  1. Primer identations

    in Saiga 7.62 X 39

    Posted

    Hey all, I know its been a while since ive posted, but the saiga is just running so strong! At least, until now. I was showing it to a friend of mine and he noticed something.... Rounds that have sat in the chamber have a pretty decent indentation on the primer from the firing pin. If i just chamber it, then eject it the indentation is not so deep, but it is still there. RIght now I am a little worried as this seems to be a safety issue. is this normal? I can see the gun having light marks on the primers form chambering a round as the firing pin is free floating, but the deeper ones (sorry no pics, not at a place I can take and load them for the next couple weeks). do I need to worry about it going off when I chamber a round? or if I dropped the gun?

  3. 7 shots from a .50 cal Deesert Eagle

    each individual animal can take any amount of killing. I shot a doe last weekend with a .303 brit. WHen i cleaned it, all the chest was jelly, and yet it ran about 80 yards. My brother shot a squirrel through the chest once with a broadhead and it ran all the way up the tree with the arrow sticking through it. I had enough time to walk back to the house and grab a .22 and walk back to shoot it and kill it. It had not died in 10 minutes. Moral of the story is, you never know how much moxie an animal, or person for that matter, will have. Pigs in florida are pretty much shoot on sight and no one cares how its done. No one wants stuff to suffer, but it happens- you are killing it. A lot of people just dump their bodies b/c there are so many of them and they are such a pest. Also, if you always used to best tool for the job, there would be no bowhunting. Hunting with a pistol is a different challenge to a hunter. Not passing any judgement, but around here the guy would have been slapped on the back and maybe ribbed about using that many shots while everyone was laughing. Animals dont always die quickly. Its contract was signed, it was just a matter of time after the first one or two.

  5. How does handgaurd go on?

    in Saiga 7.62 X 39

    So i just bought the AK-404BUS US made upper and handgaurds for stamped reciever from K-Var and upon inspection it looks as though it wont go on my saiga and I ordered the wrong one. Or I didnt order something else it needs. Or whatever. Maybe IM missing something. Can anyone tell me how the heck these things are supposed to go on?

  8. Thinking about a Taurus PT740

    I like mine. Its carries concealed well, a little snappy to shoot. Never had a failure with mine, knock on wood. Im just having a hard time finding magazines for mine. The dealer I bought mine from said he could order some from the company, about $35 or so. There are no extended mags right now. but I would definitely recommend it.

    I just Googled too, and didn't find much either.

     

    I even checked the official Taurus website........and they don't even have the mags listed. :unsure: The gun itself is still marked as "new". How long has it been out?

     

    I've never personally dealt with this vendor, but they have them: http://www.discountgunstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_3_18&products_id=61001 Seems pricey, but then again, I'm only familiar with Glock mags.

     

    Or maybe you could find a local dealer who can order some mags for you? http://www.taurususa.com/find-dealer.cfm

     

    I tried "Taurus 740", "Taurus 740 mag" and "Taurus 740 magazine" on Gunbroker, and all it gave me was auctions for the guns themselves. No individual mags. :unsure:

    THank you, but that doesnt look like the mags i do have. well, it was worth a shot. thanks for looking. :)

  18. Test firing at home? Any ideas?

    ASSUMING you have a safe backdrop... I heard someone say something about this before:

     

    Using old tires to make a sort of tube, the report of a shot can be lowered. In effect, they are supposed to act like a silencer does: expansion chambers and baffles. But, since it does not attach to the gun and all, it is legal. i have never tried, so i cannot attest to the effectiveness. fwiw...

  20. Your choice for HD

    Both a .223 and a 20 ga have reliable stopping power for self defense. I dont think body armor is that relevant to your decision, not b/c it doesnt exist, but b/c a hit with either of those guns should cause the bg some serious contemplation, and if you keep shooting until the threat is "stopped", you can always adjust your aim, right? I think the main issues are: what are you most comfortable with and which would you rather defend against a jury? I am by no means claiming ANY expertise, this is just my 2cents. any gun can go through walls, so instead of modifying your gun/ammo choice to combat that problem and letting murphey play around, figure out your shooting lanes...? training>equiptment, right?
