  1. When I did my conversion a few months back I got a UTG Combat Pad for Dinzag, and man is that thing hard as a rock. Anybody else own one of these and have the same problem? I've heard other brands of Grenade launcher style recoil pad being a lot softer. Is there some trick to soften it up or should I just get a new one?

    I bought a grenade launcher style recoil pad for my Romanian folder, and it is nice and soft and cushy without being "squeezy". It was $16 bucks. I don't remember where I bought it. it was from an AK place online. It had a cheap velcro strap, but I had to end up zip-tying it on to hold it in place.

  2. The first person that comes up with a butt/recoil pad with gel - like those bicycle seat deals or the shoe inserts, except with a gel and holding system that can absorb the recoil will be a millionaire. Unless that is what the Limbsavers do, then you will be just stealing their design (I have no clue what they utilize - but it ain't $65 dollars worth of rubber) Fucking tires don't cost much more than that. I don't know, but hard or even soft rubber just don't cut it. There is no excuse in this day and age with all the tennis shoe people making all kinds of rebound, absorbing shit, why we should have to put up with a piece of hard rubber. And it will be made in China, so there is no reason we should have to pay 100 bucks for a piece of Chinese hard rubber - or even a new improved piece of hard rubber. It really should be simple and cheap. Shouldn't have to pay 1/10th the cost of the gun for a decent alternative. Limbsavers $65? that's just stupid. Instead of all these new people wanting to make a killing on rails and mall ninja stuff, why don't they consider the simple, lowly recoil pad. Make millions one buck at a time.

  3. By the way, don't know it it's "right or wrong" I use silicone spray, and let it dry before assembling the gas plug and tube, Seems to help cleaning the plug (and ports) easier, and I always use a dab of anti-sieze on the adjustment knob threads.It works for me. YMMV. It is amazing how much crud can build up in the tube, and on the piston. And equally amazing how much easier it is to clean them when I started using the silicone spray and anti-sieze. Does it matter or help if you shoot a couple of high brass loads after a day of shooting low brass Wally world stuff to help clean it out? Just curious.

  4. Probably going to get flamed by the "it was made to run dirty" guys, but here goes. What is your primary use for the weapon? Just to shoot and have fun with once in awhile? Protect yourself? Impress your buddies? Consider, it didn't come from the factory plugged with plastic wadding and carbon, mud and stuck gas plugs, so maybe they never intended it to be left that way. Would you buy a new Vette or Viper or GT500 and just change the filter every 100,000 miles and add another quart of oil? How impressed are your friends going to be when you pull it out and it won't cycle until you clean it? How impressed is the burglar/intruder going to be when you pull it out and it won't cycle? No machine is ever designed to be 100% functional while dirty - it just isn't possible. Sometime, somewhere when you least expect or want it, the shit will fail. Why take that chance? Bragging rights? Lazziness? Stupidity? Who knows. Only you can answer that question. I scrub mine down and clean it flawlessly and grease and oil it until it's next outing. I don't know when I might need it or depend on it and am not willing to take the chance that my stupidity played a part in it. Rabid chihauhas might attack and bite my ankles, and my boom stick doesn't work. My bad.

     

    Well, neither of mine have ever ran flawlessly until the puck got a bit of carbon on it to help it seal up, sooo, after THOUSANDS of rounds of testing, I clean the gas block, inspect the receiver, bcg, fcg, and bolt but I leave the crud on the puck. Since I've been doing that it's never failed to go bang once, even with Win Uni.

     

    Basically, to answer your question, yes, I trust it. I also trust the wife's Sig P238, her double-barrel 12 gauge, my Colt 1911, and my S&W Sigma .40. Yes, all are loaded and at the ready every night along with the S-12 and many of them have white lights or night sights on them. If you trust only one weapon for HD, then you are doing it WRONG! :devil:

    You are SO right! Nothing like having a backup for your backup, lol! In every room of the house.

  5. Just ordered a bayonet adapter and suppressor/muzzle brake from Dinzag Arms. Will the addition of a USA made Ontario Knife Co. M9 bayonet count as one 922 compliance part? lol.

     

    Nope. It didn't come with it, so it's not a countable 922r part.

