Last time I flew into JFK the guy at immigration freaked me out so much that when he asked me what I did for a living I panicked, forgot, and ended up telling him I was a student. I hadn't been a student for seven years at that point. It was my honeymoon, too, so I very nearly screwed the pooch completely on that one. You should just whip out a bound volume of that thread. With large, glossy photos.

Eating the Pudding posted:He didn't say it was a smart idea, just possible. I bet there's a decent percentage of people that carry hammer down on a chambered round. Not only do a lot of people still do this  , Detonics specifically designed their pistol to be carried hammer down on a live round.  The rear sight is mounted a bit forward, and the now-exposed surface is milled down to make it easier to cock the hammer.If I wasn't trapped beind the nannywall, I'd even have a picture...

Perhaps I should have a drastically naked guerilla picnic in the middle of the opening ceremony of the Olympics? So is there a difference between naked and drastically naked?

Grandpa has grandpa guns. Story at 11. Seriously, though, if you want to get a good idea of what the guns will realistically sell for, go on Gunbroker.com and search for the models you posted within the completed auctions.

What's that knife sharpening system that the hive mind approves of? I remember it being color coded. My Benchmade needs love.

Does anyone happen to know what Swiss laws are like re: foreigners going to ranges? I'm going to be in Europe over the summer and while I wasn't planning on hitting Switzerland the chance to go shooting would make it worthwhile. I expect my status as a foreigner makes it a long shot but I figure that if there's anywhere in Europe where I can just show up and shoot guns it would be Switzerland.

I've owned a gatco and a Lansky, but my Apex Edge Pro blows them out of the water. It's also about 10X as expensive and geared more towards sharpening large kitchen knives rather than smaller folders, but it's tits. Also, today is NEW GUN DAY!!! at NosmoKing's house. A wayward WASR followed me home.

The Lansky actually offers more flexibility, it's just that you also see people gently caress up knives with it from time to time if they're new and inexperienced or just generally stupid. The Sharpmaker is more idiot-proof. Feel free to buy either. I was mostly just pointing out that the TFR Hivemind actually largely espouses the Sharpmaker over the Lansky, not specifically saying you should buy it instead.

So, I have this new baby killing device in my house that I've never owned before. Midway USA tells me that there are poo poo-tons of AK pattern mags in 7.62x39. What will actually feed and make gun go BANG regularly and not have me want to scream and throw it like a Romanian made golf club? (also nobody cares I bought a new gun)

Skip the U.S.-made polymer mags because they are terrible. Check Aimsurplus and Centerfire Systems periodically to see who has the best deal on steel 30 round surplus combloc mags.

infrared35 posted:Why do OH-58s keep buzzing my house? Last summer we had some Ranger types doing urban training in unfamiliar settings in my town. I knew about it a few weeks in advance so when one flew over my house I only thought it was cool. I guess it scared a bunch of people across town though, when they dropped armed troopers into the neighborhoods and the old industrial centers.

Craptacular posted:These are the best AK mags THIRTY DOLLARS EACH?!?!? gently caress! I'll complete my 6.5 Grendel build from Alexander Arms. They charge $30 a mag too. At least for the $$$ I feel like when I'm getting hosed, I at least got something out of it on my end. $30 for a WASR mag seems like punching me in the face after you invited me back to your dorm room for a promise of a good time.

I use the cheapest Romanian steel mags I could get from AIM. Even when the Barackalypse was gearing up, they were like $8 apiece if you bought three.
