Does 300WM magazines take 308?

They will fit inside but it will not fit in a .308 maxwell. Short action vs long action.

I'm looking for a way to make my .308 M94/14 take detachable magazines, and PTG makes a Mauser magazine well for AICS long action magazines. Figure if it fits, it'll work.

Why aren't constant force springs more common in magazines? They seem like a good way to make higher capacity magazines more reliable but they're rare, so I'm assuming there is some catch.

They don’t have a noise cancellation function like walker razors, but they are a way better NRR of 26vs23. Double the price though, but I can see it being worth it. They’re very nice. Albeit pretty big. I can see them fucking up your cheek weld. 

I’m pretty satisfied with wearing plugs with my walker razors.

>>57820102
Me buddy is authorised dealer of 3m and he could get me these for a very good price. Unfortunately his discounts aint work for shooter/hunter, only basic peltor 3 or slims.
So i should be fine with either of these?
--- 57820252
>>57820166
That’s pretty dope. They’ll work well, other than active noise cancellation all that matters is NRR value, and you don’t easily get higher than 26 with over the esr muffs. You’ll probably want to double up still, you never get hearing back once it’s gone. 
They do kinda look like it can make getting a good cheek weld difficult, that’s the only issue I see with them. Even the slim walker razors can be against the stock sometimes.

>>57820023
Yes but you usually have to buy a new action slide assembly, they usually cost like 50-60 dollars. They're pretty simple to install, shouldn't need any tools or anything. Apparently some 88's at one point were made with the normal 500 one but almost all have it as one piece with the handguard, it's one of the cost saving measures on the 88.

Probably find a local flea market with a "hunting" day or a "military" day and set up. Or a normal flea market. As far as it's just books (and your local flea market is not gay) you should be fine to sell and there will probably be some guy who buys 70% of your shit outright to resell or hoard. Milsurp and old books like that do end up at places like that and there's often sellers that swoop that shit up early in the morning.

Did anyone tried handloading Rhino Solid Shank bullets? How good are they? In my country they're two or three times cheaper than Hornady, RWS or Lapua, yet there aren't many reviews of them.
Who makes better 7x64 factory rounds? Found some decent 7x64 rifles, but the ammo is scarce. 
Would it be comparable to.30-06 in terms of power and handloads? I'm not planning to go hunting brown bear, at least right now, but I want to know how good are my chances may be with hand loaded rounds.

I've never used the Rhino bullets so I can't comment on those. 7x64 is about the same power as .30-06. Rifle bullet construction matters more than the weight, but generally speaking the lighter weight bullets will be for smaller game and the heavier bullets will be for larger game.

Yeah, that's obvious, But I thought that there would be an easy digestible article on choosing the bullet weight. 
Agreed on the construction, but it's hard to find a bad bullet from a famous brand on reloading market. That's why I ask about Rhino, they're not as famous as RWS, but more affordable. I expect to stick with SP, HP and plastic tip bullets, because, well, FMJ doesn't deform as much.

Opening the door with a gun in your hand is retarded, especially at night. Most of the time its going to be a cop. Having a gun concealed or in a holster that isn't immediately visible is a good idea; cops won't immediately shoot you and you have it if you need it.
Step 1: ask who it is
Step 2: if they claim to be the police, call 911 and ask if real police have really been sent to your address. Inform the people outside that you are calling 911 to make sure. If it is the police, you'll have mildly inconvenienced them but they probably won't care. If its not the police, then you already have 911 on the line and can tell them that someone is there impersonating a cop so they can break in, outsourcing your violence to the real cops and saving yourself from potentially getting into a voluntary gunfight. To be clear, this is a 100% valid use of 911.
Alternate step 2: if they don't claim to be the police, use your peephole/doorbell camera (you do have a security system, right anon?) to sus out if you are willing to take the chance on it being a criminal for the chance to help someone. If you cant decide, you can always call someone else to help them out (for instance, sending them an uber if they need a ride, use your imagination).

If you open the door with a gun in your hand, best case scenario you scare the shit out of some confused drunk or pizza boy. Worst case you get into a gunfight with the cops or some criminal.

The older tanks are more vulnerable to a wider range of cheaper and more abundant threats. As short as the front line combat life of all the systems that already got schlacked was, an obsolete tank would be killed even faster. At some point they'd be getting destroyed so quickly and easily that even bringing them to the fight is a complete waste of time, resources and lives. Hard to say if the 54/55 is really that level of abject uselessness since Ukraine has successfully made use of some extremely modified examples though.

Look man part of being a good hollowpoint is consistent test passing penetration. There's an fbi test that is like the standard for how a hollow point should perform. Nerd out on some videos like tn9outdoors and shootingthebull410 for ballistics test. As long as you don't cheap out on your hollow points and stick to the big 3, federal hst, Speer gold dot, winchester ranger t, you'll be better than fine.

