Question Converting a wildcat M1 carbine back to USGI spec

5 Upvotes

I have a .30 carbine M1 that was converted to some smaller wildcat cartridge in the 60s that I inherited from my grandfather. I'm not exactly sure what cartridge it is now, but it's useless to me as is.

Has anyone restored one of these back to stock spec? I'm at work now but I can get pics of it later if anything is needed. The action seems to be stock. The barrel is measuring around .25 cal.

Question Swap upper or new Build?

8 Upvotes

Hey Everyone, just looking for some feedback.

I have a Springfield Saint Victor 16" chambered in 5.56 and with all the noise around the NFA I'm looking to add a shorter barrel, something around 10-11" with an eye to suppressing it later.

Theoretically, I could simply grab a complete upper from PSA and stick it on my lower receiver, no? Or would I be better served just getting a whole new gun? I'm more concerned with it being affordable to be honest but obviously I want to make sure everything is compatible

I'm more familiar with pistols than my rifle so please excuse me if this was a dumb question. Thanks!

Note: I'd rather not get something in .300 blackout as I'm trying to be narrow on my ammo ecosystem and keep it to 9mm and 5.56

EDIT: thanks to all who replied! Was a big help

I haven't shot in a long time, but my friend and I are looking for ranges in the Raleigh, NC area that are cool with leftists. They are non-binary and I just want to make sure they feel safe where we go. I did a search and didn't find anything.

I was cleaning up the collection and reorganizing the other day and figured I would get some 30mmx11mm dovetail mid height rings to spruce up my late grandfather's old 1953-4 Mossberg 340k .22lr it was his first rifle, and the first one I ever shot. Traded out the 4x32 Barska rimfire scope for a Monstrum 1-6×24 I had from an old airsoft build. And yes, despite the slight overlap of the rear mount over the rear of the chamber breech, it cycles flawlessly. Running cheap ammo, it's about 1.5moa, but with match SK and Eley, it's around .85-.90 from bench with bags. Just thought it'd be fun to share. Also, if anyone has a hookup on these magazines that aren't $50-70, please let me know, I can find 'em, but god they're expensive.

THe ICE agent was blackout drunk, sleeping on some random guys lawn, he then assulted the home owner and his daughter when asked to move, and ends up getting shot by the 72 year old home owner when he assaults his daughter. The daughter then get's drunk fk legitimately arrested by her boyfriend, a Fresno Police Officer.

We have an obvious case of a 2A homeowner and a local police officer vs ICE agent thinking and acting above the law?? Hard choice!

Discussion Love guns but stuck in a place that don't have em

39 Upvotes

Is there any place in the world where an avarage comrade can live and own a semi automatic rifle without hassle? Only country with loose gun laws that I know of is the US but it don't look like a good place to live, especially with the.. fascist takeover...

Not that I could ever move anywhere due to damn near everything abt my life but I got tired of lusting over yall's awesome guns and thought I might as well ask this question to engage with the community.

I also wanted ask about making guns but I have a feeling we can't do that here?

Question If you saw someone dressed like this approaching you with a machine gun, what would be your reaction? Would you know this person was a federal agent?

The sub doesn’t allow cross posting but saw this on r/askanything….What are you doing? Assuming, you don’t think he is a federal agent how would you legally protect yourself if you were to engage?

Opens up a lot of questions and concerns regarding my belief that I would be always willing and able to engage an active shooter in which I believe is a threat to the public.

Almost forgot how much fun PCCs are to shoot. 25 yards, couple of different stances. Next up is taking it outside to get it out to 50 and 100. Hopefully by then I'll have it SBR'ed so I can legally swap the handstop for a very and replace the stab with a real stock. Also, to anybody that's read this far, what do you recommend for a reliable but affordable WML?

Discussion the second test fire went slightly less perfect but still well. no damage to me, and nothing major to the gun.

the fixed firing pin was a filed down weld dot, and that broke because I had to baby that weld. other than that, it went well. I cut out a new spring spacer/buffer from a thick rubber mat, it worked nicely. the firing pin should be an easy fix.

I made this a while back, but I hadn't got the chance to test it till recently. it's all completely legal and safe. everything used is scrap, including the barrel. the barrel is the only piece intended to be part of a gun, I found it on a shelf of scrap metal. no idea what it's from, it's incredibly thick. this was the first and only take. the gun is intact, as am I.

Question CCWs at social events

20 Upvotes

To those who conceal carry regularly/semi-regularly, what do you do for more public gatherings like a street fest or bar? For ease of conversation, let’s assume no rules are being violated by bringing a CCW to said event/establishment. Do you tell your friends and/or significant other that you are bringing it? Does it take you out of the moment (either because you feel a need to have more situational awareness or whatever else)?
