wait so what was the consensus on the FAL parts kits Imbel or L1A1

Imbel good, L1A1 a pain to get a receiver and proper mags

Otherwise good

spmthe Ausi ones are Metric?

You could just get a barreled Receiver from DSA

Yes Aussie are Inch

Not metric

ok, so why wouldnt I be able to find a reciever?

you mean finding an actual L1A1 reciever?

Do you want a Century Receiver or a 1k DSA inch Receiver?

1k USD

Get a barreled Receiver from DSA, get a cheaper parts kit minus the barrel

yeah the discussion on the Sarge milsurp ones might be moot

that ship has sailed

@RollerDelayedSabot I feel like we’re repeating ourselves here

People do your fuckin research

Wanna build a FAL? Maybe spend a few hours reading falfiles or something.

@Nic386 Look around for a pre-44k DSA Receiver

i just thought about it and am just asking questions before i. go look for myself when zi get home

why pre-44k? and is that refering to Serial# or something else

LMT contract receiver

why was LMT buying FAL recievers?

They built them for DSA

oooh

it was LMT making them

ok

and thats the serial number thats pre-44k?

Yes

ok cool

Move over d3crm

I mean SOG used to use chicom chest rigs for Thompson mags in ‘Nam

You wouldn’t be the first yank to do it

I think I’ve seen a dude with one over his IOTV

everyone has run chicoms

fuck knows spook teams do

the fucking contractor special

cheap, tough, can be work over a slick

It just sorta works, no frills

You can stuff many different mags in it, or even a bottle of vodka

flasks

chicom pouches fit flasks very well

LARPing I see.

Something like that

I would buy this, is it for sale?

Never mind I just saw it says meme on it

Selling 8 FAL mags and a cleaning kit if anyone is interested

Asking 160 and shipping

i want a gun

Gib FAL

@Nic386 got 1k?

Ye

I can git you a DSA Voyager

16”, 18”, or 21”

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

But how

Friend and former dealer employee

Oh

Are the Voyagers good? They look ok just from the pictures from the website

They’re alright guns

They hold their value well, decent shooters

I’ve owned two

Why did you get rid of them?

People offered more than I paid 😂

Ah, always a fair sale

Yes

~~though I'm too sentimental for it personally~~

got my first battle rifle :^)

What manufacturer?

Looks like an older PTR

@LazySama You’re gonna want to replace that handguard

Heats up like a motherfucker

That shit gets super hot about 70-100 rounds in

Yeah im trying to look for a green wide handguard

Mine has one of those too, fiberglass reinforced with a heat shield. I end up taking the thing off every 100 or so rounds to let the barrel and hand guard cool

I got a spare black one

Did it come with the bayonet lug or just the cap?

just the cap

Oof

Wait, is the bayonet lug a flat bit sticking out of the cap with a slot In the side of it?

I guess I could just paint a black handguard

No

That’s a CETME lug

Ah

HK is a push in design

So what I described is the bayonet lug for a CETME?

Yes

HK

Oh, huh so how does it latch in the tube exactly? Because the CETME one has 2 retaining plungers that have to be pushed in for removal

Uses a screw

With crush washer

Oh ok

So it just screws in

@RollerDelayedSabot

tbh i might buy the mags

they metric or imperial

Metric

I have a box full of izzy FAL mags I need to sell off

it looks bad and good in a bad way

aight bois

Could've bought an HK33 type rifle a few years ago, kinda wish I did but Century arms

http://www.armslist.com/posts/8936771/concord-new-hampshire-vehicles-for-sale-trade--gm-4l60-e-transmission

Also selling my USP45C aid anyone is interested, 650

@LazySama Buy those fuckers up, and then throw away the slim grip so no-one else will find it and think it's a good idea to slap them onto their rifle.

how to mount bipod to my knife

do i glue a pic rail onto her

Way ahead of you, Lion 👌

Hey, the green slim grip I got was only $5, and better than the "Literally melts off" plastic the gun came with

that's my one gripe with PTR. The grips they come with are shit teir

I'm looking into getting a more insulated one

the wide ones are good. but they hold onto heat

Or a wooden one for aesthetics

I prefer the look of the L85

i alwaus hated the way the trigger looks on this

also the "standard" version should have the stock be all the way up the receiver and itd look good

also where they ell are your tacticoop rails

I bought a Smith and Wesson No1 and a half today for $150 boys. Wish me luck on this project gun.

I am waiting till payday. Once that happens I'm buying a Browning A5 receiver

It's gonna be my first 12 gauge. I have fired one before. I would love my Grandpa's, but he ain't gonna will it to me and I couldn't do any modding to it. My heart couldn't do it. I'm making a combat shotgun out of mine tho

I'm about to flex on yall

Nice drum mag

illegal in 5 states

Saw this post on FB and honestly I’d buy a reproduction Martini Henry in 45-70. I mean I’m still going to buy an original one and restore to where it can shoot and reload for it but it would be nice have one I wouldn’t be as worried about damaging and being in a caliber that is readily available

Saw a fudd disaster up close

My eyes hurt so bad.

It’s was painful guys.

