If I got shot and they made a gun in my honor itd need to be a glock or beretta, making it a sig saar is basically dancing on the grave

He did the same with the dust covers when he was going to stamp them "just like folding paper". It's like he didn't even google for 2 minutes the cost to get an idea of the astronomical costs.
And when he realized it was too expensive; he got them SLS printed thinking he is owned the haters.

Depending on the material, post processing and heat treatments, fatigue tolerance and overall strength of that part are probably worse than an original stamped steel part. DMLS may be the best possible way to manufacture this though, provided design changes beyond "just print the part as modeled" are considered.

People like him don't initially realize that stamping only makes sense in economies of scale and is almost never the cheaper option for complex low volume parts like a dust cover. Cheap guns aren't stamped because stamping is easy, they're stamped because stamping is more cost effective for production runs. For small, simple parts; like internals or brackets, a consumer press and custom tooling (easy to do with an operational CNC shop), sure. It's like bending paper plus extra springback effects and thickness considerations.

If I were to be posthumously honored with a gun being named after me, I'd want it to be a good quality 1911 or perhaps a good battle rifle. Something reliable, rugged, and effective. Maybe a special edition of the LMT MWS308/MARS-H.

Put me in a pinewood box and name the gorzillionth ar15 model after me
 
I did a stupid and put a lowball bid on a gun I didn't need and only tangently fits the actual usecase I need filled. $150, Glock 26 for deep conceal. Its a fat little shit, but I'll trust it more then the POS DB380 that I wear with a suit at the moment.

If I get it I'll be giddy regardless of it being a chunk I suppose.

Came across this video of a Japanese shop selling "irreversibly" deactivated real guns.
Kind of sad to see such a collection of rare historical firearms being destroyed just so they can hang on a nogunz wall somewhere.

Seemed to have mostly WW2 items but also some wild stuff such as a few micro UZIs, FAMASes, a fucking L85 and a rack of PPSh41s/M31s. A few specific cases are highlighted below. The deactivation process looks to be MIG welding the internals (bolt to receiver, barrel to an internal steel bar), which probably messed up any heat treatment, likely making any restoration difficult but probably not impossible.

Wild to see a rack of MP38s and MP40s that have been deactivated. They are for sale for around 1.4 mil Yen or 9K USD each

Honestly an M2 would make a great living room decoration

Based random Jap

A lot of the comments under the video are against the deactivation of the guns but the video author seems to strongly disagree with them.

I just want a micro/pistol Uzi lower and for it not to cost a left nut so that I can have a side charging micro uzi as god intended, rather than the new version the Jews ruined by moving the magazine catch so you can't use the absolute metric ton of surplus magazines that are still out there.

Fuck it, get one of those G26X lowers from the GlockStore and make it at least handle a little better.

Yeah for a dust cover the SLS print is probably fine and probably would be my route with the small numbers he's creating. Ian would have totally been ok with that answer at Shot Show.
Could possibly go with an extrusion but even that route he'd need to sell hundreds.

A company the size of PSA clearly has problems getting stuff stamped, which is a sad sign of the times for US manufacturing. There are so few companies doing it; makes the cost even more exponential.
 
SCotUS has five 2A cases coming up that they will hopefully be taking on and ruling upon. Two magazine capacity cases, including one from California, one "assault weapons ban" case, a case regarding how long 2A rights can be stripped from non-violent felons, and another that I'm blanking on right now. I believe they're supposed to announce if they'll be taking them on either the 5th or 7th. I'm hoping Thomas at least takes on the California magazine capacity case, since SCotUS already ruled on it one, told California to knock off the shit in a subtle way, Cali told SCotUS to fuck itself, and now they need to be told in no uncertain terms to KNOCK. THE. SHIT. OFF. So I'm sure he would love to be the one to tell them off again.
 
So both my Amnesty braces, submitted ~24 hrs before deadline, got approved. (both for guns I don't really give a shit about anymore lol)
Some people were freaking out about rising wait times, but I think they are because of amnesty items moving to the front of the line.