>>57850601
>Can't do that with sfp unless the rifle is immobilised with a vise or something.
i think youve mistaken something or dont actually fully understand sfp. because you can do that.
the issue with sfp is when you change magnification. 
dialing in windage and elevation would work fine as long as you knew what you were doing(like how much each click moved) and didnt fuck with the magnification.

I got the same one as wumbo, only have like 300ish shells of random number 7 or 6 walmart birdshot and a bit of buck through it and it's been fine. Have had exactly 3 problems where the shell stovepiped but there were scratches on the brass that were like rough chamber maybe or who knows. Anyways that was only during the first hundred rounds. I installed the Charlie's extended mag tube and ghostloading and ripping 9 shells of anything is dope as fuck. I got some snap caps and practice quad loading, not super pleasant but doable. Stock up on shells, shoot it asap to know if you got a good one. Looks like it's a luck of the draw with Monday morning or Friday afternoon guns.

Ffp is dumb and wasteful for lpvo's in the 1-6 and moreso in the 1-4 because of the size and weight, they're fatter and heavier, plus price penalties more expensive. It's not necessary until you get past 10x which is now mpvo territory. From 1-6 a good reticle and you actually having shot your shit is more than enough to adjust your shots. Also yeah sounds like you're confused as fuck. Watch out for the dunning kreuger drop off.

>>57850682
>Don't SFP reticules usually not have markings to measure with? And even if there are markings, the markings won't translate directly to the number of clicks of the turrets?
this is true but you just experiment before hand and know how your optic works. with ffp it holds true regadless of magnification. with sfp it would change depending on magnification so you woull need to know what it was a 3x and what it was at 9x. beacuse it would changes since its sfp. you write that shit down in a logbook or something. prior to the 2000s all optics were like that ffp and sfp
its not the fault of it being sfp its just being old and unmarked.

Is there anyone who makes a chassis like picrel still? or do I have to go through some jew on GB charging thousands

captcha: GAY4XM
--- 57851243
>>57819602
Short answer, expensive.
Long answer, a constant force wouldn't be ideal either. The more rounds you're pushing, the more inertia and friction there is, and the more force you need, so common compression mag springs are in the right direction. They may typically overdo it, but it's cheap and usually can be made to work well, so compression springs are fine.
On the other hand, weak recoil springs of autoloading 22s (meaning limited force to strip the round from the feed lips) and fully loaded 20+ capacity magazines are not a combination that have a great legacy of "usually can be made to work well", so there's more interest in trying the extra bulk and expense for an alternate approach.

No but yes.
If you're thinking of it like bouncing a billiard ball off the edge of the table for a precise shot from a new angle, that's not viable at all. Bullets and the surfaces they hit aren't purpose built for making intuitive bounces, they're going to deform in the process, affecting the angle in ways you can't predict, and the remaining energy of the bullet will be weak.
But if you add up a lot of weak random ricochets, you can eventually expect results in some situations. The story of tony stein and his custom machine gun is that he dumped shitloads of ammo into the windows of pillboxes, small concrete rooms, and successfully relied on ricochets for effect on the enemy inside.

Alternatively you can drill it out bigger, and then 
a.tap for a bigger screw, and then drill into that screw, and then tap the inside of that screw for the correct size
b.IF you or a friend have access to a lathe, even a small or mini-lathe you can make a threaded bushing to press fit inside the hole.

You don't ricochet a bullet expecting it to hit someone, HOWEVER one real world example of
>For example aiming at a concrete floor
is what made a small protest turn into
>ROLLIN' DIRTY TANKS IN THIRTY
Specifically I am referring to the euro-maiden protests in Ukraine (funny how things worked out) where riot police would fire slugs at concrete floors at an angle to shatter it and cause large amounts of directional concrete fragmentation/spalling that was used repeatably and effectively to destroy and shred peoples knee caps and lower legs. It turned a lethal slug into concrete buck/bird shot that would maim rather than kill. I see no reason why rifles couldn't do it on a smaller scale.
>p.s.
Concrete is very low density, and chunks or splatter that breaks off would have a very unlikely chance at any deep penetration of tissue (the lead slug fragments not included). Any small fragments would likely lose significant amount of energy before reaching you and be like a worse sandblaster at a distance. Any big chunks would likely cause crushing/blunt damage rather than normal ballistic damage. small rock sized chunks would probably cause the most damage, as in sharply edged 1-3 inch long, ~1 inch thick or less, and while would not penetrate deeper than their length, would still not make a great time. Pebble sized ones would be equivalent to low power pellet gun with terrible ammo.

