Next time somebody complains about too much recoil in games, remind them that if it were more like real life, the game would be unplayable.
Well this man uses a self developed technique that he's sharing with LE and Military (of Russia). But isn't really sharing the details of his technique. Not like the average shooter can accomplish this.Quote:

Take the PPSh in Red Orchestra. It was balanced for the game. Does a PPSh have that much recoil? Fuck no, it's a tiny 7.62x25mm pistol round combined with a heavy gun.
That said, his technique is impressive, but I hope it can be used under high-stress scenarios without much thought.
recoil is for nerds - that guy, 2012
"Found" my Grampa's 1903 Springfield in the truck after hunting today. I think he just "forgot" it. The thing was sporterized in the 60's, so don't bitch. If I can find my camera, I will take some terrible pictures.
hurry up nerd
also, his in the sense of 'he brought it home', or in the sense of 'he bought it'?
Bought it in the exact state it's in in the 60's. Bought a Springfield (sporterized) an Enfield (sporterized) a Krag Jurgenson (sporterized) a M70 WInchester in .300 Mag, and a .300 Weatherby (on a Mark V) all for $50 at some guys estate sale. I think he said it was in 1966.Quote:

what degree of sporterising?
It's a Springfield, nobody minds...
I went there.
totally different stock, sights, drilled and tapped for scope mounts, etc. Not terrible, but kind of irritating now that I look at them.Quote:

Building a complete AK from one of these parts kits should cost LESS THAN $450 INCLUDING shipping and FFL fees for the receiver, buying a Nodak Spud receiver ($85 shipped + FFL fee) and an ER Shaw barrel ($70). Remember, Maadis are built on Russian tooling and are considered among the best AKs on the US market.
Also these parts kits have the cool-looking wire stocks which is awesome. I think I have to get one of these soon because I have no clue what the availability will be over the coming months.
weaver mount, m73 or repro scope, 03a4 stock and bolt handle...Quote:

it's funny cause walmart stopped selling everything but ammo and cleaning kits for the past few years
Not the ones near me...
When I lived in Charlotte, the closest Wal-Mart stopped selling "all tactical ammunition," which meant they stopped selling anything that wasn't rimfire or birdshot. They got picketed and boycotted until they started stocking all types of ammo again.
Oddly, that particular Wal-Mart always had .416 Rigby for sale. I wasn't aware Charlotte, North Carolina was a huge nexus for big game hunters.
Squirrels are vicious beasts, man...
Only just found this article (not the HK letter, the guy's response to it) but I enjoyed it lol https://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/2...d-we-hate-you/
Speaking of .416 Rigby...
Quote:
Now for the .416 Rigby tale. Actually, I've seen two of them used, albeit in different ways. Many years ago when I was a cop I got a call of a suicide. It turns out that this guy had a extensive gun collection, one of which was a .416 Rigby. For some reason that I don't remember, things had gotten bad and he decided to end it all with a bullet to the chest. Needless to say, the bullet went through him without slowing down, punched a hole in the ceiling, and blew a hole through the roof before achieving orbit around the earth. On the other side of things, the recoil blasted the butt of the gun off the floor and punched the stock about halfway through his TV set. Elvis would have been proud. Both the entrance and exit wounds were remarkably small, but I didn't get to see the autopsy so I can't report on what it did to the innards. Also, while I was a cop there was a gun store, the name of which escapes me, that specialized only in high-dollar classic guns, such as L.C. Smiths, H&H, big African doubles, and the like. One night this gun store was burglarized, and the thieves got away with some really expensive guns. Several months later a local convenience store was robbed at gunpoint and the perpetrators were caught shortly thereafter. As it turned out, the gun held on the proprietor was one of the guns taken in the burglary--a .416 Rigby that the thieves had sawed the barrel down to 18 inches. As I remember it, they didn't have any ammo for it, but somehow looking down the bore of the thing was more than enough to convince the clerk to hand over the money, which was on the order of $100. There's no telling what the gun itself was worth before these candidates for MENSA sawed it off, but I can assure you it was worth far in excess of their take. As my favorite saying goes, "Against stupidity, the gods themselves fight unvictorious."
those kinds of stories are simultaneously hilarious and horrifying
guns kill people :haw:
bullets r cancer.
Currently, I'm planning on getting a 75rd Romanian AK drum for my SKS-NR, along with a few other stick mags. However, in order for AK drums to fit in SKS variants that take AK mags, the stock around the magwell must be cut down to allow for the drum's bulky profile. It can look like this:
http://i.imgur.com/fXBnO.jpg
However, a gunsmith friend of mine assured me I only need to cut around 1/4" of the stock around the magwell to get a drum to fit. He recommended I get a cheap red fiberglass stock (there are a few on Gunbroker with upper handguards for $35), but I've been thinking something that will never hold any real collector's value. I was thinking of getting a Tapco or ATI stock and modifying that to take AK drums, as well as getting an AR-15 stock adapter. So that's my current project. First, I have to get the drum itself, which I'm going to get whenever one of my IRL friends gets enough money to buy my Wii that I haven't used in 5 years. I might just get a fiberglass stock and put an AK pistol grip where the bayonet slot is (my SKS-NR doesn't have a bayonet) for truly tactical applications. I figure that wouldn't cost me more than $50 with shipping, whereas a Tapco or ATI stock (although I would prefer one of the old Combat Exchange folders) would be significantly more.
Here's another drum fitting mod:
This one was done by someone a bit more professional and you can really tell.
My current plan is to get an ATI sidefolder and an AR-15 stock adapter that someone on another forum is making. It will end up looking a lot like this, but with a MOE stock:

I'm wondering why they didn't have quick-releases on their rappel lines... Also, LOL at the dude who almost goes over ass-backwards on the assailant. Incredibly fast recovery from that though.
Here's another video with some different angles:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqz-xcwkKsQ
Going to a gun show later today, it's been since I think April since I last gone, I shall see what my results yeild...oh wait tacticool errywhere.
I'll probably buy another Mosin Nagant with my luck...maybe
I acutely bought nothing, I saw for a change 6 Russian SKS instead of one or two. And 1 out of the 6 was a non-refurb, I wanted to pour my money into it...but I can't so I figure I'll wait till after this election since the prices are all jacked high up for now. Russian SKS's $500+...oh how I wish we had it as good as the Canadians when it comes to prices on SKS's and SVT40's but that will have to wait.
The last gun show I went to had a dealer selling Romanian AK drums for $250 and claiming they were "illegal now" so "the price is just going to continue to rise" and that paying 2.5 times as much as I could on J&G (where they are in stock) was a "good investment."
And somebody actually did buy one.
Then the guy at the taser booth decided it would be a good idea to set off all his tasers at once, creating an electric maelstrom that cleared the entire building and got him banned for life.
Welp. I am so glad these retards are allowed to own guns, let alone sell them.
Also, I had a dream last night. Well, more a nightmare. In part of it, someone really roughly stripped back the finish on my Enfield's stock and painted camo over it. Fuck it was a terrifying thought.
Still okay. Whew.
Was it digital camo?
No.Quote:

Hey Ross, what type of 7.62x54R ammo is the one to watch out for due to it being intended for machine guns only?
Answered you on Steam during the brief window it unfroze, but I'll answer again here for everyone's benefit. I also didn't realise you meant that, I thought you just meant generic machine gun ammo (type D heavy ball, yellow tip, safe to shoot except in semiautos). The "don't shoot out of rifles, ever, and in fact probably just don't even handle period" is anything with 'Ш' on the headstamp, especially if the tip is red or red/black. Anything with that headstamp is for a ShKAS (ШKAC) machine gun only and should never be fired from anything else. Red and red/black tips are explosive, IIRC, and have an internally primed PETN charge inside the bullet. They are, predictably, not very stable after 70 years.
Saw a Chink SKS at a pawn today for 250. Great looking, but doesn't have the bayonet.
Worth it?
I bought this Monday, came in earlier today.

