i use garden secatares for trimming off the sprew, it makes a nice close cut with no sharp bits. -

Great video, i bet he has a bit of a flinch now! -
Bullets slightly loose, is that okay?
second shooter replied to into_the_knight's topic in Saiga .223
this is certianly not common or desirable. if the projectiles are coming loose after being hand cycled through the weapon it may be the new feed ramp is not directing them into the chamber smoothly? if its doing this on every round something is wrong. if it just because these have been cycled through many times during testing its not so bad. to play it safe toss them but if they are your last few rounds and zombies are coming throught the door i would risk it! -
Maybe there should be an ugliest saiga 12 topic started? this one will be hard to beat , there are a few with every kind of bolt on scope lazer torch thingy that money can buy that are stupid ugly and with a little paint could come close!

I have a ruger pc9 carbine, its a well made but heavy little gun, not overly powerful but all the same plenty of fun out to about 75 yards. i had a ruger p85 pistol and the mags were interchangable. i didnt realy get on with the pistol but the carbine is still in the safe and one of my favourites. if you can find one grab it, also i have heard the .40 cal version is quite a bit more powerful, maybe something to think about?

proabably has to do his own laundry as you cant take your mum to war, washed the red shirt with white boxers, next thing the whole world thinks you are into pink combat gear. would make a great add for a company who makes colour fast laundry powder! -
Less Lethal stuff I saw and want to recreate.
second shooter replied to Twinsen's topic in Reloading and Ammunition
its seems crazy that you cant take a less lethal approach when defending yourself from criminals? not all people who want to harm you will have a gun! is their any reason why less lethal ammo is so dangerous when you get caught using it? -
Adding specific thicknesses of anything to a cartridge tells you nothing, because you have no idea what dimension you are starting from. While certainly not ideal, adding a known thickness of material to a go gauge would at least give you a pretty good indication of where you are. Keep in mind that the difference between a 7.62x39 go (safe) and a no-go (not safe) is only 6 one thousandths of an inch (.006) An unfired cartridge is anywhere within that .006 tolerance. I have no idea how dykem is going to tell you anything. you do get a specific measurement if you do your first test us

Hi, i have only used proper headspace gauges but i have heard that cigarette rolling papers work well in conjunction with an empty shell case. you cut them to fit across the base of the shell (i guess start off with a fair few?) chamber the shell with the papers between the bolt face and case(do this on a gun with known correct headspace) add or remove papers untill the bolt will just lock over the case and papers, count the number of papers. repeat this with your selection of bolt heads and hopefully you find one that is close to what you want,use a fired case so you dont end up with a nasty

I reload my own slugs ( made with both lee and lyman molds) they sit in a regular plastic shot wad and never leave any lead build up in the bore and i have fired over a thousand in my mossberg and i stoke them up fairly fast too! make your own or buy ones that have a plastic wad and you never have to worry about it.

Letter of Apology
second shooter replied to rwsackett's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
firstly ,Getting back to those 72 virgins, do they get western hot blond stripper types or dirty hairy fat chicks that are so ugly they have to cover their faces with a scarf? secondly . why dont we get virgins when we die? -
I got a 20 inch saiga m3 it looked so rude i had to cut it down to 11inch, also we cant get ar15 carbines here for under 5 grand so this is the next best thing at only $600. accuracy is still fine out to 100m i wish i had access to all the guns you guys do!

Hi, the missing and broken parts will have to be replaced, the easiest way to put it back togather is remove a triggermech unit from another mossberg shotgun(but dont strip it down) and it will be better than looking at a drawing for seeing where the bits go. also the internet has all sorts of info , you may get lucky there? good luck!

Saiga 12 Tactics and Techniques: Combat Reloads
second shooter replied to ManOnFire's topic in Saiga-12
Hi Mikel, do you have any more info on those whistler rounds?, can they be made up or are they a factory bought round ? sounds interesting and might scare the opposition at the 3 gun comp. -
Pics Please. Also where do you get the lead from(cheap)?
-
i will try and get a picture up later today, i buy my lead from the scrap metel yard, it costs very little but it varies in quality, i usually melt down a big batch at a time so 6 months worth of shot is all the same weight. i use an old potbelly stove and a large crucible it seems to be better than a gas ring for large quantities.

I got 2 00 buck molds from this guy about ayear ago, they work well , he posted them to new zealand for me, great product and its saving me heaps of money! once the mold is up to temperature it casts excellent shot, you have to spend a bit of time cutting the balls off as they come in strips and there is a fair bit of lead waste but it all goes back in the pot to be re used.
