I've pretty much stuck with Breakfree CLP and Lucas Oil CLP. I use a bore snake in the appropriate caliber and a metric fuck ton of Q-Tips. Hasn't failed me yet.

Only all metal guns like CZ75's and 1911's I like to use a tiny amount of either Lucas Oil Grease or Lucas Oil Red N Tacky Grease.

For ARs in particular, CLP is fine, but for every firearm I own, it's been fine too. Even my old shit like my CZ-52 and the delicate stuff like my Pietta color case hardened shit is fine with a spray and wipe with CLP. I do use a little grease for SA pistol slide rails but that's about as far as I stray from "CLP all the things".

"Renaissance Wax" or any kind of microcrystalline wax is ideal for preserving old world color case hardening and peacock bluing. it'll also increase vibrancy if applied like shellac in a half dozen or so thin coats with a sponge after a very light oiling. you know when light bouncing off it isn't distorted or discolored.

Does someone make subsonic 5.56 in similar spec to m885?

I'm glad that this never really caught on. Might as well be shooting people with a pellet rifle.

What should I be using to keep my gun lubricated? I keep it stored in a rifle pack in my closet behind some clothes. I’ve been using breakthrough spray solvent and their clear oil like a noob. After doing a field strip clean after shooting I’ll apply oil to the gun toothbrush and apply a thin coat to all friction surfaces inside the bcg and receiver.

I’ve noticed it dries up after sitting for a week and I have to reapply before going to shoot. Since it’s laying flat no lubrication travels into the buffer system. I’m considering the idea of switching to a jelly or lube after applying solvent and oil. Would installing a standing rifle rack assist in lubricating my trigger group pins and buffer?

I use my dwindling supply of original formula XF-7 grease for just about all my firearms internal component lube. Another lube type that I've tried that I'm happy with is this one. Inexpensive, effective, you can mix up a whole lot for not a lot of money. For weapons that have temperamental finishes or they corrode a bit because I carry them often, I apply a light outer coat of Marine Tuf-Glide, either with their cloth or their spray bottle. That stuff also works well.

Thread tax: alright bros, another good, less expensive method to transport ammo is to simply fly with it. I've tested this and can confirm firsthand it works, plus 3 professional competitive shooters have endorsed it.

Put your ammo in your primary suitcase along with all your clothes/toiletries/accessories/etc. Put your firearms and some of your ammo in another bag you're going to check (you're checking 2 bags). If your primary bag comes in over the weight limit, pay the fee and lie about what's in there. This assumes they even ask at the ticket counter, which they typically don't. The airlines are the ones that care about the weight. The TSA only cares that the ammo is packed securely, which means either in a boxes or in magazines that aren't in the weapon. The two don't correspond about this because you interact with them separately.

Don't call attention to your stuff by either packing it incorrectly or traveling with a loaded weapon and you'll be fine. The ticket counter people are too busy to be anything other than apathetic to your ammo (if they even know it's in there). Taking it out and weighing it is a lot more work they'd rather not do, so just don't state/hint/imply anything and you're set. It really is that easy. This is in CONUS America, mind you. Haven't tried it internationally.

We don't really live in the land of the free because I can't shoot a firearm in my backyard. But I digress.

I took the airgun pill. Kids have been having a great time with BBs and dad has been killing squirrels with pellets. It is a Crosman Legend 1000 and it is a great way for the kids to learn irons.

I'm not sure if Pietta or Uberti does real CCH. It's probably a chemical wash. real CCH is fairly expensive and i don't think they could do it at the price point most their guns sell at. Fairly sure Pedersoli does real CCH but they are a premium brand, and of course all the higher end Italian shotgun brands do real CCH (FAIR, Beretta, etc)

@AGPinochet where's that bumpy blicky thing? Didn't see it on reddit, is it unreleased or smth? Where are you finding the cool 3D stuff, is there a place idk about?

If so, you can find it here, for $200
The Prospective DIY Option is has only been CAD'd up by a redditor

If you are instead referring to the DIY FRT I mentioned in passing, that is still in development and there hasn't been an update in a month or two (which is not surprising or cause for alarm, these things take time)

I bought this back when I got my first AR and it's all I've ever need for my guns. Works fine, and it's never gotten gummy in cold weather. Pistols don't require a lot of lube, but I'm generous with it when it comes to my ARs. I clean my EDC G19 at least once a week, and deep clean my ARs maybe once a month. If I'm lazy, I'll run an Otis Ripcord bore snake through my ARs, but I actually enjoy cleaning my guns. I don't shoot my shotgun very often, so that gets cleaned occasionally, mostly just running the 12 gauge Ripcord through it. Otis sells a 3 gun bore snake pack that I bought a while back. Very convenient.

QBS-11 Knife gun in 5.8x21mm

What are the chinese smoking making RWBY weapons real? A fucking double barreled knife gun in 5.8x21mm, this:
7d4204349001598e8a6b6fac274c83746dd962f2.jpg
Just going off wikipedia, the power ranges from either 335 J or 420 J. You only got two shots, plus the knife itself. Shit, if you only got 2 shots in your knife gun, might as well spring for 45 or 44 magnum or some other mongo caliber for this VERY VERY niche weapon that is likely only going to special forces.

Keeping my eye on this for my SKS since it just seems drag and drop without modifications. Like the folding ability, though proably not the most comfortable. Wonder how much weight it shaves from the original 8.5 pounds?
 
DocAwe said:
I can't help but ask why?
The cost of the stock + cost of SKS = just buy a better gun.
Though I'll admit it looks cool, and in the end I guess that's all that matters.

The non-masculine urge to accessorize and turn the SKS into something it isn't has been raging for more than 20 years now.

Why do Americans like sks's so much?

I mean, if you didn't pay an arm and a leg for an SKS, the stock would be pretty cool. As far as why we like them so much, SKS rifles were cheap af for a pretty long length of time until they started getting raped in price. A lot of people in America grew up shooting SKS rifles or it may have even been their first gun, so there's a lot of accessories and culture surrounding them.

It was imported in mass quantities and was originally sold very cheap competing with US-made products. Today, the speculative market abuses FOMO(the fear of missing out) while pushing the cheap shit of yesterday for the same money as better, recently produced products.
 
Rate my AK? Also I want some suggestions on how to set this up better for left-handed shooting. My sling seems to get in the way of a lot of different rifle manipulations.

Yugo with a can is pretty cool - 7.62 out of 8. As for the sling, I like the front loop further forward and mounted on the side of the forearm on the weak side of the gun, but that's just me.
