I'm certain this right here is an illegal SBR conversion that will land you 10 years in prison. Don't do this.

They're specifying an 18 inch barrel and 26 inch overall length, as previously mentioned. It's not illegal just retarded.
Shorten your stock to a length comfortable to shoulder on a whim since most sporting guns will snag your shirt or jacket when shouldering from ready position.

I'll scrap and rewrite that whole part, along with the AR building and millsurp section. A few errors that should have been ironed out; but if memory serves the whole project was derailed by some nigger who thought the whole thing was tiny and in the wrong format because he couldn't open it on his phone.

I would say /k/ should never change, but yes they should change. It's basically Reddit with more Russian gore videos.

@Dusty Old Bones As another pretty clueless person, a really great follow up project would be a "So you got a gun - but what about all the EXTRAS?" infographic - stuff about holsters, slings, lights, optics, ammo - you know, all the additional fiddly bullshit.

All that info is out there its just spread out all over the place.

Holsters can be an issue if you are not carrying a popular gun. Ideally you are gonna use a quality kydex inside the waistband holster that prevents the trigger from being pulled. Leather holsters can pull triggers on guns so keep that in mind if you use one.

Slings: don’t overthink it. Get a 2 point sling, or a 1 to 2 point convertible sling so after you figure out a single point sling sucks you can still use it.

Optics: for budget options just get a Holosun.

Lights: Unfortunately constantly evolving. Get one that’s reasonably powerful like the streamlight TLR7HLX for pistols and something high candela for rifles like the Surefire turbo scout.

Ammo: training ammo get the cheapest reliable ammo. Concealed carry get the hollow points your local law enforcement uses, or something another reputable agency uses and don’t over think it. Shot placement is more important anyway.
 

James Reeves took a completely unbiased look at his gifted "The Mini-Fix" from Q in .300 Blackout and says it's good. Kevin, the guy who runs Q, wants The Fix platform(~$3,500 + tax) to replace the Remington 700 blueprint.
A Remington 700 ADL is about $400 on sale, Howa barreled actions are cheaper and you don't have a stock to dispose of. Throw in a trip to a reputable smith to true up the receiver face(If you really wanted to) with a new barrel and a new trigger and add a lightweight MDT chassis - you're still in at maybe a third to half the price of the Q in which you can spend the rest on an optic and can, neither of which are included with The Fix.
 
The Fix I will admit looks cool which may be the marketing plan but everything I can find on it says it's not worth the price asked.
 
The fix is a neat design, but it’s a light weight hunting rifle. Much more cost effective to buy whatever semi decent bolt gun you can find used since it will fit most people’s hunting use case, unless you really need that much weight savings.

It reminds me again that I want a Ruger American predator in 300. Thanks Kevin!

It's a LARP gun for pretending to shoot out lights and sentries, let's not beat around the bush.
But you're right, there are better rifles out there for hunting. Kevin believes that traditional rifle stocks are not ergonomic, whereas the Fix series has an adjustable buttstock with screws and negative space where straps, fingers and fauna will get caught so I have no fucking clue what he's talking about.

Maybe I am talking out of my ass here, but for that obscene cost, they couldn't be bothered to make this a straight pull? Seems to me like this thing is at minimum twice the cost that it should be.

I’ve heard interviews where he says it’s designed to be a lightweight hunting rifle, not the PRS gun that some people think it should be for the price tag. Apparently they thought Hillary was gonna win in 2016 and get an “Assault Weapons Ban” so they wanted to make a gun that could be sold after that.

The Honeybadger is the LARP gun. The stock on the Honeybadger is terrible.

Yeah that's the same cuckold logic behind calling AR-15s "Modern Sporting Rifles", everyone knows what it actually is.

A Winchester model 70 in whatever caliber you'd like is a much better gun than the Fix in every respect as well. it'd be a shit hunting rifle.
 
I'll ask here since the innawoods thread is slower than molasses whats a good handgun for backpacking keep in mind I'm more concerned for 4 legged critters than 2 after doing a bit of research I'm heavily considering the Ruger SP101 for the following major reasons:
Weight: Ironically enough the weight is something I was originally wary of until I realized bear defense rounds for .357 kick like a mule
Concealability: I need a CCW and on backpacking trails alotta people get wigged out when you open carry (people go missing on trails/parks alot)
Robust Build: Ruger makes this particular model like a fucking tank hence the enhance weight and 5 round capacity vs the traditional 6
Aftermarket Support: The Sp101 was released in the 90s and has stuck around for a while so you can find aftermarket shit EVERWHERE
Budget: S&W are overpriced

Why a Revolver vs Semi? (Inb4 Fudd Faggot): >tfw you will never be Arthur Morgan
a few but a major reason(s) is dirt and mags, dirt is like sand for trails it gets everywhere and since 10mm is the minimum for bear defense in a semi this impacts reliability in all semis. or as scotty kilmer would put it "more moving parts more stuff can go wrong" Mags take up more space, weigh more (loaded), and usually require belt mounting (for ease of access) , vs 2 speed strips of .357.

Secondary Questions:
Holsters: Im not against hard holsters but I want the malleability and softening of leather since I'll be walking with it on my hip for 6 hrs+ on a hike
Handles: I've got big catchers mitts so I'll need some proper grippers (preferable to wood for the look)
Barrel length: I'm leaning towards 2.5-2.75 but I'd like to hear other kiwi takes
Any other accessories: for any other SP101 owners any accessories like sights, speed loaders, or tips are appreciated

It's not though. Pure fudd lore. Any gun can kill, or drive off, a bear. There are a lot of stories floating around, but not nearly as much solid documentation about bear defense. What documentation is out there would suggest any gun can do the job. Shot placement is absolutely key and a red dot on a modern autoloader is objectively better than a double action pistol which commonly don't have the ability to mount an optic. The only practical leg up wheelguns have is stopping power, but you still have to hit the target and weigh if the stopping power counters all the negatives: higher recoil, sight acquisition, cost (ammo), ergonomics, aftermarket support, weight (you don't need to carry multiple magazines when you have up to triple the ammo in one magazine vs 2 clips & the gun), trigger pull and more.

The SP101 revolver has ~double the parts compared to a Glock.
If you're dead set on revolvers, which again I'd argue isn't necessary, the SP101 is good.
