The only Bersa's worth a shit are the older, steel ones. The new aluminum & plastic ones are less reliable than a politician and work less than Congress. Them & Taureses are the guns I see brought in the most for repairs.Quote:

No. Sitting at a table and sitting on the ground. First time firing the SAIGA.Quote:

The major problem I say is failing to feed and jamming. Maybe that could be the cause.Quote:

Hi. As many of you know I'm a Britbong. In the new year I'll be getting a substantial raise and will be able to, among other things sustain firearms as a hobby. Pretty sure I'd have no dramas obtaining a firearms licence. But beyond the babby killing weapons employed by the British Army I have little knowledge of civilian shooting. Looking at maybe getting involved in some 'sport' shooting (ie hunting) and also some fun shooting.
For the Americlaps in the audience... restrictions, AFAIK for someone with a firearms certificate are shown here.
But the general TL;DR is:
No handguns.
No semi auto above .22LR (I would like one of these though.
That makes me the sad..... how would you own an incredible firearm like the SAIGAQuote:

You shouldn't feel sad. Given your group size you should feel... hunted.Quote:

idk. I just remember that last time I looked surplus mosin ammo was getting expensive.
Was going to say, the .22LR restriction only applies to semi-automatic rifles in the UK. You could own a Mosin Nagant with no problems whatsoever for example, although I think something like a Garand would be illegal.
Be a patriot, buy an SMLE and a tin hat. You're not going to be able to get yourself a pistol IIRC.
I want to do some steaks and make a fair bit of jerky. Not sure how I'm going to use all of it tbh :)Quote:

Better recoil mitigation? Better than blowback? Does 1911 come with ~balanced automatics~ or something?
My point is, guns chambered in .380 are too small to be shot well, IMO. In a gun that small, you're better off with .32 ACP. If you want a stronger caliber, get a larger gun.
I just bought 440 rounds for like 130 $Quote:

I'm told .303 is a shit hunting round though. 7.62x54r would be better I think.Quote:

get a little .22 for plinking, and a shotgun or two for actual shooting. basically, unless you're a massive cock guns are a-ok although it's more of a normal thing where i live (cheshire/derbyshire border), not sure how it's viewed down south.
10 or a 12bore omnom
.308 would be a much better option than x54R or .303. For hunting you want jacketed soft point bullets, not the FMJs. 99% of ammo for x54R and probably .303 is FMJ, no bueno.
I don't think you can own soft points in the UK though.Quote:

So using ballistol to clean my mosin.. fuck man does this shit smell bad

Real men clean their mosins with crushed brick.
Soviet guns should only be cleaned with the blood of a freshly killed nazi.
The soviet mosin doesn't need to be cleaned because the unfortunate soul manning it dies long before it gets to that point.
But the next man will need to clean the gore off eventuallyQuote:
