  1. Lesson learned. I have not taken the time to learn all the features of the board, but understand this one now.
  2. Tony, its straight from the article link. I didnt write any of it.
  3. Ive had comcast and charter and satellite, and in my opinion directv is the best equipt and price for TV service, but it wont take care of your internet issue. I got free install, 3 boxes (1 hd dvr, 1 hd receiver and 1 standard receiver) 250 channels and showtime and stars for 70 bucks a month.
  4. If you click on the link you can see its just a copy paste from ammoland.com, not me "making shit up". Glad its mis reporting as it enraged me when I read it. Agencies that operate without oversight violate checks and balances and need to be dismantled.
  5. http://www.ammoland....rs-of-firearms/ "Anyone sending a gun in for warranty or to a gunsmith will now have to send their firearms through multiple FFL dealers, fill out 4473's and pay for back ground checks on guns you already own." "Reversing an interpretation of the Gun Control Act that has been on the books for more than four decades, ATF posted a ruling declaring any shipment of a firearm by a manufacturer (FFL) to any agent or business (e.g., an engineering-design firm, patent lawyer, testing lab, gun writer, etc.) for a bona fide business purpose to be a "transfer" under
  6. If you go ace, get the 1 inch recoil pad if you want a more comfortable ride on long shooting days...... But after seeing those pics, that folding stock is really cool, would love to try something like that on the next build.
  7. its not going to break free, but it might shake loose over time. Purple locktite and you are good. Or even better, weld the fucker. With the older tromix, the problem was usually user error, using a longer bolt than you should for your grip, tightening down too hard and pushing the guard away from the backplate and into the receiver and bending or breaking a bolt. Sounds like thats fixed now.
  8. Aimpoints hold up even mounted on saiga 12s! Need I say more? Yes they are more money, but for me its worth saving up an extra hundo or so and not having to replace it later because it wont hold 0 or the mount keeps falling off. I have not had to adjust mine since I mounted it. I do not remove mine after its zeroed. The mount has a lot to do with why it stays in place and at 0. Im partial to larue mounts who claim you can take it on and off and retain 0.
  9. Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the saiga addiction. Start with 200 or so rounds of high brass like slugs or 00 buck to break in your new gun on gas setting 1. Then try some bird shot on setting 2. Depending on what you get, you may need some additional mods. Track how many failures you get, and keep track of failures to eject vs failure to feed depending on your gas settings and ammo selection. Both types of failures can mean polishing is required, but were is dependent on the issue. See my article in my signature for my 2 cents on break in etc. You dont have to follow all the mods (
  10. So with the help of a gunsmith and full machine shop, I converted 2 Vodka Specials to something that now have worked for a good year with regular use and thousands of rounds through them with no explosions or issues. Sure I could have sent them in to Cadiz, but I wanted to learn how to do this myself and it was part of what I expected when I got into this type of gun. Hope some of you take the risks to learn so its not just something you send out to get done. As controversial as my decision to seal that side vent under the handguard may be, this is in regards to fixing a Vodka special, no
  11. Heres the latest on this story: http://www.examiner.com/x-2879-Austin-Gun-Rights-Examiner~y2010m1d20-Austin-gun-show-update-Interviews-reveal-bigger-picture?cid=channel-rss-Politics
  12. You can do your own hot rebluing if you get some brownells tanks to do it in. but its nasty work. Its worth paying someone else for. Check my signature article for info on hot rebluing saigas.
  13. The war is long over, and its MD all the way!
  14. You just opened up a hot one newbee! Lots of folks have had many a thread on the topic so some on the board may jump on ya as a new member to search first (sorry were rough around the edges but you will learn to like it ;-). Use the search topic field at the bottom and put in BHO. You should find some posts including pics.
  15. Thanks gents. Ill brush away then with reckless abandon............
  16. After some advice from folks on this forum, I went and got a tornado brush to clean the smooth bore saiga 12 I have. It works so well its amazing, but I have always worried about using steel cleaning brushes on a chrome lined barrel. Are these things gentle enough not to strip chrome as it seems to indicate on the label, or are my amazing piles of lead really lead and chrome? My fear is that I am cleaning too well, and slowly stripping away all my corrosion protection at the same time. Let me know your thoughts.
  17. Though it may not be illegal, do you live in a subdivision with a HOA? If your drama continues, read through the covenants and see what you can find anything about their house or yard that may be a violation. Hedges too tall? report it. Grass not cut? report it... etc. Just keep doing it and making them get those letters may be a nice "behind the scenes" way to pay them back. My subdivision is notorious for sending any fine they can, and yours may be willing to pursue fines for some violation of the HOA covenants.
  18. Read the article in my signature. My gun was just like yours when I got it.
  19. Beautiful Cobra, thank you. Hope you are feeling well these days. So I assume thats a wood stock. Any ideas if I go black plastic?
  20. When I converted my Saiga, I really liked the idea of a folding skeleton stock. After some time, I find it uncomfortable and am thinking about taking it off for something more traditional. I welded a plate on the end of my saiga 12 for a permanent flat surface so I have to get creative now about adding a standard stock. I do not want to remove the weld plate. I am relying on the folding mechanism to hold the stock to the rear of the platform. What is the best way to mount a traditional AK stock to an ace folding mech that wont look like shit and wont crack or break on me? For wood I was t
  21. One last bit of advice. Make sure to get the one that includes a forward assist assembly & ejection port cover assembly. The stripped uppers dont include this feature. I also agree that del ton is good for cheap uppers now that they are not so backed up you can get parts in a reasonable time. I waited 6 months for a forend earlier in the year.
