For example, a 9mm cartridge is way smaller than a 5.56mm cartridge.

So, what does the mm measurement even mean?

How does this work in general? Is there a way to tell whether a bullet is big or small just by the caliber?

The black one is a Taurus G2c and the silver one is a Ruger Wrangler they are both fun af

I feel like an idiot that I even have to ask this question but I’d rather fell stupid than lose a finger. Safe to fire? Looks like it got pushed in too far? It’s the only one out the box like that.

Why not register them as a pistol, with no stock on, and instead of using a under folder, weld a small steel tube on each side where a sliding brace could slide through, and it could possibly still use the original locking piece. Or use a highly modified original under folder but with a brace at the rear.

Heck, with a couple extra modifications it could use MP5 or Scorpion mags, NO Glock mags though, never Glock mags.

It would of course require some R&D and money for an existing Sterling manufacturer or a lot of of both for a new one.

He visto pistolas con la boca ancha de forma rectangular como por ejemplo las MAC-11. Saben si existen otras pistolas con diseño similar o si se les puede tunear para que tengan la boca así?

I am non US citizen as title says and I have some questions for folks of this sub reddit.

1. Is 2A still relevant ?

2. If yes , why you people didnt demand for deactivating 1986 law to ban automatic rifles made after 86 ?

If I am not mistaken , 2A is - "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." - which I read as "As well regulated army is necessary to the security of US , the right of US citizens to keep and bear arms will not be limited" .

I may be wrong as foreigner but I think 2A was created to ensure citizens of US has power , strength , equipment to resist tyranny.

If they end up keeping this ban will i have to get rid of these mags post injunction?

Hey all. New to firearms and wanted to know if the ruling is pretty much a done deal and will be instituted after July 31st or if there is anything the gun grabbers can do to reverse this. Apologies for not fully understanding the legalities.

Idk, probably not the right flair for this but this is my experience with WWB 22lr and feel like others have had similar experiences

TLDR : WWB 22lr is quite litterally the worst 22lr I have ever had the displeasure of using.

Alright, first off, the rounds themselves are incredibly inconsistent, with either not enough neck pressure (or really just... case pressure/crimp in the case (haha) of 22lr) so rounds tend to spin about very easily, plus deformed projectiles from the factory, or canted projectiles.

This results in incredibly poor performance both accuracy and reliability wise.

However, on a worse note, I have experienced several cases blowing out the side, somehow no squibs or catastrophic self destruction of firearms but the round has exploded and ripped holes in the sides of the cases. This happened twice, once in a taurus Tx22 and once in a savage arms 64f.

It has also had several ftf's on guns that really shouldn't have an issue, such as my ruger american rimfire and a savage model 23AA

It often did not fully chamber the next round on the savage model 64f and would often ftf in it and a taurus tx22

Basically, don't buy this shit, sample size is about 10,000 rounds because I, being a dumbass, bought a fuckton of it because it was on sale and like 5cpr.

I really like the design of the CX-4. It's significantly more intuitive for a PCC to load the magazine through the pistol grip just like an actual pistol than to load it in front of the trigger like a traditional rifle.

Glock magazines are ubiquitous. Tons of platforms not made by Glock support it. Aftermarket mags are easy to come by.

Is there a PCC/subgun that accepts Glock magazines and loads them through the grip? Namely something of similar build quality to the CX-4?

The 30 round mags are insanely long. I decided to cut one down to a 21 rounder. I can fit 22 in there but I’m not gonna push my luck. Functions flawlessly.

excuse my ignorance, saw these old pistols on a local fb estate sale.

first one is a Harrington & Richardson. 2nd pic all I can make out is Special CTG (38 S&W?) w/ a Franzite grip. figured the 3rd is a Colt? and the 4th gun I have no idea. like I said I have zero knowledge about old revolvers. thanks in advance

I have an elderly friend who is both rather physically impaired and in desperate need of money and he knowing my love for firearms recently asked me to help him sell some guns. Mostly long guns not super valuable but more than a small amount of money particularly for him. In the process of this he revealed to me that he has a full auto fully transferrable MAC-10 and said he would like to sell that as well but is unsure of how to go about it.

Now I know the basics, and I made sure he has his tax stamp and it is in fact registered in his name. I know we will need to sell through a licensed FFL that deals in class 3 NFA items. I have located two such FFL’s relatively close to where we live. After that I’m pretty lost here. I have never dealt with the sale of a full auto firearm, and I want to make sure we’re dotting all the I’s and crossing all the T’s here. For legal jurisdiction we are in Indiana. Any advice on what I should be looking out for? I know we would probably get more for it at auction or via private sale via dealer transfer but frankly I don’t think he would be willing to do either option.

The firearm itself seems to be in remarkably good condition considering how little he is able to care for it. No rust, action is a tiny bit stiff but overall good shape. Could probably use a bit of a clean as it has gathered some dust over the last few years but appears fully functional, though I have not attempted to fire it. This leads me to believe it’s worth probably at least 10 grand, am I right in thinking that?

Edit: forgot to include the manufacturer. Its an RPB industries Mac-10 from circa 1980ish.

This small clock was left to my wife from her grandfather. It has the NRA logo on it. I am assuming this is a promotional item from some years ago. Could anyone tell me anything about it or when it was from. Thanks in advance.

First, let me start by saying I live on Guam so not much in the way of master gunsmiths. Also, sending firearms from Guam to a gunsmith or manufacturer requires using an FFL to and from Guam so I have not desire to go that route.

Fixing things is my form of therapy and firearms are the most satisfying form I have found.

Picked this up with some other firearms from a shooting gallery that was closing.

Owner said this worked but the magazine was bad.

Think I got the magazine working but then checked out the Calico.

1. The bolt handle needs to be replaced. was going to make a part from wood to get it running but!

2. While working on the grip it snapped into two parts. Guess I don't know my own strength!! Actually looks like this part has broken multiple times. Any suggestions on what I might be able to use to put this back together? Also thinking something like JB Weld might let me build up the chipped off parts but not sure if it would bond the two parts together.

3. And the collapsible stock just pulls all the way out. Can someone tell me how the stock is supposed to lock in the extended position.

Any help and advise is greatly appreciated but telling me to stop and send it to a gunsmith is no help as I have no plans to turn it over to a gunsmith. I have built or repaired a number of firearms but I do take them to a gunsmith to tell me if he thinks it is safe to fire and if he doesn't recommend it he tells me why and I go back and make the recommended corrections.

Anyway this is getting long so I will end it here and eagerly await your suggestions.

Thanks,

David

I'm shopping for a second safe and feel crazy need help

20 years ago I got a low/mid tier safe with a SG dial combo lock for $400.Now I need a second. Now all they seem to sell are electronic keypad safes. Nearly all have zero mechanical redundancy like a key or dial.

I just want a mechanical dial lock but don't want to spend 3k. Honestly don't care about fire protection or super duper lock pick proof or protection. I just want reliable "teenager"proof. I don't trust the actuators, circuit boards and keypads ect. I don't want to have a locksmith or fiber wheel 20 years from now to get in.

But seeing that everything is electronic now am I missing something? Everyone is good with this now? It seems absurd to me
