when i shot corrosive ammo in my mosin i only ever did the boiling water thing once or twice. my usual method was to just soak a bore brush in hoppes #9 and scrub out the bore really well. i then followed up with a couple of patches with the same #9. i would then follow up with dry patches until they came out spotless.

wasnt too bad, i would just put on an episode of an old tv show. only took a few minutes to do this. so far after 18 years or so i still have a nice bore to my mosin.

For what it is worth, I do something similar, except I have used Ivory soap and water, Aerokroil, and gun solvent for this. Basically just gotta get the corrosive compounds out of there, then clean like normal. I prefer just standard solvent after using what was on hand, especially over soap and water. Too messy.

Mosin is way easier to clean than something gas operated.

Everyone should clean their AK by pouring gasoline all over it at least once to get the true Third World illiterate fighter experience. We gave some Iraqi Police who weren't completely useless tooth brushes and taught them how to properly clean their AKs after they told us about the gas method. They did end up using the tooth brushes at least a few times that we saw them. We later found out they also used them to brush their teeth. They were super proud that we gave them gifts and told all their friends.

Also Zimbabwe carry, best carry.

Spoiler: for the yung bucks who don't know no better

I originally read this sentence fragment to mean that the default state of an Iraqi policeman is "useless toothbrush" and was very confused.

This reminds me we gave the Iraquis M&P 2.0.s, making them the sole military operator in the military & police branding. Which is kinda sad, the 2.0 is a good gun.

The charging handle isn't where you'd expect it to be


Suppressed Glock 17L with Bushnell Holosight (produced by a little known company called Eotech) in the movie Ronin


VSSM just floating in the air


Enhanced Systems custom Serbu Super Shorty


Modernized AS VAL with ACOG


Prototype groza reproduction by "a guy in Eastern Europe" who says that he hopes to put reproduction guns into production next year (this is unstated but I presume with the aid of US based Partners) but it's contained in an archive link because the site just will not allow me to upload the fucking image of it

A guy associated with Sureshot USA recently posted this picture so I assume it's safe to say that the company will be releasing a Chassis for 9mm Vityaz style guns in the relatively near future


Custom AKS-74u with Hexagon tactical suppressor and Obr. 2020 stock

Not entirely sure what this is, Pipe shotgun with rather strange pull and release trigger mechanism and no visible way of loading? Your guess is as good as mine

The same or similar arrangement (it is in fact a pipe shotgun, intended for anti-FPV use) on an Obr. 2023 AK-12

Ever handled one of those serbus before?
You really can't appreciate just how small it is until you hold one.

Fun fact : this is the first time ever a holographic sight was in a movie.

do you guys like pmag or metal AR mags better

 

[batterybee]

Ive only used Pmags but I like the look of the aluminium ones better.

 

[WhoBusTank69]

do you guys like pmag or metal AR mags better

First AR I owned would not lock open with a PMAG, then I learned there are multiple generations and I gave them away to make room for more aluminum mags.
Fuck PMAGs.

 

[WhatInTheActualFuck]

do you guys like pmag or metal AR mags better

PMags, no question.

 

[EggImpregnator]

I like handling pmags better. They feel better loading, unloaded, inserting into magwel. Plastic doesnt create thag awful metal on metal grinding that metal mags have.

BUT

Metal mags look way drippier.

 

[Taser Confetti]

do you guys like pmag or metal AR mags better

The plate carrier and rifle are loaded with Lancers (Gold Dot Rifle Personal Protection 223 Rem 75 Grain)

The rest of my STANAG magazines are PMAG’s.

 

[Pretend To Imagine]

do you guys like pmag or metal AR mags better

I like metal mags better, but I have tons of both. I have over 200 AR mags

 

[DocAwe]

Lancer preferred.
Pmag cheaper and easier to get though so...

I hope there aren’t red flag laws in your jurisdiction.

In a perfect world anyone who went postal due to a red flag laws would be instantly filled with lead from a random bloke on the side of the street with a firearm.

Are they a meme? Yes and no. No, in that the popular ones tend to work fairly well. Yes, in that the only people who "need" them are guerrilla/insurgent forces and people who can't pass a background check.

There's also another use for firearms with polymer parts, conversion into a full-auto configuration. Not saying you should do it without a law letter and SOT but it could be done. Glock switches are the common one gangbangers use but P90 (Sear interrupter/FCG) and AUG (Receiver/stock) come to mind as well.
But if you can do that you could probably turn a 3 selector AR FCG from scratch with a lathe from a block of steel.

On accuracy, you're (almost always) not 3d printing a barrel. You may machine your own barrel, either through ECM or turning it on a lathe from a blank, and that will change the overall firearms accuracy,

In China they passed a law some time back where if you buy anything that's barrel grade steel remotely close to a barrel profile was banned without license.
As a matter of fact with the Hamas-Isreal fight I think a Chinese gas cylinder company was listed on the sanctions list for a bit lmao. They were going out of business but Hezbolla/Hama bought shit tons of the cylinders to convert into rockets I think.

Anyone have experience with Telaammo? Im considering buying 7.62x39, .45c a round seems great but "produced in Azerbaijan" has me skeptical. I saw some people complain they are actually corrosive but I usually bathe my AKs anyways.

I miss Vympel, too busy making ammo for the SMO/war I guess in addition to sanctions.

It's a fucking shame Okay shut down their mag production literally because of covid. They started making so much money off medical equipment during that they decided to shutdown mag production and retool it for med stuff. I'm guessing Magpul getting larger and larger shares of gov't contracts didn't help.

 

[Martys_not_smarty]

Best steel and aluminum mags i've used are Duramag and ASC.
