Ever want to see a .458 SOCOM subsonic take deer at 437 yards?
Lol at the artillery piece amounts of holdover on that deer, makes me wonder what scope he's using. Not nearly the way I would want to do things, but still impressive though.
Holy fuck, artillery piece impact too. I may have underestimated .458 a tiny bit if subsonics can pull the deer down with it. Some of those shots were downright awful though.
let’s be honest give it a few years and acu camo will be called soulful
The Japanese are LARPing with UCP and zoomers are nostalgic for the GWOT appearance overall, the couch camo may not have blended in with anything worth a shit but it was still recognizable.

now, i beg to differ on this just a little bit. It worked fairly well in arid rocky environs. especially once it got a little dirty. the main issue was that it glows in the dark under NVGs.

I like multicam tbh. I liked it before it went mainstream and remember how Gucci and high priced it was back in the day. It’s faded M81 in a way. The biggest issue with it is all the people calling it soulless (let’s be honest give it a few years and acu camo will be called soulful) is that as it fades it gets more terrible and washed out.

Multicam is the perfect camo for a couple specific parts of the world. If you're a country that's primarily concerned with your homeland (that's not Australia) it's pretty mediocre. A county like Estonia or Germany should stick with their classical patterns and issue multicam for select troops actually going overseas to places like the Sahel and Afghanistan.

It sucks ass at friendly/foe identification. The god damn Norks are using it now.

I think the biggest issue is people forget that camo isn't for you to blend in, its to disrupt and break up your silhouette. Trying to make camo to blend in is tough, so militaries use disruptive camo patterns. The Army's uniform here is succeeding at doing that. I learned this on the History channel as a kid when I watched a video about the Marines adopting MARPAT.

Multicam does that too but like any universal camos, its not going to be effective in every environment. Now, IR reflectivity is the biggest enemy over being spotted by the naked eye.
 
I'd like then to release the 39A again. It's about the best .22 lever out there. all the other ones are cheap guns made out of pot metal.

the 39A is nicely made out of steel. they should market as a premium gun. high polish blue and so on. the originals were also offered in .32 colt/.32 rimfire (the firing pin was reversible so you could switch between central fire and rim fire), so perhaps a new one could be made in .32 auto or perhaps .32 long or magnum if action length allows.

The 9422 seems to be made from quality steel and feels quite substantial in the hands. Definitely has more heft to it than the BL22, which has a thin steel outer shell with an (I believe) aluminum inner chassis that the action rides in. My curiosity regarding .22 lever rifles since first getting the Browning has taken me down a rabbit hole of forum posts and reviews from people who own these models, and it seems the consensus is the Marlin and Winchester being about equal in quality and function with the Marlin having a slight edge in accuracy, with the Browning still being a very good rifle and being handier in the field due to it being lighter than the other two, but that lightness and the smooth wood finish giving some a false sense of cheapness to some people. The BL22 does have the better magazine though. It locks into place with a push button latch instead of there being that notch and post setup that most rimfire rifles with tubular under barrel magazines have.

If Marlin does bring back the 39A, I would love for them to do the same as what they've done with the 1894 and 1895 by offering several different models from traditional blued steel and walnut for the purists, to stainless steel, laminate or synthetic stocks, ghost ring sights, guide gun rails for optics, and threaded barrels to mount cans for those of us who want something a bit more modern, but with the old school manual of arms. I would definitely go for a stainless guide gun style 39A that I can suppress.

Why did the feds allow Sig to outsource manufacturing to India?
when india started using the p320 IIRC
Even if the SCOTUS rules favorably, progressive states will just ignore them and violate the law as they have been. These states still ban ARs and mandate storage requirements despite both of those not being acceptable, so I guarantee that these cases won't matter. Not to doom, but precedence is not in favor of any restrictions being lifted by these foreigners and traitors infesting U.S. soil. Nothing short of arresting the traitorous judges and politicians would accomplish anything.
If you are in an Anti gun state the scotus doesn't care about you, it's only really stopping congress/president from broad sweeping anti 2A regulation.
They've made it clear that a state can do whatever they want in regards to it.

