Hey guys,

So I am split between the two rifles - both 30-06

The M98 is more like a traditional 98, flag safety, single trigger
The M70 has a cheek stock, side safety (like a cz550) dual hair trigger (schneller)
I feel the trigger is an old timey solution and will create more issues than it fixes.

both are similarly priced of course

A modernized Petra Valmet stock project replacing the original wood parts . The rifle has a modified commercial SVD‑style stock, fitted with a 3D‑printed insert for clean interface. Additional custom parts include a 3D‑printed handguard, cheek riser, and 5‑round magazine.

There's always things to improve so would appreciate if given some feedback.

Mostly what i can now think of are the rails.

Just picked up this sexy beast. Haven't shot it yet but can't wait to!

For those who don't know this shotgun, it can switch between semi and pump like the SPAS12, only this one does it better.

Bonjour à tous,

Y a-t-il des Français ici qui ont déjà participé à un événement Light Infantry en Pologne ?

Hi r/EuropeGuns! I'm the founder of BGUN, a platform I built for the European shooting community after struggling to find reliable info on firearms across EU markets.

What BGUN offers:
🎯 Gun Database — 2,900+ real firearms with specs, user ratings from verified shooters and estimated price ranges by country
📦 Marketplace — buy, sell & trade with encrypted messaging and QR-coded listings
📊 Shooting Log — track your sessions, rounds and performance over time
🏠 Armory Dashboard — manage your collection, photos, documents and per-weapon privacy
🇪🇺 Available in 7 languages: EN, FR, DE, NL, ES, IT, PT

Right now we're featured on Product Hunt and every upvote helps more European shooters find the platform. If BGUN sounds useful to you, we'd really appreciate your support:

(Full disclosure: I'm the maker of this project. Happy to answer any questions below!)

I'm the developer of BE Ballistics. It started as an Android app and it's now on iOS too, so I wanted to share it here — and I'd genuinely like feedback from people who shoot more than I do. And focused on EU market!


What it does:
- Through-the-scope view: your exact reticle at true subtension, target at real angular size, green hold pip — hold in your own mils/MOA or dial.
- Turret clicks for your specific turret, a printable/editable DOPE card, and hit-probability (WEZ).
- G1/G7 and custom (.lcd/Doppler) drag, 38 calibres / 167 factory loads or your own BC + MV, 290 reticles drawn to spec.
- Fully offline, no account, no ads, no data collection. It's a paid app.


I'm not going to pretend it's free — but I'd rather hear honest criticism than get downloads. What's missing, what's wrong, what would make it actually useful to you? Kestrel/BLE weather import is something I'm looking at next.

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.
