Earlier I had to chamber a round to investigate a noise (there's been reports of a suspicious person in the area today) and when I brought it back in and took the round out of the chamber it looked like it's had a light primer strike. What could be causing this? Should I worry about an out of battery detonation?

It's normal
But save that round for range purposes only
There's a reason why HRT don't chamber the same rounds twice

Ar15 firing pins are free floating.

Hold your ar. Act like youre stabbing the barrel straight forward. You will hear clicking and ticking. Its the pin sliding back and forth. They tap on the rifle rounds.

Those dimples are normal in an AR-15 if you chamber a round

I should clarify that I've never tried to fire this particular round, so there shouldn't be a reason to have any marks on the primer. And don't give me shit about unloading my AR, I sleep with my EDC 9mm, which is loaded at all times. I just took the AR because it has night vision on it for pig murder.

Thanks for the info Jow Forumsomrades. Have a pic of my bedroom Gats for your troubles

Very light primer indentations are completely normal on AR platform rifles. They have a free floating firing pin which will tap the primer gently when you chamber a round. It's not unsafe. If it happens on a gun that doesn't have a free floating firing pin, then you should be concerned.

Why?

Hormone Replacement Therapy?

How the fuck do I keep a handgun that I keep for self-defense in my home from being robbed when I am away but at the same time accessible for use?

idk looks like flecktarn or something maybe digital flecktarn or digital woodland

These light primer strikes add up over time and can either cause an ND or make the primer inert at the worse possible moment.
Rotate to bottom of mag after each chambering, or toss in a 'range' pile.

I hate that this gets posted every couple weeks and depending on who replies first, it's normal or you need a new BCG. All I can say is all of my ARs do this, and although it makes me nervous, milspec primers are pretty tough

This is common with ARs. Free floating firing pins do this sometimes. Don't worry about it setting the round off, worry about it tamping the primer compound so much it FTFs when you pull the trigger. This is a known phenomena with AR pattern rifles and is one of the prime reasons not to repeatedly chamber a single round in them.

Suggestions for first handgun? Also going to be my carry gun, leaning towards the glock 26 after the p365 reliability bullshit. vp9 looks neat though.
Isn't that rhodesian brushstroke?

glock 19 > glock 26.

Why's that? Not much more difficult to hide?
And what's with the different generations? I keep hearing bad shit about gen4, not much about 5.

What are some reputable conpanies that produce AR barrels that are predimpled for the gas block? I tried checking google and the only know of are Bear Creek and Criterion. I'm willing to dimple the barrel myself if necessary, but I'm neurotic about potentially botching it.

Take the slide with you when you leave. At best the thieves make off with a $150 frame that they can't even sell and wouldn't be worth the risk of getting shot over by itself.

I have a PPQ and unironically do this when I carry but need to enter a building where carry is prohibited. I just hide the empty frame somewhere inconspicuous in my car and take the slide and magazine with me.

I honestly don't think there's a big enough difference between gen 4 and 5 to mean anything for the average shooter. Pick whichever one you want. Gen4 had some problems when they first came out but they were solved years ago.

19 > 26 because the 26 is still thick as fuck and just about as heavy, but with the 19 you get significantly more capacity and it's much easier to shoot because you can get your whole hand around the grip.

>Isn't that rhodesian brushstroke?
I've been doing some digging and I think it is actually a South African Camo pattern called Transkei that was based off of Rhodie brushstroke but having big differences. Namely, Rhodie Brushstroke looks like someone actually painted it with brushstrokes while the Transkei looks a bit more like British DPM camo. Odd they used this camo instead of some Russian camo for the movie, wonder why.

You're right, that pic looks just like it. Maybe that was in the top of the camo costume pile?

I should have mentioned up the thread that the cop's ND was associated with a commercial primer. The ND likely never would have occurred if he had mil primers.

A cheap ass padlock does wonders securing a trigger guard to a fixed object.

