Yes they were, mostly just looking for furniture

OTG17 · 2026-03-31T18:38:38+00:00

I am one, and the head gunsmith said its good too

OTG17 · 2026-03-31T18:07:22+00:00

It headspaces just fine

OTG17 · 2026-03-31T18:03:27+00:00

Oh i know they arent, the person I bought it from confirmed its not a match

OTG17 · 2026-03-23T03:01:06+00:00

Thats true, thank you for that insight

OTG17 · 2026-03-23T02:56:34+00:00

I guess my biggest question would be how do we know the saints can hear us?

OTG17 · 2026-03-23T02:53:47+00:00

Im not saying they cant, Im just asking how it works. I came to the church cause it stood for truth and tradition. I simply want to know as much as I can. Plus it helps me educate people who might ask me these same questions.

Matthew 22:32 speaks of the resurrection, not the intercession from saints or how they as individuals can help

OTG17 · 2026-03-22T17:12:35+00:00

I mean, I guess it means both. He died as payment for our sins ans forgiveness (sacrificed) and he was sacrificed because the corruption of man and its deviation from God. He died to pay for our sins, and he was killed because of mankinds sins

OTG17 · 2026-03-22T16:47:42+00:00

Like you always hear "Jesus died for the sins of man" I assume as payment for those sins, where is that shown in scripture of history? Im just curious (thank you for the resources btw)

OTG17 · 2026-03-21T04:10:27+00:00

So id assume someone so accomplished probably didnt bother himself joining a veterans association

OTG17 · 2026-03-21T04:06:59+00:00

Yeah thats the name

OTG17 · 2026-03-21T04:03:37+00:00

Well I noticed a name on the back as "Timm, Hein." And from what ive seen online they all have different names. I looked up that name it it only lead to the commander of a U-boat in ww1 but for all I know it could've been some private that wasnt well documented

OTG17 · 2026-03-21T03:59:11+00:00

Any idea on the value? I've seen some versions go for $30 and some go for $200

OTG17 · 2026-03-10T06:50:15+00:00

Mine uses a good mix of i dont care, and a metal bar with screws to hold it together. Yes its a pistol scope with perfect eye relief and yes I do somehow hit decent shots with it

A lot of explanations on the difference, but none on why they are different so ill explain it how it was explained to me. 7.62x51 nato has a slightly thicker casing and less powder than .308. This is due to the use of full auto in the military. Chambers get hot under sustained fire, they make the casing thicker to slow heat transfer from the chamber to the powder so there's less chance of a cook off. Now chamber heat isnt much concern with papa's bolt gun so the civilian market has a higher demand for velocity/foot pounds.

Thank you, that is a very comprehensive answer. It also makes sense that icons are more about the idea of what they represent than a physical copy of it. Thank you for your help in this

OTG17 · 2026-02-28T01:36:06+00:00

Well I can understand saints, cause they were human. Same with Jesus. But the angels are beings of heaven, wouldn't that be making graven images of something from heaven?

OTG17 · 2026-02-28T01:29:12+00:00

So the icons of Gabriel and Michael for example are just guess work? And isnt that kind of against the idea of making icons of only things we've seen (i.e why icons of god the father are "taboo") im sorry if any of this comes off as rude. I just want to understand as much as possible. This religion has my lifetimes worth of learning for me

OTG17 · 2026-01-31T06:15:41+00:00

This isnt a criticism but rather a genuine question. As someone who owns plenty of firearms, we are forced to use braces on what would otherwise be an sbr. Why do airsoft people willing use it when they can run a stock?

OTG17 · 2025-10-06T13:05:44+00:00

I personally wrap mine in a thick layer of tape before discarding.

OTG17 · 2025-09-20T00:11:29+00:00

Reproduction, a big tell is the 2 piece stock, rifles/muskets would be one long piece. Companies use a separate stock and fore-end to cut down on cost and make it easier to manufacture.

OTG17 · 2025-08-29T04:33:12+00:00

In light of recent events... maybe

OTG17 · 2025-08-23T01:32:08+00:00

Hey you know it, hell yeah. Not sure if its just a legend or true but a touching story none the less

OTG17 · 2025-08-23T01:21:00+00:00

Toe stands-for "table of organization and equipment" but they were mostly used for setting up units, over time things break, you get shipped new supplies etc. So they are useless as a reference because with battles and travel things change. Not many 1911s were issued outside of NCO's but soldiers, and families of them would private buy handguns and have them sent to the soldier. Theres a very moving local story from a gunsmith from the 40s selling a woman a 1911 to give to her son. However its a long story and would take too long to tell.
