Holy moly, how much does that double drum even hold?!

One hundred and fifty (150) rounds of 5.56mm NATO. I haven't seen one disassembled, but someone said the cartridges are held in their extractor groves somehow, which would explain some of the weight and bulk, and presumably the thing would fit and hold .300BLK just fine if you were inclined. Possibly also .350 Legend, with the increasing weight of the bigger and heavier projectiles.

I've seen a couple of pictures of what is supposed to be a single drum equivalent, meant to hold 75 to 80 rounds (as well as some sort of quad-stack 60 round mag), and Armatac has this image and a description on their site, but as a Coming Soon kind of thing, it's not a product they list, and I've never seen one IRL or listed on sites, so given that the page is actually very old, I guess those other magazines are vaporware.
Seems like the double drum also went up in price since I last took a look at them, averaging at $430 a piece.

That drum is sick. Getting drums dedicated, or at least cross compatible with 350 legend would be awesome, but would need more support.

Makes me think about using an actual steel lower or something to make sure the much higher weight doesn't cause problems. Also imagining a big drum of heavy subsonics together with a suppressor. I guess for ambushing wild hogs at night.

Ah yes, Drum Mags, for when you need to force a mag-fed gun into a belt gun role. Truly the worst of all worlds, still neat though.

If done right, it can work out, and you'll look sick as you gun down invading Communists in droves while riding skis.

I love these, they're heavy and expensive, like the Thompson, but just the same they also work very well (assuming it's a blowback Thompson). Very far from practical or ideal, especially by modern standards, but when your enemy barely have any subguns of their own and largely make up noob conscripts with trash leadership, and you're fighting mostly in forested woodlands, you can get away with so much.

Also, I picked up a M4 stock adapter that should "fit most AK's" and it doesn't fit into the rear of the receiver. What the fuck...

Doesnt fit as in too tight? Or theres a fundamental difference in shape?

If its too tight try sanding down the adapter a little bit. AKs dont have nearly the same consistency of tolerances as ARs.

Was only a matter of time. Now to wait for Michigan's, on account of Detroit.

I don’t know about you, but I love sending $$$$$$ down range while burning out my barrel.

Barrels are cheap, poorfag.

Saw this on an old episode of Antiques Roadshow, but missed rest of the segment with a natural-shaped burl forend & view of the entire rifle. The whole thing was beautiful, even the sights; but check out the quasi-pistolgrip stock:


Even the sights were 18th century baller


Update: the episode came on again. 1871 Schutzen, belonging to Ludwig I.



Check out the crazy vernier/tang sight.

I have been asked to place this so I can get an opinion of gun owners.
Thank you for your previous input.

Is that a fucking Raven (or Lorcin)??

Better put it down before someone gets hurt.

Raven?

Is that a different lolcow?

These are handgun manufacturers known for low quality, frequently used in crimes due to their low price point, sometimes called "saturday night specials"

If it has a standard AK side rail, could try something like the Belomo mounts. They have an ultra low one that may work, like this one. Make sure it matches your measurements: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224509785257

Thanks, never heard of them, I'll check them out.

I was actually able to make it fit but it was TIGHT as fuck. Had to use a hammer to tap it in. I didn't want to damage the receiver so I was careful, but it worked.

So Remington announced their answer to .350 Legend.

Meet .360 Buckhammer

.358 caliber bullet, straight wall 200gr SP advertised at the velocities that Winchester pushes a 180gr from .350 legend.

All this sounds good right?

The kicker, it’s a rimmed cartridge.

I wish them luck selling that.

Releasing a rimmed cartridge designed specifically for lever actions in 2023? Good luck indeed. *laughs in 45-70*

 

[Freshly Baked Socks]

If you absolutely have to buy a drum mag for your ar-15 type, I can recommend the 120-rounders from Norinco, currently available from Atlantic Arms for $350 ... solid steel design, and will outweigh your rifle when fully loaded.

I use a mount just like this for my optic (A Sig Romeo MSR) on my AK, although I make my optic sit higher up so I can drop my head and use my iron sights if I ever need to.

Also helps that I sighted both my iron sights and optic out to 300 meters, though I'm unsure if this could be considered "co-witnessed" since my optic is higher than my iron sight on my AK. The dot on my optic and front sight post on my AR-15 perfectly line up, however.

 

[WhatInTheActualFuck]

Anybody here knowledgeable about AK's? I have an M+M M10 that I've had for awhile that I'm just now starting to customize. What the fuck is it with the peculiarity of this rifle? The optics mount sits higher than other AK's so finding an optic mount that sits low enough is next to impossible. RS Regulate sells one specific to this rifle but I have a feeling it's a dead company with how out of stock they are. Also, I picked up a M4 stock adapter that should "fit most AK's" and it doesn't fit into the rear of the receiver. What the fuck...

@Club Sandwich covered the high points. RS is in business, but supply/demand is so crazy, they're always OoS - I know mostly because I have a Century RH-10 (pretty much your M-10, but with worse QC) that has the same goofy high rail. If you're just looking to mount a red dot or reflex sight, you've got other options - multiple gas tube/UHG rails (Ultimak, etc.) are out there and Attero Arms makes a series of mounts that replace the rear sight leaf while retaining a fixed notch that will lower cowitness with a low-mount RDS. If you want something magnified, I'd hold out for the RS Regulate stuff.

As for mounting stocks and other furniture, AKs aren't going to be drop-in like ARs are. Expect to do some fitting on most furniture regardless of vendor - files (and occasionally a Dremel) will be your friends here.

Also, I saw x39 soft point ammo mentioned earlier as being hard to get, but PPU SP ammo is pretty easy to get your hands on (if not particularly cheap) still.

Honestly I'm for it, I'm a old soul, loved firing my cousin's 30-30, give me a fuckin rimmed semi auto baby. Same with a bolt action, I want to see how accurate this

That's actually cheaper than the Norma brass case FMJ I typically buy in store for my SKS. If I could get soft points to compliment my more expensive Hornady Black, that'd be great. Any comments on effectiveness on deer (we only have small mule deer around here)?

Speaking of the SKS, I got my chest rig last night. It's surplus alright, seems like it was repaired once, which I find cool, and with the classic strap and my 40 stripper clips, all I want at this point for my budget setup is some sort of helmet. Any recommendations on something cheap (can just be a old surplus tin can I can pick up at a gun show)?

 

[Club Sandwich]

small mule deer

124gr (or close enough) 7.62x39 soft point is great for mule deer with an SKS or Mini-30. my friend has bagged a dozen plus over the years hunting around the cascades with it. 150 meter zero will do you fine on a 16" barrel. 250 meters is also doable but a humane shot might be much harder to pull off, and blood trails aren't fun for ether end of a hunting rifle.
