Mega Rad Gun Thread

also what the hell do you mean "make your own flashlight"?
well i think it means nobody has a good enough grip on the brakes to go "wait a fucking second i'm not Tinker F. Cummings, that's why i'm trying to fucking buy one"

edit: i've got the protac 2 on my MP5 which i like but may be a little bigger than what you'd want. it's bright but not blinding and it throws light farther than i'd need.
 
Depends on the revolver size. A snubbie I would keep at a 38. Something mid size go for 357, you can still use 38 with it. Anything bigger you're buying for a purpose most likely, like a 44 magnum for bear protection.
What about cool factor? I'm planning on getting the BFR in 30-30. Specifically so I can wear a bandolier and use the same rounds in both my revolver and lever action.
When I first saw the levergun, I was hoping it was in 357. And then I could get a 357 and maximize.
It's 30-30, so, necessity is the Mother of buying big ass dumb revolvers.
Mofuggin hand cannon.

If it's for fun, do what you want lmao. It's your money. It's just going to be less practical the bigger you go. But it will be fun to shoot
 
Are you telling me not to appendix IWB a 10" 30-30 revolver on a daily basis?
What are you, Canadian?

I was searching for a red dot for my g43x for months and didn't want to settle on a holosun, I've had bad luck with them shitting out on me. I finally was able to pick up a sig romeo-x and wow, it's pretty nice. Weird how sigs optics seem to be higher quality than the actual guns they produce. So now I've got a miscegenated sigger glock.

Just toss the mag that comes with it, that is garbage and like half the issue of cheap 1911's.
Rock Island tends to use ACT mags, which are generally pretty decent. they're an improved clone of para's old series 80 mags and good enough for most types of use, same as CMC. i would be surprised if they have issues, however they aren't Checkmates, Mec-Gar or Wilson.
 
What are some good options for glock barrels? I finally bought a can and I need a threaded barrel for my G19 so I can be a cool operator.

Barsto has been one of the go-to companies for high quality barrels for years. Whatever you decide to get though, make sure you check to see if it is a drop-in barrel that requires no fitting or gunsmithing, or if it will be requiring fitting by a gunsmith.

I can't speak for him, but most Surefire pattern lights are modular, and can be assembled with bodies, heads (either complete with LED, or with a drop-in LED), and tailcap/switch, remote of your choice. You'd have to look at companies that sell individual parts like Arisaka, Malkoff, Z-bolt, Lumens Factory, etc, and mix and match what you want. I'll say again, Arisaka/Malkoff make slim and bright scout heads that look good.

Brownells house brand barrels are good to excellent, and also around $100. I also like that they don't have exposed logos, unnecessary milling on the hood, or fluting that makes the barrel worse. They drop right in and eat everything. I wouldn't get anything cheaper than that.
Rosco has a deep sale on Glock barrels right now.
The KKM that I had, had a tight-ish chamber, but was picky about ammo it would chamber. Accuracy wasn't all that great either.
I had a FJ Fedderson, but it wouldn't take my handloads with 124 JHP bullets (short throat) so I sent it back.
Triarc Systems barrels are made by FJ Fedderson, so they have the same short throat problem, and fuck that noise altogether.

Barsto are all either semi-drop-in (needs some work), or gunsmith barrels (NEEDS LOTS of work), expensive, and I don't know if they sell threaded barrels.
 
Got this video in my YouTube recommends, the guy made a working version of the silenced shotgun from “No Country For Old Men” with its DIY silencer:

If you don’t know the original prop used in the movie didn’t actually have a functioning silencer, and VFX were used instead.

He also shouted out this YouTube channel that has some interesting stuff, like a suppressed bolt-action 12 gauge:
 
Wonder what a semi auto BAR goes for.
There's the H.C.A.R which is a "modernized" BAR. Goes anywhere from 6-8k. Its been around for awhile so there's plenty of reviews. OG BAR parts kits go for even more and you'll have to supply your own barrel + receiver.

Thats because most of their optics are made in China (at least in part) so no US MIC contract gibs for middling quality
 
I'm reading great things about the Walther PDP (and just Walther in general, apparently they have great triggers.) Any experience with Walther among you guys?
I like mine quite a bit. They've earned a reputation of being "snappy", but with a decnt grip they return to target quickly. My only complaint is the sights. They come with crappy, plastic three dot adjustable sights. Standard Glock irons fit, but you may have to really hammer the sight pusher. Overall the PDP is a redesigned PPQ with better grip texturing and red dot attachment.

Honestly the PDP looks like it was designed with a red dot in mind.

Really want to get a Salvo 12 for my Origin 12, along with SBSing it. Scott on Kentucky Ballistics has a custom suppressed 10ga. It's just a break-action single shot, but he commissioned one of the suppressor manufacturers who already make 12ga cans to custom fabricate him a 10ga can. Suppressed scatterguns are fucking rad.
