Howdy y'all!

What options do I have for a lightweight backpacking rifle? I've had experience with the M4 / AR-15 platform, but am looking for something lightweight and portable. Preferably something I can stow on a hike and such.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

I wanted it to look like a modernized PPSH.

Put an adjustable gas BCG from Sharps in it and got a Cole-TAC suppressor cover to finish it.

So after the last couple years of seeing how protests get treated based on how much larping they're doing, I bought some plates and a carrier.

I'm fully aware the only thing it does is stop me from dying immediately from a body shot, and only covers like 10% of me.

But the only reason I got it was because cops have been showing for decades they won't start violence against protesters when even just a few are plated up and holding a rifle. And I got a feeling there's gonna be some protests again.

My issue is I look like a nazi's wet dream even when I'm not geared up, and it's not like someone can read a Tshirt under a plate carrier.

I wanted to grab some patches from SRA, but all they sell is stickers, and Etsy just has vague slogan patches you wouldn't be able to read from five feet away.

I did see some links where the reddit sub had been doing mass patch orders over the years. Is there any community not on the big social media doing the same?

Or any other methods to show you're an ally besides just facing the right way?

I'm also a little hesitant to slap something like an antifa rose on because I can't see trump not declaring them a terrorist group at some point.

Just picked up my B&T SRBS 556 suppressor

I've been looking at plate carriers lately but I don't know much about them. I have some level 4 plates I bought a few years ago. Would like to go the milsurp route to save some coin if I can. Anyone want to chime in with opinions or examples of setups they're happy with?

Fae's also Autistic, like me.

Fae didn't know it was technically an American holiday till I told faer today for our therapy session.

Fun fact: the wife of the person that was executed became a CPUSA member (the wife of one of the leaders of the group)!

Her house was burned down and the FBI took all her papers from the wreckage, her burnt memoirs and all that, and whatever else she was writing.

All that history... lost.
