back together. I rarely shoot them because of time and money. 2 or 3 get shot once or twice a year. But I still really enjoy them.
>>65549634My advice is aim for your target through the irons and make the scope point to the same place. It'll at least get you on target which is usually the hardest and most ammo expensive part of zeroing
>>65543158Try green tea, boiling hot.
>>65543158I really need to stop putting off buy a P83
>>65550155I keep dancing around it with other gear but all roads lead to it. I should have just bought one first it would have saved some money.
>>65547686I think myself thin.>>65543498>having a technical job helps, brain power uses calories.
>>65549989Drinking super hot liquids causes throat cancer.
>>65549274I own something like 40 guns and have never sold one. And no I don't shoot all of them regularly, but a lot of them are things like preban AKs, milsurp, and discontinued imports that I would regret selling.
>>65550273Everything causes cancer, even spicy airLive a little, let the cells grow!!
>>65543141Accurized M1A or G3/G3 derived?I love the looks of the M21 but I’ve heard it’s a pain in the ass to make it precise and keep it (speaking up to 700-800m) Ideally I would like to use it to hunt and shoot at the range.
>>65551024>spicy air>chernobyl holiday
>>65551199I really couldn't ask for a better rifle than my M1A national match. On the other end, a proper match G3 derivative might be hard to achieve. Just thinking available barrel profiles and twist rates really, and installation to a lesser extent. Try to get a 5 digit SN M1A for the best possible example.
>>65551370Damn anon that’s a sexy rifle, what do you have mounted?I think I’ll throw on an m2 bipod the day I get one
>>65551404I wouldn't recommend using the M2 bipod. I changed my POI and made the rifle much less precise. It also gouged the crap out of my stock when it was folded in. When shooting I will just rest my rifle on top of my ALICE pack, but if I were to get a bipod, I would get the sadlak quad rail section that replaces the front sling swivel assembly and put on a harris bipod. I will likely do this when i eventually get a McMillan stock to replace the factor bedded stock. As far as everything else, I have a bradley cheek riser, a sadlak airborne scope mount, a vortex viper PST gen II 3-15 scope, and the rifle is a 1993 M1A national match I got at a gun show for $1,700 a year ago. I consider myself really lucky to have it, its a very accurate rifle and reliable as long as I don't change shit with it. It did not like the GI synthetic stock I put on it, and when I had an EBR chassis, took some work to get right. Definitely more accurate than I am. I also owned a loaded M1A years ago that was produced much more recently, that rifle was fine too. HK91 derivatives are great though, and do perform better with M80 ball than my M1A does with it, though their twist rates aren't optimized for match ammo like an M1A with a match barrel.

>>65543158Have you tried meth? All I'm saying is, I've never seen a fat meth user. Probably because it's harder to eat with so many teeth missing
>>65552249Its just an appetite suppressant in general
>>65552324Aren't all stimulants appetite suppressors? At least all the ones I can think of do it
>>65552000>>65552249In my line of work neither of those are options haha. In any case it's all a discipline issue. Its just like one day I woke up and all of my pants shrunk a size. >>65552329I was so skinny when I smoked.

>>65554917hey bro how many m14 mags and rounds did they carry in nam? im seeing 4 - 5 mags and the rest stripper clips.
>>65554942No idea but in the 4+1 sounds reasonable. In the 1956 pouches you can only hold two per , and the Marine M1961 pouches would only hold a single mag.
>CMP expecting M14 sales to start no sooner than January
Just bought an 18" PTR GI yesterday, and I have an HK manual coming in as well. Is there anything specific concerning quirks I should know about? This is my first ever battle rifle after shooting only ARs.
>>65556182Don't use any brass you plan on reloading. Will wreck the casings
>>65556182The bolt can be locked back when you have it out for cleaning, making it impossible to put back in if you don't unlock it. All you need to do is twist the bolt, slide it forward, and twist it back. It's simple but it tripped me up the first time I cleaned a C308
>>65556190I don't reload, though I should definitely learn toThanks for the heads up
>>65556196You can also just use a vice to depress the rollers. The bolt rotation trick only works on bolts that aren't super tight.
Argie FAL kits on the menu?
>>65555558When are they gonna post some fukken pictures
>>65546046Nice anon.
>>65543158First couple weeks will be hell. But you will get used to the hunger pains, and it'll recondition your brain behavior from needing to eat the moment your stomach growls. It will also fuck with your social life, though, you'll come to a point where your hanging with family or friends and you're in your no-eat hour and everyone else is eating.

