He sent me this today. Check out those matching serial numbers. I'm so excited, I can't CONTAIN MYSELF.

Bore looks sharp and shiny.
A C96 expert type fellow told me that if it has no import markings it's likely a 'duffle import.' I guess that means it was smuggled. :v:
e: That's what it means - a soldier probably tossed it in his duffle on the way home instead of going through the hassle of capture papers.
[QUOTE=hydrated;46939775]but a suppressor isn't a handgun and there's no rule saying you can't attach a vfg to something that isn't a handgun. the law treats the suppressor as a separate firearm[/QUOTE]
The ATF’s Firearm Technology Branch issued a ruling on the addition of a fore grip to the rail of our Alpha Series Suppressor… A SECOND tax stamp will be required as they consider this an AOW. For those interested in pursuing this, please let us know in advance of your purchase so that we can “manufacture” the AOW for you. If you manufacture it = $200 tax stamp prior to manufacture. If we manufacture it, then transfer it to you = $5 tax stamp!

[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;46940421]Must be the stupidest shit I've seen all day if it's not just satire.
Pullingonly a little bit back on that thing would make the barrel and slide move and rend it useless.[/QUOTE]
It should work if they are pulling or pushing on it a little, the suppressor has to have a Nielsen device for it to work in short recoil operated pistols.

[QUOTE=massn7;46941187]DSA's SA58 line is highly regarded, I wouldn't hesitate to buy one. Atlantic is also a top notch company to order from, so if there are any issues they'll take care of you.[/QUOTE]
I agree, but I'd be wary of this:
"This is a New DSA Rifle model VOYAGER SA5821CRU-A is designed to provide the Legendary Quality of all DS Arms rifles but [i]at a fraction of the price[/i] of the SA 58 series "
Quality will suffer on products produced at a fraction of the price.
That being said, I have a DSA SA58 with no functional issues so far; only problem it has, and has been an issue on most SA58s, is that the rear sight is too short ( I need an Israeli rear sight). Conversely, for the front sight to work, it is too tall and you can't lower it far enough before it bottoms out.
Not sure how the economy model's sights are, but expect that issue. Once you get your gas setting right, it'll stop chewing up brass, but it will still throw it 40+ feet away.

[QUOTE=Zerokateo;46941070]So how does one buy an FAL, is it like buying an AK with hundreds of manufacturers oooor do i just buy one?[/QUOTE]
DSA's are the best that are still actively manufactured today, but anything built on a imbel receiver is good. Make sure to learn the difference between metric and imperial versions of the rifles.
So I was wondering something. Does anyone have any good recommendations for concealed carry? I don't have much, and frankly the only pistol I have the option to carry is a Jenning J-22, and yea, that ain't going to happen... I am not going to trust my life with that POS.

Glock compacts and subcompacts are always a good choice, and sig's line of pocket pistols and single stacks are also very good.
What it really comes down to is preference. It's going to be dependent on if you prefer hammer-fired or striker fired and whats actually comfortable to conceal in your waistband.
As long as you don't CC a 1911 or some other stupid bullshit like that, you're good.
I'm pretty certain CCing a 1911 would be a better idea than CCing a J-22, Trunk. I think even you'd admit having 7 rounds of .45 with a grip safety that you despise because reasons is better than 6 .22lrs.
CC'ing a 22lr falls under the "or some other stupid bullshit" clause.

