General Discussion The Buttstroke

2 Upvotes

So, do modern firearms just break if you do a Buttstroke? Lots of film shows people whacking opponents with the butt of their rifle, I imagine this like started with the old wooden rifles but now everything is made of plastic. Is this still something you could do with a rifle and then have it remain operational afterward?

I found an old camera tripod and was curious to see if it could be used as a mount for my Remington model 700. To be clear, I'm only assuming it's a camera tripod, I don't know for certain

Question Ammo damaged in shipping from AE ammo - safe?

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

Bought a case of 9mm training ammo and a few boxes of Federal HST and Syntech.

All the boxes were damaged to some degree- even the bulk ammo in the inner box.

The federal HST specifically got pretty beat up - the inner plastic that holds the rounds is damaged in two boxes.

I havent inspected much of it yet but theres atleast 1 round of the federal that the bullet was pushed too far into the casing.

My question is would yall still trust the ammo? Especially the federal to be in my carry guns (excluding any that got pushed in, which may just be the one idk yet) or is their other ways it could be damaged that are less noticeable?

And is the rest of the bulk ammo probably safe to shoot? Most of that will be run through my scorpion which has the whole OOBD thing. Im no expert on that issue but I know spicy rounds can cause it. - idk if any damage it could have gotten would cause a bad shot or just not fire or what

Also Ive never bought anything less then a case online- is it normal that it was packed with no barrier? There was packing paper on the side but nothing between the ammo boxes and the big box which I imagine is where the damage comes from - getting crushed. Last picture shows how it was packaged - paper.

I tried searching online to see what kind of firearm this was since I took it a while ago and found it in my photos but I canโ€™t seem to find anything. Iโ€™m thinking maybe itโ€™s some kind of competition gun since it looks pretty odd especially since it was surrounded by rifles and such with that classic wood design making it look rather modern. Maybe Iโ€™m wrong but would love any help figuring it out!

Well, at least one state is looking to fix the gray area that the ATF's decision created for the 15 states with their own NFA laws. I hope this sets a precedent.

I've been on the hunt for 15 years for this gun! I can't contain my excitement!

Not only did I get one, but two! Both were a blast to shoot so far.

2x IMI JERHICO 941 R.

The nicer early 0035xx serial had the .41AE conversion with it as well.

Looking for coil spring, sight and magazine recommendations. preferably oem of stuff

Might make one of them a Spike clone as well so could use some leads on grips as well . It's in the same 0035xx line as spikes gun!