Planning on selling all of my BRs except one. Three options of what I want to keep/get are:>Keep Garand in 308 if I move out of state here in the next 6-8 months since it'll be ban legal>Keep my 50.61 FAL if I don't and also don't feel like building another FAL>Build Lebanese FAL since I have the build tools, the 50.61 is DSA madeIsraeli FAL I have is gone no matter what. While it is on a forged receiver and it is unique, the are early FAL features on it have gotten annoying to me. I really always just wanted a 50.00 FAL at the time when I built it, it was the cheapest way to get a FAL. Now I see a chance to maybe sell it for a decent amount of money and build another FAL and still have money back in my pocket. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
>>65558291Keep the 50.61 100%>>65557725Is this some milsim stuff?
>>65556552God willing!
>>65557725I don’t have friends or family. Just guns.
Are the reliability issues with the CMP .308 Garands a dealbreaker? Don't really want one in 30-06 because I don't have anything else chambered in it.
>>65558569Mine has never jammed besides issues with some clips that had very rough parkerization. My biggest issue with my CMP .308 is that I have to have the rear sight offset very far to the left to zero it.
>>65558569It's just beautiful, isn't it?
poorfag here, looking at potentially getting a polytech m14 if i can snag one for cheap enough. is there any reason i couldn't just mill out the postban fake flash hider if i got one? that seems easier than breaking the welds
>>65559584do you have a mill?mill and poorfag do not go togetherthough if your uncle or whatever has one that they let you use yeah you could use it. it could work for that task but it seems like overkill to break a weld.
>>65559584>just mill out the postban fake flash hiderDo you think this will ruin the bbl harmonics and why not?
>>65559584I mean why not just buy a normal flash hider? Is it fixed in place?
>>65559609>mill and poorfag do not go togetheri have access to various tools that such an operation could be done with.>>65559632as far as i can tell based on forum posts, they're welded into place with a couple weak tack welds, but if i can convert the existing faux-flash hider rather than having to remove the old one and affix a new one, that seems rather easier.
>>65559628i don't think it'll make much difference if any.
>>65559637I dunno, I think just breaking the welds would be easier but then again I'm not a machinist so I'm probably wrong
>>65559652it might be for some people but i don't think i have the tools to do that job or feel like it, but i do have the stuff to cut out the solid flashhider
>>65559668if your comfortable using a mill for that go for it. but it sounds like a guy using a chainsaw to cut a chopstick in half cause he doesnt trust himself with a tiny swissarmy knife.both will get it cut so go nuts man.
>>65559584Mill? Just use a dremel, dummy. That's I what did for my Polytech, and I was able to savage the castle nut as well. Those flash hiders are tack weld at the bottom by the bayonet lug, just cut enough without going overboard and use torque to break the weld.
>>65559668>i do have the stuff to cut out the solid flashhiderLeave the flash hider alone, Bubba.
>>65558291>always just wanted a 50.00 FALMy nigga.Anyway, if the 50.61 works well I wouldn't mind keeping that one. ParaFALs are as sexy as plain Jane ones imo.>>65558339>is this milsimI don't know, I'd say innawoods larping. It was an event involving hiking to hilltops over 1000 m and using milsurp radios to call as many other groups of retards as possible overnight. Doing it with guns'n'gear = extra fun.
7 days into intermittent fasting. I have lost 2 pounds, my resting heart rate went from the upper 50s to low 40s, and the headaches went away like 3 days ago. I had pizza last night though. 3 pounds to my initial goal, 7 to my optimal goal. Also, I acquired a MAK-90. >>65560460That sounds fun as hell. I always wanted to do something like that but I'm afraid I'll scare people.
>>65543141Goodmorning fellow br chads
>>65560695>afraid I'll scare peopleYou already scare people, just have fun.
>>65560723>You already scare peopleDamn I just knew that would be the first response.
Are DMRs just a subcategory of battle rifles? Honest question.
>>65560811pretty much?i think of a battle rifle as a full/semi auto rifle firing a full size cartridge (removable magazine is nice but not required) and that is meant for general issue to your soldiers. a DMR rifle isn't mean to be issued to everyone. if you do give everyone a DMR... it has now become a battle rifle.
>>65560811Scoped battle rifles.
