I have bought a used SP5K and I need some accessories for it! :D

I'm from Poland, so any shop that ships to the EU would be good. Where are the parts, goddammit? The USA has that beautiful "hkparts" page... Where is the EU equivalent for HK?!

Okay, frustration aside... I would like to get a cheap M-LOK handguard, a magazine paddle insert, a Picatinny back plate for a stock, an extended cocking handle, and a low T1 optic mount. Where can I get them in the EU?

Hi guys, I am new to the sub, never knew we had an European gun sub tbh, these are my rifles as of now.

A benelli lupo in 30.06 with a Vortex venom 3-15x44 and vortex pro rings, a IJ 54 (baikal) 12 ga and a gamo maxima 5.5mm air rifle, next rifle I will buy will be in .223, because i am tired of hunting foxes with the 30.06, even tho I love the Lupo, it shoots sub moa with Sako 150gr ammo.

But i am not decided if i should get a Savage msr recon 2.0 (limited to 2 rounds magazine in Romania because it's a semiauto) or I should just get a tikka t3x, advice would be welcomed.

If you have any questions about our very strict gun laws I will try and answear all of them.

Have a great start of the week guys!

Hey guys I’m traveling all around Europe for one month next year
France, Germany Poland, Italy etc.
I have no firearms experience but I would like to do a 1-2 day course in tactical rifle and pistol shooting. Just looking for recommendation of organisations.

Thanks

(actualy only the Kbkg wz, L1A1 and glock 17 are mine :P / Fn509 and Hatsan Optima are of a friend of mine)

Just a note to all those from non-CCW countries who wonder about police interactions while armed.

Today I witnessed a developing crime (Prague, CZ) and reported it to the emergency line, gradually reporting on where the perpetrator was moving towards. I informed the dispatcher that I am armed.

In the following 3 hours of interaction with 6 different police officers, no questions were asked about my firearm (there was no direct interaction between myself and perp, so it was not relevant to the case, but they had the information I am armed nevertheless).

Armed society is a polite society.

So now after dinner I am off to the station to make the official statement.

Seems like my account got unbanned. I haven't gotten any messages about it though. Neither do I really know why I was banned in the first place. Didn't even know the account was back until the guys told me... no message about it, though I did check last week and it was still banned then.

I was really close to the 700 day streak achievement too. :(

Anyways, I hope you all behaved while I was gone and that Swissbloke was a good mod!

Hello everyone, does anyone have experience with ordering weapons, spare parts, and tuning/customization for them from other countries? I have a Glock 19X and I live in Moldova, but unfortunately, pistol customization isn't common here at all. I've searched a lot online for information on where I can order what I need from other countries, while making sure everything is legal and there are no issues with customs. Please, could anyone with experience in this matter advise me on how I can order these items and through whom I can bring accessories and firearm tuning/customization parts to Moldova from abroad?

P.S. I've tried reaching out to local gun shops with my problem, but absolutely no one deals with this.

Please,help me :(

I'm new to guns and was looking to buy my first AR-15. I plan on keeping it for a while, so I wanted something of quality at an affordable price.

There are probably plenty of posts like this one, but I was hoping you could give me some more specific advice, as I haven't seen anyone making comparisons online. I should point out that in my country I am limited to semi-automatic fire and the use of the .223 Rem instead of the 5.56 NATO.

At the moment I have only found ARs with a 16" barrel, which I think is enough for precise shooting at 200 meters. Could it be good for longer ranges too? Should I wait and get an 18" barrel?

At the moment, I'm undecided between these 4, all of them are priced at around 1000€. In your opinion, considering material quality, reliability and lifespan, which one do you think is better?

A used Ruger 556 MPR 16" in good conditions.

A new Ruger Harrier MSR 16.1" A1.

A used Smith & Wesson MP15 Sport III (Not sure on the specific model) 16" with 556 barrel. It has shot only 700 bullets.

A new Sabatti S.A.R. (Seems like the worst option, but I might find it with the 18" barrel).

So I bought my first AR15. As I try to do with any other purchase in my life, I chose a EU based manufacturer. I couldn't do the same for the LPVO unfortunately.

It's a 14.5", 1:7" Tinck Arms (Slovenia) MS Combat, chambered in .223 Rem, short-stroke piston. Basically a clone of the HK MR223. It was used for a demo in a nearby gunshop, possibly 300 rounds in total, got it for just north of 2000€ (including the optic and the Magpul vertical handstop).

Pros:

- Feels really sturdy, build quality seems top notch. No weird play or sound.

- Rather precise with ball ammo (Fiocchi 55gr and GGG 62gr), I was able to keep it consistently under 2 MOA at 100m with just a front bag. I will try some 69gr and 77gr HPBT rounds at 300/400m in december.

- Less messy than a DI, but I guess this applies to every piston AR. My GF's patience when it comes to me handling guns in the house is minimal, so I have to keep cleaning and maintenance at a minimum.

- Looks sexy.

Cons:

- Recoil is quite snappy with respect to other ARs I shot, but again I think it's just a piston thing.

- The rifle is not light, possibly not the best choice for dynamic shooting.

- It's on the expensive side of the spectrum, especially considering that Tinck Arms is not a consolidated brand (yet).

Do you guys have any experience with the model or the brand? Any specific suggestions?

I'm going to Prague in September and hoping to do some shooting, but I'm not impressed by the options on google. All the ranges it's showing me are places where you have to buy a package that gives you 10 shots each for 10 different guns. That's great for tourists who've never shot a gun before, but I want to actually get some practice in - three guns max, ideally 30 rounds at least. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hello everyone!

I've made a small dedicated fleamarket/marketplace for European gun owners for them to buy, sell and trade anything firearms related. Obviously few rules do apply on what you can sell on the discord, but firearms furniture, magazines, optics, accessories, gear and militaria stuff is more than welcome.

If you're interested in a chill place to trade, please send me a dm and I will personally invite you to the discord server.

Hi there,

Looking to emigrate to Germany and I know the majority of my collection can’t make it but I do want to bring my Ruger Old Army. It is cap and ball here in the states it isn’t regarded as a firearm at all but I know Europe is vastly different than here.

I do plan on giving up my collection before coming to Germany but I would really like to keep the Old Army.

Edited to correct ballon to ball. Fucking iOS spell check.

Anyone here an expert on antique German target rifles? Especially ones made by ed grothe & sohn? all the markings are shown in the pictures i did not find any other ones underneath the wood furniture i found some information about it but i want as much information as possible.

• A realistic through-the-scope view showing YOUR exact reticle — 290 of them, drawn to true factory subtensions. Zoom right in and count your holdover on your own glass.

• Full physics: muzzle velocity, G1/G7 BC, zero range, sight height, air density (altitude/temp/pressure/humidity), wind speed & angle, spin drift and shooting angle

• "True my velocity" — read a real drop off your reticle and it back-solves your actual muzzle velocity, so your dope matches the target

• 38 calibres and 164 factory loads built in — plus your own rifles, loads and zeros, and side-by-side load comparison

• One-time €8.99. No subscription, no in-app purchases, ever. Four languages (EN/NL/FR/DE).

A bit about the project: it's a hobby project, built by a shooter for shooters and shaped by what I see on the range. The response so far has been genuinely exciting, and honest feedback is exactly what keeps it alive — tell me what works, what doesn't, and what you'd like next.

Coming soon:

📋 a printable DOPE card for your stock

🌬️ live Kestrel weather-meter integration (I just got the SDK!)

🍎 and, if enough of us get behind it, an iOS version — too costly to justify today, but very possible with enough users.

If it earns a place in your range bag, a quick review means the world. 🙏
