  1. He'd have been fully justified breaking that cunt's face. Stand your ground state - and she went after him.
  2. Hopefully as a "firearm" and not a rifle - but there's no way for me to know for sure.
  3. Two reasons - 922r compliance and keeping my barrel threads. 922r compliance doesn't apply to handguns. It does apply to rifles. Compliance parts for vz. 58 rifles are a little pricey. I don't have shit for money right now - I do have an offer to semi-permanently borrow an AR not-a-stock from the same buddy who has my vz. 61 on semi-permanent loan. That leaves $50+ship for the AR adapter, plus the cost of the trigger guard rivets, my only expenses for the build. I have another deal I have to complete before I start buying stuff for this build, so it's still going to be at least a month or two
  4. I've already taken that into consideration - but thanks for the reminder! The story I got is that he got it from ORF, and never obtained a kit to build on it. The kits were maybe 50 or 100 bucks when he got the receiver, but he dawdled and now they're damn near 300 so he doesn't want to fuck with it when an assembled rifle is 400 from Century. I intend to inspect the threads in the rear of the receiver, but the guy seems legit and I have no reason to believe it's ever been built or even had a stock attached. I'm mostly concerned with the classification of the firearm after it is built on the
  5. I've heard that rumor, but haven't seen it confirmed yet. Do you have a source?
  6. I'm thinking about building a vz. 58 using the original 15.5 inch barrel, and no stock. Would the resulting firearm be a handgun, or a "firearm"? I believe the overall length would be less than 26" Also - I would like to attach an AR stock adapter and wrist brace. The resulting firearm would be more than 26" in overall length, with a barrel less than 16". Would this change the classification? I'm looking to get preliminary opinions here - I intend to follow up, likely with a letter to the tech branch, before proceeding. I've had parts laying around for ages that I've never gotten around to
  7. I think you've gotten a lot of helpful suggestions here - muzzle brakes, recoil-reducing stocks, and recoil pads. Now you just need to hunt with a 20-round drum - once you hang all that shit on your shotgun, it'll weigh so much there will hardly be any recoil.
  8. Pretty sure psych professionals already prescribe that - it's called Klonopin.
  9. They look really nice. I like the look of underfolders, but always end up having problems with them in use, mostly because the cheek weld sucks. I'd like an M92 SBR eventually, but it's down the list. Side folders and fixed stocks are fine by me. Even the Romy wire folders suck without a cheek riser. Only rifle I have one on is a WASR-22.
  10. I've never really understood that crap. "Oh, it's not even through its break-in period? Bummer, I'll find another rifle." Especially on a fucking AK - come on, it's an AK. Unless you are extremely wealthy or use corrosive ammo without cleaning, you are NEVER going to wear it out. Case in point - this post-sample Maadi one of the local C3 guys had for ages - that thing had tens of thousands of rounds through it. The barrel had never been replaced, and didn't look worn at all. All the contact surfaces on the bolt, carrier and BCG were worn smooth as glass, but the barrel was fine. It had actual
  11. JESS - Caps lock is still considered yelling on the internet. In most modern browsers, if you hold down Ctrl and spin your mousewheel in, everything will get bigger and then you don't need to yell to read your own text. I'm curious what you had to say, but that shit hurts my eyes.
  12. Pretty sure the Russian army doesn't use 9x19. Since it's 123-grain FMJ, I would assume when they say "mil-spec" they actually mean NATO spec - but that's 124 grains, so they done fucked up.
  13. Yes, it's fixable. Tom Cole is in your region - and he works on a lot of Saigas.
  14. ^ Additional confirmation on what Mullet Man said. The guy who did this clearly doesn't have experience converting Saigas.
  15. I completely agree. The market seems well supplied with plenty of options in that size of mag. I really hope we don't end up with like 6 round "poodle's nut sack" DS mags. Agree, I wouldn't buy 8 round DS. 5 round mags look to short anyway, I need something to compliment the size of my manhood. SGM has you covered. http://www.mississippiautoarms.com/saiga-12-gauge-2-round-magazine-sgm-tactical-surefire-p-437.html
  16. You may need to use a fair amount of force - just make sure the lever is in the correct position first. Sometimes it can be a pain in the ass to rotate the lever over the lip of the rear of the gas tube even when the tube is placed correctly. If you need additional leverage, the tube from a standard AK cleaning kit can help.
  17. I used something similar a while back on a select-fire AK one of the local Class III guys had. This one had a rubber "accordion" piece stretched across the moving parts. It didn't really do shit that seemed positive. It changed the recoil, but didn't effectively reduce it. It reduced accuracy and made for a weird pulsing feeling.
  18. High upfront costs require economies of scale to bring the price down. Even a basic comprehension of economics, or even math, should tell you that. Cost of manufacture is not the only factor, by far. R&D and startup costs have to be covered. That means they get added to the cost of the finished product. If you spend, say, $25,000 starting production - you need to make that money back, and that means charging well above cost for each magazine. With a niche product like a magazine that only fits one rifle of which maybe a few thousand have been imported - that means a substantial bump in p
  19. Honestly, if you were going for simple pest control and were taking out a sizable population of wild pigs, an AK in 7.62x39 would be my choice. Ammo's cheap, and definitely sufficient to take out even big boars at short to medium range.
  20. Another vote for .308. Devastating at close range, still extremely effective at long range.
  21. You would definitely need to expand the magazine well to make the L-26 mag fit. If I could find a smith who was confident it could be done, I wouldn't hesitate. A flatback Vepr 54R that accepted 20-round L26 mags would definitely qualify as a dream gun for me.