    I was just joking, but it IS a made in the US Bayo! And a damn nice one at that. (they actually make us gov stuff, under contract - so it had better be good)

  6. Are they outlawed or something? A couple of years ago - not even that long ago, they were all over. Now you can't find them anywhere. Or, I should say I can't. Why? Anyone have any links or sources? Lever type, not pushbutton. Even on gunbrokers, there is one, but it is welded open. There is an east German type, but I want the Romanian one. Please help. Thanks. What gives?

  7. I have the best cheek rest available for the DPH stock.... IMO. Of course that's just my own idea for one, and my own opinion.

    BTW it also works great with the Ace, the AK-100 side folder, and it should work with the MAA stock, just don't have one here to test it on.

    The prototype is finally done, and I'll have them in stock and shipping soon. I'll post pics and prices in my business section soon.

    Sure, NOW you say something right after I just put an order in and got basically the only one on the market today. Thanks for the heads up, lol.

  8. Coolest house of all time, google Cave House. Located in Festus MO. Used to be a skating rink, then an arena for Rock bands and stuff. Located in the middle of the town, with a canyon view, walk up and you are down town. You will not find a cooler house in all of the USA. It is fantastic. It was EBay for awhile, don't know if it sold or not. Just damn killer. Tina Turner and even Ted Nugent played there. It fucking rocks. Someone who knows how - please post links/pics.

  9. Concrete and steel would seem to be cheaper than wood in the long run. How expensive is sand and gravel? Rebar isn't terribly expensive either. Imagine the fire safety, disaster safety, storms.. zombies...

     

    DUDE! That's where I'm a viking! (in the wise words of Ralph Wiggum). Went to college for awhile for architectural CAD and the professors could never understand why I refused to build homes out of wood. The advances in concrete work are NUTS! I helped build an under ground dome home out in CO and have got to say that's my dream home!

    In MI of course....with an attached light house....and an attached greenhouse...and hanger...and a OK, OK I'll stop :lolol:

    Got any links or pics? Domme houses have always been my favorites since I was a kid, and when I was an adult, they were they only houses left standing in Galveston after a Hurricane - nothing for the wind to catch on.

  12. Great price To The Floor! I did my first conversion on mine a couple of years ago, and it didn't take anytime at all. Haven't painted it up pretty, and may not. I like it the way it is. I bought my 2nd S12 a year ago or so, it's still in the box. I just pulled the trigger, so to speak and ordered a few things to get the conversion started, and have already spent as much as the initial purchase. This one will be pretty and painted though, lol. Don't be afraid to hit it with a hammer. Don't be surprised if the hammer just bounces back and whacks you back in the head! lol Good luck! Take your time and do it right and enjoy it. The possibilities of how to build it are endless, look at lot's of pics here, and come up with your own unique design.

  13. I always use anti seize. I also use silicone spray for cleaning. Spray liberaly and let sit. Spray again and everything just falls off. Way cheaper than gun cleaner solvents. It really does work. Spray and use a brush for the barrel and the gas tube. I use a tornado brush for the barrel., a nylon brush for the gas tube. Hose down again when all the crap is out. Antisieze on the threads, and fishing reel grease on the slides inside the body where contact is made with the bolt carrier and stuff. May not work for everyone, and some may disagree, but it really does the shit. It holds up and lasts longer than anything else. I clean my gun after every shooting session. Spray oil with teflon and all that BS doesn't even come close to keeping mine lubed, I've found. Even tried spraying it in the gun between shooting, while out at the range - it's a joke. It's a gimmick. Grease on the rails is the only way to go. Must clean often, though. Anti-sieze helps you out a lot. Don't believe me? next time you are at wallyworld or your fav parts store, buy a couple cans of cheap silicone spray and try it yourself. If you don't like the results, re-clean with your fav high priced cleaner. I'd almost bet the silicone will do a better job, and will keep stuff from sticking in the future.

  14. I was using a King Armory gas puck in mine, and shot 345 rounds through it with no problem. Flawless. Fast fire, drum dumps, plinking. Mixture of winchester cheap stuff, federal cheap stuff and about 50% or more winchester 00Buck and slugs. Never had a problem or misfire/misfeed all day long. I clean it every time I take it out, gas tube and everything, completely dissasemble and grease it up and oil it before the next outing. Clean is happy.

