Gun purchases. Panic buying new fags. And other shit. Strelok 07/28/2020 (Tue) 23:30:07 No.4526

Alright faggots. 2020 so far has been fun and it created a ton of new fags for the gun community. Now this board is likely not the first, second, or third place a new fag will come for gun advice. So this is not that thread. So have any of you: Bought a gun sometime this year? Bought a piece of gear like an optic or maybe even armor? Helped someone buy a gun? Teach someone how to not anhero? Or did you laugh and call someone a faggot for not buying earlier? Did a family member or friend or coworker become a total retard the second they got their first gun? either turning into an internet tough guy or saying I'm a 2A person now """"""BUT"""""" Were you planning to buy something but just said fuck it due to the lines and/or couldn't because of stripped bare shelves? Do any of you happen to work in a gun store and did you get fun phone calls from people in shitholes asking to buy a fun and have it delivered to their doors? Do you live and work in a shithole and have the fun of explaining the hoops they have to jump through? Did you explain the hoops and obstacles with a shit eating grin on your face? I've been trying to get two friends to get a gun for a while now and neither have made the effort to even get a wood stick for defense even though one said he wanted a fun for possible shtf reasons way before gook aids was a thing. Some people can't get motivated by seeing hordes of retards talk about spreading the fun I guess. I've helped two boomer age pencil pushers by taking them to the range and letting them fire an okay amount I think of self defense oriented guns (AR, shotguns, DA\SA and striker fired handguns, a revolver also) and got paid for it too. They had a bit of a reaction upon seeing the AR A3/A4 20 inch style but after handling the shotguns and handguns they warmed up real quick to it. Lines had been forming outside of gun shops when this all kicked off, sometimes wrapping around the block while the rain was pouring. I figured I would wait for the panic buying to calm down and thought I'd be safe since the gun I've been wanting was either a Ruger sp101 or a Smith and Wesson J-frame thinking plastic blasters and shotguns would be the only things that would be hard to restock. But then a wonderful culture spreader got subtracted from the diversity interaction statistics, and for now I won't be able to larp as a 30s detective or CC in a plastic dog shit bag in hand while blasting a home made pharmaceuticals enthusiast if it ever comes to it.

I bought my WASR back in late march, just before the panic buying fucked the prices of guns.

I got a Hunter Force air gun and a Pedersoli black powder rifle in case the apocalypse hits.

A month before the panic set in the states I bought a gun and some plates. Unfortunately the plates and the carrier have still yet to get here. Fortunately for me I don't have many friends so no two faced nigger buying was going on around me to piss me off.

Strelok 07/29/2020 (Wed) 17:34:03 No.4547

I already had some funs before this and got a hold of an AR and another pistol as well. I did not get any vests, belts, or other useful items however which I really should have.

I gave away multiple firearms to friends/family before wu-flu kicked in, I was looking at the shorty semi-auto 12 gauge shotguns but they all seem to be bought out. Currently reading up on the keltec KS7 if that's worth getting since they are still (kinda) available.

>>4552 It's spring piston, so no recharging necessary. Not quite as much power, but it's quiet and still good enough to kill most stuff with good enough aim.

>>4526 I was building my first AR since I believe a year ago. Now I'm almost complete, literally need to drill 1 more hole and then I have a fully functional lower. The collet for the router flew off of it, and I'm just waiting for that. I bought fuck loads of ammo a few days ago. They restock on Saturdays, so I am extremely lucky I was there on Saturday morning because the store is around 40 miles away from my home. I went to shoot with my dad, and we shot up all our ammo, and then we went to the stores to get more. Almost all the stores were empty of common calibers like .22 LR .223, 9mm and .45 ACP. My dad only owns a .45 1911, and I have a 10/22 and a .22 Pistol (Hi-Standard Sport King). Had to go through like 12 stores. Dad finally found some cheapshit Tula .45 (100 rounds for 30 bucks) and I got 150 rounds of Hornady 5.56, around 100 rounds of cheapshit Wolf hollow point, some PMC X-TAC 5.56, and 400 rounds of Armscor .22LR Hollow Point. My dad bought some 9mm as well for his friends as his friends said they haven't had any luck. Was told by other people that Californians will drive to your state and buy fuck loads of ammo and drive back home. This may have been the reason why ammo was so scarce.

>>4573 >Was told by other people that Californians will drive to your state and buy fuck loads of ammo and drive back home It's almost like the law that prohibits buying "Too Much" ammo doesn't do anything except piss off everyone that lives near Commieforina.

