[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;48319639]So how about a rolling block action rifle chambered for .357 Mag, chopped at 16 inches, OAL 34 inches, fitted with an A-Tec pistol suppressor and a ghost ring/fibre sight setup?[/QUOTE]
Why not? Makes it easier to make some cheap subsonic reloads, or make some hotrod rounds that don't destroy your hearing. It would be a nice hunting setup.
I called Browning Montreal to ask about the 1911-380 I ordered that they said they'd get in 4 weeks 6 weeks ago, I was told they're backordered until February. The woman said she'd try and bump me up, but basically it looks like I won't get it until early next year.

goddamnit Illinois, this is going too far!
I don't got the money for an RSASS, but it annoys me when gun manufacturers only sell to military when clearly the gun can be made semi auto and the civilian market for it exists.
Are there even any good modern rolling block rifles? Why would you tacticool up an antique (especially irreversibly)? If you want to kit out a 357 rifle use a modern Marlin lever action.

I'm sure pedersoli or uberti make a few.

Uberti still makes them, but not in 357. [url]http://www.uberti.com/1871-rolling-block-carbine[/url]
You guys know where I can buy a cheap, reliable powder measurer online?
I have about two pounds of black powder and 100 paper cartridges to fill. I lost my old powder measure and I need a new one.
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;48323297]A friend wants to do it with either the RB rifle he has now, or another one.
I'm tempted to get a Contender and do the same[/QUOTE]
Do it. That rifle would be great for both storing and moving around bush/dense forest. I would love to make one out of a 44mag Contender.
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;48328010]9mm/38/357 is much easier to suppress than 44/45, they say
Pedersoli makes .357 rolling blocks (Mississippi model)[/QUOTE]
standard 9mm and .45 when facing each other supressed on quietness, .45 always wins because its already sub sonic.

I think you're right, frankly.

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;48306966]I think every gun owner will have a ND at some point, it's just a matter of whether or not you're following all the rest of the safety rules so nobody gets hurt when it happens. (and not being too proud to admit you fucked up)
Happened to me on the range with my AR-15 - I thought I cleared it but the extractor missed the chambered round. I figured it was empty (couldn't see the case at a quick glance) and pulled the trigger to drop the hammer. Gun was pointed downrange so all that happened was a surprise bang. It's easy to get complacent and assume you did it right but I've triple checked since then.[/QUOTE]
This is the second time this week I've read of someone NDing an AR by failing to properly clear it like that, and two weeks ago I read an autobiography of a Huey pilot in Vietnam who almost shot off his buddy's foot doing the same thing.
I dunno if it's the AR design or the length of .223 or just coincidence, but as a PSA: Check, double check, triple check. With any semi-auto I always rack the charging handle or slide two or three times, hard, then visually inspect the chamber to make sure it's clear before putting it down. It may seem redundant or overly cautious but a little bit of extra safety goes a long way, and I'm glad your accident happened in a controlled environment. Sorry if this sounds like brow-beating, I've just always taken the attitude that it's better to be paranoiacally safe when it comes to guns. An ND in your home could be damaging, and I still remember when some moron accidentally put a .45 from his CC through three apartments at my college.
On that note, I just bought a CZ-82 that I may use for CC if it shoots well and I can get some thinner grips. I've heard that a stronger recoil spring helps with the recoil on straight blowback 9x18s, can anyone confirm?
I learned to triple check the AR after that. I think the extractor relies on the bolt closing hard. Even if it's in battery the extractor may not properly engage the rim. I can't remember for sure but it seems like I had eased the bolt down that time.

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;48330993]yes, as for 9x19 and .45acp, standard loads are quite different.
however, i'm talking about gas expansions/suppressor design.
due to the skewed opening-to-baffle-volume ratio in .45 cans, it's harder to trap as much as gas as you would in an identically scaled 9mm can.
imagine three sucking straws;
one is .224"
other is 9mm
last is .45"
which one would be the easiest to blow through, and which one builds up more pressure?
right, .45" lets the most gas through while the .224" will have a higher pressure.
in practice, this means that the .224" suppressor will build up a higher pressure, making the gases seek the easiest way (in this case, expanding into the baffles/expansion chamber(s)).
9mm is the cut-off for efficient volume-vs-suppression design.
you can get very good .45" cans (the rectangular osprey is a good example) but their design is harder to make perfect than a regular 9mm can. most 9mm cans here (a-tec, brügger & thomet, ase and others) are just regular baffle designs in a cylinder. .45" cans are harder to make efficient, they will often trap less gases than wished
this is all sciency stuff that doesn't play a very big role, but i would rather suppress a weak .357 mag load than a .44 mag load[/QUOTE]
Reminder; most here are American. To us, the best and only suppressor we'll see without forking over dosh and waiting six hundred years is a PET bottle and some ducktape.
I heard that in Europe SVDs are sold commercially in .30-06. Do you know anything about those?

they're literally the same action. the modern "hunting" BAR is just lighter and more accurate, but other than that they're functionally the same in semi-auto configurations. the 1918 in semi is the same but a lot heavier, but it's [I]far cooler[/I] than the modern BAR. also if you hunt with it often i can imagine getting pretty swole from huffing it around the norwegian forests.
Not even close to the same, you can tell just by looking at them :v:
Plus the M1918 is open bolt, so if they shared the same action, the modern one would be totally illegal in the US except for Class 3 holders.
Hey guys, should I take my 1906 SxS all the way apart for probably the first time in its life for an inspection? I think it's ok as there's no rust or pitting on the outside, but I'm afraid there may be nasty rust on the inside. On the other hand it might be better if the insides are never exposed. What do you guys think?

Well something like that, it's a garage made firearm, supposedly worked too. I think the person was trying to go for the modern AK look or something.
Here is a link featuring it. [url]http://reflexivefire.com/tag/machine-gun/[/url]

Ew, carry handles. (I've never liked the look of carry handles on most guns).
MAC seems to have moved on from being a Tavor shill to be being a Turkish gun shill. I mean, his latest video is basically just a half-hour advertising feature for Zenith Firearms/MKE.
My only issue with MAC is that he will announce or show a preliminary review on a gun that he has, and then never post a full review. It's annoying. If the gun was not right or good, it would be nice to know what was wrong. The only gun he has returned to a more in depth review is the SIG 556R rifle.
As for the Turkish company, they make HK rifles. He loves HK rifles along with bullpups and AKs. These are really the only types rifles he cares about showing.
You also become a bigger fan of a gun/company if they invite you to go on a tour of their facility. I feel there is some quid pro quo going on.
Hmm, yes, squid pro row.
Well, I mean, if your job relies on companies fitting the bill to come see their goods; you kinda don't say they're junk. And if you're too busy to shoot a lot of other ideas because you're in a country a quarter the way around the world, it's a bit difficult to just go shoot whatever he wants in his back yard. It's kinda the nature of a lot of YT channels. Devin Ingraham for Ubisoft comes to mind especially.
The MPT looks like a well designed rifle. Hopefully they're eventually marketed in the US, I've been thinking about getting an AR10 and this seems like a good modernization of the system.
It looks like there's just too much going on with it. Like it could be lightened
Plus carry handles are retarded, we have slings for a reason
