rossmum posted:Also, dity foreigner question here: the gently caress do NFA and AOW stand for? I know SBR but I only have a vague sense of what the former two mean, not what the letters actually signify. NFA = National Firearms Act. This was the bill passed in the 1934 to combat mobster weapons possession (look up poo poo on John Dillinger and his gang, and you'll see why full-auto, grenades, and short-barreled stuff got regulated) AOW = any other weapon. It's kind of a murky, ambiguous definition of any concealable gun that a private individual can have or manufacture that doesn't fall under short-barreled shotguns or rifles, like a pistol with a vertical forearm grip. I'm not hugely expertly clear on this whole thing either, other than it's $200 to make and $5 to transfer to another edit:GODDAMMIT gently caress

The Swiss have been using super-fun straight-pull bolt-action rifles since like 1889 or something. You can find some more info about your rifle here: http://www.swissrifles.com/sr/index.html and in the Milsurp Megathread. People in the milsurp thread will probably cry over the sporterization of the rifle (like me, I am a milsurp fag), but they'll be able to tell you more about it.

Iron Squid posted:Thanks! To the second question: yes. Fully explained, it's part of CA law (maybe other places?) that require a fixed magazine that cannot be removed without the use of a tool on assault-rifle-style rifles. Interestingly, the tip of a rifle bullet counts as a tool. A "bullet button" is part of the mechanism that fixes a detachable magazine to a rifle to make it compliant.

I only want a gun to have a fun, new hobby once I move back. And who knows, maybe I can start making friends Insane Totoro in the .22LR megathread asked a similar question, and everyone there told him to just get the Neos already. Admittedly, this was because Mr. Insane Totoro-san could snag a Neos for approximately $100 after store credits and cash cards. Neoses are very good things for plinking fun.

Terrible Robot posted:A buddy of mine has a Mosin Nagant 1891-1910 with an octagonal reciever, no bayo attachment, and is thinking of turning it into a sniper clone for hunting, using reproduction scope mount and scope with a nice turn-down bolt, and a match trigger. Is he potentially about to gently caress up a special/rare Mosin, or are these models a dime a dozen like the 1938s-44s? Tell him to get a goddamn 91/30 from late WW2 and leave that poor Czarist-Russia-era Mosin alone, if he's gonna sporterize a milsurp piece. (actually if we and I could get more pictures of it, we could tell you more about how rare of a Mosin it is. Still, he shouldn't gently caress with it.)

No, you just need to contact your local dealer who will do your transfer for you, and they'll fax their FFL to Centerfire. Then Centerfire will know where to send you your gun so it can be transferred it into your ownership. This will be the case with every online gun ordering you will do. If you have an FFL03 (Collector of Curio and Relics), you can file that with them as well.

Ophannin posted:but try letting the nerves that make you twitch take over and then fire through the whole magazine in a very Am I right in thinking "What the poo poo is this gently caress?"? It's at least a pretty expensive way to train out your flinch, and at most a highly irresponsible way to hit target carriers. Right on about going the .22 route, though. the poi one way to help fight flinch is to develop a mental mantra. When you're on target and are ready to pull the trigger, place your finger on the trigger and start saying "front sight" over and over again in your head while focusing on the sight and steadily applying pressure with your trigger finger, until it goes bang. Another similar way is to start counting up while steadily applying pressure with your trigger finger. In this beginning stage of trigger control, you should never be able to figure out which number you'll get to before the gun fires. It should always "surprise" you (not startle you and make you run away from guns forever). (also do all these with a .22, because you'll have to run through a mojillion rounds for the best result)

Sounds like you need a WASR-10. But find one with the double-stack magwell. WASR-10s were originally imported with a magwell that could only accept single-stack, 10-rd magazines, although they have been machined out by importers to accept double-stack mags. I think they're still the budget AK that'll do what you're looking to do. AIM Surplus has a GP WASR-10/63 for $389.95
