  1. Shot a select-fire version at Mission Essential right outside of Fort Stewart,GA some time back. Great gun, was fun as hell actually. Only downside that I recall was the 13 round magazine capacity. But I'm sure an SBR version would be sweet!

     

     

    wow, they got a shooting range/gun store now in hooterville? they didn't when I was station there, when it was the 24th ID, eons ago. guys that owned firearms use to take the range safety class at range control, to be range qualified so they could use the POW range.

     

     

    Yep, they got a nice little range right there off of 196. I haven't been there since I left active duty back in February though. 24th ID wow, lol. No offense though

     

     

    They have a cool owner. He has done some good pricing on alot of my stuff

  2. Don't pick your caliber based off of what our military or police are using. The BIGGEST SHTF fallacy is the belief that you can resupply from cops or soldiers.

     

    THE UNFORTUNATE TRUTH: In every SHTF event I have researched, when police or military see you with a gun or are alerted to its presence, THEY TAKE IT! Not just here, but all over the world.

     

    Civil unrest is FAR more likely than a Red Dawn. You will not be fighting alongside our troops and cops - they will be trying to control YOU.

     

     

    As part of the military (USMC and now USCG) and LE community I think you underestimate how committed most of us are to upholding freedoms like the 2nd Amendment. If a true SHTF scenario came into play and big daddy govt tried to take the citizen's arms there would be a civil war inside the military and the govt. I'm not saying there won't be areas and situations where government tyrany will occur, but I just don't ever see a widespread coordinated effort ever happening. Localized areas (Kalifornia, Mass, New York, etc..) I would expect the government coming after it's people. But never on a national scale. So being able to get ammo that is produced domestically for and used by the govt is a very valid argument. In a sustained SHTF scenario there will be more .223 ammo out there to be had than 7.62x39 period. And yes if your town had to survive and protect against outside threats (large criminal gangs since there are no feds to stop them etc.) I absolutely think that we would be providing security and fighting along side our local LEOs. This is America, freedom is our heritage, and I have faith in our citizens to unite to protect it self.

     

    1 Saiga semi (converted), more accurate than most other AKs and you can choose caliber for your environment.

     

    2 AK-47 it's reputation proceeds..... FYI I think FA in x39 is a waste of ammo.

     

    3 AR cause nothing else was available

     

    +1 on the shtf situation

    as far as rifles go what ever you train with the most

  3. Who is putting them on backward? Of course it's purely cosmetic on the front sight, so go crazy with it.

    I think I'm to blame for this one. I put the front sight on backwards for purely cosmetic reasons.

     

    The reason I did this was

    1) to maintain the existing straight line going up the gas block into the front sight.

    2) Most guns I see have the angle facing the rear of the gun. Look at a AR-15 sight, or a standard AK front sight... Flat on the front, angle to the rear. I wanted to follow that design and look a little more.

     

    *I still have the rear sight on in the proper orientation*

     

    The drum should lean foward.

     

    The traditional method of installing the front sight would be to have the angle facing the front, as BobAsh has shown with his beautiful shotgun.

     

    sweet paint job :super:

  4. Free? Does free count? My Ruger P85 9mm came to me unfired, for free. And it came with 2 15-round mags, during the Assault Weapons Ban years, when such things were a no-no unless they were "pre-ban" (which these were). At the time, those mags alone were selling for around $100 each! My Dad had a habit of finding deals and dropping them in my lap. :)

     

    He also dropped a Saiga 7.62x39 on me for $180.

     

    I've got other guns, but those two are still my favorites, both for how great they've proven to be, and for the way they came to me.

    sounds like you have a great dad
