The Rat posted:Yeah, that's the part that really made me That doesn't seem like a bad price though, considering when you can find SKSs these days they're usually $250 plus. Is there something I'm missing here?

. Although I suppose I shouldn't be complaining that much; I sold a Yugo SKS in an ATI folding stock for $240 there.

Black Stormy posted:What point is he trying to get across there? It smells like death? People like a mystery. Since it smells mysterious he can charge more? Or maybe he's just saying Jehovah's Witnesses smell strange, who knows. Only crazy people sell or collect holocaust memorabilia anyways, so it could be a reason known only to him. It's probably the former though.

Cyrano4747 posted:Yeah, I'm actually kind of surprised that there haven't been more convicts/crazy people/others who can't legally buy guns ordering pre-1898 Mosins and turning them into at-home Obrez's. This is probably the case because the criminals in question aren't well informed enough to know of this (most people have no idea that distinction exists) and that they can just as easily get more effective, concealable, modern pistols for their purposes. This reminds me of that one video that was posted here several years ago made by gang members showing off their guns and some guy brings out this bizarre looking rifle that most people on the forums had never seen before. Turned out to be some weird thing that had never really been imported and had a small production run.  The video really shows that 1. criminals really can get anything they drat well please and 2. that there are a lot of neat guns that don't make it to the U.S. I doubt that he even knew what he was holding, but still it was really surprising to see.

Gewehr 43 posted:Bathroom photo session means he probably snagged it at some gun show while on the road and is trying to move it. The bathroom screams hotel to me. Now that you mention it, that appears to be a toiletries bag there on the sink counter in the last pic. That's not something you'd see in a home bathroom (at least not out on the counter like that). It looks like you're correct.

I'm probably wrong on this, but if that thing has a mid-length gas system and you have to chop a bunch of the barrel off, couldn't that cause cycling issues? I was under the impression that shorter barreled designs needed a shorter gas system so they have adequate gas pressure to cycle the action, hence why carbine length systems exist.

infrared35 posted:Beretta 950 BS 25 ACP - Free Pocket Lint Question about these things. I always assumed that the tip-up barrel is so that you can easily chamber a round for +1 without racking the slide and having to remove the magazine to top it off. Is that correct?

infrared35 posted:Yep. Along those same lines, it allows you to have a chambered round and carry with the hammer down if you like, without manually lowering the hammer on a live round. Ah, that's an aspect of it that I hadn't considered. Makes a lot of sense though. Thanks!

Harmburger posted:Pearl grips? Check. I wonder if this is the same pistol (if not it at least appears to be from the same run). It's honestly not that bad, though the engraving isn't perfect. It's surprising how much decent photography can improve how a pistol (or anything really) looks.

Scratch Monkey posted:Don't get all butthurt. When people say "chrome" with no qualifiers they almost always mean hard chrome or sometimes even nickel plating. Shiny guns look tacky. Hard chrome can look good on some guns, just like any finish. Even nickel can look awesome with the right stock/grips on the right gun. I wish I had gotten one of the chromed SKSs that Classicarms did before they switched ownership, they were pretty.

shovelbum posted:Yeah, a Mosin is a rifle that functions perfectly adequately for its intended purpose. Unfortunately its intended purpose was invented in the 1890s by the Tsar and revised by the Soviets in WW2. What does this even mean? I'm pretty sure the Tsars didn't invent the idea of 'shooting people you are at war with/don't like'.

Groda posted:Wooden Bullets Pretty sure there are a few blank adapters that use wooden bullets to provide some semblance of recoil while allowing safe discharge of the weapon during opfor training. The adapter destroys the wooden slug just after it leaves the muzzle. That's probably what those are for.

Maybe we could just cut out the middle man and have gunshop folks not be a bunch of chauvinist good-old-boys who look down on anyone who isn't a burly looking mountain man or someone who dresses entirely in 5.11 garb and old BDUs? It's not just women who get treated like rubbish at gunshops, it's pretty much anyone who doesn't match the stereotype of what a *gun owner* looks like. Double point if you happen to be a minority and/or young. Gun shop employees are some of the worst sales people I've ever encountered.

LingcodKilla posted:The best teaching aid for the Holocaust is human beings tattooed with a number. I met a younger victim who instead of getting rid or hiding them interwove hers with ivy and flowers. Yea, but it's a bit harder to buy those through gunbroker (thank God). And as time goes on the number of living survivors will continue to decrease. While this is good because it puts the holocaust further in the past, it gets harder to teach newer generations about it and make them care. Eventually it'll be 'that time some generically bad stuff happened in Germany(again) and folks will give it little thought and won't learn from it.

thermobollocks posted:Do I even want to know what "hand fitted" is here? At some point, someone in a factory in Brazil made the final little tweaks to the slide before it was assembled? Honestly 'hand fitted' is a completely bullshit phrase to throw around on a 1911 because are there any (decent) 1911s that receive NO hand fitting of any components? It's not like firearms factories just vomit out complete guns without any human interaction for testing/final fitting of parts. :/