So what was the point of Gen V then? Just a lawsuit avoiding trick?
what if they were retarded the whole time?

This is 100% AI generated but I know this place is just Brazilian enough to do that.

also currently their "story" is unavailable, I wonder if they accidentally didn't schedule the post and just sent it.

As much as I don't care about Glock, this Gen 6 is pretty much the striker fired polymer frame pistol perfected.

It resolves every single issue Glocks has (apart from the basic ergos)

That said it'll probably be a ~$600 MSRP and a RXM/Dagger/any Glock Gen 3 clone will be ~$300 cheaper.

Same. I had a basic blued and walnut .357 1895 that I rarely shit as Marlin helpfully released the stainless and laminate version with a large loop, picatinney rail and suppressor threads a few MONTHS after I got mine 🥹🫠

I'd love a competitor to the Henry .22lr lever guns made in the USA....


Oh and let's see what Lucas "Married for 5+ years with no kids" Botkin is up to....


Lol..... Lmao even 😂😅🤣 slings, targets, contract manufactured webbing and plate carriers and a probably grossly overpriced rail (oh boh here we go again)

Assuming the truth of all these leaks and given the timeframes we now know to be involved, am I the only one beginning to think that the Gen V line has less to do with lawsuits than it was a 5D chess move to cause everyone to panic buy existing inventory, which Gen 6 might dampen demand for?

I sold a gen 2 G17 for $400 or so.
Same gun showed up on a dealers table at the next gun show with a price tag of $1000.

The THWAPS after impact are nuts, the scope is a ATN X-Sight 4K Pro with a ABL1000 range finder. $800 for the scope, $350 for the rangefinder
edit: its a ABL1500 actually, $400

Lol they're already doing that with the 43X COA model because Glock stopped making them for the civilian market. Know a guy who picked one up and now has the conundrum of either enjoying it or selling it for two grand.

I always cared more about having a comfortable uniform rather than what camo pattern was on it. ACU/ABU was a stiff and uncomfortable uniform. We got the OCP two piece flight suits before OCP became mainstream, and those fucking rocked so hard. Being able to remove your top to pre-flight the 140 degree deck aircraft was a Godsend. Plus we finally had belt loops so you didn't have to use a web belt and drop leg holster for the M9.

I have 2 COA guns. Literally bought the second one the day before the discontinued announcement.

I paid $1200 for each and wasn’t happy about that price.

I currently have 2000 rounds on one and 400 on the other. I ended up with a 45 and a 19. I would rather have two of the 45, but I’m just gonna carry the 19.

I felt my wallet whimper and tremble as I fantasized about Marlin bringing back the 39A. It knows it'd get fucked hard because I very likely would buy an 1895 in .45-70 too.

You mean to tell me you don't have faith in Bussy Tactical/Twink Defense/whatever he's calling his new company?

Disagreed, it's absolutely the most versatile camo out there, which is why it's gaining so much popularity. It works pretty decently, pretty much everywhere. I don't particularly care for it, and it sucks that nations are going away from their unique patters in favour of the multicam. But when you see photos of multicam in the plain fields and destroyed cities in Ukraine, deserts in Iraq and Syria, mountainous regions in Afghanistan, to the deep forrests in Norther Europe... It doesn't stick out anywhere. It just works. Hell, while it's not ideal in snow, it works better than woodland style green camos.

I wouldn't say it's the AR-15 of camos, because it doesn't really do any one thing or region the best. More like the Glock of the camo world. Not that special in anything, but just fills the need of most use cases. And it's readily available everywhere.
 
photos of multicam in the plain fields
This is why I liked it and why I was wondering about the hate. I had a guy tell me to spot his backpack and poncho in this open grassy field during the middle of the day and it was surprisingly difficult to see at 100 yards. I was sold on it after that.

Saying its the Glock of camo seems accurate. Even though its not your super special camo of choice It Just Works.
