       So it’s true that it’s now against YouTube rules to show people how to safely load a gun yes?

       Yeah even our guys are willing to look past the possibility of jewish demons being imbued into the tavor or DE just because they like guns all in all. Never liked bullpups personally with one exception being the aug. I guess the one redeeming factor for the DE is that after Israelis bilked what they wanted from gullible Americans they sold the manufacturing rights to a shop in Minnesota. So that’s at least jobs for Whites I guess.

       All jewish guns except maybe the galil are garbage and there are guns which do what the galil does but better and are lighter. Just about everything they make is a stolen idea.Magnum Research made some other janky stuff too, I think a 22mag 10/22 than never worked right as well. jews use the 10/22 in israel to snipe and torture innocent people unfortunately.

       > Just about everything they make is a stolen idea.Lol yes that’s exactly it It’s all just scams within scams. And not surprised that they torture civilians with 22s. That is extremely jewish. I think the jewish mobs used to use 22s all the time too. There’s no way I would ever shoot a jewish gun without having it seen by a priest first.

       It's probably burn the priest if he touched it so you'd just have to melt it down.Seriously, all the jewish stuff I can think of is junk or someone else does better;tavor - the aug is better and bullpups kinda suck anywaysuzi - the mack11 and variants are better and easier/cheaper to producedesert eagle - a hand cannon that uses a m16 type bolt, you'd be better off with a 44mag revolver or some kind of wildcat cartridge on another platformgalil - it's a heavy ass ak in 5.56, you're better off with either AK variant OR an m4/m16and I think that's about all they have because the "baby eagle" was a CZ rip off I think.

       I'd bet money that 95% of the sales of desert eagles are from that game and maybe call of duty if it was on there.Then people shoot it and realize it's a heavy piece of shit with expensive rounds and they re sell it to the next guy.After thinking about that just now, what if there were only like 1,000 desert eagles in existence total and they keep getting cycled to the next new guy who *thinks* he wants that piece of shit hand cannon?

       Lol that’s what got so many people into it. I remember thinking the desert eagle was the best gun in MW2. Then my mates and I started using the M9 or the rafickas. Like wow, this is so much better lol. Side note a guy I worked with wanted a .50 cal so bad. He saved up for months because he wanted a barret like in the old games. You couldn’t tell him anything lol

       It would be kinda cool to get mirror image pistols and do that but I don't know of a company that makes left hand eject and right hand eject pistols. I'm sure with all the companies making stuff these days there is at least one company that can do that though.If you had ambidextrous controls I guess that would be close enough for all intents and purposes.

       What kind of stuff are you using and what kind of pistols are you referring to? Good point though.I'm thinking the cheapest I could do that would be build one decent AR and get a CZ p-10c or something for $400 or so.

       those SW are glock knock offs and not too bad. A friend had one and for the money, they're better than a hi point. I generally don't buy anything that normally goes for less than $400-$450 since that's the range where you can get stuff that you can trust your life to. Either new stuff that is kinda low end or used stuff that is mid grade like glocks, XDs, etc. I'm not a big fan of XD pistols but they're not that bad all things considered and for that price not bad at all.

       I barely remember when mosins were $150-200 and SKS's were $200 or so. Someone tried to sell me an SKS for $500 or $600 I think and I laughed.They're simple not worth it.I've only seen and used ONE mosin that I'd ever want and it was a Finnish one that they had accurized.

So many good deals just gone, because I wasn’t old enough to buy them or didn’t have the money. I was always in tune to the trends, so when I used to see “old” stuff like non-quad railed ARs tossed in the pawn shop pile I’d die knowing I’d never see them that cheap again. Thanks to youtube and instagram everyone knows what’s cool, so the days of “eww….who wants that? So old fashioned, what’re you gonna do with a revolver?” are long in the rearview. I remember shitty K98’s going for $120 because “russian captures are dogshit”, I remember $800 lugers because they weren’t parts matched, Remember $500 CMP garands from WWII lots, Buy1-get-1 Mosins for $100, and Colt sporters for a princely sum of $600 Once I got money I tried to do what I could but you can’t snag ‘em all

       Those were a deal at that price. They're still probably one of the better buys for AKs at $750-$800 or so.

       I bet those were the first batches of WASRs in the late 90s/early 2000s or so right?They had fitment issues and canted sights but worked well for the most part.The newer ones run just as good as anything else. AKOU has one with 10,000+ rounds that still shoots like 1-2moa and battlefield vegas uses them too I think.

       @Evil_Bender @GabeLakmann @Lover @RadixVerum @RedKaiser I tell friends to just ignore all that shit and start asking friends, family, and neighbors if anyone has a Garand “they don’t shoot much anymore”. When someone tells you he nabbed one back in the day, play up how freakin expensive ammo is and you’re off to the races. Next best thing. Granted, CMP is shipping sweet Harringtons from the korean war era last I heard. They’re gorgeous, arguably better than WWII but you lose the green park. Less sexy

       @RupertvonRipp @Evil_Bender @GabeLakmann @Lover @RadixVerum @RedKaiser Depends on the grade. I think specials are relatively bare, they’re parts guns. The ones that take a LOT of work are the “correct” grade and whatever else is original. They’re taken right out of the 50’s crates that they got packed in years ago. I don’t think I’ve ever held one totally clean yet

       That makes sense. If they've been messed with in the arsenal to bring up to spec of whatever then they'd likely have less cosmoline.I used boiling water to get rid of it and some other cleaning stuff.If you have a heated pressure washer then that is probably the way to clean metal stuff, although it probably isn't a great idea to use it on wood. At least with any pressure anyways.

       @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @RedKaiser No way. It’s just a diff. charm. Ideally you’ll buy both. H&R’s are this lovely dark tone, partly from the cosmo but I think the wood is a little diff since they had more time to age it back then. I think they’ll be appreciated more by our kids. Today most see them as the lesser simply because they’re not WWII but to me they’re the peak, they’re not rushed, they’re clean, and they just have the faint air of a civilian hunting rifle.

       @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @RedKaiser @RupertvonRipp I just use a heat gun and spend time outside. I hate leaving the oven door open and grilling it, but heat is the best way to bring it to the surface. Otherwise it’s a sponge, it’s embedded in the wood and you’ll always feel nasty to the touch.Just a roll of shit paper towels, a heat gun, a drink, and some sawhorses and you got yourself a saturday outside

       Yep, you'll probably have a FEW drinks by the end of it and go through a few rolls of paper towels as well.It's not terrible I guess, it's just tedious work that you don't want to do very often.I've also heard leaving it in a black trashbag in the summer sun all day helps to loosen it and let it seep out as well.I looked up the chemical data for it once and I want to say it becomes more of a liquid around 130 farenheit or so. The thing I like about using boiling water is that it loosens it, washes it away, and dries quick as well but like I said, probably not the best for wood due to swelling and such.

       They're both nice and while it'd be cool to have a WW2 garand, I'd still be super happy with a Korean era garand and, to be honest, I'd almost prefer if it didn't have any notches in the stock or anything.

       @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @RedKaiser FWIW you’ll probably never see one like that. The few that were brought back were always reconditioned and factory overhauled to get rid of any real character. It’s ironic, because collectors hate them for being “non-original” when they see a mishmash of barrel, bolt, trigger dates and drawing numbers but there’s a higher chance it saw actual service. Anything correct likely stayed in the states  all along. In war’s end they just tossed everything in a pile and MAYBE brought them back, then left some poor guy to look at whatever needed changing and disassemble them

       @Boomerman @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @RedKaiser Yeah, Marines didn’t get the M1 garand until about ‘43. It’s been a while for me, but as I recall it’s a combo of institutional momentum and the marines saw themselves as RIFLEMAN. They didn’t trust a semi for duty, they saw it as an army project and preferred the “trustworthy” bolt action instead. Not to mention the 1903A1 is a damn slick gun, in more than a few ways handier than the M1. You lack firepower, but it’s lighter, and the sighting system was exactly what the USMC loved. IIRC the lack of weight up front was preferred because it made bayonet combat easier too. Keep in mind the target shooting/competition mindset informed a LOT of combat arms back then. That lasted all the way ‘til the 90’s, even, with many of the additions to the M16A2 being more or less built around killing it at the qualification range. That’s why they like to talk about how the marines would squirrel away M1’s whenever they could, until they achieved widespread issue in the middle of the war.