>>65560695>afraid I'll scare peopleI thought larping innawoods was legal in 'murica so you shouln't have to worry.Anyway, do proper planning, pick empty area, avoid people. If you do ran into someone, just don't sperg out, walk right by, say hi, carry on...

Convince me to NOT put my 1980's national match M1A into an ebr stock
>>65565123It’s literally just going to make it worse in several ways.
>>65565123If you like the EBR, then do it
>>65565262How so?
13in Deadshot SCAR 17 barrel is calling me...Perhaps I will build a new barrel entirely to be a suppressor host
Is it just me or do metric FAL mags really suck? What were they thinking with that tiny locking lug?
>>65565123>>65565262I had my NM M1A in an EBR chassis before I ultimately put it back into it's original stock. It initially made my 1/sub MOA gun into a 3 MOA gun, evidently some screws backed out even when torqued to spec, I retorqued it, applied blue loctite and adjusted the barrel whip screw and it restored the accuracy. Otherwise it was very front heavy, but did make it easier to mount a bipod, and would have made it possible to mount an IR laser. If I ever get a 18" or 16" version of the M1A I will probably put it in the chassis because I still thought it was cool as shit. The only thing I would have done differently is not used the sage cantilever mount, it's quick detach but supposedly doesn't hold the zero after removal. But I got it because my sadlak mount was too long and wouldn't clear the rail. Also don't forget to get a trigger shoe! It makes the trigger pull much better.

Redpill me on the Molot Vepr. I like AKs and I like .308.
>>65566827In 2007 you could buy as many as you wanted for $299
>>65567044Sounds like it’s probably shit then yeah?
>>65554917>>65548343I like these enough to download, gj
>>65567070$299 back then was enough to buy six houses.
>>65567070Same price as a russian ak74 in 07
>>65567070You have to understand that between 2004 and 2009. The gun market was magical (except for ARs)
>>65567098And a Vietnamese mail in bride. You'd have to downsize to 5 houses if you wanted a Ukrainian or Belarussian
>>65567110God take me back.
>>65567084Thanks! I'm very proud of them
>>65567105>Mfw turned 18 in 2010Fuck being born in the 90s I fucking hate this shit fuck fuck fuck fuck
>>65567118Ayy I turned 21 that year, we both had milestones. But yeah I was broke as shit all I had was an 870 and a mauser which in retrospect would cost a lot more now.
>>65567098>>65567103>>65567105>>65567110>>65567112>>65567118>>65567124So is it a shit rifle or nah?
Anyone have experience with with the PSA Sabre in 308?
>>65556182>mfw not adjusting well to the Azeri air
>>65567129Nah.
>>65567129Nah, it's aight
>>65565791neat. i don't like the m14 that much but the EBR rocks
>>65567129/akg/ will tell you each one was hand assembled with the spirit of Mikhail Kalashnikov himself and the guiding hand of Eugene Stoner
>>65543158Yep. It works really well. Keep a 3 - 4 eating windows at the time you usually have dinner, fast the rest of the day. Get plenty of water.It will fix a lot of things also while you are losing weight. You are giving much more time to the body to repair, specially your gut. So it has a lot of benefits if you do it for a month or so.
>>65567969* 3 - 4 hour eating window
>>65567129It's good but ugly as sin so nobody wanted them back when they were available. You have to do a lot of work to make them look like "real" AKs so just know what you're getting into if you do buy one. At this point it's probably better to just leave it as-is since they are preban collector's items.
>>65566827ak+.308 good
>>65567118If you think that sucks imagine being born in 2008
>>65569056nta but I'm taking some classes at a college right now. It's really fucking bad out there for you guys. A lot of people try to act like things aren't that different but this is absolutely not the way things were 20 years ago. I don't know what exactly happened but it has already happened and it's over, we're in freefall right now and I'm not sure what happens when we land. Sorry to be a doomer but it seems like everyone is downplaying what you guys are going through because they went through stuff of their own when they were young. It's not the same.
>>65569074>the west has fallen and billions must dieThis silly meme phrase becomes more sobering every day
>>65569179I'm not saying that. But when they snap I will say I told you so.
