Shot my new M1A for the first time, its the scout model but the thing is still a brick. Love it and want to replace the synthetic stock with wood - fucking 400 dollars tho. Stopped myself from buying a chinese red dot for it.

Eyes currently set on getting a 20' barrel 1897, got a long barreled one a few years ago in good shape for a good price, but can't bring myself to cut down the barrel. No luck on the east coast but I've been calling gun stores in states where CAS is big with no luck so far. Not giving some boomer fuck 1k for a norinco on gunbroker.

Either with aftermarket barrel or a gunsmith with a carbide reamer or boring tool (gunsmiths with steel reamers need not apply), aftermarket recoil spring, modified magazines, and a modified ejection port (necessary for the ejection of live rounds). You'd have to check the HK forums, there have been at least a couple of people who have done it with modified slides so you can eject live rounds, I'm fuzzy on the details because it has been years since I saw a 10mm converted USP.

In the end I'd just buy a Glock to be honest based on what @Local Hooker's requirements, can you really not wait until after the Glock tard panic dies down?

t. my big power auto is a .460 Rowland barrel and stupid muzzle brake for my MK23

Yeah I watched the previously posted video and did some searches before hand. It's cool but it's a probably easier to buy a 10mm Glock. There aren't many good gunsmiths around where I live who don't act like assholes.

Ordered a Franklin Armory Libertas lower. The new, smaller gun store that opened closer to me offers much better pricing on his FFL transfers than the one I've used for awhile that gets assmad over online orders, so I'm excited to not get scolded over an FFL transfer for an online order this time.

Edif: Sorry to anyone who saw the post before the edit. Not sure why half of it was missing, probably just my general retardation combined with pain meds.

Hey retard, you know that CA only approved Gen 3 Glocks right? Right? None after.

What does that have to do with anything, they would have been banned for sale come July 2026 unless Glock removed their status of "easily convertible" as defined under the "easily convertible and has a cruciform trigger bar" language of AB-1127 and I'm 99% certain there's a subtle carveout for Glock to be able to sell Gen V's in California without LCI/Mag disconnect.

"For any pistol listed on the roster on January 1, 2026, that was not subject to the above-described requirements to be on the list because it was submitted for testing before specified dates, that is thereafter only modified to change the design features that brought the pistol within the definition of a machinegun-convertible pistol, and that is submitted to an independent certified laboratory for testing pursuant to the above-described testing provisions before January 1, 2027, this bill would authorize that pistol to be submitted for testing and added to the roster without meeting those requirements."

Yeah, let Newsom decide national gun laws lol. wtf is wrong with you?

Dude how the fuck are you going to let Senator Hughes decide national gun Laws? Glock are a bunch of cucks who BeNt ThE kNeE for not illegally importing Glock 18's by the container load, what even are political realities on the ground?

am 95% sure this has to do with German restrictions on weapon exports.

Why are you mad at me because the German Government has HK's balls in a vise? The MR556A1/4 has it's own completely unique full auto denial mechanism and extra proprietary bolt carrier? You gonna bitch about that next?

Apparently the RXM is getting threatened now too. Awesome right?
Click to expand...
They're getting threatened because Anti-gun retards don't know how guns work. I am almost positive RXM's don't function with switches due to the FCU and I've never seen one converted. Everytown has admitted that as far as they know not a single one has been involved in an illicit machinegun case. And so what? Ruger will be forced to add some little metal tabs? Assuming their gun even works with a switch?

"'But by that Logic all AR's can get banned"
Sure, but that's an unspoken line in the sand. Literally every AR manufacturer and the rest of the industry will wage a Lawfare Jihad against Libtards and the Supreme Court will HAVE to weigh in with an actual decision.

Even r*dditors are being more reasonable about this than you

A new type of anti-drone shotgun load from Ukraine:
 
I kind of wanna get a g19.5 MOS, but all my local shops sold out after the genV announcement and don't know when they'll get more. Is there a likelihood they will, or should I just pull the trigger and order one online shipped to my FFL?

So by that logic the shells in the video would be even shittier than 00? Because it's six lead petals in the shell as far as I can see.

I would think you would want a dense pattern similar to bird hunting with projectiles big enough to take the drone down, but not so big that you don’t get spread too thin.

Wouldn't the larger end of birdshot (#2-BB) + a choke would fit the bill then? That's several dozen to over a hundred of projectiles that are effective to at least 60 yards.

BB shot would likely be best. its used for high geese. 10 gauge would be a good cartridge. It comes in pumps and recoil is the same as a 12 gauge 3 1/2in mag shell.

with steel shot you can pick up some velocity. bird hunters bemoan steel for its lack of killing power so IDK if it'd be any better than lead on drones.

I can only speculate but wouldn't steel shot overpenetrate soft targets since its more rigid than lead? Drones are mostly plastic and carbon fiber so it probably doesn't matter. More velocity is probably more better in that case.

I know that an unladen quad can still effectively fly with mangled props and can sometimes limp with one motor disabled but if you're carrying a decently sized payload its probably enough that you wing it.

I wonder about the logistics involved with using 10ga instead of 12ga and whether it would be worth it...10ga is not exactly rare but 12ga is so prolific why bother?

So why bother designing this weird exotic payload in the first place? Is this the result of smart people with experience designing a specialized product or is it just kroked up slavs trying to grift on the war?

The pattern on 10ga is better than a 12ga with the same payload weight. on a 10 its wider and more even on a 12 (it has to be a 3 1/2 mag to have the same payload) the shot column is longer instead of wider. take this shitty MSpaint diagram for example:
10v12.png
this is because since 12ga bore is smaller in diameter to fit the same weight of shot the shot column must necessarily be longer. The old wisdom with shotgun loads is that a "square load" provides the best coverage. a "square load" is one that the shot column length is equal to bore diameter. 10 gauge is closer to square than 12 with these large shot weights.

perhaps they have some sort of sabot/wadding that keeps them together for some time after leaving the muzzle?

So then we've just reinvented Federal Flitecontrol except with worse aerodynamics and less pellets?

Interesting, I never thought about how bore size affects spread but that makes sense. That's definitely a strong reason to consider using 10ga.
 
hey chat, im looking into buying a gun for self-defense, I would like something under $300 but the max is $400.
