  1. I used to have one, but I lost it in a boating accident. Looks like it is gone and lost forever.
  2. I bought a few surefires, (And had Cobra cut two of them down to 2 rounds). I am satisfied with their performance, but I had to do a fair amount of "A" and "B" fitting on the surefires to get them to lock into my Saigas. So, even with surefires, there will be filing required, most likely. I have some clear gen II AGP mags, and aside from a slight problem with the followers protruding too far after the last round is fired (AGP sent me new followers for free right away- good company to deal with), I haven't had any feeding issues, and the AGP mags didn't need to be modified. They locked posi
  3. Sorry to rain on the saltwater parade here, but according to Snopes.com the first two steps are confirmed, and there is good evidence that the other things listed can help relieve flu symptoms, but there is no evidence that the rest of them actually kill H1N1 viruses. The relevant article can be found here: http://www.snopes.com/medical/swineflu/prevent.asp Google searches for "gargle salt water" and "Vinay Goyal" turned up several versions of this piece, so it's definitely travelled far and wide. For what it's worth, I gargled some warm salt water and swabbed my nose out with salt
  4. So far, the results are more mixed than I expected. Interesting. I think she's on board now, although she is really, really bored. You can only watch House, MD so many times. My efforts may have been in vain. I feel like I'm getting a cold. If I start to run a fever, I'm gonna have to miss work. As a "temp" employee, my employer does provide sick time, but they look really hard at attendance when they consider who to keep and who to lay off. I figure if my temp is under 102, I can probably work. Fortunately, it's not too close to very many people, and it's a clean room environment,
  5. I finally took mine to the range. If I used it on a home invader, it would be very effective, because he would be deaf, blind, and on fire. Unbelievable fireballs, and particles of burning powder out of this thing. Definitely fire with mouth closed.
  6. So my GF has H1N1 and I've been making runs to the store for her to get her palatable foods, fluids, and medicines, and checking in on her multiple times a day, but she is upset that I won't stay and watch a movie with her or stay and cuddle. She has a nasty secondary cough from a post nasal drip, and I just can't bear the thought of all those H1N1 aerosols coming my way and infecting me. She asked me, "what if we were married and living together" and I explained that I would probably sack out on the couch to try to minimize my exposure, and she was very unhappy with that. This poll is just
  7. It hand cycles okay. Not as smooth as my arsenal milled gun, but I wasn't expecting too much from a Romy. I haven't fired it yet, but it goes click reliably. by slightly, I mean it is visible when I have the top cover off. The rear trunnion is tilted roughly maybe about 2 degrees to the left compared with the front trunnion and sight block. It's subtle, but it's there.
  8. Well, I have a Draco in hand now, but I just noticed the receiver seems slightly twisted. Is that fixable, or do I need to give Century a call?
  9. I had the opportunity to shoot a straight-pull action "cadet" version of the British SA-80. Field stripping it was hazardous, because unless you were careful, the guide rod and recoil spring assembly would come flying out and smack you in the face. Or your buddy's face. It had a cheap plastic door that had no use on the straight pull action, but housed the gas system on select-fire models, and it would flop open and shut on its own due to recoil. Also, the bolt handle mechanism was on a shoddy track running on the side of the rifle, and was a pain in the butt to reassemble. That being said
  10. Should I try to get this AK pistol: for potential SBR conversion? It looks like a good deal, but is this a good route to go to make my own SBR?
  11. Looks like the video has disappeared from YouTube. I wonder if the Black Helicopters got to her?
  12. It's all good. Looks like we just had a failure to communicate. Happens on teh interwebz.
  13. I call BS. They all easily had 3 days advance notice of Katrina before it hit. I should know, I worked for a cable company that operates that entire Mississippi coastline and we were getting ready for it days before it hit landfall. ALL of our employees in that area were evac'd and our offices secured 24hours before landfall. He failed completely to respond to the coming threat and it cost hundreds of lives. Uh, could you please calm down? I think we agree with each other 100% here. By saying Nagin was caught with his pants down, that is precisely what I meant, and I was contrasti
  14. Okay how about this for debunking? The first doses of swine flu vaccine are being delivered through a nasal spray. RFID technology just isn't small enough to be sprayed into somebody's nose without them noticing. I should know, I work in the semiconductor industry. Plus if the nano-RFID technology did exist, and it was capable of being sprayed into somebody's nose, it would in all likelihood not be there anymore after 24 hours, either due to having been sneezed out or having passed into the throat and passing out the digestive tract. It just doesn't hold water. Not only that, but RF
  15. Just took the plunge a few days back. Now the wait to have my name in orange.
  16. Russia is the birthplace of businesses that are "too big to fail". Izhmash will continue to exist in one way or another, mark my words. You know since the massive order the US made of Izhmash to arm the afghan government, and we know they can't get Saiga's in-country quickly enough, I wonder where all their money is going?
  17. Bvamp, keep in mind, Safari is the default browser sold with macintosh laptops and desktops, too.
  18. +1 on IZHMASH logo hat Also want anything with the new forum logo on it.
  19. So I fired up the forum on my iPhone for the first time since the update, and it automatically gave me a low graphics screen that was very legible and loaded quickly!! Fantastic work Makc!
  20. Well, Diavolo is gone. It wasn't by midnight the 11th, but at some point his section of the forum and his ads seem to have disappeared. Of course on the saiga-12.com site, it is visible still, but the graphic links to nowhere. I'm not going to give $100, but as soon as the functionality has been restored, I am still going to become a contributing member of the forum, because I am pleased that this has finally been resolved, and out of gratitude for the good info I've gained from this forum. Thank you, Max.
  21. I wish it were easier to tell the difference between the stickied threads and the "regular" threads. I really like the IZHMASH style new logo. Can I get that on a T-Shirt, Juggs?
  22. I always double up with ORANGE tapered foamies and my red mickey ears from wally world. The yellow foam EAR plugs are too short, and they wind up stuck in my ear canals too easily. Then people really look at me funny when I grab the needle nose pliers to pull them out. The orange ones have the added benefit of really cleaning the wax out of my ears. Much more so than the yellow ones.