Is the Ruger PC-9 any good as a Pistol Caliber Carbine?

Thank you for your service.

I would like all of those wild boar eliminated.

So far it seems OK. Definitely beats spending almost double on an AR that'll shoot 9mm.

go ask in /hg/

Found a Condor plate carrier and two 10*12 lvl 3 plates on sale for $120.

Unbranded single curve plates.

Worth it or nah

Are you a poorfag? Officer Store has Hesco 4400 plates for $130. After the first order, they likely will send you a coupon for $10 so your next plate is $120. These are legit plates. Unless I were in the most dire straits, I would avoid unknown steel plates. Pic related.

Probably not poorfag, but I still don't want to pay that much if I don't have to.

These would be my first vest and plates, so I wasn't aware of brand issues, but that makes sense.

Sorry, on the train and my phone won't upload images for some reason.

>Probably not poorfag, but I still don't want to pay that much if I don't have to.
Same fag as before here. Get a used carrier off of eFag or elsewhere for cheap. If you cannot affort two Hescos then I would rather have one Hesco than two unknown steel plates. You can always buy another one later. The 4400 is the working man's plate. Its only real liability is excess weight but it compensates by being one of the toughest plates on the market at any price. I cannot stress enough how important focusing on getting good plates is.

Why are many countries adopting bullpups; since (according to Jow Forums) they suck so hard ? any reasons for their popularity outside the civilian market ?

How bullet resistant are x-ray lead aprons ?

Are there any underslung grenade launchers for pistols (Actual pistols, not the "pistols"designed to not count as sbrs) ?

I have a burning hatred for piggers after they ate all of my watermelons last year. I had close to 200 and they were a few days away from being ripe

Bought a BCM 16" enhanced lightweight, turned out to be dimpled.

>”Many countries”

The only successful examples I can think of are Austria and Australia. Even so, from my interactions with an Australian they hated the trigger on AUGs because of how it’s full auto selector worked. But that’s just a singular anecdote.

Israel made a pretty damn good bullpup rifle, but it is not standard issue. Their troops still carry Colt ARs.

France stuck it out with the FAMAS for a while but it has been known to have issues and it eats magazines. They announced switching to an AR derivative a while ago.

China briefly tried to go full future with the QBZ-95, but have announced switching back to a conventional rifle.

UK has the L82 which was notoriously shitty. Like INSAS tier shitty. L82A1 is known to be *better* but all the UK special units still use ARs, so take that as you will.

I use a .300 WBY mag for those things. Hand load a 165gr steel core m80 into a hot load and it flies through a couple before it stops. I have killed 3 in one shot before ( all were 80-100lbs ea) but it has also taken a couple over 325+

Why are thumb triggers not used more often?

how hard is it to make a Glock + Light kydex holster?

There's not nearly enough lead to stop anything bigger than a .22, and I have my doubts about that. Lead is really soft and you'll have less than a half inch in a x-ray vest.

I witnessed my dad shoot 2 deer at once with a single shot .223, went through the neck of the first one and went into the chest of the next

I make 35k/yr, owe $2200 0% interest credit and $18k car @ 2.49%. I have $200 in savings. Should I buy a $700 AK?

Afraid this particular Ak might be sold out forever soon.

No, save up for an Arsenal, try to avoid kit builds. If you just really need an AK, get a WASR.

stop fucking chambering your rifle for stupid shit you god damn nigger.

get a handgun if you really feel its necessary to "investigate a possible "suspicious person" '

or better yet call the fucking police since its there job and you wernt threatened in anyway. the law wont be on your side even in the worst case scenario.

Your hands make you look barely old enough to own that thing

But I'll spend more than 700 trying to get the bfpu look on a wasr. Don't care about chrome lining. I shoot non corrosive stuff.