Now I opened up the can and have these dark spots all over the baffles, the surface is still smooth but I'm certain I fucked up somewhere. I was pretty sure I dried the baffles thoroughly before I reassembled. What causes this? If it's just cosmetic then it's no big deal but I want to make sure I don't make the same mistake on future cans.

grinding them with the same tools you use to sharpen them for welding
>diamond wheel
At my work there is one that has a block fixed to it with different sized holes (for different sized tungstens) and it has 2 sets, one set of holes is on a moveable angle (for sharpening the point) while the other is at a straight 90 degree angle (useful for blunting your tungsten). I believe it would be simple to sharpen one like normal, then flip it around and "trim" the back side of it flat and to length. If you want to get really consistent you can do above but hold it in a object that has a shallow or repeatable depth, like a pair of needle nose vise grips but you weld on a fixed plate on one side of the top jaw to zero off of and then either settle for whatever size that is or mill and/or file the side that will be facing the tungsten sharpener flat to whatever desired jaw thickness (translates to length of tungsten) you want.

Depends on what you want to do with it, if you already have a scoped .22 then I'd personally go with a red dot. Sig is making them really cheap nowadays, I've been pretty happy with my MSR but you can pay a few dollars more and get something like the Romeo 5 which is a little more user friendly. Downside on a takedown rifle is that you have a potential to shift your zero every time you disconnect the barrel. I don't know if that's much of a concern on an A22 in particular but if your trying to shoot a squirrel at 50 yards and your zero is off by a couple inches, it could make a real difference.
>>57851933
The Wilson Combat grip mods are great, but the thing that will really improve your capability at this point is a case of 9mm 115 grain fmj range ammo, whatever you can get the cheapest that isn't Ammo Inc (picrel).

As for technique,
In order to hit something with a handgun you need to point the handgun at that thing and then make the gun fire without moving it. This is much easier said than done. Assuming you know how the sights work, the only two things keeping you from shooting accurately are the trigger pull and recoil anticipation (sometimes called flinching).
For the trigger pull, dry fire. A bunch. More than you're thinking. P365s are dry fire safe (as with most modern handguns). Practice pulling the trigger until you can reliably make it break without the sights moving at all, if you're new to shooting it might take time for the fine control muscles to get developed.
As for flinching, its pretty common that people will jerk the gun at the last moment as they are firing, pulling it off target (often low and to their non-dominant side). You can load snap caps into your mags at the range to better understand the concept, but the only way to beat it is shooting a lot and making yourself not flinch.
--- 57853390
>>57853181
I'll look into those grips. I've been buying boxes of Blazer 115 FMJ for the range.
>>57853260
This is exactly my issue. If I try and shoot quickly (for me) my shots were all low left. When I stopped, exhaled and pulled the trigger deliberately I had much more success. I work from home so I'll probably just practice dry firing all day. That was another thing I couldn't get a straight answer on, whether the dry firing the gun was going to damage it. Again, thank you all.

I intend to. I haven't found any factory irons for 22s that aren't either notch and post or Lyman style peep sights. I'm not fond of either. The Zastava is a lovely piece and the Anschutz are well regarded but both are pretty rare and expensive in my neck of the woods. I don't believe tech sight has a model for them (not that I know why they're model specific), and haven't seen other peep sight manufacturers of that style for those rifles. That's why the CZs were the other option I was considering

>>57858780
No, you need a common access card. Most bases will allow you in if you have one even if you are not assigned to that base. The reason is that military bases actually have a lot of supporting civilian jobs that are usually worked by people who are married to active duty personnel. The main one being working at the commissary, which is a tax free grocery store. So people if theoretically questioned on why the have a need to go onto a base that they are not assigned to can say shopping at the commissary which is a legitimate thing that happens. Some bases have food courts with franchises in them, and bigger bases even have a full blown mall. Common to most bases at minimum is at least one B/X (Base exchange) (ranges from gas station mini-mart to small Walmart sized) and one Commissary (day to day necessitys mainly).

brake cleaner is fine for both anodized and non anodized aluminum. If it's bare metal aluminum it will remove the oxide coating but aluminum self passivates and forms a thin protective oxide film over time.

Anodizing is an oxide coating on aluminum.
--- 57859079
>>57858885
coat all painted areas liberally, let it sit overnight, then brush it off with a toothbrush or something.
it expands so it will get in all the cracks and crevices like under the gasblock. so you really need to detail strip afterwards to get rid of all the residue.
the surface will be unharmed.

Is there any downside to leaving one in the chamber for a pistol in terms of corrosion? It's for CC, but I leave it chambered while I'm at home.
--- 57859170
>>57859144
if it was years theres the possibility of moisture getting in and rust happening ruining the gun but under normal use even if its months its fine. just check that shit occasionally.
--- 57859199
>>57858982
yes. Anodizing is a very thick aluminum oxide coating that traps dyes in it. brake cleaner is very slow at removing aluminum oxide, and it's solvents will evaporate before it makes any significant amount of progress on the outermost layer of oxidation. On regular aluminum the oxide coating is a single layer thick, hence why it is important to mention it. It is also very slow acting on aluminum oxide so it only becomes a problem when left to sit for a while.
--- 57859227
>>57859144
>>57859170
Galvanic corrosion can happen, though unlikely. just applying a little oil to the chamber and then wiping off excess should be enough to stop it from happening. the oil will evaporate one you fire.

>>57861517
>no , slingshotting always works if its what i think it is (putting a mag in when the slide is closed, pulling it back and letting it close)
thats not what it is
sling shotting is pulling the slide back with your left hand then letting it fly forwards.
no easing it down or any bullshit like that.
it doesn't matter if the slide was closed or already locked open.

fatfingers should be self explanatory. you are fat so you hit more than the thing you intended to. like 12 when you only meant to hit 1 on the keyboard.

if it isnt going into battery when using the slide release you need a new recoil spring. your current one is too weak. this assumes that you arent doing something else retarded like being in the way of the gun, no lube, or extremely dirty.

Grappling best martial arts for hazguns? 
What if countering knives?
--- 57870973
I went to the range yesterday to shoot my s&w642. I fired 5 rounds of my carry ammunition which all fired fine. However, I bought a box of 50 Norma .38 special training rounds from the range. 6 out of 50 rounds failed to fire. It appeared every one of the FTF rounds had a depression in them so I’m hoping it’s just the shitty range ammo but I’m concerned. Should I be worried about carrying this until I can shoot a different box through it or should I assume it’s just the ammo?

Second unrelated question, here were the 5 rounds I fired of my carry ammo. Is this acceptable for shooting at 10 yards with a jframe? I should add that when I was using the training ammo I had a bad habit of shooting slightly high and to the right. What can I do to correct this? I shoot left handed for the record.
--- 57871016
>>57870679
The best martial art is the one you train consistently. Grappling especially has a much higher learning curve to become proficient compared to striking, so you should do whatever you’re more interested in. If you want to ground fight, do bjj. If you like throws and standup, do judo or sambo. If you like to do standup without the go (and also be a special snowflake) see if you can find someone who teaches catch wrestling. If you want to do a little of everything, join an mma gym.

Don’t be afraid to shop around to find what you like either.

>Are there any good infographics or anything for ink [...] making 
You can make ink out of green Walnut husks. You cut the green "fruit" off and let it oxidize. The finer the better I assume since it lets the air oxidize it faster. Then you put it in water and boil it to concentrate it down. It takes a while and dark brown/black ink would take quite a few walnuts but it'd be doable. Also it's a rather permanent ink; your hands will be black afterwards, kek. Wear gloves. You can "paint" or write (quill and ink or calligraphy pen) with it but you'd be stuck with black/brown tones.
>or especially handmade typewriter inkribbons
You might just be able to soak ink ribbons to reuse indefinitely as long as they are not the plastic type (fabric only) but the challenge would be keeping them wet while not getting everything filthy and ink covered.

If the carry ammo is working but a brand of training ammo failed, it's probably fine but try a different brand of range ammo and see if the issue persists.
If it was just that box of Norma, maybe it was stored badly or perhaps a bad batch that had issues. If you get a box of 38 FMJ from say S&B and the results are the same then you know it's something wrong with your gun.
>>57873713
There were concepts for inertial launchers to put satellites into orbit but achieving the necessary velocity required inputs that were not realistic, so the idea never made it beyond being a spitball idea.

Better answer is a Savage 99 or Browning BLR though. Better calibers available and they can mount optics.

None. That's dumb. Find some speed strips instead.

Yes. Old meme but checks out.

Potentially. They don't need to stop every incoming round dead in it's tracks of they can deflect it. Plus the steel thickness can vary since there's no standard design spec.

Getting one is the easy part, not dying is the challenge.

Absolutely. Not many people into it though since /k/ is mostly gun centric but archery and swords/knives are weapons too.

Over time it can corrode, so rotate every couple of months. Don't leave the same cartridge chambered for years/decades at a time.

CZ is much nicer. Get that with their irons which are also much better.
Don't JB weld sights on, that's retarded. Use blue locktite as instructed.

I was shooting my X95 in a Sandy place, gun got lots of sand in it. When I pull the trigger it feels sandy and the gun is not firing at all, no click.

Is the trigger linkage not working? Hammer doesn't appear to be moving forward cause I hear no click when I pull the trigger. I thought this was a military rifle developed for the Middle East that could withstand a little sand.