Here be your yearly reminder to pay penance to the might Murdercube.
The M&P Shield is a nice pocket gun. Feels good to me, and shoots darn well.
Glocks are really nice. I have a 19 that I CC. Also on the totally opposite end of the spectrum, I have a Colt .25 Auto. Kahr makes some really nice little guns if you're not into Glocks or M&Ps

on a related note, trying out a thing on my glock, will report back with findings

Bought this SKS a while ago, looking through a few pictures of it and realized this one actually makes it look pretty ok. A bit beat, but it still shoots as straight as an arrow. Really happy with my purchase now that I've taken it out a few times, has been an excellent gun to learn the basics on.
Friend's AR build on the left, as a bonus. Planning on getting a bolt gun next, probably something nifty like a K-31. If not that, might hold off for a while and wait 'til I'm 21 and pick up a Security Six, always wanted a revolver.
Nice purse

May invest in a Glock, I have shot a Glock 22 before, liked it a lot. Friend had a Smith and Wesson Sigma 40, which I actually almost got. I know a local gun store that has an excellent layaway plan(You pay 20% then pay as little as 5 bucks a week till you pay it off.) That would help with the money issue. Gotta check up with them again soon, may get me something. I generally like 40, and 45. Thank you guys!

.40 > .45
Cheaper and more powerful, higher capacity.

If you're gonna go Glock, and you're choosing between .40 and .45, get the .40
The .45 and 10mm Glocks are slightly larger than their 9mm and .40cal counterparts. While it's not an extraordinary size difference, it can be pretty noticeable for a gun you intend to CC

Speaking of CC, anyone got recommendations for CC in the car? ( Not on your person ) Because Texas only allows car CC at 18.

well, you could have anything from an AK or AR pistol to a full size duty gun.
Whatever you choose, make sure you have a plan as to how to get to it and use it, whatever the situation.

Honestly, I wish everyone would stop pushing the 1986 kool-aid of .40 cal
There is no reason to use .40 nowadays when 9mm bullet technology has far surpassed its 1986 levels.
9mm gets you higher capacity and is more controllable than .40 or .45 which means you get your muzzle back on target faster.
I love .45 ACP, and it's my choice to carry it, but I recognize it's limitations in todays world with other, better currently existing solutions.
That being said, .40 cal guns and ammo are going to be pretty cheap from trade-ins because a large number of LE departments, not to mention the FBI, are switching back to 9mm.
Kind of tells you something when the agency that initiated ballistics testing that created two new purpose driven calibers switches back to what they were using before.
If you want 40cal you might as well go a step higher and get 10mm.
While I'm on the topic with a friend, does anyone know if it's legal to shoot a black powder pistol inside city limits being that the law does not consider them firearms?

Probably, doesn't mean you couldn't get in trouble for it.
Then again, people could call the cops if you were shooting an air rifle...

[QUOTE=download;46944692]If you want 40cal you might as well go a step higher and get 10mm.[/QUOTE]
Unless you buy ammo from Buffalo Bore or Underwood, or roll your own, you're just buying a bigger, more expensive .40
Hot 10mm isn't good for first time handgun owners either, that and for most people, guns that come in 10mm (save the G29) are too big to CC.
I just checked my city code and they consider a firearm to mean anything which projects a projectile with compressed air or burning powder so I guess the city considers black powder guns to be firearms even if the state and federal governments do not.
"Whenever the term "firearms" is used in this chapter, the term shall mean any instrument used in the propulsion of shot, shell or bullets or other harmful objects by the action of gunpowder exploded within it, or by the action of compressed air within it, or by the power of springs and including what are commonly known as air rifles and BB guns."

nick you dont have your cpl yet
The place we were gonna shoot is a big yard, not like a suburb or anything, I wouldn't shoot a bp pistol in that kind of environment regardless of legality due to safety reasons. I was just not sure if we'd be able to explain our way out of trouble if it came to that. You can't shoot black powder on the indoor ranges and outdoor ranges are not legal. I'm glad I looked that up because I won't be wasting the money on a black powder gun I'll never be able to shoot.

Ours is keeping the 40cal because no officers wants a 9mm here. They like their Glock 22's and Hydra Shok rounds for the most part.
at my old job we'd occasionally shoot black powder rifles indoors in the middle of the city. we had a trap set up in one corner and we kept the loads light so they wouldn't bust up the cinder blocks incase someone missed
I'm looking into putting a bipod on my AR, any suggestions? I want to keep it under $80. I looked into grip pods, but they seem to be shitty compared to a decent bipod.