Strelok 07/30/2020 (Thu) 20:05:23 No.4577

>>4575 The only decently priced .22 I bought was from a store that had a policy of 100 rounds per customer. The box came in 200 so that was a exception. My dad bought one and I bought one. Every other store either had no 22LR, or it had shit like ratshot or meme match .22 that costed as much as 9mm. I really wish other gun stores had that policy, but honestly if Californians start killing eachother, I would gracefully let them cuck me out of our ammo.

Strelok 07/30/2020 (Thu) 23:01:00 No.4581

>>4573 Is online purchasing a no go for you guys don't want records or bad shipping costs? Because I've been getting slammed every other day with emails about "a small shipment of ammo has arrived" usually range stuff and rarely defensive kinds unfortunately >Was told by other people that Californians will drive to your state and buy fuck loads of ammo and drive back home This shit's hilarious since most of the gun shops or ammo stores I've seen in California like LAX ammo or bass pro shop still have shelves or pallets laid out and about half full at least a month ago. >>4577 >but honestly if Californians start killing eachother, I would gracefully let them cuck me out of our ammo. Don't count on that. Gang members already get their shit from other sources not like they need much anyways since jamal just buys a blaster and enough ammo to fill it assuming jamal didn't buy since he can stuff random .380, 9 mil, and somehow .40 together in there . The antifa types are more likely to wear black just for a selfie and to collect virtual ass pats. The few that actually would do shit are probably already up in Portland getting culturally expanded by tyrone cause they thought they had a nigger word pass. Roof gooks or suburb militias haven't formed or shot anything from what I can see since most faggots would rather fight their "revolution" on the internet, and whatever happens to rich libs in Beverly Hills is no skin off their noses. >>4574 I wouldn't be surprised if he only said that cause he thinks hes some kind of arbiter of firepower and protection deeming anyone not suited in mossyoak fit only for .410 single shots and .22s. Which in my local area is something that another gun shop is claimed to have done in an interview with a lib online rag. They refused to sell anything more powerful than a 20 gauge to anyone who looked like a new shooter and the damning thing is that their shop is almost only milsurp, sporterized guns, and traditional rifles/shotguns, and maybe a few used handguns.

Commiefornian here and most common calibers are pretty much gone or crap like UMC, Freedom buckets, or Winchester Forged though 308 & shotgun ammo is still available, I was really surprised 8mm Mauser wasn't in stock at a couple of my go-tos but even more so that Romanian silvertip 7.62x54r spamcans were available. Places would often have 3-5 people standing before being allowed entry into the store, and the last place I visited had fudd guns being 60-80 percent in stock.

>>4728 The panic was delayed a couple weeks in bumfuck Appalachia, but now it's the same situation as everywhere else. Decent 9mm JHP like Hornady is going for well over $1/rd on the classifieds. HST and Gold Dots aren't available at any price locally.

>>4728 You north, central, or south commifornia? If south Places like LAX are fairly well stocked cheap reloads and common caliber hollow points are a bust .45 and .357 are somewhat safe and sometimes Ammo bros has shit. Just stay away from big 5 and other larger retailers like Turners. If you're reloading for your 8 mauser then you're in luck since sites like grafs and sons still have cheap ppu .323 in stock and at the same prices before the happening.

The influx of newfag shooters has made it so I can't shoot anonymously at any local ranges. Every fucking range now requires ID to sign in and has cameras covering the shooting areas because these retards are trashing the ranges. About half of them now have geriatric Fudd RO's posted up at the shooting lanes. Shit has gotten so lame that I'm driving 50 miles to shoot on private land. >gallery style pistol range for rimfire and pistols >retards shoot it up with their $800 poverty ponies

>>5009 That's a normal price for most crossbows that aren't "starter tier" according to enthusiast. It's niche as fuck only really bought by hunters that can't or don't want to wait for the next season or pad out the time blasting boars or rabbits. With so few people actually buying those ancient shits and impatient hunters being mostly boomers with too much money but too little energy to walk around and check brushes for rabbits, then it's no surprise why the higher end crossbows cost as much as they do. Especially if the crossbow has the same camo as their ~$1000 (with accessories) tree stand, matching with their $300+ vest with built in memory foam ass cushion, containing $50 or more in dehydrated ice cream sandwiches, cause they're roughing it like the cavemans do.