And do I love the Yugo BHO mag, very pretty and loved the blue look, I want more. The bayonet and scabbard numbers match, grenade launching adapter doesn't even look issued.
E: Thou I has developed new problems, the lever for releasing the gas tube..snapped. Fuck. And I need to replace the gas block so I can add a new one with a bayonet lug. Might as well replace the FSB too while I'm at it.
I'm going to say no purely on principle, if it ain't got a bayonet it ain't shitQuote:

Probably a postwar E German sporter or something (though the stock is unfucked with) as I've seen Kar98k PU mounts before, but probing him for better pics anyway since it's a curiosity you don't see often. Will post here if he puts more up.

Telling that to the DEUTSCHLAND UBER ALLES, WEISSEN RASSE UBER ALLES sorts yields all sorts of fun and hilarious results, especially when you accompany it with photos.

No. It's literally just a building in the woods with signs around it saying "Hey, this is an active prison. Please stay away." It's right next to the quarry where I go and shoot guns, and right next to where I look for deer. It's called "Prison Camp", which always sounds like some kind of horror movie to me.Quote:

There are pine forests in Australia? Sounds unlikely...Quote:

They should have sold them to the Americans
where do you think our timber comes from? a lot of the area around where they live gets quite cold (as in, 8" of proper snow in october, which is mid-spring here and usually hot in other areas) so huge swathes of it are state forestQuote:

You should take your mosin pig hunting.

I heard it's pretty good stuff, though I'm not willing to throw down money for a crate...not like I do matches anyways. And the milsurp ammo I got now is accurate enough. It does me fine killing pumpkins, fruit, and the occasional racoons or possums that's trying to attack my dogs.
Wait, you have raccoons and possums that try to attack your dogs? Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?Quote:

re: possums: i know what you mean by that in the us but here they are cute fuzzy things that many people will leave fruit out for at night. they are annoying when they get into your roofspace, but they are timid and since rabies isn't a thing in australia, really not particularly scary even when startled. they also tame really easily. we had one who hung around our place for years (he got caught on the power lines eventually, poor thing) who would actually follow mum along as she came out of the house with food for him and tug on her leg with his little hands if she wasn't feeding him fast enough :-3
e: they will get into brawls with cats though, and being about the size of a 'teenage' cat and fairly strong, they can old their own quite well
Aren't the people there responsible? Why do you need a safe?
The people here are responsible and actually really awesome housemates, but safes are a requirement by law (as they should be) and must be actually, y'know, safe (again, as they should be).
I trust my housemates not to jack my shit, especially since i lock my room anyway when I'm not home, but I don't trust any asshole who might break in not to jack my shit.
Are there lots of break-ins in Aussie land?Quote:

As far as I am concerned it is irresponsible to own guns and not have somewhere secure to keep them when you are removed from your house. Over there leaving them around the house while you're home is fine, unless you have kids or an idiot in your house, but over here you would be in a world of shit if you used them on intruders so it's a waste anyway. Of course this does not stop me from filling the house with guns whenever I visit my parents, because I can't help but mindlessly fuck with them while I'm sitting on the couch (this is why I never keep anything loaded indoors and why I check them obsessively every time I pick them up). I do this more with my guns than dad's, since it seems to just be me being really yeah about holding a piece of history in my hands versus a cool but kind of inconsequential hunting rifle.
There are probably not many break-ins here compared to there. There is a lot less crime in general (part of this comes from being less than a tenth the size of America's population, but mostly it's because the country is so much better with social welfare that very few people actually end up feeling the need to do it). There does seem to be a proud Australian tradition of armed bank holdups, though.
Pretty sure Canada also requires gunsafes. I was mortified when I found out they were basically optional in the US; here there are rigid standards on them as well as the requirement to actually have one.
I think the crime thing (the last couple of years anyways) is kind of inflated by people from other countries. Our crime rate is way way down compared to any other time in American history. The difference I think is that everything gets huge publicity because of our idiotic media.Quote:

Oh I'm not saying that you guys are rife with it, I'm just saying we get less here. People get funny looks for even vaguely considering the possibility of having to defend themselves from an attacker and basically nobody seems to give a shit. As far as your average citizen goes crime may as well not exist unless you venture into a really dodgy area, in which case the same problems you see everywhere set in. Putting tons of poor people with fairly bad education and possibly some serious baggage all in the same area just to keep them away from all the middle-class and rich neighbourhoods is a bad idea? Tell me more, I had no idea! :ugh:Quote:
