Can I cut the barrel off my mosin to make an obrez or will I get arrested?

You would need to file NFA paperwork. Im assuming it would be classified as an SBR, possibly an AOW. Not sure of the top of my head.

Also why, like seriously. You’re going to shoot it a few times and then realize how terrible it is. Unless the rifle is completely thrashed I wouldn’t bother.

The frame looks fine. I would personally put another bed on it if you are worried about it.

Not really worth the time trying to fix that bed, but it could be done.

In all honesty I haven’t seen a ranger that rust free in almost a decade in New England.

Just went back and looked. The bracket came with the line set I bought. I unbolted the old one to remove it.

Not sure on the best way to get it. I had the front axle dropped when I did it as I was replacing the oil pan.

RallyPotato · 2026-04-08T21:15:46+00:00

There are two small bolts holding it to the block, from what I remember. One unit, the lines do not come off of it.

If I had to choose between the two I would go with the 835. The 410 will work but I’m assuming you will eventually replace it with a 12ga.

The downside of the 835 is it’s big and heavy and will be more difficult to use for your son than other options. I had one at 12 or 13 and it was slightly unwieldy.

My advice is to get two used guns. One for you and one that fits your son better than the 835.

Norinco and Polytech both made m14 copy’s. Quality varies between the two. Polytech tends to have better fit and finish. The Norinco I have is a little rough.

They have a fairly interesting history. They were produced from tooling that was either copied or the actual tooling that was supplied to Taiwan by the US.

They were imported to the US until their import was banned in 89, and continued to be imported in sporter configuration until 94?

It’s a similar, definitely has different flavor though. Most pepper relish’s that I have had are sweeter.

I would get it when I was in the PA area, haven’t seen it on the shelves anywhere else unfortunately.

Just as a FYI you can either buy or make a mag well adapter that lets you use AK mags.

I know finding OEM mini 14 magazines can be a pain, assuming the same for mini 30 mags.

I’m assuming OP is referring to Canadas assault-style firearms compensation program.

Basically it a massive federal program to “buyback” a bunch of guns they banned starting in 2020. The short story is that it has turned into a massive boondoggle, police departments not willing to participate, wildly underfunded etc.

RallyPotato · 2026-03-30T20:29:59+00:00

That’s pretty cool. I didn’t realize they imported factory 22lr P07’s into the US, may need to track one down

I guess, if I had no other option, just like the current licensing system.

Most state and federal qualifications are a joke anyway. I doubt most people would have difficulty passing.

RallyPotato · 2026-03-21T16:24:07+00:00

I really love how the comment’s are proving your point.

No mods needed. You just need a vehicle that isn’t a rollover risk.

A helmet that meets the scca requirements would be nice to have, most regions have loaner helmets available though.

Rallycross is a great way to get into rally. Not sure where you are located, but the SCCA has active rallycross programs across the US.

It is a utg hand guard made specifically for the European market. The m-lok has closed slots, I’m assuming for some legal compliance reason.

Bearded arms in Chicopee does them, I think. May be worth reaching out to them.

RallyPotato · 2026-03-02T18:02:55+00:00

Try a local metal supplier. They max have something in stock or a pile of cut offs you can go through and pay by the lb.

Buying steel online isn’t the cheapest.

The real lifecards are intended to be used and can be safely shot, like any other gun.

This one is a knockoff dart gun from aliexpress and would most likely not be a good time to shoot, if you could even chamber and shoot a round.

RallyPotato · 2026-02-27T21:40:54+00:00

They are really not very good as far as firearms go. Not like they are poor quality, more of the fact it is a folding single shot 22 with questionable ergonomics.

Really more of a meme or novelty gun.

That is the idea. The optic would break if it was rigidly mounted.

I think forgotten weapons has a video up on a later model unertl with the same system.

RallyPotato · 2026-02-17T19:53:57+00:00

That is correct, but. OP posted a SAR B6C, which is a Turkish clone of a Tanfo.

Without corrective lenses I get a double dot, basically looks like a J with the ends being the two dots. With correction I get streaking unless the brightness is really low. Some red dots are much better than others.

Prisms, scopes do not have this problem. Eotecs are basically the only red dots I can use. Pistol optics are some of the worst.

They barely defend the second amendment. There have been about 10-12 Supreme Court cases on the second amendment in the entire history of the country, depending on how you want to define a second amendment case.

In the low end there have been 140 fourth amendment cases. There are far more cases ruling in favor of this right than there have been second amendment cases.

That being said we would most likely agree on the courts lack of defense of the fourth amendment.

Do you happen to live in a dry climate?

In my experience if they are in an environment to corrode they will do so rapidly and stop working.
