YAGT: OMG I love guns

3 d printed ammo = http://www.wired.com/2014/11/atlas-314-3-d-printed-guns-bullets/

I think you misread something...ammo for 3d printed guns yes, created by hand out of steel on a lathe one at a time...still cool but I wonder what kind of accuracy they get

 

[BlitzPuppet]

Oh noes! Plastic bullets!

 

[Mloot]

Is that .308 short range ammo?

German .308 practice ammo for G3s. Almost purchased it back in the day since it was so cheap, but you have to get a special bolt in order to shoot it semi-auto so that offset the cost quite a bit. Also saw reports of it shooting full auto accidentally.

Went to a gun show today, nothing special but there was a Glock 17 G3 brand new with 2 OEM mags for $500 out the door (cash price). Not bad at all. I would get it if it was a G4.

Picked this up over the weekend. Bought it without really knowing what it was. Turns out to be a Marlin 1897 (later known as the 39A), serial number indicates manufacturing in 1904.

The only problem is that the barrel was replaced (probably a long time ago) with one from a Savage 6A.

I detail stripped both these pistols for the first time. Just cleaning and oiling seems to have dropped a pound or so off of both the SA and DA triggers (from about 5/7lb to 4/6, as a guess).

Snapped a photo of Most Glorious Slovakian handgun trigger. This is CNC'd steel of some kind of 'chromoly' grade, and composes all of the hammer/sear and the slide rails. Not pictured is the trigger and trigger bow, which are still in the frame. They are also quite craftily designed.

nice 1897 very!

few weeks ago some friends had #friendsgiving.....so the guys went out early and had #friendsgunning

my PSA is on the far right.

[Bartman39]

Damn thing is down again...? Oh well here is an AR15 upper that I just got for $215.00

 

[Merad]

So TN Arms Co is supposed to have some pretty hefty Black Friday sales. I'm thinking about getting one of their dickbutt lowers molded in pink and building a pink AR just for the lulz.

PSA (Palmetto State Amory) has free shipping (excluded rimfire ammo) for any order $100 or more.

Im actually pretty excited for black friday gun gear wise this year. Weve been seeing more and more deals lately so hoping for some great deals. Still need ot build a SBR 556 upper after all!

 

[Zargon]

[BabaBooey]

Uh, you might wanna remove the picture of your illegal SBR.

Really cool concept, but that thing looks terrible for a range gun. Yes, I know, it's not meant to be a range gun, but 99.9999% of the time, you will be shooting at paper. So that being said, I'd still get something that you actually enjoy.

You DO need a holster. I would never pocket a loaded gun that has no active safety.

What is on the front of it, LEDs and a laser?

Manual safeties can be moved by accident just as easily as a trigger can be pulled. Some gunmakers try to 'fix' this by using tiny tic-tac sized safety levers than take absurd amounts of force to move...but that just makes for a terribly unreliable draw.

Whole trigger area covered. Always. IMO. For a range or comp holster, just covering in front of the trigger is fine, but for IWB or pockets, I like to close the whole thing in.

I was trying to make those two points at the same time - guess I wasn't clear I have issues with guns that have no manual safety, and I would never pocket a loaded gun in such a way (safety or not) that would let something bump the trigger.

 

[pontifex]

is $369.99 a good price for a police trade-in Gen 2 Glock 17 with 1 17 round mag and dim night sights?

 

[HumblePie]

Guess he didn't notice it was a pistol and not a rifle. Nice pick for image though.

 

[HumblePie]

To add, for the comments regarding 3d printing of guns and "criminals" making their own guns. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

Making a gun the old fashioned way without 3d printing isn't all that much harder at all. More time consuming, but not harder. There are a ton of youtube videos out there of people making their own guns from various tempered bar stock. They just cut out the patterns they need, polish it nice and smooth, and assemble. The barrel is the only tricky bit and that's easy enough to buy separately on its own if need be.

Good price unless it's beat up badly. I found a G17 Gen 2 in a pawn shop last year for either $350 or $375 IIRC, ended up selling it for about $475.

It was already well-established that I was not familiar with the 'arm brace' and got the mistaken impression that he was essentially advertising that he had popped a rifle stock onto an AR pistol.

On Glock prices...meh. I guess that price is okay when you compare it to the rest of the Glock market (read: too high), but police trades usually carry a deeper discount. I've seen M&P's and other similar stuff down to around 300 bucks...and those are guns that didn't even exist when gen2 Glocks were being sold. The latter is probably a solid twenty years old...IIRC gen3's came out in the late 90's?

Even brand new M&Ps run about $50-100 less than Glocks. Like it or not Glocks tend to basically hold their value. Even the Gen 2s, because there are more than a few people convinced that they are better than the new models.
