granted, of the ancient old ones out there, the chi-com mak90s are the cream of the crop

2017-10-17 20:40:26 UTC  

What are your thoughts on the M14, mini 14 and mini 30?

2017-10-17 20:42:37 UTC  

the mini 14 is a classic

2017-10-17 20:43:09 UTC  

the m14 is overwrought and a little scary to build yourself

2017-10-17 20:44:23 UTC  

like, the m1a's that springfield has been putting out recently are awesome

2017-10-17 20:44:50 UTC  

but i dont want that to be the gun i have to service alone if the shtf

2017-10-17 20:45:18 UTC  

never handled a mini 30

2017-10-17 20:47:08 UTC  

if i want to throw 308 far, id just as soon set up a ar pattern in 308 with a heavy barrel

2017-10-17 20:47:52 UTC  

granted thats a super edge case scenario where you're engaging armor at range

2017-10-17 20:48:54 UTC  

thats one of the firearms rabbit holes, stopping power/range

2017-10-17 20:50:05 UTC  

you start with a simple and perfectly fine ar pattern in 556, and someone youve never met on a hindu basketweaving forum tells you that 556 is the 9mm of rifle rounds and muslim terrorists have basically built up an immunity to it, and its off to the races

2017-10-17 20:50:52 UTC  

you wake up from a fevered haze and you've bought 10k rounds of 300 blackout

2017-10-17 20:51:50 UTC  

(300blk is super fun to shoot out of an ar pattern tho)

2017-10-17 20:52:23 UTC  

recoil profile is radically different from 556 and 762

2017-10-17 20:58:01 UTC  

Ever shot 5.56 or 7.62x39 through bushes or branches?

2017-10-17 21:00:14 UTC  

sure, anything solid is going to modify a fast projectile's path

2017-10-17 21:00:33 UTC  

its the same with even larger rounds, i hunt with a 30.06

2017-10-17 21:01:41 UTC  

please dont misunderstand my lack of preference on the m14, its not the round, the the fiddly nature of the receiver action

2017-10-17 21:02:22 UTC  

i do believe that folks get super caught up in caliber dick-waiving, but to each his own there

2017-10-17 21:02:32 UTC  

From my experience in the Finnish army, we got to play around with the 556 and it seemed like we had to put two or three rounds more to get our metal targets to fall down, compared to the 762 which usually made the metal targets fall on the first shot (if you hit of course). This was even more noticable when the targets were behind bushes or any sort of object.

2017-10-17 21:03:03 UTC  

oh, 7.62 is a demonstrably heavier round for sure

2017-10-17 21:04:31 UTC  

I don't have formal military training, so take my shit with a grain of salt in regards to anything human conflict related

2017-10-17 21:04:44 UTC  

im just a good old boy from alabama who owns a bunch of them there guns

2017-10-17 21:05:16 UTC  

I believe this is one of the main reason why Finland is sticking to the ''outdated'' 7.62x39. We hardly shot at ranges further than 150m and even then there were usually brushes and shit in the way of our targets.

2017-10-17 21:05:36 UTC  

haha, we didn't shoot much live ammo though, so I don't have much experience in that way.

2017-10-17 21:05:42 UTC  

7.62 is a fine round

2017-10-17 21:06:03 UTC  

i have an akm, its fun to shoot, and cheaper to shoot than my ARs

2017-10-17 21:12:52 UTC  

I guess I've shot less than 300 live rounds

2017-10-17 21:14:15 UTC  

yeah thats a range trip for me, but then again, i live in the US, and in one of the biggest gun culture bits of it

2017-10-19 02:01:04 UTC  

2017-10-19 19:32:20 UTC  

2017-10-19 20:00:37 UTC  

I thought I'd share a webstore that sells quality stuff for a good price and fair shipping, even all the way to the USA.
I own multiple of their products, I've never been dissapointed with any of their products and their product descriptions are pretty funny some times.