>>65569074>It's really fucking bad out there for you guys. A lot of people try to act like things aren't that different but this is absolutely not the way things were 20 years ago.97 Zoomer/Bitchennial here. I always like to remind Boomers and other old fucks for selling out their kids and grandkids future for "cheap" Mexican made pickups and so they can make 100% equity on their house. Almost 30 years old and still living in my parents, driving the same shitbox I got in high school, and slowly getting back on the dating market. Shit's so fuck amongst friends and family my age, I only know one person who has gotten marry, and they been married for 2 years now and still no kids. Pandora's Box is about to be opened if nothing changes. That said I'm still hopeful that good will win out over evil in the end and it might be coming sooner than later. If you don't have hope, what's the point of living.
>>65569324Whenever things feel rough I just pick up my FAL and hold it for a bit and then everything feels a little bit better
>>65569335Just thinking about my rifle put my mind at ease. It's in the other room so I can't see it from here.
>>65569324>Shit's so fuck>one person who has gotten marry>they been marriedan dey bin marry fo to yees na
>>65569335I like to pick up my rifles and say "pew pew" when im bored.
>>65569404Kek, shit sounds great in your head until you actually type it. Need to spend more time on proof reading my work before posting it and sounding like a retarded nigger.
mornin
Any gulf coast bros getting ready for that hurricane? I live right in it's path. Also, does anyone have a picture of the guy holding a FAL after Katrina? I tried finding it, but search engines are too enshittified to load anything relevant.
>>65571102We're getting hit by the other one this weekend. Yeah I'm getting ready, getting packed up to go camping after work tomorrow. I'm a little disappointed though, I took some stuff off of a chest rig and made this expanded hydration pack but now I'm down a chest rig and I can't really wear this with a pack on. I guess I could move the pouches back over just for the weekend but I really don't want to do that. Every time I think I'm done buying gear something else comes up.
>>65571187Hire a sherpa. Make her a cutie
>>65571197A mag slave would be pretty cool.
>>65571214I prefer ammo goblins myself, they seem to be a bit more competent.
If you're dipping into .308 BRs for the first time, are there any recommendations?
>>65571248PTR or FAL
>>65571322nta but is it true ptrs are around 1-2 moa? I always heard they were inaccurate but that is totally acceptable to me.
>>65571326slightly worse than that but yes its its fine moa for out the box cold war tech. Its not an issue
>>65571334The weight isn't bad either since I won't be loading it down with accessories. Can I get a qrd on the different lengths/variants? Normally I would go straight for the wood but I like these green plastic ones I'm seeing.
>>65571342Just go with the PTR GIR. Don't have to worry about finding a good clamp mount and the green polymer furniture is classic. If you are inclined down the road to pay out the ass for surpluss wood furniture go for it. Thats why I did and it looks super pretty now.
>>65571475>pay out the ass for surpluss wood furnitureBut CETME furniture sets are like 80 bucks tops. 150 if you buy a whole parts kit just for the furniture
>>65571236I went back to my dr5k setup. It means I have to use a standalone hydration carrier which adds a set of straps but it's really not that bad, they're both thin on this.
>>65571248AR-10 clones are basically just AR-15s in .30 cal, you can't really go wrong and they are incredibly easy to get optics forFN FAL clones are heavy and expensive and have that weird non-reciprocating bolt handle that agitates my autism but there's nothing wrong with em, and most of em these days have rails for attaching accessoriesHK G3 clones are gucci af but you need to spend extra to get leverage on that dogshit charging handle which requires the force of Hercules the Legendary Journeys and Xena Warrior Princess combined to rock without it eating your hand, it's not very expensive to switch out but you need to do it because the stock ones are fucking horribleM14 clones are another thing that's almost impossible to ruin but they're expensive as hell (not as bad as FALs) and you can typically find accessories pretty easilyif you got the money, get a Springfield M1A or DSA SA58if you don't got the money but have the biceps, get a PTR91if you don't got the money or the biceps, get an AR10-t. has the M1A and PTR
>>65571514>if you don't got the money or the biceps, get an AR10My shit is 16 lbs loaded. Add another 5 for the tripod.
>>65571539yeah but the charging handle takes what, 2.5lb of pressure? 4lb max? the rollers on a PTR need like 16-20lb of force to get moving and you'll lose the skin of your palm getting it
>>65571569I'll have to see if I can find one for sale and rack it before the clerk gets mad.
>>65571579Im talking about the tiny barebones one that comes out of the factory, if you get one of the extenders it's much easier to get a purchase on it without getting the outside of your hand chewed off
>>65571596I want the full experience so I'll keep an eye on it to make sure it's the small one. Assuming I can even find one in stock. The place I would have assumed had one has no ptr products except some 7" pump action 12 gauge.
