Gun Porn!

And then there's the infamous "orange cratewood" stock on some Type 56s. Only Tapco conversion I'd really feel is not at risk of causing sacrilege. Especially since the Tapco stuff is apparently all over the place in terms of build quality. And apparently nobody outside the prepper crowd has really bothered reviewing the kit.

For those who like paintball and the more "real feel" look of the markers.

The first video is kind of quiet so you may want to turn it up when you watch.

Someone who is really into the hobby. Interesting vids to watch.

Re: my previous post — My mistake, the reddish-brown plastic stock was found on certain Chinese, not Russian, SKSes. They're usually called "Jungle Stocks" by collectors. The way the story goes, some weapons were stashed away somewhere deep in the jungles of Southeast Asia, and the local insects found the wood stocks to be very tasty, so the ChiComs began producing a stock made of phenolic resin or Bakelite that termites wouldn't eat. Dunno how true any of that is...

Huge find of WWII guns in a Warehouse Russian Warehouse was packed to the gills with WWII Era guns.

Modern Makarov? Russian "Udav" Pistol To Complete Trials Late 2016.

Personally, I liked Kalashnikov Concern's new model they introduced not long ago.

Well at least it isn't a heel release handgun like the original Makarov.

Well, it fails the aesthetics test right off the bat. That thing is UGLY with a capital "Ugh!"

I mean, it's prettier than the Glock, but HK's customer service attitude is prettier than a Glock.

I dunno, I thought Glocks were fugly too, when they first came out. But pretty is as pretty does, and Glocks have earned my respect and admiration. This new Russian pistol is a complete unknown at the moment; maybe it'll be the next AK-47 in terms of popularity, maybe not.

Happy 4th◊

Why? Because there is always one.

Why we can't have nice things.

I dear, I can't imagine how tense it was to remove that stuck round.

I'd imagine whoever was the poor soul tasked with that was afraid the ramrod or something like that would strike the cap and fire the bullet.

Speaking as an armorer you would pull it from the front via pliers. Much safer.

Surely you just shake it until it comes out. Whack the gun a few times.

It worked in Far Cry 2.

And that is why you don't trust Air Force.

Actually I am pretty sure that is a Lcpl Smuckatelly of the USMC moment. That sure looks a lot like MARPAT desert tans I have worn and had issued. Still can't top a grunt getting his rifle run over by tank on a hard rocky soil desert floor of the Mojave. Man fuck that place.

Yep, not Air Force this time.

Air Force camo is a sort of grey/blue/greenish shade, while that's the tan/pink pattern worn by the Marines and the Navy. I've seen some middle-eastern looking troops wearing that pattern (or something very similar to it) complete with MARPAT headdresses, so it might possibly not be an American at all, but it's not like the US doesn't also produce better idiots than anyone else when there's a call for competition.

...

How do you accomplish that.

"It wasn't easy!"

I thought it was LCPL Schmuckatelli? Ya know, in keeping with the original Hebrew Italian spelling?

edit

On the pic in question, given that that's a rimless cartridge containing a US issue 9mm NATO round, and thus has the same dimensions front to back, shouldn't that bullet just slide out with fairly gentle pressure unless it's been jammed right down the throat of the barrel?

Tam: They are cousins.

AFP: Indeed. There is usually an interesting story to every one of those mishaps.

The worst range story I've seen with mishandling ammo was when a range master was introducing someone to basic magazine loading and the loading table had both 9mm and .40 S&W, since they both have similar dimensions the person loaded a mix of 9mmm and .40 in the 9mm handgun.

Eventually the gun jammed and the range master extracted the jammed round from the gun, he berated the guy who loaded the magazine with mixed rounds, but I'd argue it was his fault for not telling the person that those rounds were different and would jam the gun if both were loaded.

But still, I've heard some fudds nearly won a Darwin Award for feeding 7.62 NATO on their Mossins and force fire it.

I'm sure there's been 7.62 NATO calibre Mosins floating around out there. As in properly rebarrelled/rechambered versions. There's even ZB-26 light machine guns out in the wild that were converted to fire 7.62mmX39 rounds, and they were made for full-on 7.92mmX57 rifle ammunition, and later morphed into the famous Bren gun, using 7.7mm British (.303 for imperialists out there).

But firing the NATO round from a normal Mosin wouldn't be my idea of fried gold.

New post.

Found this on the STALKER reddit page and I think there's something eerily familiar about it.