>>5027 You joke but yes in a way. Hunters want a slim, light weight, compact, package especially when dealing with brush and tree limbs a package like a 16-20-something inch bolt gun or BP rifle so companies create weird small limb, reverse limb, or no limb systems. They'll perform about the same as a cheaper normal design but with added complexity to make a sub-optimal design work as well think tavor with the outside body made first then the insides made to fit the nerf gun shell. There is an argument to be made about "buying once crying once" but it's not even about quality half the time anymore and about how scifi it looks. But on the other hand I don't expect some $50 amazon chink shit to work as well as a $700 excalibur.

I haven't checked my local store in months and even back then they were limiting common ammo to two boxes per customer a day. I looked online and prices for 5.56mm seem higher than the last time I looked. I've never ordered ammo online but I'm thinking about sending out for 1,000 rounds even at the current prices. Anyone had any luck getting something shipped these last couple of months? I can't find ARs in stock anywhere right now but I'd like to get a couple even if I have to pay double what I was paying a couple of years ago for them.

>>5351 If you're in a blue state then even stripped lowers (besides 9mm carbines and plastic shit) are gone. Places and states where people have actually bought guns might still have parts up the ass. Ammo has been on the rise I remember .223 or 5.56 being around $.30 now it's regularly up to $.50 or even $.75 for 55 grain fmj. If you sign up for a sellers news letter they'll bombard you with emails almost always about a "NEW SMALL SHIPMENT JUST CAME IN". You just need to cross your fingers and hope it's what you want and not just a bunch of tokarev or .32 S&W short. Even if it's what you're looking for expect it to be range blaster stuff like Russian steel case. Good luck on your search for an AR even if you find one off buds gun shop or something you better hope the FFLs are still doing transfers. I'm not sure why some have been shutting off transfers besides wanting to make sure they the money goes to them but you'd think they're losing money by not raking in transfer fees.

I know what you mean about prices for 5.56mm I was surprised to see that FMJs are that high now. How are the prices for 7.62mm? I'm expecting they've gone up too. I don't own a rifle for that but I have a local willing to trade an SKS for something I already own. I might have to do that if I can get ammo for it. I'm fine other than having less 5.56mm than I would like. Just trying to figure out how to arm some people in the family that waited this long to buy in. How are reloading supplies? If brass, bullets, and powder isn't being panic bought I might just go ahead and invest in a press. Been meaning to do that for years anyway.

>>5355 Sorry only AK I own is a 74 so I never really looked at 7.62 but I'd imagine even tula is getting to be about $.30-$.40 assuming the site you look at isn't jacking prices up lots. Reloading parts are getting scarce not so much the powder, cases, and bullets, but the primers. Especially since the ammo manufactures themselves need them. Some sites I use are Grafs and sons and mid south shooters but good luck finding shit, it wasn't nearly as bad some weeks ago. The situation is almost so fucked that I'm considering getting into black powder for plinking instead of using .22s.

Example: 303 british. The issue is finding one that won't be more expensive then the cost of regular ammo 6.8 SPC or grendel?

My closest thing to hipster caliber in my safe is 8mm mauser and apparently people near me also love to goose step with their yugos in the living room since that was actually the first caliber gone from the shelves during the first chimp out. Luckily I still have some reloading components.

Because fucking election cycle + covid sold this shit out faster than KFC in detroit >>5363 thanks for the warning strelok. That being said, I know this isn't QTDDTOT but anyone have a recommendation for a semi-auto in .308 that has somewhat commonly found parts in the US? I know the M1A/garand /PSL/AR-10 exist Does armalite still use the propertiary mags? but I wasn't sure if there was a more common firearm that wasn't using clips (garand), SR9 Can't find any, AR-10 DPMS versus armalite bs, M1A also overpriced as fuck imho. ... Have a picture of a dude selling rifles I can't afford somewhat near me, I cry everytime these get sold to a fudd and not used properly like any true lad would.

>>5367 >He wants a garand that isn't some beat to death rust pipe First step is to sacrifice your first born to the fudd gods and offer them your left nut for a 1 in 10,000 chance at getting the opportunity to write a letter begging the grand boomer to accept your filthy cash. No but seriously CMP is pretty much the only way to get still usable (out of the box anyway) rifles. Usually you'd have to take a shooting test or go to competitions along with proving you volunteered at gun related stuff then you get a ticket that shows your place in line so only once they contact you they'd let you buy a rifle. Last I checked M1s that weren't blown the fuck out were in the high $2000s. There's old boomers who make make their beer money using thier qualifications to buy up the beaters and turn them into fixed up franken rifles and sell them on gunjoker for the price of a decent AR and a gen 2 night vision set. You'd think someone would try to make repro M1 rifles like they do the carbines that would probably cost no more than an M1A. but I'm certain there's a fudd and springfield conspiracy to assassinate any one who gets their hands on the complete specs for the rifles who also happen to own a cnc machine so as to not sully the grand ancient with modern manufacturing because no one wants to admit their new guns had a grand total of 45 minutes of labor from human hands and everyone wants to romantically believe their gun was personally crafted by the gun oompa loompas that live only to happily craft away in the machine shop.

