  1. the ranges here in Vegas all do that too. There's a good reason though. So many people don't know how to handle a gun. they start pulling the trigger all happy and go right through the ceiling, the lane dividers, everything. Personally, I think these people shouldn't be allowed on the range. I can put all the bullets in my magazine on target as fast as I can pull the trigger. The range officer will come SCREAMING at me that I can't rapid-fire, even though every freaken shot is within at least the 8 ring.

     

    fuk 'em. I avoid those places like the plague. They won't let you work from the holster, either, and there's a stupid SHELF in front of you. What kind of practice or training is that? bah. I'm not training for slow-motion target shooting..

  2. I thought 922r meant that you DON'T put more foreign made parts on it than it already has. And that adding any US made part, including mags is okay.

     

    Not exactly. As I mentioned above, 922r only applies to "non-sporting" weapons. If you make any mods to your gun that make it non-sporting, then you must comply with 922r.

     

     

    By "non-sporting" you mean converted with PG and FCG moved forward right? What if its unconverted with the original sporter stock?

     

    No, adding a hi-cap magazine deems it automatically unsporting, and therein lies the problem.

  3. lol.. I know that everyone here understands that no real military force in the world is going to choose a semi-auto rifle to mount an "assault."

     

    I didn't know I had to tiptoe on eggshells here when it comes to this issue.

     

    The point is obvious, there is a big difference between an assault-style weapon such as an AR-15, and a main battle weapon such as an FN FAL.

  4. Yes because it is a foreign part (not made in the us).

     

     

    This is not exactly correct. The issue with using the US made mags is not the fact that they are US made. The problem is that when you put a 10rd detachable mag on a Saiga it may no longer fall into the "sporting" category. So although using a Russian made 8 rounder MAY be legal because 8 rounds MAY still be considered sporting, it would not be simply because it was made in Russia. That has nothing to do with it.

  5. Didn't know you already had a 30-06. That is a step up from .308, between it and 300 win mag ;). With the 30-06 in the safe, may as well go with a smaller round then! I think .223 is a good choice for many reasons, but everyone has their own situation. I'd stick with .223 well, because I already have one. it's a 16" Stainless bull barrel free-float AR. Get's it done, and cheap (ish).

  6. One question: Other that just looks, is there any advantage to the military handguard vs. the ugly Saiga one? It looks to me that the Saiga HG would be more functional with more options when it comes to positioning your support hand.

  7. hmm... Buy the Dremel regardless. Find a friend who is less sissified than you are, and have him give you a demonstration. Maybe let HIM do the grinding/drilling. I donno. You need to unsissify. Sissification is not allowed for those who own firearms. Seriously.

  8. I love my ARs. But I've never hear of "caliber loyalty." a .308 is a totally different ballgame. An AR-15 is an assault rifle. An FN FAL in .308 is a main battle rifle. The Saiga falls into the same category, I guess. I mean, it just has SO MUCH MORE PUNCH. I'm drooling over a .308 right now, I just don't have any money left after dumping it into ARs and SAIGA 12. lol. And ammo. Etc...

     

    However, if I were left with the choice of either a 5.56 AR or a .308 Saiga I guess I'd have to go with the AR, just for the availability of ammo. Not like 5.56 is everywhere and cheap now, but certainly moreso than .308, and if SHTF I guarantee you'll have a better time hunting down some 5.56 than some .308. I donno, just depends on where you're looking, and what you intend to do with it.

  9. well considering the cost of a dremel and a cobalt bit, and the fact that you will still have them for other shit once you're done with the conversion, I'd say it's worth it!!! a REAL MAN buys tools to use them one time, and before he knows it, he has so many tools he can do anything!!!

     

    lol j/k not trying to say you aren't a real man (ok it's true I'm challenging your manhood), but uh, yeah.. lol

     

    buy a dremel and a bit. Every man should have a dremel.

     

    here's a quick link to show you how affordable a Dremel is!!! I really mean it when I say EVERY man should own a dremel. If you don't own a Dremel, or some sort of grinding/cutting tool, it's hard to really claim to be a man (muAHahaHa)

  10. This is how they roll. When my wife lost her job and we could no longer afford our house, we tried to sell it and downsize. My credit score was 740+, everything was always current and on-time. We kept low balances on all our cards although we'd use them for EVERYTHING. Huge payments every month. It was just easier to send a couple CC payments, than try to keep track of a billion little debit-card transactions on the checking account.

     

    Well, when we found our home was $300k upside down in equity (close to 60% loss) from when we purchsed in 2005, and learned that we weren't going to be able to sell it, we were screwed. Eventually our savings ran out and we could no longer make that payment. Replacing a 6 figure salary in this economy especially in the business my wife and I are in is well.. impossible. Almost immediately, the CC complanies raised the interest on our ACCOUNTS IN GOOD STANDING to 28.9%. The balaces totalled close to $25k. With the loss of job and all, the interest payments alone became impossible to keep up with.

     

    So instead of leaving us alone and letting me pay off the cards over the course of a few months, they helped force me into bankruptcy. Now, they get nothing. Morons.