In a nutshell a guy claiming to be a gunsmith showed me a Russian Izzy parts kit build on a nodak spud receiver and he got rid of all of the original furniture for tapco fudd type tactical furniture including the trigger. That wasn’t the bad part though...

no

stop

please

It’s gets much worse

@tumble the tapco g2 is a good trigger

change my mind

This guy literally attached a rail to the original dust cover so he could mount an optic on it and then DRILLED SCREWS INTO THE BACK OF THE FUCKING DUST COVER straight through the receiver because it “wasn’t holdin zero”

...........

oof

tapco makes good triggers tbh. everything else sucks

I’m not fucking kidding this happened

@tumble

ok heres a story

local smith cannot

for the love of god use the internet

Original barrel too. This parts kit was nice.... would’ve been a good build

Okay.

i asked for a new gi style 1911 front sight and he said i havent seen one of those for about 40 years

since my current one broke the poor steaking

ive had multiple issues with him not being able to do things,

with multiple style rifles

hes a overpaid guncleaner at this rate

Lol

@tumble AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

cant find a front sight cant fix a mosin extractor

Oof

cant populate a AR barrel

Jeez.

🤨

CANT GET NEW GLOCK SIGHTS ON STRAIGHT

So, he's like every "gunsmith"

LITERALLY

Honestly.

blew 200 rounds trying to improve my aim thinking i was pulling

It's well worth learning light gunsmithing.

nope sight is pointing left

I’m lucky I have some guys locally that do great work but by locally I mean I have to drive 35-40 minutes

Theres one local guy that's supposedly really fucking good.

But, he works on so much shit you'd not have your gun for the better part of a year, even for something minor lmao

The one 8 minutes from my house seems questionable and doesn’t know shit about AK’s so I just drive extra to guys I trust.

Im gonna get a barreled receiver and finish it off for my first "build"

I honestly don’t trust myself yet to build my own. The guys I mentioned that are half an hour away are brilliant with AK’s, so they’re putting together a Bulgarian parts kit for me right now. Should be done Saturday (hopefully)

@ramaster00

@tumble How much? Also, post 🅱 ics when done

Also, if you get a barreled receiver, all you gotta do is drop in the fire control group, safety and add furniture.

ｎｅｒｆ ｏｒ ｎｏｔｈｉｎｇ

fuck yeah

who has a link to the directions to make an IKEA chicom

Yeah, my parts kit was completely disassembled with no barrel or receiver so I had Childers make me a blank.

I think I might try to build myself next time I do a parts kit something cheaper in 7.62.
My parts kit was in 5.45 and I don’t have a 74 currently so I wanted it done right.

I’m a perfectionist so if something is slightly off to me I will lose my shit.

*Nice*

@Innaswamp u can probaly just eye it out

i couldnt find anyinstructions

I totally can eye it

I'm doing 2

one for my AICS mags and handgun and another for x39s

nice

Apparently it takes six months to be insured for a lost package by Grey Shop.

IT also apparently takes six months for them to tell me that

@Saint_Kristoph

nope

But at least they shipped my replacement out when they told me. So I'm getting my VKBO summer uniform and a balaclava

stop right there

customs has held something from a friend once for 16 months

they held mine for 2 weeks

its literally who has it and whats written on the box

tbh it was customs

i cannot blame goyshop

customs is a fuck

in other news join voice

Why the fuck do they hold shit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9ZR_mxYAIY

Wojtek weaponry gas block fits under A1

Also lines up well enough you can adjust gas through handguard

whew

at least your handgaurds fit

at least the teeth on mine are the same size though

The left side is OG plastic

I'll be swapping it with bakelites real soon tbh

So, what would the best multi purpose (rifle and pistol tho just rifle is fine) brass catcher be in you guy's opinion?

And for depriving, should I get a hand deprimer or go ahead and get a single stage press that can be used for other reloading steps?

Just tape a heavy-cloth bag to the ejection area

On a pistol?

find some netting that can take hot brass

tape to gun

and for depriming just go ahead and get a press

how much do you want to load

Idk, right now I just want to deprimer all the brass I have so I can clean it, then reprime it

From there I might reload or sell idk

just rock a hand popper for now

buy a single if you want to learn the basics then grab something like an RCBS 7 stage

disclaimer I am an RCBS shill through and through

I probably have 4-5k worth of their shit

Well I assume it works then?

3 generations of my family used it

I've got 32 SW, 32 SW Long, .223/5.56, 9x19, .38 spcl, 357 mag, and .303 British to deprime

And hats just what I remember

So yeah a universal deprimer is what I need

What's the best hand deprimer out there for the money?

a syringe, a hose, hose clamp, and water

Hmm

That could work

But it's frankly more work than buying a hand one

Alright serious question, my homeowners policy will only cover up to $2000 for my firearms whether they’re lost, stolen, or fire damage and that doesn’t even cover a quarter of my collection. Does anyone know of a good company that I can get a policy with for just my firearms? I’m mainly worried about theft and fire damage but it would also be nice to have a plan that covers water damage as well.

I've seen good things about the Harvey hand deprimer, anyone have experience with that?

Just bury them @majorepic

Because that’s a good solution

It's what /k/ would do

I don’t doubt that

@majorepic Allstate is the only major insurers that insures firearms as part of a policy

There are several other insurers that will do firearms policies. NRA has one associated with them, Collectible Insurance Services is another

I went through all this a few years ago

All I ask for is one day in which Mr. Rogers can pat me on the back and ask "Will you be my neighbor?"

But, there are some people who probably need physical reminders to breathe trying to take my 30 round magazines away because...well, they know what windows taste like.

All I want to do is have a marijuana grow operation on a fully loaded Montana Class Battleship...just how the founding fathers intended. But I can barely have a suppressed SBR because "WhAt AbOuT tHe ChIlDrEn?"

And because of these sucker fish cleaning my windows all the time, I can only see the dissapointed look on Mr. Roger's face before some progressive puckers their fat punchable lips in the only open spot left.

On the upside, at least I have clean windows.