Tho since we're on the topic of true repro M1 Garands, I might look apply some autism and contacts and see if I can't do something about that. Best case scenario it'll take several years to make anything happen. So y'know, continue not holding your breath.

Strelok 09/07/2020 (Mon) 07:09:53 No.5502

>>5370 The Garand would be noticibly harder to make a reproduction of than the M1 Carbine and M14. Before the M1 Carbine, the TDP for guns was loose enough that parts from different factories were not interchangable. There's also the fact that the equipment needed to make a Garand is from a completely different era than what is cheap to do today. It's why a 1911 varies so wildly in quality compared to an AR15. We're not quite at the price for historical Garands where building new ones is worth it and every time we've gotten close, some US ally remembers the ones we loaned them actually belong to us.

>>5367 Get a good AR-10 variant. Cheap, reliable, and readily available mags. Parts readily available, great aftermarket, good price to performance ratio, solid optics mount out of the box. I'm assuming you want a fighting rifle. But if you're really poor a 308 is a poor choice because the ammo is insanely expensive and you can carry far less on your person. Unless you are specifically trying to punch through car doors and go long range.

>>4526 Poorfag here. Noguns. I live in a bad state. I'm not yet 21 and it's looking like I'm going to be shit out of luck, sadly. I'm hoping I can scrape together some money soon. Get a cheap rifle. Probably a Henry AR7 since it's the cheapest I can legally get, and it'll takedown and fit in a bag since I don't want to have problems with people about it. So I'd rather they not even know I have one. When I turn 21 I'd like to get a RIA M206 revolver. again, really cheap. Bad idea or what? I turn 21 only after election day. So I would rather at least have something before then.

Strelok 09/15/2020 (Tue) 11:28:23 No.5689

>>5687 If you can, get a 10-22 takedown instead of the Henry. It's a lot more versalite. A .38 revolver is a great choice but you can probably just get any old used one that's in decent shape and feels solid. Doesn't have to be that specific model. If you are getting the M206 for conceal, go for the spurless if possible.

>>5687 >RIA M206 Pretty sweet. Just know that RIA sometimes contradict themselves when the +P question comes up. Common sense would say that yes it could handle +P but not consistently the same way a classic gun from long ago could probably but you wouldn't want to fuck one of those up, which realistically wouldn't matter since the 206 is about blasting it in anger and then forgetting about it in the evidence locker while you go ogle some other new guns.

As someone who was a lazy faggot/had more immediate needs than funs/was stuck in a blue city with zero funs shops until it was pretty much too late, reminder that you can still at least try to defend yourself without funs. Bear repellent spray, demo tools from your local hardware store, and guerilla-tier improvised firearms are less than ideal, but if shit really does hit the fan it could mean the difference between life and death. If you buy predator spray remember to buy some token camping gear to go with it, otherwise the pigs may give you hassle if you use it against a "proactive looter" because you obviously bought it to hurt people.

Recently got a Type-81 LMG. Overall fit and finish is better than the rifle, but that's not saying too much with Chicom stuff. Some of the machining on the LMG bolt(the one with the black box) is rougher, and I also don't appreciate carving the serial number into the bolt lug, but it has smoother travel than the rifle. The rifle recoil spring is a bit better imo, I find it's easier to take off the dust cover. However the dust cover on the LMG is tight, whereas the rifle's rattles slightly. Triggers are similar. The carry handle isn't as stiff as I'd like, but after using it I don't feel like it's weak.

Are high capacity meme guns any good, or should I just get more common weapons and invest in lots of magazines?

Strelok 10/18/2020 (Sun) 01:27:40 No.7567

>>7566 The PS90 is pretty cool. I don't know of the 1216 shotgun, I think mag fed shotguns are kinda meh because you need to take out the mag to top it off when with tube fed you can just top it off whenever, unless you are doing a swift raid where you need to pop off as much rounds as fast as possible. I don't think the Calico is any good. Maybe get a Magpul D-60 for your AR and then reload with standard 30 rounders after. Thats what my setup is right now but there is a lot of different ways to fill in this problem.

