I can afford a reproduction Shiloh Sharps 1874 bison-blaster, but don't want to fork over the ridiculous prices they are asking.
...Could've got a good used one in .45-70, back in the mid-'90s for $500, but I bought a Marlin 1895G Guide Gun in .45-70 instead.

Those F'N sons of bitches released a version of the SCAR 20 in 6.5 Creedmoor. I woulda bought it last year when I still had somewhere to shoot.

>>109331
Well, good thing you did not buy it as you would have nowhere to shoot it.
Wait... can't you go out and shoot the prairie dogs or some place in the wilderness to shoot targets?

Here's an older thread of too poor to have guns:

- Swiss SIG P210 (Pistole 49 Armee) in 9x19mm, ca. 1966.

Nice service pistol.
Ridiculously expensive.
2400 to 9700 Euros at

>>109332

Sure if you wanted to be logical about it.

>>109332
> Sig 210

The new production ones from Sig are ridiculously well made. I put a thick grease on the slide rails and it slowed the action down. I mentioned it on reddit and a guy who works / worked at Sig USA said the guys on the production line spend a shitload of time on them. Very tight tolerances.

I only wish they had 10 round extended magazines, and that mine had the original heel release... which then wouldn't work with wish #1...

2020 is off to a good start.

Fudd tiem

Kimber Adirondack in .308 Win. Obviously there's "better" rounds in a short action like 7mm-08 however I'm starting to desire something with EASY ammo to find locally in a pinch despite being a hand loader.

Load this hoe up with some spicy Swift A Frames or nosler partitions etc and set up with a Leupold 2-7 or so and you have a fucking sweet back country heavy timber rifle.


I have it's big brother, the Subalpine in .280 AI, but that was a freakishly cheap miracle I picked up while working at the gun counter.

Kimber handguns are indeed mostly dildos but their rifles are a fucking dream for the non-custom ultralight hunter. You have to screen them as well though.

The "budget" Montana is the way to go for value, but it's still about a grand.

I wwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant it.

I want a snub-nosed S&W 624. I'm broke all the time these days.

>>109609
.44 Special snub-nose?
Here's an old pistol Smith & Wesson Model 24-3 .44 S&W Special revolver with a 3-inch barrel.

This Smith & Wesson Model 629 Carry Comp Performance Center loads .44 Magnum & .44 Special.

>>109610
What I reeeally want is a custom job. 6 round .44 special, 2 3/4" barrel, gold bead front sight, smooth ebony grips, round butt, bobbed hammer DAO. But I suspect a new custom gun from S&W is expensive as all fuck, and the existing snubbie 624s are so gosh dang pretty it'd be a sin to fuck with them.

You see what the fuck I mean? I can't deface that work of art. It's not EXACTLY what I want, but if I got my hands on one, I'll be damned if I change a thing.

They needed a new HHC armorer in my battalion and leadership found out I "do guns" so I'm out of the mortars and off to armorer school. I've been playing around in the Scout's cage. Apparently they hate these, but they're not even real snipers and fuck the scouts anyway.

The heart wants what the heart wants.


I also have at least one SR-25 with serial number under 0050 in there.

Just slow af. Wish there was a way to bring a little more traffic back without the no gunz old /k/ swarm.

Opchan had a pretty good run for a board its size, now it's slowly dying. All things end.

Want to get one of these NOS M16 parts kits but even if I could justify the money, I can't even build a non-neutered AR in my state.

You could and not tell anyone. ;)

I check daily, but there hasn't been much to talk about. The opchan discord severely cannibalized traffic from the board.

Like actual good chan culture on 4chan, or 8chan proper all together. I wish we were more active. Too many normies from plebbit ruined good fun on 4/k/. Janitors on 4chan are too SJW and won't allow gun law threads on /k/. 8chan /k/ went full 14/88 instead of just general /pol/tard shitposting near the end. At least we were good when we were active. It seems most of the long term users grew up and have family obligations now. With no new users, we're destined to die eventually.

Story I'm making up right now: seems current sysop only cares about cash. How much to purchase the opchan domain name?

>>109745
I don't think anyone who only cared about money would go anywhere near Opchan...

>>109746
Not since the days of serv, at the least.

>>109744
Sad but true.

Better to die like this, at least this place will never become a shambling husk like 4chan

Honestly all the traffic that came to this site moved over to the Discord. I think it was the ability to post images there that did it.

>>109817
more than you can afford, pal

Was amazed on the heavy traffic in the Discord OpChan page.
Problems with this site can be quickly addressed there.

that social media faggotry is only for feminized cuckphone addicted soygoys. i can't imagine any sane man voluntarily surrendering their privacy rights like that, it must take a mount of demoralization to get people who are supposed to have self confidence and self respect as individuals to carry around a tracking and listening device with them at all times "just in case", you can't call someone like that a man or even sane.

>>109867
Is discord social media? I thought it was basically IRC but with a new name so the kids will think it's new and cool.

>>109869
weak attempt at rationalization

>>109331
So I got to fuck with one at the LGS.

Then a few dudes were posting about how it's only getting like 3MOA and found out FN isn't guaranteeing anything accurate from it on their website and holy shit you dodged a bullet.

>>109880
Accuracy problems with which, .308 or 6.5?

That's really surprising, the SCAR 16 and 17 are both MOA guns.

>>109880
Looking around a little bit online, I don't see anything other than 1-MOA for the SCAR 20. This wasn't some gun store fudd lore, was it?

Also, I haven't shot since last September. Fucking terrible, I know.

He isn't really wrong. It's IRC if you took everything wrong with the rest of modern software and applied it to IRC.
>centralized, woefully insecure, closed source, runs in a browser for some reason, the PRC has a stake
Unfortunately, serious money is backing all of the above, so the only objections you can make that really stick are "it's for faggot autist weirdos" and "it's under-moderated". Which, coincidentally, are some of the only remaining similarities it has with IRC! Funny, huh?

>>109881

It was .308 specific

Guy went through some different rounds, called them about it, I'd have to go way back and look it up now. Searching online so far the only thing I've seen that was close was inch and a half.

If I run into it I'll bring it back here with a screenshot if possible.

I could actually buy it, but it would set me back with all the other stuff I'm buying so i'm still really on the fence about this.

Also the caliber I would prefer is .357, but this would be a local deal.