South African whitey here. That is indeed transkei camo

Is the rotation of a revolver's cylinder considered self-loading?
Like, for example, self-loading guns are banned in the uk (not counting 22lr). Couldn't they use revolver rifles in 223 or whatever caliber? All the rounds are manually chambered.
Sure, it may not be as practical as having magazines, but it's better than nothing. Why don't they do that?

your firing pin is supposed to tap the primer. If it DOESNT it means your NOT hot.

>Israel made a pretty damn good bullpup rifle, but it is not standard issue. Their troops still carry Colt ARs.
Most of their regular infantry units made the switch to X95s. No need to give expensive new rifles to a bunch of POGs who will barely shoot 5 rounds a year when you have thousands of perfectly functional Colts laying around.

I'm 24 years old and live 10+ miles from the nearest town. Police response time is 15+ minutes. I took my AR because of the night vision, as I said before. Don't wanna shoot any of me or my neighbors cows.

Nice bait btw :^)

Look again at the slide it clearly says Berreta on it. You should be able to find it.

Very funny. It's a Beretta something but I can't read it

No shit. What kind of beretta though, you faggot

Is this a shop? Link to vid please. If so, someone's probably fucking with him, if not. Cool, who cares.

So i'ma try it this way. I got this pair of 5.11 pants from an Iraqi bazaar, for 20 burger bucks. I thought they had to be fake, regarding the price. But the quality is really good, they've gone through a lot over the last years and are still allright, no holes, no damaged pockets, nothing.

Sooo, can anyone tell me if these are real and original 5.11? I heard there's knock offs around, but if mine are fake, i'd be really really surprised that they make such quality fake ones.

Attached: 5.11.png (1101x705, 1.76M)

No, really though. Thanks. I've wanted to know for a couple weeks now, just couldn't figure it out.

Recently got a nice 1972 Security Six for $450 and is very nice. Timing is good, pretty much no cylinder rattle, no end play, bore is in excellent condition for something from '72, forcing cone is good, ect.

But the hammer and trigger are a little blacked up and was wondering how I could polish them. Also, is it typical for the cylinder to require a little force for it to swing out? Would lubing the locking bolt that connects to the extractor rod help?

Also how hard is it do bluing yourself? Seems the cylinder latch has screwed up the bluing on the cylinder. Notches are good though.

Where do you all prefer to buy reloading components?

Should I buy Peltors with eBay's 20% off coupon, or wait for a better deal? Do they ever even go on sale?

what am i supposed to be seeing in this pic

You got it sempai. Just google the features of the gun and it'll point you in the right direction. Reverse image searching only gets you so far.
The hinge at the end of the barrel was the givaway as its just not common on autos.

I mistakenly bought a mossberg 500 stock in an attempt to replace the pistol grip on my mossberg 590 cruiser's pistol grip.

I cut out the excess material that prevents it from being accepted with a dremel and got it solidly mounted on the gun, but if I keep the trigger depressed while running the action it doesn't reset the trigger. If I release the trigger before pumping the trigger resets as normal.

I noticed that when no stock is affixed, the trigger is disconnected and can't release the sear. From this, I deduce that there must be some internal safety to prevent the gun from being fired without a stock on BUT when I inspect the rear of the receiver there doesn't seem to be a button or lever or anything that the stock being pushed into place would deactivate.

Is the internal safety within the receiver itself and deactivated by the tension of the bolt holding the stock in place?

How can I get the gun to function as intended without blowing another $50 on a new stock?

Why are rifles used more often to hunt deer than shotguns ? is it range ?

Hostage Rescue Team

Either carry it with you when you leave, or lock it up when you leave, then take it out of the lockbox/safe when you get home.

trips of luck: it's probably zimbabwean army cammies, because it's brushstroke pattern, but the rhodie stuff has green over brown whereas the zimbabwean stuff has brown over green in the pattern.

