Man, for a guy who said "I'm not a big fan of AK's" it's all I'm posting here.

Safety is optional when you gotta commit a few war crimes with a piece of metal from the 50's lmao

AKB-23 bullup conversion for BRN-180


Vantage Point Armory Rail Mounted Compensator. Unlike other rail mounted compensators there is no dimensional change when used with a weaponlight because the compensator replaces the mount for the light. The design has earned the apporoval of none other than Ernest Langdon of Langdon Tactical Technologies who is now incorporates the item into pistols his company sells


Desert Tech has managed to remove 51 parts from their next generation not an MDR rifle

Things used to be different back in the day, and not in a way that was better
"Yeah man I have a rail system on my AR, never loses zero either"

Look at what it needs to even remotely approach being good, lmao.

Are you a second amendment enthusiast? do you want your bitch wife to stop bothering you when she needs to open a pickle jar? XS Sights has a solution!

Not to be left out, the Swedes have thrown in their hat in regards to really tall optic mounts with integrated LAM mounts

Bullpup M-14


Beretta M1951R in a "Lehman" or "Dillinger" Configuration


Tommybuilt MP7 (Hope you're ready to to part with like, $9k if you want one)


Recently there was a relatively large bust regarding 3D Printed firearms in Sweden

"Curses upon the Soviet Military Industrial Complex, for they never developed a beltfed 5.45!"


Russian Accessory manufacturer Zenitco has a new rail system for AKS-74u pattern rifles (bottom)


Experimental Vepr-1 marksman rifle, would eventually be developed into the Vepr assault rifle (which was made by Ukranian NASA???)


Through video games you might have been exposed to Bullpup PKM/PKP's. But have you ever seen a Bullpup PKT Tank machinegun?

Now what I don't understand is that these guys are apparently Ukrainian special forces, so I don't really understand what's going on here. Like, you can requisition a PKM or captured PKP and bullpup it or just request a 240L or MG5, you don't have to weld a bike frame to a scavenged PKT (although the PKT's solenoid firing mechanism could allow for a potentially superior trigger pull)

This discussion of Trijicon battery ACOGs comes at an opportune time. I've felt a TA110, their 3.5x35 led model, on order but I'm having second thoughts. Why not just go with an LPVO and benefit from multiple magnification? That being said, the acog will be lighter and probably tougher than what's in my price range. Not sold either way tbh.

What's your budget for a magnified optic?

I just watched TFB's video on the 1854, and I was very excited until I learned they're charging $1200 for the plastic 1854 and $3500 for the nice one.
I think most lever autists will stick with Marlin or Henry.

Tactical lever guns are a thing I just don't get. To me, that's like if someone such as Agency Arms took a Ruger Vaquero and customized it similarly to how they do Glocks. Well, kinda. You know what I mean.

I guess the AC0G needs to be sighted at a certain range and pretty much makes it convenient by making it simpler to pick up and ready to go.

While the LVPO would help with long distance shooting.

Are you talking about zeroing the optic and using the subtensions for other known distances?

Ok now you got my attention Beretta a beefed up PX4 but jesus fuck you want over 800 for it? Shit down at my local mom and pop they got the original for almost half that at like 439 and even cheaper used in 40 or for that kind of money I can just get one of the new MRO ready M9A3's.

When the price starts getting up that high for a stock model I'd opt for spending a bit more and getting the LTT version of it. Those folks really know their stuff.

$1500ish dollareedoos, im willing to go up too depending. It's just a base atm. I'm thinking of picking up a sig tango msr and maybe a swampfox trihawk and just seeing which I like running better between lpvo or fixed prism tbh

 

[FamicomGorby]

Jeebus.
Some folks treat a gun like it's made of glass and paper right up until you actually shoot it.

Personally I think of it as there's honest wear and then there's being careless. Like I don't expect a gun to be perfect and will wear when used but that doesn't mean I'm gonna drag it along a gravel road.

You could get a Trijicon Credo 1-6 sfp with a nice mount for that price. Similar BDC to the TA110 m193 Acog. Got one over the holidays, but I haven't had the chance to take it out to distance yet.

 

[MrJokerRager]

Yeah, something like that.

Some optics advertise themselves for a specific round.

 

[Smokingpoop]

Do yall ever buy from grabagun.com? or whats yalls thoughts on online firearm retailers?

Well yes.
I'm not saying that it's ok to just abuse your tools.

 

[Romulus augustulus]

Guns last forever if cared for. I've got (most) of a colt 1851 navy revolver made in about 1854 that i'll happily shoot if i ever get around to buying the parts i need.

might just sell it though.

I can make two recommendations. This one can be had for $1349 right now and EuroOptic will offer free expedited shipping. I have two of them and while they work well, the reticle at lower power is not good. The second one I do not personally own but I've looked through one and I was impressed.

LPVOs are an almost textbook case of "there's always compromises" and "you get what you pay for." Still, I think to noticeably surpass these two scopes one has to pay a lot more and I don't believe the performance gap is particularly large.

I've bought from them, Bud's, Gunbroker, Cheaper Than Dirt, and Oakhill Guns (these guys have excellent prices and selection for CZ pistols and they ship fast). If you have a local FFL that you have a good relationship with, especially if it nets you a lower transfer cost, you will save yourself a lot of money.

A Vudu has been on my mind, yeah. I'll look into the other one, I've never heard of it. I suppose it's some European manufacturer?

so what sort of hell on earth am i in for if i want to get some HK style sights on a rail? am i stuck with those 400 dollar sets built for a 416?

Buy a set of Troy Industries BattleSight backup iron sights. They have M4 and HK style sights. The set will run you about $200ish.

HK416 rail height above bore differs from the typical AR-15. unless you actually have a receiver and rail with HK416 specs in mind, stick with HK-style AR-15 sights and not actual HK416 sights. Centurion, Troy, Samson Mfg, Aero, et c all make a variation of them, some better than others. i prefer the Troy Industries one.

 

[Pignat]

I guess Aero is coming out with a levergun next year, it looks even worse than Smith and Wessons.
Are gun companies really that out of touch that they'll retool a factory to churn out something nobody asked for? Most cowboy action and levergun enthusiasts want it for an aesthetic reasons, blued steel and walnut stock. Some more practical minded people like a stainless steel and laminate stock, but I've never seen anyone ask for a plastic stock on a levergun.

 

[Trennschleifer]

Do we have any based Euro-Gun Owners here?
