Not like it's impossible to get a good setup with a generic PSO, its actually really easy. Had one on an M1A at one point and it was great. Hows the rangefinder work for your AR?
You can't fight in here. This is the war room!
[QUOTE=Cyke Lon bee;51097331]If you're not willing to put in the time to adjust a rifle to a scope, then don't buy a kalinka optic. 99% of the time it will be as easy adjusting a cheek riser, but they're still scopes meant for [i]specifically[/i] for AK type rifles.[/QUOTE]DaCommie1's looks just fine [I]which is why I inquired about it.[/I]

Everybody shut the fuck up and quit trying to get the last word in.
We've kept this thread relatively civil thus far, let's not bring the mods down on our heads. If you're going to fight, take outside.

Considering the rangefinder is meant to be used against a person and I can only bring my AR to the range where distances are known it's an interesting novelty but kinda useless. As far as drop is concerned, I blasted 100 rounds off at 200m and learned that .223 basically doesn't drop at 200m in clear weather compared to 100m.

Yup. Part of why the Russians made the switch to 5.45. You get a flatter trajectory.
I don't know if you guys were into that wooden G11 patches I was showing off earlier. But I just opened my store if you want any. I'm also going to sell all kinds of firearm-related stuff. Like dial-covers for Liberty Safes etc.

Those are really cool, but what are you supposed to do with wood patches?
[QUOTE=Birdman101;51099121]Those are really cool, but what are you supposed to do with wood patches?[/QUOTE]
If you have velcro on a jacket, bag or plate carrier you just wear them on that. Some people collect patches, like me.

I also make things that aren't patches though. If you come up with an idea or design and want it engraved, I can do it.

I'd buy it anyways.
I might grab one of them "dont tread on me or my son" snek patches in a bit. I think my friend has some velcro on his old marines bag. Hed like that.
So, I was looking into TAP again. What do y'all think of the different bullet weights, eg 75gr vs 55gr and so on? I was thinking, if 55gr has a lower chance of winding up in a neighbor's living room than 75gr while still being nasty to get hit by, I should probably consider switching to that. Illinois isn't anywhere near as bad as states like Cali or NY, but the prosecutors around here are still pretty hostile to gun-crime and perceived gun-crime, thanks to the Chiraq issue. If, God forbid, I end up having to use my rifle in earnest, I'd like to minimize the liability risk as much as possible.
[QUOTE=ilikecorn;51093596]Yea... Don't try to build any of the HK style weapons without knowing what your getting into. Its an absolute pain in the dick. By all means, if your confident in your abilities, go for it. But they're entirely different beasts.[/QUOTE]
Actually my CETME was about the easiest rifle I've ever built. I had more trouble with the FAL that I ended up giving up on and selling off the parts for.

I have a few boxes of 77gr that I haven't had a chance to use yet. If I do, I'll let you know.
So I emailed Ian over at forgotten weapons to try and figure out what this mag goes to, but I figured I'd give you guys a crack at it too.
At first glance you would think that it belongs to a com bloc firearm of some sort, however the front to back length is too long for a 5.45 and the feed lips are too narrow to properly feed 7.62x39. It also doesn't have a front catch like an AK or Vz. The only identifiable marks is the number 15 on the mag catch and a "12" (the 2 was stamped upsidedown) on the inside of the floor plate. It is Unique in that it uses a clock style (negator) spring which is riveted to the top of the mag and follows a channel in the side, similar to those old Eagle 10/22 magazines that were garbage.
After doing some digging the closest thing I could come up with was an AAI ACR based on what little photos i could find of the magazine, which would coincide with the front to back mag length (however we were able to load a standard 5.56 into it, which according to various sources the magazines for those were designed to not accept standard 5.56). It also has horizontal rips going down the magazine, to which the photos I saw were all slab sided.

That's totally weird. I feel like I've seen it before but I can't place it.
Maybe a replacement mag for that odd ball sks knock off thats in like 7.62x49 or something like that
[QUOTE=Cyke Lon bee;51101155]Maybe a replacement mag for that odd ball sks knock off thats in like 7.62x49 or something like that[/QUOTE]
Feed lips aren't wide enough. It's almost as if it were made for 5.56, which would go with the ACR theory but it's still too long front to back unless its and even earlier round from around project SALVO time or something.
Like these maybe

My stupid M10 jammed every single shot today. It's going to a gunsmith before it gets shot again.
C96 did great as always... an old feller on the range was absolutely tickled pink by it so I let him shoot it, he thought it was totally awesome. He shook my hand 3 times.
Shot a hostage target with my 1911. I saved Susan's life repeatedly until I tried to shoot one handed. Susan did not survive that one.
Chewed through 50 rounds or so on my friend's new M92. Not crazy about that gun. It didn't have any problems but the magazines were a pain to load and the gun wasn't all that much fun to shoot.
[QUOTE=ilikecorn;51101253]Susan's a bitch though. Totally had it coming.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, like, how many times can you get yourself in the same hostage situation?
[img]http://i.imgur.com/bjw4WY8.png[/img]
I like that you can still get a pretty good score on this target even if you hit Susan in the forehead. It's like, "yeah, you killed the hostage, but you totally nailed that guy in the head 14 times, it was sick brah"

The last round I put through the jam-happy M10 was to put Susan out of her misery though
Welp, I know exactly what ammo I'm getting when I get the PTR.

That's almost too cool to shoot, holy shit. The cold-warrior in me wants to hoard it and wait for Soviet paratroopers to land in my backyard.

I have a few cases of that. It shot really well. I'm just waiting to get another 308 rifle before I can shoot the rest.
[QUOTE=Cyke Lon bee;51101494]Maybe a magazine for 280 british or something then?[/QUOTE]
I hope Ian knows. There's a good chance that it remains a mystery, though... all kinds of weird prototype shit was never documented or never documented thoroughly. Like my prototype ammo can from the 30s :v:
It could totally be something obscure like a prototype magazine for what became the EM-2 or something and there'd really be no way to know.
[editline]24th September 2016[/editline]
I thought at first it looked like an SR-3's magazine, but if it won't feed 7.62 there's no way it feeds 9x39.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/Iyf6t64.jpg[/img]
Something screams combloc about that mag though.
If I remember correct, 7.62x39, 5.45x39 and 9x39 all use similar cases, hence the x39. In theory, they should all fit in the same magazines, kinda like .300 Blackout and .223 Remington. Am I correct?
They're similar, but 9x39 magazines would need to be wider toward the front to accommodate a wider shoulder:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/jIs9IUH.jpg[/img]
This is why AS VAL, VSS Vintorez, and Grozas all have funny looking magazines. It might fit but it won't feed right. You can tell just looking at the 9x39 Groza that its magazines are wider:
[img]http://i.imgur.com/klgCL1m.jpg[/img]
(Sidenote: I think I would actually kill for one of these rifles. I'm surprised nobody builds a 7.62 version in the US. They aren't that different from AKMs.)
i'd love to do gun stuff in general but god damn if california isn't the worst state for it
which sucks because pretty much my entire life planning lines up super nicely with Cali outside of that

There was a project for them oj /k/ a few years back but im pretty sure its dead in the water
A 7.62 Groza?
Yes please.
