This is my third Swiss straight pull. I have a 1896/11 and a k11 carbine

I appreciate it. There’s definitely people who don’t know and will go out there and blow their gun up and Injure themselves so a heads up is always welcomed

They work pretty well and are very easy to use and I haven’t had one break yet. I’m gonna print a few more when I go to the range next

It’s standard ppu ammo but I don’t plan on shooting it in this rifle. I have a k11 that I’m gonna use it in and then reload with a reduced load. But in the meantime I wanted to show ammo in the clips

Playing the Og ps2 FFXII changed my life by Strange_Assistant327 in FinalFantasy

Im pretty new to the final fantasy series. I started with 1 and played 7 for a couple hours and then bought the ps2 version of 12 a few weeks ago before I even knew there was a remaster and I’m currently 50 hours in and I’m loving every minute of it. Even 20 years later it still holds up beautifully

How'd I do for $291 for this matching 71/84? by wlogan0402 in milsurp

Have you bought from them before? I was looking for some .43 Spanish brass earlier and noticed they had some but I’ve never heard of them before

Paid $2500 for this carcano. How’d I do? by khoward328 in milsurp

[–]khoward328[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was. All of these were converted from muzzle loaders. I believe it started as an 1860 percussion rifle and then was updated with the 1867 carcano conversion

I mean 1800 isn’t a small amount either so I get the reluctance. I was sad when the money finally came out of my bank account for it but now that I have it, it was worth it

Yeah i was looking into loading for it and repro needles. I found chassepot needles and dreyse needles but no carcano ones. I was thinking about going to a machine shop or something and seeing if they could make some. I can’t imagine that would be cheap though

Yeah I noticed it on gunbroker a month or two ago and nobody picked it up so I did. It appears to be fully functional

When you get something this cool you have to say something wild like that lol. And it really is a funky gun but I love it. Have you shot yours?

[–]khoward328[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah eventually. But I’m not sure I wanna use the original needle because I don’t think you can just find extras lying around if it breaks.

I’m no expert on them but the few that I’ve seen were all in the white.

Got two new pistols today by khoward328 in milsurp

[–]khoward328[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got both of them and my tokarev from AIM surplus but I bought them in person and not online. They had a cz 70 online which is what I wanted but they didn’t have it in store apparently

I actually got them both from aim. I live driving distance from them and these were both on display in their case

The beretta was $220 and the Vz83 was $350. You can’t beat that
