About 7 million in the state, dunno how many are eligible voters as that number includes children and disenfranchised persons. 1.3 million seems like damn good turnout.

Shouldn't have been many, since it wasn't his invention. He copied the filament designs of others.

I've actually never seen a single-wire AK hammer spring.

Absurdity. Any chance Washington's courts will strike some of it down?

The feds still consider marijuana users prohibited persons.

Well, if you want to imitate the action of rounds feeding and polishing the ramp, to ensure you don't fuck anything up, you could do something pretty absurd and time-consuming. Buy some dies, lube your cases well, and load a mag's worth of dummy rounds. Hand cycle by letting the carrier fly forward each time. Reload the mag and go again. Do this until you've cycled the action a few thousand times. Much cheaper than burning the ammo.

Cracked bolts in an AK platform are pretty unusual. I've seen an AK with so many rounds down the pipe that the contact surfaces on the bolt/carrier and FCG were smooth as glass, and the body of the bolt was still good to go.

Semi-literacy is the norm.

I think most people offer to rent them out, charging a fee because the dies do take wear as they're used.

Not on a Saiga specifically, but I've dropped a different BCG in a 7.62x39 AK without any issues - before I knew enough about firearms and didn't know headspacing was a thing. If you're lucky when replacing a bolt, you won't have to mess with pressing the barrel in or out. If you would need to press the barrel further out, you can just grind the lugs on the bolt down a little bit. Pretty sure in the factory that's how headspacing is done - make the bolts with slightly over-large lugs, grind them for final headspacing. If you get a new replacement bolt, presumably the lugs will not be ground.

^^^ Posters above have pretty much covered it. I used to be a lot more paranoid about corrosively-primed ammunition. There are still some weapons I prefer not to fire it in, because the gas systems are a pain in the ass to disassemble and clean. Unfortunately the SVT-40 is one of those. Just a little too much of a pain in the ass. The vz. 52 is another. But an AK, SKS, Mosin or Mauser - meh. Rinse the salts away, dry, displace any remaining water with oil, solved.

In the grand scheme of things, the energy of a hydrogen bomb isn't much. The idea of human beings at our current evolutionary level as an interstellar species is laughable. That "uplifting" would be way more likely to be "quarantining" as in, keep the Terran viruses on their home rockball. I think if there is intelligent interstellar life out there, it is less likely that it is comprised of naturally evolved species, and way more likely that species at a similar evolutionary level to our own figured out how to engineer something better that subsequently supplanted them. For us, that's likely

It's hard to tell with certainty from pics, but I don't see anything that looks out of the ordinary. That patch that looks scuffed just looks like the patch that was scuffed on my 1911, presumably from contact with the inside of the slide during firing.

Yeah, I'd be pretty fucking pissed. Stay civil and demand they make that shit super right. Don't be satisfied speaking to the first person who speaks on the phone - insist on going up a level or two. This kind of shit is something their legal department would probably want to know about.

Pics would definitely help. Have you stripped it down to inspect the barrel by itself?

Depends on barrel length and any practical application you have for it. If it's a rifle length barrel, and the price is decent, I'd probably go for it - or if it's shorter and you have an SBR lower. But your ammo budget also comes into play. Like all those big-bore rounds, it's great for reloaders and guys with a lot of money - sorta shitty for those who can't afford to buy a lot of expensive new ammo and don't have reloading equipment and experience. Bullet selection is pretty decent in .458.

You might want to re-read the article, including the date it was published. That was in March, and it was a scare about Russia cutting off exports to us - which would have been stupid, not something they'd have any reason to do. The US ban on importing certain Russian imports - including most firearms and ammunition - is very real.

In my experience, paperwork for interstate travel is completely shall-issue - you just tell nanny where you're going and what states you'll be passing through and you get your permission slip. I have no idea what the 3-gun rules are like, as I've only participated in one match in my life, and it was pretty poorly run - not sure which organization it was under, and they didn't seem to give a shit about much, including safety. I have seen videos of NFA stuff used in 3-gun matches, but never a short-barreled shotgun. I've seen suppressors on rifles and at least one SBR.

That's a great price, snag it. The low slide is a little goofy, it's because the slide runs on internal rails instead of external rails - the channels are cut into the outside of the slide rather than the inside. Allows for a pretty slim slide.

if your mangina hurts you could use a pad... but saigas dont recoil mcuh, at least with the light loads... this is a yugo stock http://www.armslist.com/posts/3324440/wichita-kansas-shotguns-for-sale-trade--underfolder-saiga-12--tuned A saiga is an auto...much less recoil This is a VERY light weight bolt action with a crap stock. That thing is going to shred his shoulder. If he's extremely lucky that's the worst thing that will happen when he pulls the trigger. Hopefully he thinks to start with blanks or those little mini-shells.

Send it to Shannon.

If you have the money to litigate.

If you want to build something relatively safe that will fire a 12-gauge shell from a pipe using crap found at a hardware store, there are pretty good instructions in the old Army improvised weapons manuals from the 60's.

If I thought that shit would actually help, I'd agree. Building a wall ensures people find a way around it. Instead of a wall, it would be a lot more cost-effective, and in my opinion more effective, to build a series of surveillance towers and border patrol stations. With a relatively inexpensive 80-foot steel tower mounted with some very expensive surveillance equipment every 4-5 miles, and a small border patrol station manned by interception teams at least every 30 miles, you could have damned good coverage of attempts at surface border crossings, and in most places a response time of under