       They don't talk about the pacific near as much. I hate that the European theater was mostly White men killing White men.I think maybe part of them getting old/shitty gear could be due to it mostly being Marines in the pacific though?They always have a small budget (since they're part of the Navy) from what I understand and I bet it was true even back then.

Apparently macarthur also fucked up and didnt supply it very well. The kikes dont talk about the pacific because muh holocaust is the point youre supposed to get.

       @GabeLakmann @Boomerman @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @RedKaiser And the Corps wasn’t necessarily using old shitty 1903s. I don’t think any of the original Mark Is even survived in government service at that time. They had a cost-reduced, simplified A3 spec they issued to churn them out even faster. There were real problems with the Garand when it first came out, the gas system had to be completely redesigned (Gas trap to plug, now super rare), so the marines were still somewhat in the right to just equip the boys with a known quantity. Since most of the ‘03s left over from WWI (which I doubt were all that many, and after the depression they likely hadn’t ordered too many) were quickly issued for training back home, most of these GI’s got the improved, latest & greatest A3. Has better combat-worthy sights, longer sight radius, more wood to protect the hands in bayonet work, and a MUCH better stock shape with a pistol grip for added security.

       @Boomerman @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @RedKaiser It’s not retarded though. That’s just the modern fetish for individual rifleman power talking. Even today, with all this vaunted rifleman firepower, it’s still the MG making the kills, isn’t it? Everyone issued bolts back then. I haven’t read my gun library for a while but I think they were surprised that changing over to the M1 really didn’t change things as much as they thought, other than burning through a LOT more ammo.

       @WashedOutGundamPilot @Boomerman @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @RedKaiser Bolts for the common grunt make more sense tbh- conserve ammo.  The role of the grunt is to make advanced, hold terrain in a broad sense, push the lines as part of a mass- bolts do this just fine.MGs for fire-lanes and to create killing fields.For everything else there's a drone or a bomb or a misl for that.

       @johnbudd1350 @Boomerman @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @RedKaiser Some of it’s good, but the first generation of the 1903 was very silly. It’s got a ton of tiny, milled knobs to adjust windage in all these directions, which is wonderful at peacetime, but not at all robust enough for extended combat, nor is it suited for being made quickly. In war, most of these peacetime designs saw lots of simplifications as engineers broke each operation down to its elements and cut time wherever they could. Compare the first one to the second. The latter is protected and simplified, not to mention mounted about a foot further back, so the longer sight radius enhances accuracy even more looking through the peep

       @Lover @mmmfeet @Evil_Bender @GabeLakmann @RadixVerum @Boomerman @RedKaiser I don’t think it was all THAT widespread though. Americans weren’t savage at heart. We pretend it’s common today, but it made its way onto the cover of Time magazine because it was a macabre outlier

If some gook is charging me with a sword i wanna be able to make some follow up shots. They sure didnt look back to hard once they got those M1s

       @RupertvonRipp @Boomerman @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @RedKaiser Conserve Ammo is absolutely vital for the marines, too. They’re dependent on easy target transport ships, and more than a few times ended up stranded when a jap sub sunk their supply. Once they established a bigger comfort margin in ensuring their logistics worked, and the M1 secured a track record of success after a year or two of hard use, then they made the switch. Everything’s a tradeoff. I certainly wouldn’t want a Gas trap garand in 1942, in the pacific. Then you have nothing when it corrodes to shit after a month

       @johnbudd1350 @WashedOutGundamPilot @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @RedKaiser Im the modern age "accuracy" can mean a lot. Does an infantry rifle need to shoot sub moa at 100 yards? Not really its just gotta hit whatever some goober is pointing at. Lots of troops are conscripted so you need a rifle any retard can pick up and use for potentially years.

       If their grandpas were Nazis then they actually DID beat the first antifa.You're right about the German POWs. As well as they were treated by the USA, the Germans actually treated the British and American POWs even better than they got treated. The Germans were the most honorable in the war but the Americans and British were pretty decent too.After all, they had so much in common and were essentially related. It's hard NOT to find common ground and see them as a respectable enemy just doing the same thing you're doing but for their home team.

