  1. didn't see any marks.. didn't bang anything up.. no obvious cracks.. really happy with it!
  2. because he says so? if that were the case.. TECHNICALLY swapping barrels on an AR15 would be illegal.. because the rifle somewhere in the middle would be too short.. TECHNICALLY swapping stocks on SOME shotguns would be illegal because in the middle it would be too short.. actually to take it a step further.. if the barrel MUST ALWAYS be 18in + to avoid having the gun being "sbr" then rifle conversions would also be illegal.. because at the point when the stock is off the gun.. if you cut the tang.. the gun that is in front of you (incomplete) is technically a hair too short.. it woul
  3. I have an S12 and have had no issues with it.. tonight I was shooting some lighter ammo and grabbed some shells that felt like they cycled harder and I am unfamiliar with.. I don't know a ton about shotgun ammo other than light ammo goes on 2 and heavy ammo goes on 1.. well this ammo that was mixed in got shot through the gun on 2.. cycled hard I do not notice any broken parts.. cracked anything.. nor do I know anything about the ammo.. they were just shells that were mixed in with my other shells.. the ammo is "super X" 2 3/4 1 1/4 4 shot on setting 2 did I make a big mistake..
  4. I find the notion of not being legally allowed to work on your own gun appalling.. sure if you cut your barrel down to 10in and then put it away in your safe.. and come in contact with LEO and they take notice.. you are likely screwed... but if you are working on your gun.. there has to be a little bit of reason understood.. if what you are saying is true.. it would be impossible to do something as simple as change out a stock on a gun that netted "too short of a length".. if what you are saying is true an AR "lower" would be a SBR since the lower is the part that is considered a firearm
  5. I am pretty sure that converting a brand new Saiga out of the box and then selling it requires more than just FFL1
  6. what FFL license level and what are the fees for the following activities.... 1) taking a factory Saiga and converting it.. then offering it for sale... 2) taking in a customers factory Saiga converting it.. then returning it... thanks in advance for any info..
  7. +1 I just leave my aimpoints on 24/7 going on 2 years with one.. no battery change.. still bright as day one..

    Rail ?

    Not sure yet really. probably a red dot or reflex sight, maybe a flashlight. the setup you are considering is overkill IMO... I wanted a rail.. but when I considered the practical use of the weapon.. I realized I was making it heavier than need be.. you could go.. ultimak rail with red dot and off set flashlight or arsenal rail with kvar handguard and a red dot on a side mount.. both IMO satisfy what you are trying to accomplish while keeping the weapon as light and as streamlined as possible.. not a direct answer to your question.. but another option to consider.

    Rail ?

    what are you putting on the rail?
  10. Yes. That's with the stock fully extended. Also barrel length has to be over 16". right with the stock as far out as it will go.. fully extended.. with the stock collapsed or folded it does not matter..
  11. double check your laws.. to the letter.. NJ does not allow pistol grip either.. and that stock in NJ would be a pistol grip even with it being attached to the stock.. NJ law does NOT define thumbhole stock.. they do however define pistol grip..
  12. Blowing stuff up... time crunches to complete builds.. putting together exotic builds "just because".. even a little drama here and there with some of their personal lives.. I get it... in the name of TV.... but when you get to the point of when things are not being taken care of properly.. and there are explosions over petty nonsense.. and extensive childish bickering.. that is where I just shake my head.. sure it is just TV.. I get that.. I am not a child.. but that does not mean things are perfect in the real world.. I am not a worker there.. I do not know Will personally.. I am simply sayi
  13. I have on more than one occasion defended Will.. not that I am anyone.. or my opinion even matters.. I have on many occasions stated what you did.. it is just a TV show.. but then there are other things that have happened that actually happened.. in real life.. which are hard to ignore.. and just to add.. there is a difference between "putting on a show" and being made to look incompetent.. I am all for putting on a show..
  14. TV show or not.. I would not let my "shop" be portrayed in such a ridiculous light.. the entire place appears to be a circus.. just remember the SHOP has to support itself after the novelty of the SHOW wears off.. and while several years ago I viewed RJ as a premier builder... one that was above the rest.. now the show portrays the whole operation as some mess.. unable to build an AR15.. losing parts.. come on.. why would anyone allow themselves to be shown in such an absurd way.. you might be selling the show.. but you are certainly not building confidence in the business..
  15. thanks for all the compliments.. I am really happy with the feel and handling of the gun.. really busy snowboarding this month and next.. but once the weather shifts I will put in some hard use range time into it to see if it stands up.. I have grown very used to the AK reliability factor and am eager to see how this compares.. I have had other ARs.. but this is the first one I really put together.. only thing I am missing is the ambi safety.. the guy who I purchased it from kept it... I really wanted a Magpul lower... I like Magpul stuff a lot... but that was obviously not going to happen.. I

  17. while I get that it is "just a TV show" I don't get the following.... at the start of the show vince appears to question the ability kris has in completing the AR.. vince is told the AR is not his project and to work on what he has to work on... basically told to mind his own business.. kris fails at assembling a piston driven AR15... which without being rude.. I really don't get.. vince then does not help kris and focuses on his projects.. as he was told to.. then vince gets punished for not doing the AR that he was told not to focus on...
  18. kind of like this... there is a plate.. plate wont slip..
  19. I guess that is my complaint.. an axis pin plate is like a $7 part? cheaper wholesale.. just use the plate and call it a day.. clips and bent wire to me is a cut corner.. one not worth having over such a small savings..
  20. no it was way worse than that.. it was just bent over one of the rivets.. and looked like it could slide off at any moment..
  21. they are junk.. the fire control group is rigged up with some pin that is bent over some rivets.. I would not purchase one of those converted guns.. god only knows what other corners are cut..
  22. there is no better mount than Ultimak.. period.. it offers real time co-witness with a red dot..
  23. there is a "rumor" that the "business" made a change of hands at some point.. there was supposedly an issue with records.. and the business was "relaunched" with a different individual named as the "owner". none of which was really a problem.. but now there is discussion that the new "owner" wants to possibly explore a different direction.. since he is the "owner" and I guess named indiviidual for FFL reasons.. it has created an issue.. but again that is all second hand hear say information I have heard.. I have no first hand information.. I am NOT into "gossiping" but that is the dis
  24. with all due respect.. the reason the 30 round mag is in the way when using a bi-pod is because you are using a hammer to bang in a screw... right tool for the right job.. imo