>>65571488>CETME furnitureget real g3 wood furniture
>>65571248I'd always recommend getting a PTR for your first BR. Cheapest mags, most reliable, and relatively the easiest to modify. Try to get an earlier PTR though. FALs can be finicky and their magazines are extremely expensive now. M1As/M14 derivatives are likewise finicky and have expensive magazines, though I seem to have good luck with them.
>>65571514>Hercules the Legendary Journeys and Xena Warrior PrincessMore of a Gabby fan, myself.
>>65571539>My shit is 16 lbs loadedSrsly, AR10s can be light, but don't assume they all are.
>>65571737My dad hid a framed poster of Xena in his closet when he met my mom. She found it but they still got married.
>>65571579>rack it before the clerk gets mad.I field stripped a Colt SP1 in Kmart and the clerk just watched, I had never done it and just figured it out. How things have changed.
>>65571742>a true closet fanStill would.
>>65571744>Kmart>How things have changed.Well yeah that was ancient times. I don't think I've seen a kmart in 20 years. >>65571747If that's her I still would too. I hit on a lady at work who looks about like that just different hair.
>>65571747>When some of your earliest fap material curdles
>>65571767>curdlesThe eggs are stale, but she hasn't gone under the knife and that's a plus. I mean, she's out of eggs by now.
Fasting bro following up. Back down to my original weight of 180, gonna push to 175.
>>65572642Stay strong, stay hungry, sharpen the edge!
>>65572642Nice. I'm 165 right now down from 240. I mag dumped the other day and my gun pushes me around now. Dunno how to feel about that.
>>65571248Wait for the CMP M14s at this point unless you want something tactical and modern.
>>65572727I dumped the other day and lost a 1/2#!
>>65572871I always forget to weigh myself before a shit.

You guys know of any battle rifles with a mannlicher setup? >>65543158That's my lifestyle. Works great, works perfectly if you get some daily cardio in.Easier to start if you use grapefruit pectin tablets.
>>65571488CETME furniture is a lot of work and hardware from being PTR-compatible, Hitler.

>>65574659If 20 are dead and there were 7+Congolese and 1 Kiwi then were the other 12 enemies?
hows the B&T RBS 762ti? I unfortunately have a lot of Surefire QD muzzle breaks so I kind of want to stay in that ecosystem
>>65576358Same but arent the SF cans trash nowadays?
Since the Precision general is MIA, is it true you need to spend about as much on a scope as you did the rifle you're strapping it to?
>>65574173>autistic >she starts shooting it rambo style from the hip>misses bermSounds like you had to sex her afterwards. Good man.
>>65576399Outside of the RC4 they are not great. Luckily B&T is compatible and im need to look into the Surefire QB hub attachemeny for other suppressor
>>65576440It was once a great rule of thumb, but the state of manufacturing has advanced beyond that, inmo. But, nothing beats brando.
We can stipulate that the only flaw in the M14 is control ability under full auto. So how do we add FRT to M1A?
>>65576440I agree with anon. You can do a lot with less these days but also there are plenty of good options that don't break the bank.
Does this NFA shit do anything for us? I just realized I have two (really three) partial builds I can't do shit with currently because I am waiting on parts and so I am very tempted to spend dumb money to make myself feel better.
>>65571248...I have an opinion on this, but I suspect I'll be eaten alive. Especially because you'll have to spend a lot of money to get away from the Fudd DNA.
>>65576562Short barrel 308s with cansURBAN BR BUILD
>>65576562As long as youre in the green your good 2 go
>>65576574I've considered this, long as you go with a decent barrel length you still get barrier pen benefits over 7.62x39.
>>65576562I'll probably do an 8.6blk build now.
>>65576637I meant more does this open the door for battle rifle autists in a way that it previously wasn't open? SBRing a BR feels wrong, but I'm not going to yuck someone else's yum.
>>6557664113", 1/10 or 1/12 twist rate are the sweet spot imo for a SBR 308>>65576637FEELS GOOD BEING GREEN
>>6557701513" sounds about right, I've got an M92 and its hard to beat it for 30 cal with a 10 inch barrel. I need to get a good hub mount .308 suppressor though for my 16" FAL carbine before I mess with 13".
