[P-rail mounted AK/RPK type sights?]

Thank you.

But I'm not looking for a P-rail mount, but AK type iron sights that can be p-rail mounted.

I appreciate the contact.

I found one at a local pawn shop and am thinking of getting it for a Scenrio 3gun build.

 

First question is...Has anyone had any experiance with these?

 

Secondly... I'm looking at cutting the barrel down to 18.5. Any recommendations on tools, etc? Never done this before so interested in methods.

You could just do what I do and let everyone know you're a militant f*&k and carry a Condor Molle case in OD green.

Is it April already?

[Saw a man die today.]

Sad. When I lived in AZ, it was drive by shootings on the bypass around Pheonix. At least that you can defend against. Hit and runs are pretty much indefensible save with larger vehicles.

[P-rail mounted AK/RPK type sights?]

Ok, I may have asked this before but can't find it.

I really like my RPK's iron sights and would like to run similar on it once bullpupped. Does anyone know of any Picitinny rail mounted AK/RPK type sights or buis kits. I think I've figured out how to make them, but don't have the precision equipment to do the best job.

[How Many?]

Okay now that we've settled that. Next Question: Is water wet?

 

Evidently, not in all states. I watched Yukon Men last night as they trapped beaver out of the river and then "dried" the fur by rubbing them in the snow.

 

Sorry, I know how it works. Just thought it funny, lol.

[10 Rd mags?]

I have 6 of the AGPs and had 2 of the SGMs. I cut the 2 SGMs down to 8s as they were a bit long for what I wanted. But no issues with either.

[How Many?]

Yep, I love the looks I get when I tell people of my 12ga AK, lol.

 

 

[Need Help Finding Saiga 12 AGP 10 Round Mag Pouches]

Check out "The Vest Guy"( I think), a vendor here on the Forums.

 

Otherwise, I modded mine out of a 6 mag molle pouch.

[Is polymer mags our future?]

I picked up a dozen flat back(Chicom) mags at local gun shows over several trips this last year. Most paid was $11. I even traded 4 Tapco polys for 4 of the steel. My RPK, chews up polys and they tend to be bulky so that I can only get 4-5 of them in a pouch that fits 6 steel mags. And these were like new steel mags.

 

They're out there. Just keep looking.

[poll on shotguns for HD, go forth and screw up the bell curve!&#33]

I marked OTHER and added this comment.....

 

"I've built a Bullpupped Saiga 12(a semi-auto, pistol gripped, mag fed AK shotgun). I had to mark "OTHER" because it fit multiple catagories. Being an AK it's about as relible as you can get. Being bullpupped its less than 34" OAL which makes it very manuverable and with a full 18" barrel can still be used to hunt with. I can't afford a vault full of guns, so I have to do the most with what I have."

[Getting back into and old hobby]

Very nice. Like some above, I used to do 1" D&D figures and WW2(North Africa & Blitzkreig). Nice shading, btw. It is a very relaxing hobby. But it can get addictive. I had over 100 of the WW2 figures(including vehicles) and 3-400 of the D&D figures. My daughter has most of the D&Ds now. I can remember using toothpicks, single brush bristles and needles for the finer touches, lol.

 

What WW2 figures are you going for?

[Maybe he was afraid of snakes?]

Ok, so the guys a little kinky, who isn't?

[New Zombie Game has Saiga Shotguns]

Hmm, I may have to see if this will play on my laptop. Sounds like fun.

[Guess what this is?]

I was gonna say a black powder nut cracker, but hey, it's still cool, lol.

 

As for the OB thing, how many women today would a man get close to her with something like that. With out shooting him first, lol.

[Polymer drum]

Ok, guess what I found at the gunshow yesterday, lol. Yep, a Romainian steel, 75rnd, top load drum. Timing is everything, lol. So here's some comparison pics of the ProMag Polymer 73rnd and a Romy 75rnd steel drum.

 

While the backs are roughly the same size....

 

The fronts are significantly different, given that the ProMag is blockish(like their other drums) compared to the steel which is "stepped" down to about the size of ProMags 12rnd S12 drum.

 

The ProMag tower is taller as well. Perhaps 5/8" in front and 1 1/4" in back. May work with a similar sized magwell, but don't hold me to that.

 

The ProMag shot well enough first time out. Just 2 fail-to-feeds in the tower that tapped right up. May need some wear. The feed lips are plenty stout. It actually weighs just a bit more than the seel drum according to my bathroom scale.

