Of what? Overpriced and unreliable AKs? US so far has the worst track record as far as reliability of any mass-produced AKs. Look at Waffen Screws ... BHA... and the list goes on. Out of spec recievers, barrels, crap metal etc. etc. Corners cut everywhere. I do not know what it is about the AK building in US but they mostly turn into crap (over-thinking, "improving" it? who knows) or cost an arm and a leg. While it looks like cave-dwelling Pakistani Taliban can make a functional AK out of a shovel and it works...go figure. Not holding my breath for a QUALITY and CHEAP($300-500) USA AK lik

2015 ford mustang
HappYBallZ replied to EthanM's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
I don't know... It kinda grew on me after couple of days. It does have side view of older Tiburon plus front of a new Jag and that is not a bad thing to me. not too enthusiastic about the rear look but it is not terrible. The biggest improvement is definitely interior and addition of I4 turbo engine and maybe suspension but that is yet to be reviewed. I am not a big domestic fan with their usually boring exteriors but I would probably drive it... if it also had a hatch instead of the trunk. Much more useful with a hatch! Seems like Ford is trying to reach out to new crowds... baby boom -
US-made Saigas possible?
HappYBallZ replied to SgtRaven's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
AA's Origin-12 is my guess. But at "Retail Price will be $2,600.00." I will definitely pass. And that is for a totally unknown and untested platform that just looks "cool" and does not offer much of anything other than some modularity while at the same time making it absolutely proprietary . -

I was mostly talking about US made receivers... good recent example would be Waffen Works with their own new production receivers -worked much better before they stopped using NoDak Spuds (even they took years to make their receivers mostly problem-free and consistent). And that is "just" stamping sheet metal in to shape...imagine they try to produce bolt carriers and bolts... yeah no thanks. I will still stay by my statement that just about any critical part of the gun that was attempted to be made-in-masses in US so-far turned out to be expensive and either junk or at best very inconsist -

Yeah... so far most of "USA quality" AKs that I seen were below Pakistani cave-quality as far as reliability. Everyone loves to talk smack and joke about vodka specials and all that but realistically absolutely no one made a mass-produced, quality and reliable AK in USA for the same price-point yet (from "scratch"). -
Polish Tantal Questions
HappYBallZ replied to breid1970's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Canted sights are mostly Romanian factory build quality problems (WASR) ... as far as I know any WASR are unmolested with exception of compliance parts(and mag well widening on some for double stack mags)... CAI (and whoever they hire for builds) can mess stuff up but they do get a lot of flak for stuff that was not even their fault. I just ordered a Tantal from J&G ... will report when I get it in my hands. ARs are the same story... could be shit or could be awesome, really depends on the manufacturer and luck. Why get rid of Saiga anyway? -

Be weary of Waffen Werks now... multiple people reporting serious issues with them. Check out AKfiles.com forum for details. -

HappYBallZ replied to breid1970's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Just food for thought ... J&G just had CAI Tantals for $499. So I would say this would be a on-the-fence deal for me; it would greatly depend on condition and such. -

These were not bad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJj1YKeZLGM -
I have not. But I hear it is pretty decent ammo, albeit with limited reloading capability (people usually claim to get 3-5 reloads out of them) But my PalmettoSA and DanielD eat any Russian steel ammo just like my AKs. In-fact I would get rid of any AR that does not eat it (thank god it has not happened yet)... sooo much cheaper in the long run. I can buy 2 barrels, replace wear & tear parts and more ammo shooting steel cased stuff instead of just buying same amount of brass.

Thanks; this should really enrage people ... just looking solely at the cost of their new proposed NFA "safety" process... it is insane. Everyone needs to be up in arms and emailing/calling the douche-bag politicians ... if no stink is risen over this, it might slip through. NFATCA fucked it all up for us BIG time.

Burglars hit sheriff's home
HappYBallZ replied to vulcan16's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Apparently his deputies are too busy doing escort missions instead of guarding his home... Sounds like a douche bag from the interview, yakdung. -
Do you have any pictures to share of your projects? Especially the more unusual colored ones. I looked-up Intarsia examples... they look pretty cool, and seems to be a lot of work. I have no idea what wood these things are made out of ... looks very light. Maybe pine? Haha ... not a big fan of ligther "blonde" colors, maybe because I have not seen one that was done well. Sounds like a butt load of work! So only sand it so you are left with dark-stained "veins" and then stain the naked wood + 2-3 coats of poly? Yeah, I definitely want to try and keep

I got couple of unfinished "firewood-quality" stocks from the Centerfire's Veprs and wanted to experiment with doing some unusual colors... So I browsed around for awhile and mostly found kinda bland shades and nothing that really "pops" to the eye, or finishes that would be too smothering and covering up the grain; then I found these Craftsman's Blend by JW etc. stains: I think Midnight Blue, Teal Blue, Caribbean Blue with deep gloss to semi-gloss finish might look pretty good. I am a fan of deep candy-like finishes and darker shades/colors so I would definitely try Chia

XM806
HappYBallZ replied to rastamanila's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Interesting ... but looks like it still was canceled in favor of M2A1. Still pretty heavy, I would hate to lug that thing around + ammo. Says it has slower firing rate than M2, but a least supposedly the head-spacing is fixed. M2s were notorious to run like shit if not cycled/timed and head-spaced right. Many videos in Afghanistan with guys having to tug the charging handle every couple of rounds. Any info why it was canceled? -
So as long as it's somebody you don't like, fuck their rights? I am always amazed at the "freedom lovers" who cheer when the rights of others are infringed. +1 People don't seem to get that today it is them(hippies or whoever) and next day it is you. Whoever approved this dumb-ass raid needs to pay personally for emotional suffering and business damages... not the tax payers! Until it will start hitting them in the wallets personally they will not stop these "weed" raids with no clear information.

I also heard from my friend's mother's uncle's daughter's friend's brother that you can get internet AIDS if you got on Russian gun websites! Crazy coincidence? I think not! In all seriousness ... tell him to reduce his visits to porn sites. Once in a while you will get one loaded with injectors. soviet-military.com is good ... ordered stuff before from him/them. Not sure what the deal is with gun parts though... did you try emailing him?