  15. Wow, I'm surprised at how many people have such bad experiences with their local Wal-Mart. My closest one is about 40 miles away, and yes, you do have to sometimes chase someone down. But why all the bashing? Gotta realize that not everyone's dream comes true when they get out of school and find out there isn't any jobs. Sounds like 2 the floor got a good deal, even if he didn't want the ammo provided. I'm sure it will shoot fine, and if not, maybe he needs to work on his S-12 a little more. Mine shoots all sorts of crap - Federal, Winchester and any other bulk pack crap. If you want it to shoot everything, tune it up so it will. 50 FPS isn't/shouldn't be a deal breaker. If your S-12 is that finicky, you have other issues. Mine shoots good stuff, also. Maybe if your S-12 is that finicky, you should just stick to high dollar good stuff. I'm ashamed that people treat/talk about Wal-Mart employees like they do here. They can't possibly be expected to know every thing about every item they sell. They are just people, some glad/lucky to have a job in this economical enviroment we have. You should have checked it out yourself, as others have implied. Just because Wal-Mart sells chinese shit, don't take it out on the employees. To The Floor, you should have gone out and bought a lottery ticket. I don't think I would have ever been dealt with that fairly in your situation. Tune your S-12 to shoot anything with it, and count your blessings. Wal-Mart is not your enemy, they only exist because you shop there.

  16. In '95 we had freak high winds and it knocked over a couple of neighbors trees. Wiped out my F-150 and my Bronco. Flattened them both at once. I had just finished overhauling the motor on the F-150 and replacing everything in the entire brake system. Homeowners said it was an act of God, and wouldn't pay. Car insurance did pay for them, at a very low rate, though. I don't know why, but I had full coverage on them at the time. Sucks bad, Shannon. I would look for a new roof section.

  17. If it happens to be annouced police so be it your dead anyway.

    So, the Police announce themselves and you are going to attempt to kill them? You are a fucking idiot!

    Kick burglaries are nothing new. When I lived in Houston from 1981 to 1993, there were reports in the news every night. It was very common, and the police actually did misstep enough at the time (ok, they fucked up ALOT) that people thought that they were just the mistaken targets of a raid gone wrong. Gangs picked up on this and would "raid" peoples houses and typically tie up the man, rape his spouse, and then kill the man and rob the home. They either made their own or bought police windbreakers from supply houses. In the middle of the night, just being woken up, you are disoriented, and your primary objective should be to protect yourself, no matter what, no matter who calls out and says they are. Things typically happen in seconds. Often, one is not wide awake enough to assertain the situation. Tell you what, mr compliant badboy, why don't you have a friend or two do a scenario when you least expect it, keeping an unloaded gun by your side, and have them "break" in when you are dead asleep, and see how you would react. My ex-sister in law (who was living with my wife and me at the time) came home drunk one night from clubbing, and thought it would be funny to pound on the door and yell POLICE, like a kick burglary. She has no idea how close she came to being a statistic that night. Don't call people idiots until you have walked the walk. With the new Indianna Supreme Court ruling that cops can come into your place at anytime, these kick burglaries are sure to increase 100%. Why wouldn't they? Criminals will have nothing to fear at all.

  18. I've got 2 Honda ATC 90's built in 1970, both in Lime Green, with the big balloon tires, and they are a BLAST! They are only dangerous if you get really stupid on them. The first time I tried to turn, I just used the handlebars and let one leg drag - well the tire climbed up my leg and threw me off like a rag doll. That was the only time I ever had an incident. Once you learn to throw your body into the turns, you can have an absolute blast with these machines. I bought them cheap at farmers auctions because the farmers were retiring. Kids used to use them all the time during irrigation. $400 compared to several thousand for a new 4 wheeler. Honda still sells replacement parts for them, and there is even collector forums on the web. They flat out are cool., and they quick dissasemble to fit in the trunk of your car! lol. (seat comes off, handlebars turn with a quick release, etc) Coolest things ever built!

  19. man, glock 20s are cool. my friend has one. when he showed it to me, i was in awe. the thing is huge compared to the other glocks i own

    Buy a Desert Eagle and carry it daily for a while like I once did, everything else will suddently seem small and down right handy! :lolol:

    Had a buddy that bought a Desert eagle 50 and every time he shot the casing would come back and hit him in the forehead. He was actually bleeding after a few rounds. Is this "normal"? He let me shoot a couple of rounds, but I don't remember that happening. It was in 1986, 1987 or so. I just remember - Man that gun was big and heavy, and it made his forehead bleed, and the bullets back then were about a dollar a shot. (it was in Houston)