 

It loads just like the other back loaders, iirc. Hold the center button, wind carrier clockwise till it stops, release button, load, close and wind the butterfly key on back.

 

Is it worth the $70? Sure. My preferance is still the steel, but the Promag will work, has a taller tower which may work with a magwell and for my Ohio brethern, may be blockable down to 30rnds with a peice of thin plastic covering the bulk of the carrier. Haven't figured that out for the Romy yet, lol.

[I'm still alive and kicking With solvent traps in hand.]

Happy Anniversary.

 

Will you be at the Dayton gunshow this weekend?

[Jager AP84]

Nice. Wonder how that would bullpup? Ya know, for my grandkids, lol.

[Polymer drum]

Ok, got to the range the other day and ran through all 73rnds. Two fail to feeds, seemed to stick coming into the tower. First one, I pulled the drum and tapped it loose. Second one and I just tapped the drum and it slipped up to the feed lips without pulling the drum. May just need some use.

 

Lol, after about 60rnds, my RPK was starting to smoke a bit. The last few shots were a little hard to see the target(50yrds). Wood hand guards were fine, but I touched gas block, and ouch!

 

I'll try to get some pics up tomorrow.

[Took 3rd at the Zombie Shooting Competition in KY]

No Knob Creek this year. Maybe next though.

 

Gunfun, ya, a couple of the guys own/rent the property. It is a lot of work. But their doing it again.

Looks like the 11-12th of Nov. Not set in stone but tentitive.

 

DLT, Ya, I'd believe it. I have a couple doppelgangers, lol. Was in the Service with one, they all thought we were twins, lol.

[My New Toys (Pic Heavy)]

Wow, what a haul. Nice choices, all of them.

[Saiga-12 with Magpul 870 fore-end]

I like that. It has a nice clean look to it. Good job.

[What Color Front Sight]

what if you see 2 squirrels and a pink hippo

 

You might wanna work on your "Point and Pull" technique, lol.

[Prepping, or wasting time/money?]

Ya know, less than 50 years ago, prepping was a just another part of life. Hunting, fishing, camping, canning, drying and freezing were all family activities that provided for the coming winter/spring and into the summer. Only the wealthy and the foolish didn't bother to prep or paid someone to do it for them.

Now, everyone wants to think of themselves as wealthy, thus leading them to live in houses they can't afford, driving cars they can't afford and buying expensive toys they can't afford to run. It all has to come crashing down sometime. Even more so than it has.

 

At any rate, I've spent most my life prepping. To the point that it may well define my life as a whole. Ever since we were forced to evac our quarter of town due to a chem fire at a dry cleaners down town. I was about 7 or 8 at the time. Even then the thought of what we would have done had we not had relatives in the safe zones was disturbing. Fortunately, it only lasted a few days.

 

Besides the above activities, I got into the martial arts and general survival. then joined the military as an MP. From there I worked carpentry and construction, served as a volunteer Deputy with a SAR unit in AZ where I got my EMT & SAR Coordinator Certs, headed the untis vertical and cave rescue team and tracked inmates for the two local prisons. As well as taught school kids basic survival, etc. I don't know how many times we helped evac trailer dwellers from flood plains during the monsoons. All very useful skills to perform and pass on.

 

I've never thought about NOT prepping. Even in Ohio, I've stocked a few months food and water. Which a freind laughed at me for, until Des Moines flooded and she had to haul water up her apt. stairs. I'd love to have a couple years worth of food put back, but I don't care for soggy veggies and we just would not rotate thru it that well. MOSTLY because my SO is Gluten Free and radically picky about what she eats, regardless of what she says, lol.

 

As for accumulateing guns, ammo, fuel, toilet paper, etc. I suppose fortunaetly, other priorties keep me from getting carried away, too far. Sadly, since my work is somewhat seasonal, much of the money I put away goes for getting thru the winter and tax time.

 

I always tell people to start small with individual bug out(on foot) preparations for self/family/group. Then work up to vehicular evac preps and finally to "bugging in" in place. But ALWAYS be ready to evac if it's likely to be over run/flooded out, etc.

 

I can see how it would be easy to get carried away though. Over the course of a year, picking up a couple boxes everytime I went for groceries, I ended up with WAY more 12ga. rounds then I ever intended. So sadly, I been forceing myself to some range time.
