Mega Rad Gun Thread

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.

Mauser's followup to the C96 was the 06/08. It had the same form factor of the C96, but was more robust, used a unique flapper delayed recoil system, and was chambered for a proprietary 9mm Mauser cartridge that was quite a bit more potent than 9mm Luger. It sadly never made it out of the prototype stage and around 100 were thought to have been made for testing, with about 75 known to still exist. Unlike most C96 examples, the 06/08 had removable magazines. I've only ever seen one for sale and I think it was going for like $50-$60k.

Someone actually made a homemade version of this gun chambered in standard 9mm:

the new anaconda was designed as a .454 so expect that variant to come down the pipe at some point.

That would explain why Newconda was slightly bigger than the originals. I remember reading somewhere that the original run of the Anaconda suffered in sales because buyers felt it was too large compared to a M29 or Redhawk, in addition to the QC issues mentioned earlier in this thread. Much more inclined to buy a .454 Colt than a Taurus if I were in the market.

Reddit is mad this guy got a optic milled slide (not even an original milled) but I think it looks pretty cool

While I am mostly against people "sporterizing" out of production firearms (like that guy who tacticooled an M1 and M1911) acting like someone ruined a historical item because he milled an aftermarket slide is peak stupidity I can only expect from reddit.

I'm more annoyed that he has the money for 2 P7s and then puts a holosun on a 4k gun.

Dangerously based - I'd rather have the dude actually use his handgun then have it collect dust in his safe. I know I'll get flamed for this, but guns are meant to be used and if I had a Purdey SxS I'd take it the field with zero fucks if I got it dinged up.

The Howa 1500 is pretty fucking legit, even if barreled actions are only ~$400-500. My .308 is maybe my favorite range toy at the moment.

The mini actions they make for intermediate/assault rifle cartridges are legit because the action itself is properly scaled down which results in a tight and light(er) package.

The ukraine war was the final death blow more so than the trannies, trip fags and jannie scum. I've used it for years but right after it became a bot net during Crimea boogaloo it just became worthless.

I miss it. So much fun, so many shit posts, so many memes. :(

The decline started when all the Slavshit import bans hit in 2014 and it was all downhill from there. Now /k/ is an empty shell of a board, totally co-opted by the feds and discord.

So just to ask cause someone mentioned it recently, are Bear Creek Arms shit-tier? I heard some people recommend them but when I actually went to the site I saw that they had uppers in a shitload of weird calibers and most of them had been out of stock for like months at a time.

they aren't Hesse/Vulcan and can produce okay parts at an acceptable price point that aren't unregistered grenades. the problems i've had are inconsistency and very obviously using tooling far past the point of reasonable wear to produce parts sold to customers. using a BCA rifle as a .22LR host or something you're going to modify DIY style is reasonable imho. i turned one of their uppers into an integrally suppressed .22 TCM upper (with quarter circle lower for glock mags) for a friend of mine and it works fine for that sort of purpose. the .223 upper itself is also convenient for side charging conversions and they also make 10/22 receivers that are decent for a cheap custom build.

i wouldn't feel bad using a BCA rifle if the communists invaded and we were making volkssturmgewehrs and handing them out like candy at a fat kid's birthday party.

To build off of what Club stated, Bear Creek's 7.62 uppers are notoriously bad, constant issues with firing pin breakages and extractor issues (extracting or breaking). They are known for their price point and to do that they let their machines run too long without maintenance and they don't do hardly any QC during assembly. In 2019 they got raided by ICE where they made 30 arrests, labor is cheap when it's illegal. Labor is cheap when you have retards slapping parts together or just pressing start on the machines. They are also known for shilling on youtube. They are also overly known for how good their warranty service is, because they're guns break so often. The silver lining is they're okay if you have 2-350 dollars burning a hole in your pocket with no where else to go and you want to try out [insert uncommon cartridge here] the cheapest you can wrapped up in an AR package. You get what you pay for, but sometimes not even that.

As a non-gun person I'm curious what you guys think about the Ruger LCP II. It's lightweight and the ammo is relatively cheap. I don't know much about guns so can someone with more experience give me their opinion on it?

It's fine, it's a cheap 22 plinker that can be carried if needed. Ruger has a pretty good reputation among their rimfire pistols and rifles, so while I'm not familiar with this specific gun I don't really have any specific reason to believe it'd run bad.
I'd personally move up to at least a 380 if I'm gonna carry it but If you know nothing about guns anything in .22 is probably your best choice as a first gun purchase.

What's the reasoning in choosing 380 over 22?
