r/retroguns
ActiveA place for cool old-school guns and retro aesthetic. Those vintage guns you know and love from your favorite movie, video game, or 20th century military conflict. We especially love to see modded stuff, whether it be period-correct modifications or just modern optics and lights retrofitted to work with old guns. It's a totally arbitrary cutoff, but please nothing after about 2010 or so. Flattop ARs are accepted if they are GWOT clones. Newer productions of vintage gun designs are also welcome.