>>65576987we can use 13" uppers to get the same results of an 18" upper for BRs designed for hybrid rounds
>>65576440Vortex viper gen II 3-15x has never done me wrong. I'll never punch out over 1k and I have the 5-25x too but the latter is pushing the edges of visibility. Vortex's problem is it is a crapshoot if your scope throw ring is pleasant, my 1-6sfp i got during COVID is almost seized and stuck at this point.
>>65577721I have the 2-10 and really like it. Glass quality is not an issue for me, really nothing is since I'm a fairly casual shooter. The illumination is not very bright at all but again I'm a casual so I don't even use it during the day and when it's darker out it's just fine. The viper line is g2g as far as I'm concerned.
>>65576440>>65577721I should have mentioned that currently I'm just using a Sig Tango MSR 1-6. It works, but it definitely feels like it's missing something
>>65577065>SigPlease tell me you're not talking about the the Spear
>>65578288Hell no. Waiting for a proper AR or Scar clone design led to handle the extra pressure

>>65584211
>>65563157fireforms back out in the instant that matters, only to be dented again on the way outthe circle of life
My power is back on. I missed you guys. >>65571488Checked and yeah I had issues fitting a cetme stock to my PTR >>65543158 pic rel. The handguard was fine but the stock was very wobbly.
21 hours...
>>65584819>power is backAnd my 2 bans and 1 warning have expired. So... hi!
>>65586726Damn what did you do?
>>65586800>they hated him because he told the truthJannie got a bee in thier bottom.
I really want a G3K clone, preferably one with a CHF barrel, but $3000 is too much to stomach.
>>65588690so build out a cetme-k on an rcm barrelsell your full length barrel to some goober that bought a bunch of barrelless kits
>>65571722>FALs can be finicky and their magazines are extremely expensive nowDSA and United Defense (korean?) still make metal 20 rd metric mags for $35~ a pop. I had to file a few from both down a little on the mag catch lips, but overall, they worked fine.Otherwise, it's $50+ a pop for old surplus in various conditions.
>>65588693Unfortunately I don't have the space to acquire all the tools and learn how to weld and re-finish right now. PBS has a nicely built G3K clone ready to go for $2900 right now, but that dream is out of reach for the moment. Saving up for CMP's M14 release, which would complete my NATO BR trifecta.
>>65588707>Unfortunately I don't have the space to acquire all the tools and learn how to weld and re-finish right now.big gay, straighten out your prioritiestig welder is perfect for an apartment bedroom shop
>>65588724>ban-era FALif it were a hesse it woulda been "held on" with lead plumbing solder
>>65588712>>65588712>tig welder is perfect for an apartment bedroom shopIt's funny you say that, I was at one point considering buying a MAP torch and trying to get the soldered tapco brake off my ban-era FAL in my small apartment with inter-connected fire alarm and sprinkler system.Then realized it would've been pretty dumb. Went with DSA to get it off, 2 weeks of them trying and calling me to tell me it was the most thoroughly soldered brake they've encountered, so I just got it cut down and gas port opened a little. Shoots great. >>65588690The other option is I sell my PTR 18", buy a PTR K3P for $1600~, shoot it and have fun, then do a RCM barrel swap down the line.
>>65588729No, early DS LMT receiver with a Steyr kit. Hence why I didn't want to fuck up the barrel HT and elected to get it cut instead. It just appeared in my LGS, for $1500, and there wasn't even brass marks on the ejection area, was told by the store employee some old dude liquidated everything in his safe.Funny enough, there's a guy 1 hour from me selling another FAL built on an Imbel receiver with what looks like an early "Kal" FN barrel/bolt for about the same price, so I guess if I really want that 21" FAL, I could just drop the cash for that.
>>65586800who literally thought it would be a good idea to bridge the optic mount between the handguard and stripper clip guide? i refuse to do it on mine even if it makes it more clone correct.
>>65571248maybe
>>65588781Yeah its not a great mount. It held zero but I should have just cut down my sadlak a tad or get the sadlak EBR mount.
>>65589031i kinda want to run mine without the handguard entirely because it takes off 1-2 pounds
>>65589238Hmm now that I think about it the receiver doesn't interface with the upper handguard at all
>>65589255what could possibly go wrong? dont even have to deal with that barrel whip screw anymore which is a spotty theory at best
>>65588842Neato.
>>65589275Neat look. It looks almost like a BAR.

Tried on some overwhites today. I'm pretty happy with them. Wish I could have gotten the matching jacket but they discontinued that pattern completely.
