  1. How NOT to use a dental pic to grab a spring.

    in Tech Section

    Posted

    I still have that hand. I can't move my wrist, as I have a titanium rod in its place. I can move all my fingers too. My thumb isn't as strong though. Still, better than a hook.

     

    It happened on active duty.

    dude that is nasty! You still have that hand? does it work at all? sorry, don't mean to be nosy but OMFG. How did that happen?!

     

    Army Rangers? mid-eighties? Mind if I ask where? Curiosity gets the best of me :P

     

    BTW, thanks for your contribution and sacrifice. Hope the little dental pick wound heals up smartly.

  2. Anti-gun Land Bill On The Move

    in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!

    Posted

    back home some years ago, I worked as a painter, then later as a finish carpenter, on a large development that a rich farmer built on their land. you can buy the 500k house, or 100k condo, but you didnt own the land rights to it. the deed restriction ALSO said NO FIREARMS on said property.

     

    there were rashes of robberies there, even with good security. go figure. I learned something about liberal america there, actually, back when.....I met a total anti-gunning democrat homebuyer on a day when I was doing touchups, I think, (may have been a closet that i forgot to do, been so long, dont remember exactly which) and they actually ASKED me if i knew about the rule on guns there.....they didnt buy, citing "what else cant I do". I got in some trouble for that, but the house sold the next week, so it wasnt much. :) true story.

     

    dont want to get robbed and murdered out in the federal parks? well, why NOT buy up all the land, and search every piece of shit that tries to go in there. You and I dont need to deal with that out in the middle of the forest or mountains, I can tell you that much, and if I am going to go be outside, I dont want to have to carry for "human" while Im at it. DO YOU? I highly doubt theyd stop you from carrying in a bear or snake gun........

     

     

    lately, ya'll have gotten this tone, that well, I dont relate to. No ill intended twords ya'll, but come on now.

     

     

    I can't believe someone who works for/with a gunsmith/ffl whatever, would say such illogical nonsense!

     

    Simply purchasing land and saying "no firearms on this land" will do nothing to stop you from being robbed or murdered while on that land. I can't believe I've got to start preaching to the choir here. Don't you know what happens in "gun free" zones? We like to call them "victim disarmament zones" or "Victim Rich zones" or some other such moniker. You seem to think that banning guns somehow protects you? Is this the official opinion of CGW?

     

    Just curious.

  3. WTF!!!!!

    Yes, it was designed to fire, and even states in the paperwork that comes with it, 3" magnum and 2 3/4" magnum shells. In the user's guide where it tells you how to use the gas setting knob, it only mentions magnum shells. I've never seen 2 3/4" shells marked as "magnum," (I'm new to shutguns.. donno) but I'm assuming they mean high brass.

     

    So they were never intended to fire the low-brass WW specials.

     

    However, I can't afford to "play" with it, or "train" with it, very often, with the expensive high-brass loads. At WW, the Winchester Super X is $5 for a box of 5. that's $25 for 25. The low-brass is $25 for 100!!!! Don't get me wrong, I ordered 250 rounds of 2 3/4" Nobel 00 buck, but I can't afford to run through it like that.

     

    If RAAC is willing to foot the bill for CGW to "fix" my S12 so that it will cycle the low-brass stuff reliably, it will then become a more enjoyable firearm that I can "play" with to my heart's delight. It will also mean more people will get to see and experience, and potentially create more sales for RAAC. I don't think that is "cheap." I do, however, believe it to be wise.

  8. How NOT to use a dental pic to grab a spring.

    I saw that video before. It's actually a magic trick to make it look like he pierces his hand. Still pretty nasty though.

     

    I AM a lefty, but only because about 20 years ago I had a 12ga go through the palm of my right hand and remove my wrist, both arteries and many of the bones in my hand. So I because a lefty.

     

    Here's a picture of it after it was cleaned up.

  12. Saiga on Gunbroker, is this legal?

    in Second Amendment, 922r & the law

    Posted

    Just to clarify: if you add a foreign made pistol-grip, you are adding an imported part that is counted for 922r compliance. I'm using the CAA pistol grip with the different front and back strap inserts, so that makes 15 counted parts. I have to now replace at least 5 of those counted parts with US made parts for compliance.

     

    I'm doing:

     

    stock (1)

    FCG (3)

    Gas piston (1)

     

    This brings me to 10 foreign parts regardless of which mags I use, so my factory mag is no less legal than my AGPs.

  13. Stocks

    in Saiga-12

    Posted · Edited by Wheel

    I prefer the folder, because it makes the weapon the smallest when not in use. Easiest to store, transport, or carry in a sling on my back. I also have an AR (or two wink wink) with collapsible stock. I like that it will make the weapon smaller or longer depending on my needs, but it will never get as small as a rifle with a folder. IMHO, the folder is the best choice for general home/homeland defense rifles, in basic combat format. If you want a sniper rifle a fixed stock is best, but a Saiga12 is not a rifle.

  20. Chaos Warthog Function test!!!!!

    I love the door breacher looks, in fact I've already pre-ordered. I also love the fact that it adds functionality. I don't PLAN on having to blast through any doors any time soon, but should the need arise, I'll have the perfect tool. That, and it looks menacing as hell. That's a good thing.

     

    I can't wait to get mine. Thing looks BADASSICAL.

  23. 5 AGP 10rd mags enough?

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    yep. Live within your means. Don't forget, Ammo is important too. Without it, mags are just.. well... empty.

     

    I'd prefer to have 1000 rounds of 7.62 and 1 mag, than 1000 mags and one round.

     

    of course that's an exaggeration. But still, even things out. I recently bought 10 Glock mags and I don't even own a Glock (yet lol).

  24. 12 round mags not 922r Compliant?

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    For example, a similar Topic Title is: "Reading Saiga 12 Forum Posts causes Instant Death in Babies?" :ded:

     

     

    That literally had me LOL! :D

     

    Thanks for the heads up on the possible interpretations of the "barrel attachment" item for 922r. It doesn't seem logical that threads would meet the definition of "attachment," but better to be safe than sorry. I've seem more than one statute interpreted in a totally illogical manner, so I'll play the safe side on that one.

  25. Should I be worried?

    in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!

    The only thing I would worry is that you have a good safe. Now that person knows what you got, and where you live. Make sure all your paperwork is in order, as usual. I doubt he will start shit. I mean, what can he do? call the BATF and tell them he delivered a shipment of bullets to your house? That will garner no attention.

     

    As for the spam cans, I have one full of 7.62x54R. I just figured I'd leave it sealed. Thought the ammo would be better kept that way? Correct me if I'm wrong.
