>How do you install a side rail without fucking things up?
If you know how to correctly drill and tap a hole its simple provided you have the tools to correctly do it, i.e a drill, tap and vice that can hold your shit. If you aren't competent enough for that/don't have the tools, the gunsmith will probably do it for 50 or less.
>What kind of optic is good for a shotgun?
A red dot, not even lying. Its like you're cheating at skeet and trap with one.
Yeah. Some models some with a 7" barrel. They're accurate as fuck, enjoy murdering cans at 50 with impunity.
Check the PDF thread. Bound to be something neat-o in there.
Depends what they're made of. If its reinforced on the front it'll last whatever abuse you throw at it.
If you're playing with handloads my best suggestion is to compare what you have to standard ball ammo and figure out where to set your sight too.
~700 give or take given the mags and potentially any other work done to it.
I'd stick to a proper bag if you're doing paper punching.
44mag is good for Elk provided you aren't shooting past 150 yards. I've knocked one down with a standard 240gr softpoint, it didn't walk too far considering I smacked both lungs and nicked the heart. It can be loaded for pretty much anything bar moose.
Measure the muzzle, alternative find stuff to make a cast of the chamber.
Its a handloaders cartridge and people aren't willing to pay for factory loads that performs similarly to x39. If you're that interested in the cartridge just build/buy yourself a standard AR and swap the barrel, SBR/Get a can if you're so interested.
Because the Army told John Browning they wanted a grip safety on it.
Looks like an ARCH high cut helmet, as for the visor I have no clue.
Don't think they changed that when they upgraded the design in 1905. Don't feel like ripping apart either of my rifles to give you a definite answer.
Imperial Flag, Germany. Its been defaced with something.
STAG-10. Save some extra pennies.
Rebarrel it then.
Other way around. Generally speaking AR-10's you find are scaled up AR-15 and are shit for compatibility with one another whereas with your run of the mill AR-15 everything practically interchanges. Also the site you linked states those god forsaken abominations are usable with .308 guns.
A lot of M14's you find tend to need work done with em to make them run right.
New M1A's range from 1700-3000 a pop and on the lower end tend to lack accuracy. Work meaning bringing it up to national match standards which tend to be everything from barrel to trigger work. Rifle pictured groups tighter than a nuns asshole anywhere from 0-600.
Only real problem with the M14 I've found is getting mud on the action and not wiping it off like a civilized human. Same problem with both M1's.
If you're worried about materials the Dutch Army surplused out a ton of bags around the size of the 5.11 bag. Though if you're looking to cram a fuckton of shit I'd recommend getting a surplus ruck. Both of which are probably cheaper than the condor crap and 5.11 shit.
The bag in the picture is around 40L in capacity, its pretty close to the 5.11 and Condor in size. Sometimes what you need is different than what you want. If you're going to be traveling around significantly you're gonna want something bigger than all of those.
Milsurp shops will probably do you better. Varusteleka, Fireforce, Hessen antique.
>what is sustained fire
Most of what I recommended is gunsmith stuff bar the last two, which is something I don't recommend anyone doing unless they've done it before. Find yourself a cheap 22lr rifle and pistol, personal recommendations would be a Marlin Model 60 and a Ruger Standard.
Drop the drum in the snow and you can grab it in a pinch. Both mags and drums were designed around being used with a lanyard, don't think they actually issued a pouch for the drums given I've never found one for mine.
I wouldn't say so. The two medals are for rangetime stuff i.e. actually being able to hit your target consistently, the ribbons are both for combat and non-combat stuff. If there were more things on there you'd be able to tell right away. Unless you have his service number you'll never know for sure.
