People have been running them pretty hard with some parts breakage across the board, I think the striker was the most common failure point. Otherwise they would be considered pretty good for Turkshit.

Yeah, that's what I'd figured, it's a shame the thing feels so good and looks sorta cool. The finish irl doesn't look that good tho, Glock and SIG have better looking metal parts in terms of color/whatever coatings they used. I bet the TTI is Cerakote, not really something I wanna see with nothing actually good under it.
 
/K/ used to get stuff done, then they became gay and Ukrainian. Now they are dead.This was the last attempt at a low-cost gun info and recommendation list. I kind of want to fix this since the rifle section is sparse, and Biden fucked these prices in the ear.
Anyone want to pitch in with recommendations for online stores, Rifles under $500, AR and AK info, tips and tricks, etc.
This version makes niggers angry for some reason.webp

SCCY makes absolute garbage, I'd rather use my fists than one of their guns. You can buy a brand new LCP first gen for the same price and get an actually functional, reliable gun.

Poorfag bolt action rifles are better and more ubiquitous than ever. On a rough ranking of cheapest to most expensive off the top of my head, it goes:
Savage Axis, very rough around the edges and allegedly has problems with corrosion but it's extremely cheap and accurate

Ruger American, similar story but with a more standard trigger instead of Savage's weird bladed trigger some people don't like, offered in all sorts of configurations for whatever you want

Savage 110, incredibly accurate for the price point, one of the grittiest roughest actions on the market

Howa 1500, the Japanese competitor to the Remington 700 that's been chugging along all these years, full factory guns are pretty much what you'd expect, you can also buy barreled actions for cheap and drop them in an aftermarket stock

Bergara B14, uses Remington 700 stock and sight mounting patterns but it's an actual overall good rifle unlike modern Remington

Aren't C96s short-recoil? The Desert Eagle's gas system might work, or you could go more cursed and make it roller-delayed or flapper locked.

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.

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.

I almost got baited into bitching about this infographic until I noticed the filename lmao

Wikiarms.com and gun.deals searching by SKUs you want is all you need for low-cost stuff. That or hunt for police trade-ins.

Black powder for felons/junkies is absolutely meme-tier and I'm saying that as a huge muzzleloading fan. Even if they're not federally regulated a bunch of states have laws on the books considering loaded muzzleloaders to be firearms so you'd get busted for possession anyway.

I'd be all for you making a newer version. I always loved all the infographics and other stuff on k before it went downhill.

Winchester Model 70 runs a bit more than the Bergara depending on the SKU, but you get the best variant of the Mauser action ever (imo). if you jump for the super grade you get some nice wood too and nice blueing. Made in belgium, finished in Portugal.

Oh, and the current Model 70 is made the exact same way the Pre-64 model 70s were. no more push feed. there is no more a classic America hunting rifle than a model 70 in .30-06 or .270 WCF besides the Winchester 94 in 30-30.



in other news, Colt is now making the Anaconda in .45 colt. MSRP 1,699. should be hitting the distributors soon. 4, 6 and 8 inch barrel options. also new tidbit: the new anaconda was designed as a .454 so expect that variant to come down the pipe at some point. A Colt Kodiak in .454 would be a awesome bear gun. this also means the .45 colt should handle the Ruger/TC contender +P loads just fine. I'm definitely a buyer on this one. was going to get a Anaconda .44 but there isn't a point now. I'm already heavily invested in .45 as my main woods sidearm is a Ruger Blackhawk .45

Royal Blue Pythons are also coming in 2 1/2 inch, 3 1/2 inch and 8 inch as well. no ETA on that though but it shouldn't be too long.
 
On that list recommendation the things I'd add/remove is get rid of SCCY like another user stated, remove highpoint as they're not as reliable as the Internet wants you to think; I'd add both the Ruger RXM and Arex Delta 2 pistols, the "M" which is their compact can be had for $225 right now and reviews say it's very reliable.

On the AR15 front, remove ATI and Bear Creek, those are known to be dogshit with some of the worst experiences rolling the dice on receiving a functioning gun. For true poor shit even Anderson has a better reputation than those two for a similar ~$350-$400 price tag, but it still also can have lots of fun QC problems. I'd fundamentally disagree with the conclusion of the gaming PC comparison from the chart, don't buy a PC or an AR15 where you know, or will likely need to, swap parts as that defeats the purpose of spending as little as possible and still getting a good gun. At 350-500 bucks you can get a good one, but it's a gamble. For instance, SOTAR just did his first run of the secret shoppers series on the entry Ruger AR15s and they only run $600ish but on average needed another 300 in parts plus the labor or tools to change those parts out (let alone the potential difficulty to diagnose problems as a complete noob) adds another 150 to 300 which about doubles the cost of the gun. It makes much more sense to just buy the better piece of equipment to more likely assure you'll get a functional item. And that was for Rugers which have a must better reputation than the brands listed in that chart. It is in part the no ragrats edition, don't make a poorfag have to shell out the price of the gun again to make it up to snuff.

It's [current year] that poorfag chart needs optics recommendations for the pistols and carbines too.

after watching this, i sort of disagree with about half the "problems" he mentioned. at this price bracket, these are not "go-to-war" guns. they are sporter carbines that can do some limited ranch/home defense duty in a pinch. the magazine release being threaded an extra turn but otherwise functional is both easy to fix and not really a problem. likewise stiff takedown pins or a sticky mag catch on a new unfired rifle is kind of a meh issue. there is some legit concern with the receiver extension not fully turned to positively engage the buffer retaining pin and the lack of a castle nut staking is also a concern if the gun will see repeated duty use since i've had decades of experience of them eventually walking loose with carry wear. that being said a lot of the issues are "tighten" or "loosen" and aren't really issues for a sporter carbine.

as mentioned earlier, i generally consider the $700ish mark to be about as cheap as reasonable for a retail AR-15. much cheaper and i'm suspicious of parts quality or assembly quality, much more expensive and imho the balance starts tilting to gucci parts, rollmark, included accessories, or the like.