Strelok 10/18/2020 (Sun) 01:47:27 No.7569

>>7566 I've always though P90s were a really cool looking weapon and the high capacity of its magazine was always really appealing. The downsides of course are that you can't buy a full auto one, at least affordably and the ammo is fairly uncommon and kind of expensive, assuming you buy it in its original caliber, 5.7x28mm. on the subject of that, I actually believe I have seen an upper for an AR that allows you to use P90 mags and 5.7x28mm ammo but for the life of me I can't remember what it was called. >>7567 A lot of people had problems with the calico because they weren't using the proper ammunition. appearently you have to use very "hot" ammo to get the weapon to cycle properly, or least that's what I've heard. Also a question regarding your P-mag, do you have any reliability issues with it? I've heard drum magazines can have that sometimes. image semi related.

>>7582 I think the mag's guts were removed so you can probably run it with subsonics and a suppressor, then use a empty mag as a brass catcher. It sounds like a really cool concept really. But I think they stopped making the AR-57 because of how unreliable they are. They only ran with their line of magazines and FN's line of mags, other aftermarket mags didn't work properly. I think they also spiked up in price because again they stopped making them.

Streloks, I need advice. I live in a nofuns country but I've been working on getting a pistol license, and I'll finally have it soon. I've wanted a CZ 75 as my first pistol ever since Rally shilled it hard to me, but with the way shit's going I'm considering a Glawk 17 or 19 instead, which are the local military and police service pistols. On the one hand all guides say to avoid snowflake guns for SHTF, and CZs and their parts are already more expensive to get where I live, but on the other hand I know my heart just won't be with it if I get a glawk. Which fun would you recommend?

Strelok 10/22/2020 (Thu) 14:15:02 No.7752

>>7747 I can only vouch for the CZ being an owner of a BD. If you buy it then you'll also need to replace the firing pin retaining pin with a solid roll pin instead of their hollow factory one because the hammer will eventually push the firing pin through it. Thus why you need a solid one to keep the firing pin from launching out the back into oblivion. Assuming thats the weapon youll be maining for some time you should also buy as many mags as you think is necessary at the same time as every thing else you should purchase for it. That being said CZ doesn't make wonder weapons or caters to poorfags. Get a cheap semi auto .22 cal rifle over a pistol and if not then prefer to have a compact size pistol over a full size in 9mm or lower being your cheapest bet. SCCY may be a better option or even Walther but i wont speak much on weapons Ive never shot.

>>7747 GO with what your heart wants. If parts are a concern, buy a parts kit, buy a few if you're paranoid. I don't get the emphasis people place on guns with easily available/cheap parts. As long as you don't buy garbage guns, or surplus that has seen countless rounds, nothing on your gun will break until you hit the high thousands round count. The only time you'd ever fire that volume is peacetime, and at that point you have access to parts. During SHTF, not only is ammo conservation is paramount, but avoiding fights altogether is the single most effective way to survive one. At that point you shouldn't be shooting so much that you experience breakages, unless you're looking for trouble. In that case, you'll likely die before hitting those numbers anyway.

>>7747 Get a rifle before a pistol, but if you must have (or can only get) a pistol then the glock is by far the better choice if you're concerned about parts availability in your area in a SHTF scenario since you could just kill a zogbot for spares, but I can tell you that CZ 75s are very nice guns, though the slide is thinner than most other handguns so it's a little weird to pull on it if you have large hands. Take some time to seriously assess how likely you think a shitstorm is to happen in the next couple of years and decide accordingly. Either way won't be a wrong decision, glocks aren't the hand grenade meme pieces of shit they used to be and they're also pretty comfortable in the hand I think. There's no external safety outside of the lever on the trigger though, so take that into consideration if you're not very experienced with firearms and aren't comfortable with carrying when you have a round chambered.

They talk shit about GLAWKS because they have mental diseases like being a hipster or more likely being a homosexual. wish they'd cost about the same as a beretta apx though That being said you cant fix a cucked glock mag without buying from 10/30 mag makers who charge ~5 dollars higher than a factory mag and then drill out the shitty rivet then dunk the mag body in hot water to weaken the epoxy sealing assuming you live in a state that requires the belt and suspenders setup. A CZ Mec-Gar mag is about the same price as a glock factory mag (~26 burger coupons) and are available in restricted forms that only require a few minutes of dremel tool work to make them standard capacity (they also hold 17 rounds).