The only cool thing about this is they don't need to be engraved(I think?), which is kinda funny.
2.5 year wait lol
The reason I don't care for them:
- one is a franklin Armory Binary lower, I have tons of super safeties, I probably need to sell it to a cuck who doesn't mess with FRTs
- one is a glock mag AR9 lower, and that is IMO the worst AR9 mag style. it's also from TNArms CO. which are very shitty.

I bought both when I was pretty new to guns.

I feel like any option that uses Colt SMG, UZI magazines, or that one that converts P-mags to feed 9mm (so that you don't need a dedicated 9mm lower) are probably the best current options, imho.

Glock stick magazines really aren't as great as the hood has been lead to believe. I suppose an AR-9 with Glock magazines makes sense if you've got a pile of them already because you have Glocks too.

Kriss magazines of course, are made from converted Glock magazines, but I would consider that as an exemption, as the Kriss was designed around the Glock mags (and their limits), not so much for any sort of AR9.

And in their defense, the Kriss started life as a .45, and your choices for off the shelf working high capacity options at the time were basically Glock or make UMP mags work. They went with Glock magazines and a proprietary extension, one of the most economical options, if not the best (at the time).

I think GLOCK compatible AR9s are great if:

A. You are a shooter who is already invested in the GLOCK ecosystem

B. You are a new shooter who has not invested much into any magazine pattern, are getting something economical to shoot to cover a lot of bases from target shooting to home defense

C. Are a more experienced shooter wanting to get into PCCs on a budget

Best: Scorpion Mag IE: PSA ARV, I absolutely love mine. Mags are 35rds by default and I've seen them for as low as 8$
Best (looking) Mag: Colt, I have a DOE for pure vibes. It kinda sucks to shoot, But that's cause the DOE is for looking cool not comfort.
Most Okayest: Glock, They work sometimes (have way more issues than everything else in my experience), I guess and if you have a lot of them or something? IDK
Most retarded: anything custom for an AR9 when you could have just used something that worked IE BnT and Sig MPX and HK MP5/UMP ect. Thank god I rarely see them.


I have all common AR9 styles, The Scorpion just works better, It really sucks that you need to buy the upper/lower/bolt from PSA instead of just the lower, but that's better because one of the biggest problems with Glock AR9s is there isn't a "standard" so a lot of shit doesn't work well together.
 
Glock mags are cheap, durable, everywhere, easily available in 33rd, even drums that actually work are available. The other options are typically more expensive or just worse. IMO if you can get an AR-9 that works, glock mags are objectively the best option for AR-9 mags, which isn't really saying much because the AR-9 itself is kinda dumb. PCC but the same size and close in weight to a typical AR? For me to buy a PCC, it's gonna be smaller and lighter than a typical AR, and have a folding stock, otherwise there's no point; I'd just use an AR.
 
That's right, I forgot about the CZ Scorpion mag lowers.

Probably the best low buck SMG mags out there. Double stack, double feed, with a constant curve. A modern MP5 magazine, without the price tag.

I'm just hoping they don't slow to a crawl after the first, I think I'm going to fill out a bunch of form 1s for suppressors and make some funny stuff.

Taking suggestions on funny serial numbers.
Click to expand...
You can do letters and numbers right? Or is that only for model designations?
"LFJISAMAN"
"CWCVILLE"
"SHECAME4CWC"
"KEFFALS"
"FATRICK"
"SNEED-1488"

Could also convert the letters to numeric designations but that would be a really long serial number (A = 1 etc)

I'm genuinely shocked Franklin still has the nerve to sell Binaries for $200-400 when Super Safeties can be had for $70. I could see Franklin maybe becoming the first major manufacturer to sell Super Safeties.

This may or may not be a post-meta ironic gaslight but this may or may not be a leaked description page for the surefire RC-4 (their looks to be the faintest line between the flash hiding assembly and the main body of the can so possible photoshop? Andrew of OCL commented on it like it was real)

Lmao it's real
Goofy aah suppressor but at least it's cheaper then an RC-3
