I've got a question, re-reading the NY AWB, it actually sounds like I could get ten-round mags. But in order to legally use ten-round mags in my completely-stock Saiga-12, would I need to change around parts to remain 922r compliant?

Herb Phillipsons Army Navy shops. I couldn't believe it either, but that's what the tags read.

Well crap. But on the other hand, never had any complaints with the layout of my current shotty, so I guess another with a shorter barrel and the clamp-on front sight is cheaper than tinkering with the guts. I'll spend the money saved on more of those deliciously inexpensive Keepshooting five-rounders.

I've had a Saiga for ages, but now the local sporting goods store carries new ones for $339, and I figure I might as well pick up another. Problem/advantage is that they're the ones with choke tubes. Since NY has the permanent AWB, am I able to put a pistol grip on, or would I have mag+PG+muzzle three-evil-features problems? I know the five-rounders aren't evil hicaps, and they're all I can legally own and use in NY, but can I modify the shotgun if I buy it? I'm not touching my ol' reliable S-12, and I'm definitely getting another, but I figure I need an EBR and I like shotguns better tha

Nothing custom except the BHO notch I never use, lives in the barn office, never gets maintained, but it has fired over eleven thousand rounds since I bought it in '04 with two stoppages- one squib and one misfeed.

MAS-49/56 rifles are either okay or nonfunctional, as stated. JFPO had a writeup that slammed them hard, other people have said their work most of the time. Personally, for the price, I'd pounce. They're going for about $350 whenever I see 'em, and even if you've gotta drop forty bucks in new springs you're still ahead of the game.

It occurs to me- Most folks have tried to make the automatic bolt hold open function from the rear of the magazine, either with a flange directly pressing up to obstruct the bolt, or pushing up on a sliding somethingorother integral to the reciever to do the same thing. However, the important part of the Saiga mag is the feed lips, which are small and located back there, which makes it a difficult place to work. I wonder if a forward BHO would be a better idea. Imagine if you would a brace attached at a fulcrum point near the front of the magazine attachment indentation in the fron

Look for a SR-41

They're more collectable than Mausers, much rarer, and much harder to modify excepting mags.

Okay, it only went 1057 rounds before a jam using Wallyworld ammo and no cleaning, and after a cleaning it's back to good again, but when I went to switch the gas plug for mag loads (there were geese in the field yesterday, they looked tasty and convenient), I found the gas plug rather frozen, with a slight smudge of rusyness on the threads. Not surprising, given it's used about daily, lives in the barn office, and hasn't been completely stripped and cleaned for six months, but still disappointing- not even my Mosins go bang more reliably. Tried PB B'LASTER and then a little judicious he

Supposedly .410 and .45-70 are somehow compatable, so I wonder if somebody's dared try this?

Extend the bayo on a '44 or affix the bayo on a 91/30. Trust me. And all the brakes available right now are crap.

Shotgun hull and my finger, or my leatherman multi-tools' file blade. Honestly, I never really fool with it.

A buddy just got a Valtro mag-fed pump shotgun, and I wonder if the five and seven round mags could be adapted, or at least purchased cheaper than true 8-rounder Saiga-12 mags.

Careful what you feed it! It's chambered for 7.62x51 CETME, not 7.62x51 NATO or .308 Winchester. Spanish ammo is MUCH milder loaded than even military, much less commerical super-duper hunting ammo. Don't blow yourself up!
