Finally bought a couple small (10” & 8”) steel gongs and the setups to hang them, took them out to the outdoor “range” in my area last weekend. Fuck, shooting steel really is a satisfying experience, hearing that ping (not the garand ping) everytime you land on target is great.

I also finally tested out my “upgraded” CMMG .22lr BCG after I swapped out the extractor for the Borebuddy upgraded/hardened extractor. The stock extractor that’s installed from CMMG chipped on the lip that makes contact with the rim of the cartridge so I was constantly getting FTE’s. After swapping the extractor I only had one FTF in about ~150rds fired. It probably doesn’t hurt that I was using CCI minimags for 100 of those.

Now I just need to get a rangefinder or take my 100’ tape measure out next time so I can make sure I stand a safe distance away from the targets so I don’t shoot myself with a ricochet

Maybe I am just suffering from the Mandela effect, but weren't there a ton of turkshit shotgun importers and "manufacturers" who stole the names of defunct German companies or German words? My buddy and I are discussing it and neither of us are able to find anything other than Spandau and Panzer arms.

Charles daly, now a importer of strictly turk shit used to import some of the finest german made guns available in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their various "Prussian model" shotguns included some of the most expensive guns in the world at the time. some still command prices of over 5,000 dollars. especially the fully deep carved engraved examples like this one:

Not just German, but they hijacked the Tokarev name as well.

EDIT: Crosspost from GunTuber thread, MAC/Sturmgewehr revealed a few months ago that DK Production Group is reproducing German guns in the US.

Wandered over to MAC/Sturmgewehr's channel because I noticed he looks old as fuck and I wanted to see if he was still shilling dumb bullshit(he is)
Turns out he broke the news a few months back that a German company moved to the US to continue production on repro German guns(Sturmgewehr 44, FG42, MP40, VG 1-5 and SteyrGB[???])

Who wants a knockoff Sturmgewehr for 6.5k?

California is looking to target shooting ranges next year over lead exposure lol.

This year, a lot of gun stores were shut down.



And whoever is the cunt that runs Calguns.net, is doing a lot to help Newsom and Bloomberg. He still can't get it to function for about 2 years now.

What does everyone think of the LMT 10.5" upper?
Click to expand...
10.5" is a crappy length from the standpoint of reliable function due to very short 'dwell time' (pressure time). 11.5", or longer, gives a big improvement in running more smoothly. LMT quality is good, but I wouldn't go with the FSB unless you are cloning. Building yourself can yield good results, especially if you're going to suppress it, because you can pick a reduced gas port barrel.

I don't get it, aren't Merkel, and Purdey guns much more expensive than that?

That's about how much I'd spend on a barrel alone.

Can't have suppressors. flash hiders, or AR pistols where I live. Only option is to AOW or to go the non-NFA route.

suppose I have a p22 with a suppressor that's struggling to properly cycle subsonic ammo. My mind first goes to replacing the spring, but I'm open to suggestions.

they were among the most expensive at the time so the 1880s-1920s. the london best gunmakers have always been the most expensive in general. A new purdey will run you at least 70k these days.

you can get a new Merkel for around 5,000 depending on what options you get (it can go much higher). They target the middle class.

Want a 10.5" "other" build and I'm not sure if I want to build it myself, or get this and swap the flash hider out for a surefire.

You just doxxed yourself as living in either NJ, DE, or MD.

Jokes aside. I would not get that upper. Its extremely overpriced. If you're getting something from LMT at least get an upper thats already built. I would highly recommend something with a free float mlok rail. Its industry standard for a reason, its the best. If you're really determined to have some retro gun with a fixed front sight, get an H&R upper.

When it comes to barrel length for non-NFA other firearms, you really have 3 options.

The first is 12.5 inches and above. With this barrel length, you don't have to worry about pin and welding a flash hider. You will meet the 26 inch requirement with a standard 6 position milspec buffer tube.

The second option is 11.5. With this barrel length, you will not be over 26 inches with a standard milspec buffer. You will either have to pin and weld your flash hider on. Or you can get a VLTOR A5 buffer tube. Which is slightly longer that milspec and will get you over 26".


The third option is 10.5. With this barrel length, you will not be over 26 inches with a standard milspec buffer. You will either have to pin and weld your flash hider on. Or you can get a Just Right Carbines Extended buffer tube. Which is slightly longer that milspec and will get you over 26".

When it comes to what barrel length has the best performance, i have the opinion that 10.5 is the minimum length needed to have a reliable firearm. Anything 10 inches or longer will be okay in terms of reliability. In terms of performance on target, its all about pros and cons. The longer the barrel length, the better the performance of the bullet. I'd recommend you get an 11.5 inch. 1 inch doesn't sound like much, but it keeps 5.56 at a higher velocity for longer compared to 10.5. That being said, i have a 10.5 and at home defense ranges theres not enough of a difference to talk about.

psa m16a2a3 clone black friday 2024.png
I don't have the money this black friday, but assuming they do this sale again next year sometime, I am so getting this. Its a A3 clone, which is a A2, but with a detachable handle. Still has the bayonet lug and 20 inch barrel, sexy and retro as fuck, absolute peak aesthetics and performance. And as a entry rifle into the AR-15 platform, I think it would give me the least shit from PSA, considering it has the rifle length gas system and full buffer, not much to fuck up.

Why don't you slowly buy the parts? You can get a complete lower from them for $110. Then keep saving until you have enough for an upper.

Just tossing this one out to you I bought one of their 20" A3 uppers a few years ago and it never worked quite right.
I suspected it was a gas issue of some kind but it never really got sorted.
I gave up on them in general after my 10½" dedicated .22 Pistol upper keyholed right from the box.
They replaced it with a 7" one when they couldn't fix it.

You can probably find an actual A3/4 upper if that's what you want.

Mine is an authentic FN A2 upper. I like to brag about that.