Rifling allows for more accuracy and cartridges have better ballistics. Plus you got a lot more options for chamberings. Shotguns are typically only used for deer in places like Maine and shit.

pls respond

Glock 26, or 19 are both good, and equally reliably but amateur shooters sometimes have trouble shooting well with the 26 because it has a shorter sight radius, whereas I find myself shooting the same sized groups with both after putting ~3k rounds through my 19 and 500 through my 26. Normally, I get ~1" groups at 7 yards if I'm shooting slow and from a rest.

If you're looking to start a gun collection, the 19 is probably the way to go, because it's pretty easy to shoot well for most people and if you decide you want a smaller gun for CC later on you can buy a 26, leave the 19 at home as a bedside gun and have magazine compatibility in case you want a backup gun because you're spending some time on the wrong side of the tracks.

You could also go for the 26 right away, but be aware that you won't be able to fit your pinky on the grip and that means you can't hold as tightly, so the greater recoil impulse from the lighter gun coupled with a less sure grip will mean you may have to readjust your grip more often or slow down your shot cadence.

The solution to that problem for me has been to just buy some +2 baseplates for the 26 so I can get my whole hand on the grip, and that allows me to shoot it just as fast as the 19 as well as with equal precision. The one downside that persists with the 26 is that it doesn't have a rail under the barrel so I can't mount a light on it for HD use or an IR device for night shooting. It's also harder to find slides cut for dot sights on the 26 than the 19, but that's not really a big problem for most people.

nice dubs

The gen 4 has a dual nested recoil spring with a steel guiderod instead of a flat recoil spring with a plastic guiderod, additionally, the gen 4 has a MEM'd extractor whereas the gen 3 has a tool steel machined extractor.

The differences are negligible in all practical terms, except that the aftermarket for gen3 internals is much more developed, and you can't cannibalize the recoil spring or slide from either gen to assemble onto a gun of the other, without replacing both the spring and slide.

Gen 4 gets some crap because in the VERY early guns the spring steel in the recoil spring wasn't right so there were some reliability problems.

Gen 3 gets some problems because gen 3 40 cal guns didn't initially get fully supported chambers and would blow up if they were used with wildly overpressure rounds ( the origin of the "glocknade" meme)

It's pick your poison, really. as for gen 5, same deal, but they changed the design of the trigger pack a little bit so the trigger pull is heavier, but with a more crisp break than gen 3 and gen 4 guns.

Its amazing how close but wrong you are about all of it. Current gen3 glocks use the same extractors as the gen 4. Older gen 3s used toolsteel but everything swapped over. They never stopped making gen 3s. Gen 4s recoil spring problems were caused by them using the same recoil spring assembly for 40 in the 9mm guns instead of designing a new spring. This was fixed later. Gen2 glocks were the ones who blew up with 40.

you can call any company's customer service lines and ask, most are dimpled from the factory.

there are reliability problems when feeding from glock magazines, and the mechanical precision isn't very good (as with all ruger takedown guns) but if you are okay with using ruger mags and aren't trying to shoot 1 MoA groups then it will probably work fine for you.

Their populations generally don't have any gun experience so training them from zero on bullpups they don't have to untrain any habits people used to traditional rifles tend to have.

Additionally, the trigger pull on bullpups is quite bad as a rule (due to the nature of including a transfer bat in the trigger group), so people focused on marksmanship with guns (ie. civilian shooters) don't tend to like them because even if the mechanical precision is equal it's harder to shoot well with a bad trigger. The US military has historically had a larger emphasis on individual marksmanship than other militaries and our gear reflects that.

Additionally, the countries who like bullpups tend to buy into the thought that the 5.56 was designed to be shot out of a 20" barrel, and choose to stay with a longer barrel for fear of losing terminal effect, so while some countries like the US and Germany simply chop down the barrels on their rifles to make them shorter, other countries like France, the UK, Austria, and Australia pushed the action back within the gun to keep the long barrel while reducing overall length.

Because people are used to triggers you use your index finger on, and the pad of the index finger is the most pressure sensitive part of the hand, so it's easier to manipulate the trigger correctly with it.
