  1. Who would have known these things would appreciate that much!
  2. I bought 2 rifles a while back - around $400 each unconverted. I converted them....and of course Obummer banned them from import. I knew the prices would go up, and they did. But they came back down. I went to check on the market-place because Century Arms is having an auction for one on their web page - their auction is up to $1500 already for a converted Saiga! I went to gunbroker and looked - they are all pretty much around that price range. DAMN! I thought with Trump in office prices would come back down - I guess not!
  3. The problem with that nice machining job is quantity. How many of these things can they crank out with machining like that? That's why Mother Russia was able to pump these things out left and right - not A+ quality like you see above. Also makes me wonder if the prices will be higher considering that better build quality as well.
  4. Have one - love it! Want to get the compact model, someday!
  5. I wish more manufacturers made brakes in 24.5 threads versus 14.1. The options for us are more limited!!!
  6. I thought that Magpul was going to release a steel reinforced version of this mag? I don't see anything on their web site that indicates that.
  7. - YHM and CNC Warrior 4 piece win here - YHM again
  8. That may require reading the threads completely Hey AssJacks - I did read those threads. There was only a few BRIEF mentions as to which specific brands may be impacted. Why not have a comprehensive listing?
  9. What they NEED to do is open a full scale wolf type ammo plant here in the states, cranking out 7.62 and 5.56, and REFUSE to take government contracts! That will bring the ammo back to the people, and bring prices back down!!
  10. When the hell are the mags going to be available?
  11. You guys will all LOVE this web site: http://www.rcdon.com/html/experimental_projects.html
  12. 66 views and no replies. This has the potential to DIRECTLY IMPACT EVERYONE ON THIS SITE! Obummer is eyeing banning the importation of foreign ammo and arms - such as SAIGA and RUSSIAN AMMO! Why the hell is no one paying attention here!?
  13. The Importation of Defense Articles and Defense Services — U.S. Munitions Import List references executive orders, amends ATF regulations and clarifies Attorney General authority “to designate defense articles and defense services as part of the statutory USML for purposes of permanent import controls,” among other clauses specified in heavy legalese requiring commensurate analysis to identify just what the administration’s intentions are. Among the speculations of what this could enable are concerns that importing and International Traffic in Arms Regulations [iTAR] may go forward to reflect
  14. From what I've seen - these appear to be PP-19 Bizon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PP-19_Bizon Very interesting!
  15. I've also stashed some away, just want to acquire more, in case the feds decide to tax it or make internet orders illegal.
  16. Besides gun broker, anyone know where to obtain this mythical ammo??
  17. Don't solely blame them. Their supplier quite possibly raised their prices.
  18. Will do - and I'll do you one better, I'll video my test. The fact remains though - these mags are cheaper yet more durable than tapco's, promags, or other polymer mags - especially what I paid. As others have noted, they are now going for $36 a piece. Price isn't indicative of quality - but all things considered, not a bad deal at $13 a piece in the current potential ban situation.
  19. The drop test is next - don't have any ammo yet (all packed away in storage due to in between houses). They lockup in the rifle without issue.
  20. I asked a question similar to this earlier that got ignored. Looking at the block, it appears the drill bit walked, which is why the hole is sloppy. I saw a thread on AR15 where a guy used a mill bit from a dremel to flatten out the barrel to prevent the bit from walking. Kudos for the bearing puller idea - that is good.
  21. Doubt that - they are made out of steel, not aluminum. Also considering that most mags are around $20+ now, I consider these a good deal. Good luck finding basically anything right now - all online venues are out unless you want to pay about $40 a mag.
