Mega Rad Gun Thread

looks like it was painted or something rather than plated or epoxy painted at the factory. the markings are very soft, as are the edges. i'm assuming you're going melt off the cosmoline later and this was a fitting of parts to see what if anything is missing.
I'm 99% sure it's matte stainless steel. Yeah I put it together to see if anything was missing. It seems like it's all there except the mag.
 
matte stainless steel
stainless will generally have a striated grain traveling in the same direction because of how the chromium aligns with nickel to create the grains. even when matte after stoning will have a paper-like quality that isn't that soft. could be just the lighting though, or it has a clear epoxy or urethane on top for protection from ammonia cleaners. it's a neat look on what's classically a blued or paint-over-park finish.

scratchy matte is like 120 grit after hot rolling, brushed uses a 120 grit wet stone and is often easily achieved with a 220 belt sander if you're gentle and keep things straight with a guide. matte at the bottom is done after cold rolling and stoning to break up the pits and peaks, then knocked back with an acid to soften the formed oxides and break up hard reflections.

unless it was marked with proof stamps before finishing (very weird in a factory setting or even in a gunsmith's setting) the stampings should remain crisp even after stoning and acid washing.

below is matte stainless S&W model 67, note the sharpness of the stamping for the logo and lettering. now to be completely fair, it's a different manufacturer, and S&W uses a die press for the logo on the side plate and a roller press for the maker's mark on the frame. however a CZ made in the late 80's to 90's should be quite similar vs something from the 1970's that was hand-stamped for marks and they were still figuring out electroless plating (SIG Sauer for example).

below is a Colt New Police from the early 1950's (probably 51 or 52), 3rd issue. note the crispness of the stamping that's a bit soft in the middle - this is the hallmark of a die press. a punch will be pretty strong all throughout. this is not refinished, but an original Colt blue.

this is the same gun model (not same gun) that was refinished with some care taken to not mess with the rampant pony stamping. note the softness.

this is a colt 1911 plated by an aftermarket company that did a pretty good job. note the slight "halo" around the rollmarked patent info and maker's mark as they avoided these areas with too much metal work to preserve the markings.

I'm so confused. Wouldn't Josh just get killed by someone when he is doing the groceries, or by the pizza guy, or by a car bomb. All seem so much easier than an action film gun fight. None of the leaked reality clips of south america hits are kills from proper gun fights, it's just someone doing something banal then bye bye. I don't know why anyone in real life would do a hit via a boss battle at the boss's dungeon like a max payne video game, and if someone really wanted a home confrontation then set the house on fire and run him over...

Scouring the United States looking for a fat white guy is like looking for a needle in a stack of needles. Nobody would even know what he currently looks like.
 
Is there a de facto standard for brand when it comes to ear protection? I've heard there are earphones which can filter out loud noises while passing through voices and shit, but I don't know if those are memes.
Most the Walker ones do that, I think it's more that they clip the volune at a certain level but they do good. They're cheap, I don't think they're stereo(could be a deal breaker) and I've had good experiences with mine for the most part. Also big head club and not had any issues with them. I think I have the "razor" set.

Never underestimate weaponized autism especially when they want something found, they found Lucas based off a doorknob and bedsheets, Shia LeBoufs faggy flag by the day/night cycle, the stars and directions of travel of jet planes and honking a horn. They could find Jersh with a little social engineering.

They can't even find a doctor who can cut their dicks off without it making them fart out of the new hole
 
Exactly. It's a matter of convenience. What's easier, sneaking onto someone's property and breaking into their home without tripping any security system they might have so that you can ice them, or just following them to the supermarket and blasting them in the parking lot?

If one wants to simply murder someone and they have a bit of training, they're unlikely to wait until their target is inside a building/residence. It's far, far easier to get the target while they're outside otherwise engaged. Hit them while they're parking their car, pull up next to them at an intersection and light them up while they're stopped (have to run the red light usually), shoot them while they're in line to order something, ambush them in a parking structure, etc. This isn't to say that Josh need not concern himself with troons LARPing as commandos who find out where he lives, rather public exposure means we all need to keep our situational awareness skills sharp.

Hopefully he's began his fitness journey by the time he moves back. He'll be easy as fuck to find no matter what, though. Just look for the guy with a few feedee sex workers around him. That can't be that common.

My money is him going to Florida. At least he'll have Castle Doctrine. No duty to retreat baby! Just mag dump and simply say (with an attorney) that you feared for your life.
 
I want to learn more about guns but I know nothing about them, what channels do you guys use to learn about different ammo types and how to safely use and maintain a firearm
I just get blood transfusions from Americans, once it cycles into the brain I learn a lot. Also I read Club Sandwich posts.
 
You seem like the type of guy that would own a sawed-off Hakim.
As a Hakim owner it might not be any worse to shoot as it already is.

So they moved this, I'll probably forget a lot more and I'm not super active. So forgive me, always feel free to ping me.

Aside that all, I am on a mixed vac/staycation and I hit Sarco up. I was a good boy walked out spending less than 100, despite ready to spend more. I have an odd draw I think my next will be a Star of sorts but really want an Astra.

Just come here, safety is a meme. Jokes aside, lot of channels, basic gun safety is the 4 rules. Roughly speaking every gun is loaded finger off the fucking trigger till you need it, know what's behind your target and don't point the damn thing.

second, @Club Sandwich is a very nice and incredibly educated posted, don't listen to how humble and polite he is. He is one of 7 people who can bullet time like the matrix IRL.

What kind of guns are you into?

100% this.

On my original post (which feels like 100 pages ago) I made a point to stress that by far the most important gun is the one you have on you, if the troons are going to hit they are going to wait for a moment where Heer Sneedler is outside buying pizza for pizza day and ambush him there, either while he's on his car or when he's leaving/getting into it.

Transitional points are where you are always at your weakest, so putting groceries in your car, getting out of your house, these are all scenarios where 85IQ brown thiefs wait for you to be distracted and occupied to strike quickly, and that's just for robbing you let alone some 115 IQ programmer socks tranny.

What can be done to mitigate such things? Well the most important by far is carry a gun on you at all times, have good situational awareness to detect weird things out of the ordinary (living in South America you develop a pavlovian response of reaching for your gun if you see two niggers on a motorcycle without helmets) and train hard!

Not just training defensive shooting and driving but especially learn how to do basic first aid, winning a gunfight isn't really all that good if you die because you don't know how to pack a wound or use a TQ.

@Null if you'd like I can send you some resources in private for courses you can attend in Europe.
 
@Bassomatic im interested in pistols id like something not too expensive that doesnt jam and ammo thats not too expensive. I just want to use it for home defense and shooting at a range. So far I think the glock is the one im interested in but I dont know what model to get

That's cool, well I own a glock my mrs has a PSA dagger (a glock clone) I personally am a deep snob and geek. Glocks are like pick ups to me. Just tools. I like my hammer pistols.

Now, for glock you have 2 major splits, size (full/compact/sub compact) and caliber. All are fair priced, and good fine used. Now, are you in an area that has some mag limit law? I hate hate hate to say "best" but the glock 19 in 9x19mm is pretty much perfect. If you want some tricked out shit it's also a lego. Now if you also want the PSA dagger I mentioned is a cheaper glock. I'd be happy to link you and PSA kicks ass.

Have you held any of the glock models? The 19 is pretty big but it's a "compact" I'm not a very large hand person, but I carry a full size (and some how can hide it ) g20 in based 10mm. But it Bites hard and I've modified a bit to suit my wants.