       British troops really drilled their guys to be great marksmen (see 1914 BEF) but American individual marksmanship was baked into the cake so to speak. Germans had great glass but unless the guy was a Jager the chances of him being a crack shot weren't so hot. Germans did lots of volley fire.

       @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @Boomerman @RedKaiser I can’t remember the battles, but there are at least 2 occasions where the marines landed, established a beachhead, and then watched their navy buddies retreat with their supply shifts aflame. We simply couldn’t guarantee the supply lines for double the ammunition expenditure during the early phase in the war, if not triple. Burning through a clip in the M1 goes quick, and you just keep shooting under pressure. The 1903 forces a pause in between, that greatly slows fire rate, true, but chances are the guy isn’t really hitting anything anyways, judging from the rounds-per-kill metrics

       Yes, I've read that somewhere as well. The Garand increased it but not as much as you'd think and not proportional to the ammo expenditure.It's still like that today though, MGs and crew served weapons I think still get the most casualties and it takes like 100s or even 1000s of rounds per kil.

       Ideally, you'd want well trained riflemen with semi autos who also don't abuse the fact that they have semi autos and make their shots count when needed.When you're reacting to contact or bounding you DO need to lay down some rounds sometimes to keep their heads down so you can maneuver so in the modern age, a bolt action wouldn't really work but the idea of wasting less ammo seems good.

       Does it "need" to shoot 1moa at 100? In my opinion, with modern machinery and materials and ammo... there is no good reason for it not to.When you have a more accurate rifle you can counterbalance the rifleman not being as accurate, like if they're winded from running up some stairs or something.It gives you a larger margin of error.If I were writing the requirements then nothing I bought from here out would be more than 1.5moa.

May be worth reading a bit on them too on the off chance you have an early one. They could blow up because the heat treatment at the time was done by eye, instead of by temperature (IIRC?)https://thecmp.org/sales-and-service/m1903-m1903a3-rifle-information/I like the 1903A3 stock for shooting, but it is a distinctively late war piece. The original is just a straight stick in comparison

It’s depressing, everything I see local is insanely overpriced. Anything WWII vintage is hundreds now, even if barely servicable and ratty. Pawn shops, stores, it doesn’t matter, they all look at gunbroker and decide a turkish mauser stock is definitely $400 because it looks dark and has a bunch of dents in it. I hate it, the hobby got so moneyed so quickly.

       Europeans, specifically Austrians, I think Germans, Swiss, and maybe some others had "schutzenfests" (annual shooting matches) or something similarly named so they were no slouches either.Back then Europe wasn't nearly as gun averse as now.

       @jay_k @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @Boomerman @RedKaiser A lot of the time they’d just cut down the stock, depending on the era. TBH if I had a sporterized 1903 that was done before 1950 I’d leave it. I think 50 years from now people will balk at the idea of guys undoing the work of depression-era hunters sporterizing GI guns. I know yours will be something 70/80s, so probably not applicable, but if the wood was cut down and hand-cut for patterns up front, that’s just as charming as a GI rifle. There’s still millions of government-spec 1903s, but there may only be 1 of the gun that kept a family of 9 warm through the winter of ‘33. At least hold on to whatever you take off. I foresee an era where people will start leaning into sporterized guns in a collector bent, and well-made work may end up quite valuable.

       Whereas the marines were hearing stories of guys being tortured, flayed, starved, and all sorts of gruesome shit. The japs definitely had an idea of what no holds barred meant. Anything Americans did in the pacific was nothing compared to what the Japanese did to POWs.

       A lot of those brutal soviet stories were because of the nonWhites they used too. Mongols and other such subjects. Though, out of all the regimes at the time the European soviets were definitely the most traumatized by their own governments.

       @johnbudd1350 @WashedOutGundamPilot @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @RedKaiser Now to make this a hellthread. The M4/M16 platform is as good an infantry rifle as can be made and will be the standard until the next massive leap in gun tech.

       I went to my local fun shop a few years ago and saw two rifles in particular. An untouched Pattern 14 Enfield and a sportered M1917 Enfield with scope. I went with the P14 but I wonder if the grass is greener.

       I carry it because I've been to war with it and have experience with the platform. But I will always love the 5.56, and why do you need to improve it? People still get wrecked by it body armor or not, if it ain't broke don't fix it!

       It was always funny how artillery always wished they were infantry and said they were "pretty much infantry."In chess, the queen is the most powerful piece with the king only able to move a square at a time.One is called the "queen of battle" and the other the "king of battle."You can probably figure out which is which haha.

       @jay_k @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @Boomerman @RedKaiser Like here’s an example of something that’s better kept than “restored”. This was a “Sedgley Sporter” made after WWI with the plentiful 1903, whomade these guns from 1916 to 1938. He was a Philly gunsmith who otok Winchester high-wall receivers and rebarreled them with winchester barrels after cleaning off all the original markings. He did pretty good euro walnut stocks and excellent Lyman sights to match. People called him the “poor man’s Griffin & Howe”, which is actually high praise for the era. Value 5 years ago was from $1600-2500, so today likely a good deal more. Kinda painful to imagine how many good, beautiful pieces of work are being “returned” to look just like any other POS 1903 when they’re far, far rarerBut if it’s a bubba job from 1985 then rock on, just give ‘er a look over and make sure you don’t magically have something of real enduring quality. Gun nerds are dumb, they’ll toss excellent stuff thinking they’re upgrading to the next, better thing….only to kick themselves later because they gave up something wonderful. (I.e. the guys who traded in Colt Snakes for Glocks in the 90’s)

We were asked not to shoot the steel with rifles. Easy enough. So my retard buddy hits a plate with a 7.62x39 and it doesnt do shit. Tell him we shouldnt shoot it anymore. Grabs my AR and puts like 10 rounds into it. Yell at him. Tells me its cool bro 7.62 did nothing what was wimpy 5.56 gonna do. Well they damn near blew through the plate. Owner got super pissed.

       I think there’s definitely a place for a .30 cal but I don’t think 5.56 is as useless as the army and other shills make it out to be. I like the conspiracy theory that they just don’t want civilians getting hands on armor piercers for the eventual civil situations in the future.

       @jay_k @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @Boomerman @RedKaiser Here’s a griffon built on a model 98. Just imagine being the ghost of the guy who bought this thing, knowing the price, who left it in the family and some boomer ends up throwing cheap, mismatched K98 furniture on it. There’s something funny about that to me. It’s an inversion of the normal “nooooooo don’t change it every milsurp gun is a holy relic don’t tough it” attitude everyone has now.  Originality is valuable no matter what it is, I’d rather have an original sporter than a mismatched mutt milspec rifle, and vice versa. Then again, they’re expensive because they’re popular, not really because they’re all that rare. It’s easy to get a little too invested in junk guns when they’re just old. I don’t care when guys make tanker garands, because it just makes mine go up in value anyway. They made like 7 million of them anyways. https://www.collectorsfirearms.com/products/176641-griffin-howe-custom-98-action-30-06-w-quick-release-scope-r31364.html

       M193 and M855 will go through steel like that pretty easy.People are often surprised what "pea shooter 5.56" will do.For what it is, I'm fine with 5.56 in anything 14.5" and up. Especially the old 20" "musket."

       Those are the sporterized ones I was talking about that AREN'T fudd trash.Larry Potterfield or maybe Brownells showed one sometime for some reason or another and it was very nice. I think larry was hand fitting a recoil pad to it maybe?

       The armor piercing stuff has been going on since like the 80s or 90s I think with the "black talon" pistol rounds.You can still get API rounds for 30-06 believe it or not.

       That or just use Mk262 if we're worried about "overmatch."With a 4x ACOG, a free float rail, and mk262 ammo you can make a m4 a 500m rifle.

       @jay_k @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @Boomerman @RedKaiser I got in the habit from granddad, where everything gets individually bagged with a note card of the gun, the serial, when it was taken off, and why. It’s come in handy over time, we tend to forget and before you know it you’re gonna throw away a barrel band worth $150 to the right guy. But you gotta be able to identify what it is. If nothing else your kids will like it someday. It’s very cool being able to see the writing and see “Removed from 121416 on 1/4/92. Changed bolt to period-correct lot number. Fits all models”

       That is a good practice to have.Keep the parts for spares and try not to sell anything if you don't have to.My other rule is to "buy once cry once."I didn't have very many guns but the ones I had were quality and had quality sights/optics on them.

