  1. I have 4, and an md20 on order. I think that is enough. Sure, more of something that is hard to get is good, but do you really need more?

     

    Could you spend the "more mag money" on other, more practical things, like, say, a new Glock or something instead? You live in CA so that seems unlikely, but who knows.

     

    I have 13 Pmags for my AR15s. I wish I bought more of those, when they were readily available for $13 a pop with the chrome silicon spring. Still, truth be told, if the zombies are coming, an S12 with an md20 loaded, and 4 AGP 10 rounders in reserve along side a couple ARs with 13 pmags and 7 GI mags with handguns and magazines galore really ought to be enough.

     

    If I find myself ever to need more, chances are I'm in shit too deep to climb out of no matter HOW many mags or guns I have.

     

    I think 5 is plenty. Use your other money for other stuff.

  2. So how does the 12 round mag make a stock saiga 12 non-compliant?

     

    Does it not have the same parts as a 10 round mag?

     

    The 10 rnd mag throws the Saiga 12 out of compliance also...

     

    The easy ways to get back to compliant:

    Polychoke

    US Gas Piston

    US Foregrip

     

     

    I was under the impression that the IZ-109 with threaded barrel contained 14 counted parts for 922r. Using a USA built Mag brings the count to 11. The simplest way to make it compliant by bringing the count down to 10 would then be to remove the thread protector on the end of the barrel. Yeah, I know... not the best idea, but it would work in a pinch if you want to go "test-fire" your new S12 while waiting on all the other USA made parts you'll surely have ordered already.

     

    I've ordered stuff, but haven't got it yet, and will be going out tomorrow with the thread protector removed for a quick test-fire.

  3. hey BobAsh.

    do you know the screw i would need and any mod i would need to do for the DIY for a StrikeForce AK Pistol Grip?

    have a Lowes i can goto...

    just ordered a Tromix FCG & DIY.

     

    way excited..

     

    So does the DIY triggerguard move the FCG forward? Also, what "machining" is eliminated with this part?

     

     

    Seems in the DIY video I just watched, the only machining going on was to cut down the factory trigger guard?

  4. I've been calling it an AK-12 because it's easier for people to understand. Just like everyone else says. I don't mind it at all. I mean, it IS an AK basically.

  5. Thanks for clearing that up. I was reading some other articles and here is what I came up with. If I put a Tapco telescpoing buttstock(1par)t with pistol grip, a Polychoke(1part) on the mizzle and use a AGP 10round mag(3 parts) I should be compliant. Am I reading this right?

    TIA

    To be honest, I'm not 100% clear on the PolyChoke. Removing the PolyChoke from your equation and adding in the gas piston, you would be compliant at that point.

    As a personal preference, I don't like to count on a mag to get me to the compliant mark, but if you want to that is certainly your prerogative.

     

     

    I read elsewhere that the IZ-109 has only 14 parts as listed by the BATF for 922® compliance. This form would suggest 15, after unchecking the pistol-grip. Which *other* part on that checklist does not apply to the IZ-109?

  6. Hey!

     

    Just joined the forum a bit ago, and finally came across this thread. I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Spyderco Endura with Emerson wave. I visited several gunshows, gun shops, and read countless "EDC" knife threads at different gun forums I visit before deciding on the Endura. I'd had one of the original Delicas and Enduras when I first saw them in the 80's (pretty sure it was 80s). This New Endura is rock solid, and the Emerson Wave feature is terrific. It comes out of the pocket open, blade down.

     

    I'd considered the CRKT M16 or M21, but after handling them in person, realized they are not designed for tip-up carry if clipped inside a pocket.

     

    Anyway, the Endura is a great solid knife. An Excellent choice for EDC, at least as far as pocket clip knives go. The clip can be mounted in four different locations. I carry mine weak-side, tip-up.
