Well no updates but I guess I'll post. Next is the rear handguard. Been organizing my tools so this time I'll probably have a much easier time making it. Clip attachment may be interesting, I think I want to just go with super tiny screws rather than nails. Easier to adjust and clean that way. Need to go and get those walnuts soon if I want to stain this year and don't want to wait until next August.

Idk if theres any based surp stores up there, havent been up that way in a long time.

Id suggest saving extra, and add on a few days to your trip. Grand Teton, Yellowstone and the Bill museum can be multi-day affairs in their own right.

Also, dont be a fucking tourist when youre in the parks. The speed limit is low so enjoy the scenery, dont slam the brakes to take a picture of a fucking squirrel, dont pass at mach jesus on blind double yellows and leave the wildlife alone for christs sake.

If you think you want to move here, fuck off, were full. If that wont deter you, spend a couple weeks in Casper in January.

If youre visiting in the fall, watch for Jackalopes. Rutting starts in mid September, and the little shits are aggressive af.

Do post pics here, and maybe on /out/ for some of that sweet, sweet chemo.

The fuck happened to the other one? Some regulars weren't getting enough personal attention or what?

Tenacious Trilobite.
Not necessarily for his videos, which are great. But also because he uses the same username across websites which means ive found his load data and posts on some of the specific guns in his youtube videos which have been helpful for my own load data/research.

I know the tripfag Tennis Balls posted the cursed NASCAR Arisaka, which Trilobite did a video on. So I know its at least possible he might lurk here too.

Austria:
i had milsurp worth 70.000
law changes, lefty cuckoldry
now i have milsurp worth 15.000-20.000 at best.

boys, i'm pissed.

>>64396943
What happened in Austria?

>>64396555
yea he lurks but is more active on discord. if you ever have specific load data questions for him you can hit him up in the C&Rsenal discord server.

other than the annoyance of having to clip the bullet tips for the mag to feed, the Dalesaka is extremely pleasant to shoot. love me a good .30-06 with aperture sights. its obviously lightweight and handy as well due to its massive bubbafication.

Anyone has any experience with their products? Don't want to Bubba her too bad, but I feel it's more defendable since it at least is the 'original' scope configuration.

>buying physical silver
lol. lmao even.

Picked this up from my ffl today, can't wait to shoot it tomorrow.

>>64402840

>>64402857

>>64402879
wow thats a steal

>>64402879
is it a 98/48?

>>64402910
yes

>>64402919
98/48s are good rifles, Need to shoot mine, its been a while.

>>64402895
no problem. original clips are a tall order. The only two Ive ever seen are the one I own and the one TT bought.

>>64404434
>original clips are a tall order.
Yea. and even so the 220 swift reloads dont fit them so its kind of meh since I dont really trim the rims down to fit.
I have around 40 umc rounds I figured id try it out with but the 3 or so S&S clips I have are (rightfully and as I was forewarned) shit.

Closest i've gotten so far was the table that sold me the bayonet at the Vegas show the guy said he had one, he dug around.....turned out he didnt. Big sad. Half the fun is the hunt though.

Are any of the new production m1 carbines worth my time? Are the fulton armory ones g2g assuming I dont have a fulton armpry rifle?

>>64407480
I've been too lazy to mess with loads for my Lee Navy, but I do have a few original rounds

>>64407510
probably, for a long time they were priced at what actual WW2 guns were, but now that M1 prices have gone full retard its probably worth it to get a new one. Just make sure the commercial guns are 'milspec'. that way if it has any reliability issues you can swap in surp parts. The only no-go ones off the top of my head are the Universal M1s from the 80s

>>64402815
The no digital silver

>>64408186
i already have the rifle, its the magazines from fulton im asking about specifically. ive got a junk bundle from Apex but i wouldnt mind having something that actually feeds through the whole mag.

>>64408774
I havent tried the Fulton armory ones. most of the ones I use are USGI surplus, I had two that wouldnt feed correctly (double feeds), i loaded them to capacity and left them on a shelf for like 2 or 3 years and they work fine now

I have a very specific question about the post Civil War, pre .45-70 days. Ive seen mention that in about 1870, Spencers were pulled out of cavilry use and replaced with .50-70 Sharps carbines. So for from like 1867-1870, the US rifle was a trapdoor in .50-70 and its carbine was a Spencer in .56-50, but then from 1870-1873 the carbine was a .50-70 Sharps. Is this correct? Would it be possible for a unit to have had percussion Sharps during the war, get them replaced with Spencer's, and then get them changed BACK to the Sharps, now cartridge converted, before going to he 1873 carbine? This isnt event taking the Navy's .50-70 Rolling Block rifles and carbines into account

>>64410097
Seemingly there also were .50-70 trapdoors starting in 1870. So like, if I am a cavalry trooper in 1872, what am I getting issued?
