    is trying to find a practical reason to own a TP9 in a state that disallows ownership of SBRs...

      If you get your technique down, you can supplement a stock with a 1 point sling rig quite effectively & It would make a great Concealed handgun, swing up from under your coat style! ^_^

       

      You just pull the gun away from you against the sling to stabilize it rather than holding it against you.

      DSA sells them as title-1 pistols, no buttstock, but they do have the mounting bracket molded directly into the frame. If you reg it as an SBR, DSA will sell you the buttstock too. As a folding-stock subgun I like it a lot, but as just a pistol it has absolutely no benefit over a Glock 17. Also I've tried the single-point sling brace with other similar platforms (M11/9), and it just doesn't do it for me.

       

      I'm just pissed at WA state for banning SBRs and SBSs. DDs and...

      Stupid comment length limit. AIWS: DDs and AOWs are okay though, so I'm thinking a 14" M870 AOW and a Penn Arms PGL-65 are on the list of things to get.

    If it makes you feel any better, I intend to take a hacksaw to it the moment it comes out of the box. Hack off the fake magazine and suppressor and shitty sights and figure out some way of attaching raised sights directly to the barrel. Just a cheap bullpup shell not unlike the Muzzelite. Not super robust, not super practical, not super pretty, but I like the challenge of taking utterly shitty products and making them at least somewhat usable. One of these days, I will get my hands on a Chau-Chat and make it run like an AK. Just wait and see.

    Maximize quantity. $500 buys a lot of Jennings pistols.
  5. Casp
    How much did you pay for it? If it's that stupidly cheap and you can hold onto it 'til January, I might take it off your hands.

    Now stick a Laserlite bayonet on it.

      Tried it, it just doesn't work with my learning style. Autodidactism is the only way I can do things; four years of math class couldn't teach me trig but later on I figured it out on my own.

      How long have you been at it? Not bad just the endings are a bit off and word placement. But its understandable. Not the easiest of lnguages to learn. Good luck! If you need help let me know

    I don't like hi-cap mags either. They are fun but C-mags are too damn heavy.

    If you're willing to drop the coin, I'd say get the new buttstock, that way you can save the original buttstock from taking anymore abuse and that way it doesn't need to be repaired, and the collectibility isn't tarnished.

    My SKS stock had those same lines on either side. I'd venture a guess that it's a crack that's developing but hasn't completely split yet; that's what mine were, and a couple thousand rounds later it split. I just bought a replacement stock for it, but I'd venture to say that that's not such an easy option on this machine. As for why it's loose in the stock... no idea, but it shouldn't affect reliability, at least. I'm sure there's a way to repair the wood if it does split (though I'm no expert on woodwork) and you can probably take out the wobble by glassbedding it, though I don't know if

    Well, the rear elevation setting is supposed to be a bullet-drop compensator, not an arbitrary zeroing adjustment. If you set it to the 200 meter mark, and fire at a target at 200 meters, and it shoots high, then it's not zeroed. That's why on SKSs and AKs (last time I checked) and AR-15s (post-A1) have a bullet drop compensator on the rear, and an arbitrary elevation adjustment on the front. The Mosin has no arbitrary elevation adjustment, only windage (at the front). This is half the reason for installing something like a Mojo rear sight. Thing is, even if your 91/30 was zeroed at th

    Holy DAMN that is sweet.

    You could use a non-matching bolt body with the handle already turned down, and a non-matching buttstock to cut the notch out for the side rail, but once you've drilled and tapped the holes to mount the rail there's no going back from that. I intend to do the PU sniper conversion on my forced-matched POS rifle after I accurize it, but I'd never do such a thing on one as pristine as what DaveM has. Also, they don't shoot so high if you shoot them with the bayonet attached.

    I said nothing about nationality, nor suggested any plan of action to do anything about it. That's not my job, and I don't claim to be smart enough to solve all the world's problems. It's a given that most of that population surge concentration is in India and the PRC, and so you could make an argument that the solution is to nuke the hell out of both countries. Just because you can make an argument doesn't mean you should.

    Most people have a hard time wrapping their head around just how large a number 6.8 billion people is. You could kill one million people a day, every single day (that's about twelve people every second, seven hundred every minute, almost forty-two thousand an hour; a greater death toll than the Jewish holocaust in the period of a week) for eighteen and a half years and you still wouldn't rack up a body count of 6.8 billion dead. I'm not saying I condone such a thing, but it really puts it in perspective for you, number-wise. (Tell me if you see something wrong with my math: 1 million (pe

    When the rifling near the muzzle is worn out (usually from cleaning rod wear) and accuracy is suffering, you can cut the inside of the muzzle out to a larger diameter than the bore, usually 1"-1.5" deep along the bore axis, and cut a new crown down inside. Essentially shortening the barrel and cutting a new crown, without actually shortening the barrel. A lot of the Mosins that came out of WWII had that done when they were refurb'ed by the Soviet armories. It was mostly done on the carbines I think.

    ...you're being sarcastic right? my 91/30 is horrible with the stock iron sights. Accuracy varies by condition, and that one there is pretty damn nice, so I wouldn't worry much. Conversely, my 91/30 (a 1943 Izzy that was dragged across a battlefield then rebuilt after the war by some Ukrainian armory with parts stripped off of other busted rifles) won't hit the broad side of a building until I have the muzzle counterbored. It's on the list of things to do, but not near the top. Aside from tightening up the nut behind the buttplate, the condition of the barrel (especially the

    You know, that reminds me: I knew a guy in college, this artsy-folksy guy (skinny, pale, black woolen double-buttoned jacket and a red ascot, drank a lot of designer coffee, you get the picture) who wasn't actually claiming to be anything he wasn't, but he wore US Army Captain's bars and a parachutist badge from WWII on his jacket, along with some Soviet military pin. All I said to him about it was "You know, I'd say something to you about how wrong that is, but it's not really my business. Just understand that, one of these days, you're going to meet an old veteran and he's just gonna look

    For further reference, here is a photo of the internals of the Kestrelfire stock shell. I imagine that will look awfully stupid with an extended magazine in it. Man, studying firearms almost every day for 10 years and sometimes stuff like this still comes out of left field at me. Just goes to show that you never stop learning.

    Ooooooooooooooooooooh I get it now, it'd a bullpup conversion. The holes in the buttstock are for the mag and ejection port. That's... kinda retarded. I'd rather go with a Muzzelite stock for that. But hey, if it wasn't hard on the wallet, then no foul I guess.
  24. Casp
    ......No, it's not a GSG-5. That's what I thought at first, and was worried because the barrel is too short; it'd be an SBR. The magazine isn't right though. The GSG-5 magazine has slots in both sides with thumb tabs for pulling down the follower. The safety markings and buttstock are also wrong. I think that's an airsoft gun. If someone sold you that telling you that it was a dress-up kit for the 10/22, they were lying through their teeth. (Okay, I get it now, it's a bullpup stock kit.) For reference, this is a real GSG-5 carbine:
