What is the most absurd rechambering forced upon the Lee Enfield? Bonus points for the No.1 Mk3 as opposed to the No.4

I've heard talk of 45-70 and .444 Marlin, although I've not seen one myself. Then there's the abominations cooked up by Australians post-war including the below .303/22 (not my picture):

China coming through when Flux won't, for the actual price these chassis are worth. I'm willing to buy this for $100 vs what Flux wanted (and will want) for the "real one")

i kind of feel like i missed out not buying the farrowtech mp7 style brace for my cp-33 but every time i see a video of a flux raider or one of those things in action i see that the stock is flopping around and im i didn't spend $200 on that shit

The internet is the absolute worst way for a quick physics lesson in regards to action strength, shit reaches back decades at this point where it's just hearsay stacked on hearsay depending on someone's personal account of being pretty sure they didn't double charge/underload their case and definitely didn't use pistol/cannon/range flakes they had just lying around.
These are the same retards that buy the cheap Turkish ammo that has been exploding guns for the past year or so because they don't want to buy PMC.

i've spent many years on the internet dredging through some of the worst excesses of the warez and hacker sphere and the hair brained shit that people do to their machines and software to make them function out of spec. what's curious about firearms is that guns are actually extremely simple and very easy to approach with a scientific and objective eye, there's over a century of essentially open source material to refer back to when it comes to guns, and yet the gun "community" is without question the least reliable and overtly narcissistic bullshit minefield imaginable. do not trust any information you get about guns from the internet without directly verifying it with someone who physically owns that firearm who you also trust their discretion. this doesn't have anything to do with safety, boomers are just notoriously unreliable and they will aggressively gatekeep information out of spite.

i had an opportunity to buy a snubnose j frame 32 revolver for cheap and i was very shocked to find out that pretty much everything i ever read about 32 revolvers did not hold up. it's like 18 ounces, its not a small gun, compared to a p32 or a baby browning its absolutely massive, and you get 6 shots of an 80 grain bullet at 800 fps - and those bullets cost $2 each. i don't understand how anybody would choose to carry this unless they're specifically appealing to some fantasy about revolver reliability or specifically appealing to a fantasy about ammo avaliability... which are perfectly valid justifications for carrying a snubnose j frame i guess. but now i look back on all of those forum posts about The Best Gun To Carry and realize they are willfully ignoring all of the factors that people actually consider when looking for a gun for the sole purpose of propping up a very thin larp. the executives in charge of the industry fall in this category too, they're still coming out with 32 snubnose revolvers. nobody makes ammo for them anymore, there's 4x more 25 acp on the market than .32 revolver ammo, who the fuck is buying this shit?

thank you for coming to my ted talk

Can't talk about ammo availability, but most revolvers have more moving parts than autoloaders do. Lots of gears and mating surfaces to wear away or bind up. I love revolvers but they are definitely not a simpler design.

So I got some surplus 8mm Turk ammo from Maryland Munitions for a M24. Should I count myself lucky I haven't bothered to go to the range yet?

They might have been over a hundred years ago when nobody knew how to make a reliable autoloader.

they allow you to shoot reloaded cartridges that you made drunk while watching Hogan's Heroes. they'll eventually blow up the revolver but then you can blame it on the gun :smug:
 
Not to dox myself too much here but I'm in a pretty gun-unfriendly state looking for a first firearm for CC/self-defense/range shooting. Never shot a gun before and don't know much.

So I'm looking at handguns because magazine size restrictions really make any rifle ownership a pain, I'd imagine. I really like the style of the 1911, specifically the SW1911, but I'm looking at the Springfield 1911 as well.

Anyone got some advice or tips on where to go from here? I still need to apply for my LTC so I'm just window shopping right now. Also suggestions on a first handgun would be cool. :)

What is the magazine capacity restriction? I would advise against a 1911. Blanket recommendation is a 9mm, polymer frame, striker fired gun of some flavor, BUT maybe your restrictions preclude that?

10 round maximum. No restriction against striker-fired handguns as far as I can see. Also considering a Glock 17 or a Beretta 92FS. (not striker-fired but I don't think double action would be too difficult to get used to) I just figured .45 ACP might be the move to maximize potential stopping power with the limited ammunition permitted.

Do you have a gun store near you that will let you try shooting a gun before you buy it? Glocks are really good pistols for first time buyers. You might want to look at some of the S&W M&P 2.0 variants too. I think the Walther PDP is a good pistol too, but there's not as much aftermarket support for it compared to Glocks and M&Ps. I'm sure there are some good concealed holsters for the various PDP variants by now, though.

As far as "stopping power" goes, 9mm has killed a lot of people just fine. All you need to do is carry good hollow points. I prefer Speer Gold Dots and Federal HSTs. If you're nervous about only have 10 round magazines, you can carry an extra mag in your pocket, or buy one of the concealed mag pouches that are out there. Practice your reloads if you go that route.

It looks like bad ammo, the frame just as it goes off shows some gas to the rear of the slide that isn't present in stills from other shots. That it locked up the slide to the FCU supports the idea.

note the gas behind the slide as it goes off

For what it's worth, it's got enough weight that it's easy enough for just about anyone to learn how to shoot without developing a flinch from recoil. The grip is an acquired taste, bigger hands will be more comfortable but again it's great for learning.

There's literally nothing wrong with 1911's - especially if he's restricted to 10rd magazines. 230gr +P HST turns into a god damn ash tray inside a basketball American's chest cavity.

Just make sure you purchase a sufficient number of Wilson Combat magazines and toss the OEMs into a sock drawer.

Another .45 to look into within the price point is the HK45.