       I'll take a flat shooting round that is easy to make hits with than something bigger which has more drop or limits the amount you can carry.Most engagements are 400m or less anyways I think and 400-500m and in the 5.56 is perfectly adequate.

       5.45 isn't bad. It's the commie equivalent of 5.56 and works fairly well. Ammo availability not being an issue would cause me to choose it over the 7.62 if I could only have on rifle and that rifle were an AK.

       Those old winchesters are nice.That's what that is, isn't it?I know someone with a 100 year old .22lr that shoots better than new ones. I didn't believe it until I saw it first hand.

       @Chet @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @Boomerman @RedKaiser @jay_k Look under the op rod when you pull it back a little bit, IIRC that’s where the barrel code is. Generally the receiver is made within 8 months of the barrel, sometimes closer.

       @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @Boomerman @RedKaiser @jay_k Yeah, levers seem to be one of those things a lot of widows have, IME. Every time some old lady asks you to “see if its safe” they point you to an old lever gun hiding behind a nook in the garage. If things are real good she’ll give it to you because she’s afraid of it and doesn’t know how to dispose of it

       You might hold on to the parts while pressing the toaster lever down and jiggling them to make sure they fit? j/kI think you meant toaster oven, right?

       From what I can tell doing some quick interneting she is a 1956 receiver with a 1955 barrel by Springfield Armory.

       @Evil_Bender @GabeLakmann @Lover @RadixVerum @RedKaiser @WashedOutGundamPilot At least that appears to be a hex receiver. Those have always been more sought after.

       @GabeLakmann @Lover @RadixVerum @RupertvonRipp Eh, the Deagle's not that bad unless you have noodle arms. I rented one a couple of times a few years back and, other than weird recoil it was fine to shoot. Do you even lift, bro?

       Yes, I lift. The "Deagle" is a piece of shit regardless of it's weight but it is heavy on top of being a piece of shit.I'm not sure if you understand how firearms work but go look at the bolt on the "Deagle" and then look at an m16 bolt...and then look at any other common pistol bolt and draw your own conclusions.

       @Lover @GabeLakmann @RadixVerum @RupertvonRipp Such a good movie. Shame they never made a second one, but they'd probably fuck it up and try to make one of the characters a wooman or something stupid.

       @GabeLakmann @Lover @RadixVerum @RupertvonRipp No, I have no idea how firearms work. I don't use a spare bathroom in my house exclusively as a gun closet, I've never been in the military, I've never been to the range, I've never shot anything burst fire, I've never shot anything full auto (P90 is shit and anyone who says otherwise is a fucking tactiboo). I've also never made my county rescind gun restrictions that were going to get them sued.I also generally try to not take posts seriously when they are made by someone on the toilet, like I was doing before, which is why I memed in low detail/short form.

       @jay_k @Boomerman @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @RedKaiser Far, far and away better than imagined. Hardly even “fudd”, from the looks of it. Fudd shit is when it’s both cheap AND poorly done, like when you see someone drill in a 1/2 lb block of PIC rail to fit a shitty chinese scope after dremeling off the Mark I sights for a “scout” scope. It’s a shame about the stock, it’s actually handsome, as far as aftermarket ones go. Maybe it’s gonna be cool looking with the wood on it. I’ve never found it in myself to go for the long, skinny period scopes but they are cool looking.

       @jay_k @WashedOutGundamPilot @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @RedKaiser Stock isnt bad but i totally disagree with woggy it does look like shit and some nice wood furniture will make it sexy again. I love how slim and sleek the 1903 stock is. Still a nice rifle though and the important stuff looks all good. Most stocks go to shit anyway so theyre an expected loss.

       @WashedOutGundamPilot @Boomerman @GabeLakmann @Evil_Bender @Lover @RadixVerum @RedKaiser Not at all fuddshat, I've babied her back to health. Highly rec Boyd's they do fantastic stocks. Something about having that time period's energy modernized irks the hell out of me. If you go from the metal to the furniture it feels really jarring. Not going to change the mount or scope, the advantage is too drastic. Just want errythang on hand so when it finds it's next owner they're imparted with the soul of it. Sounds gay as hell when I type that out, give daddy dickies
