This is my modest "collection". 1942 Kar98k (Russian capture), PSA (don't judge) AR pistol (.556), Springfield 1911 (.45), Kimber Micro 9, Glock 19X

No, they aren't, but they get a lot of flak for being "budget AR's". Mine work well for me, and allowed me to get things to put in it with the extra cash.

I love it, it's my EDC. It shoots like a dream and is very smooth. But definitely get aftermarket mags for it. The included ones are pretty garbage.

So far, I've added a semi-flared mag well extension and an extended slide release (from Wilson Combat and its nearly perfect. Last thing is to upgrade my sights.

If only ammo weren't hard to find...

At this point, I'd be willing to trade gold for brass.

As a Star Wars fan, here's the Mandalorian armor that I mostly built from some scrap aluminum. I did, however have to custom order the helmet, gauntlets and gun from a third party.

byf. If I'm not mistaken that would be Mauser-Werke, A.-G., Oberndorf a./N.

It also came with a Yugoslavian bayonet

I agree that the early/mid K98k is perfect. It is my favorite of them all to shoot, low recoil, smooth trigger and bolt.... but at almost a dollar per shot, with limited availability, it's more of a treat than a regular occurrence.

Yeah. I had to get the helmet and gauntlets 3D printed, but every other hard armor piece is from the aluminum. I'm looking into doing another set out of steel, that way it can be welded easier and I'd be able to make the helmet and gauntlets myself.

I am going for heavier and tougher, as I am always nervous about some of the thinner or high-use areas of the armor (like the knees)

> What is your dream vehicle?
Mine would probably be a Corvette C2 Convertible (in red). But, I do love my car, a 2013 Subaru BRZ, not really powerful, but fun to drive.

I appreciate it man, I completely spaced that.

Ladies and gentlemen, a full-semi-auto handgun

Yeah, I got it with the stimulus check. <:salut:730846445732888630>

Mine was $1200, it's a Russian capture, which means it's basically a functional kit bash of multiple original rifles, authentic matching serial # 98k's as they came from the original manufacture are upwards of $3500, with prices increasing if they still have the "non-essential" parts (front sight hood, cleaning rod, etc.) or if they still fire. Also depends on the year.

The interesting thing about my Russian capture is that it still has several of the waffenamt emblems (the eagle with the swastika) which were usually filed off or defaced by the Soviets. They also usually didn't care about the "non-essential" parts, but mine has them.

How the American capture?

I keep trying to post a picture of my dog, but the server keeps telling me that explicit content can't be posted.... anyone know why?

Looks sus...

Does it have an import stamp? Or did it get here before that trainwreck?

@Aperfectghost, my rifle is the first time I've ever seen a Kar98k in person (that wasn't a museum piece). That's why I spent my money on that instead of the 6.5 CM rifle that I'd planned to buy.

Let me guess, your favorite color is blue...

Admit nothing, deny everything, make counter-accusations

I saw Trump while at a gas station.

$20 to the guy who puts a round through it.

The ping might be worth it.

Then nevermind

For that price, I'll stick to fireams.

My dad simply has a small (16 gun) safe. He keepsit unlocked when he's at home and locked when he's not.

I don't NeEd to live either, I choose to do so because I want to.

BRCC's Vulcan Prius begs to differ...

In case of shower ISIS.

Define "custom looking"

Throwback

Few rounds really kick horribly (magnums and .50's mostly). Even my 8mm Mauser is easy to shoot. AR gus just love to criticize that the 7.62x39 kicks more than the 5.56x45, so they exxagerate.

DISCLAIMER: I am an AR guy myself, don't kill me guys... <:salut:730846445732888630>

Perfect for introverts who hate houseguests!

Maybe this was the plan to get Mexico to pay for the wall.... 🤔
