  1. I see a lot of pictures of football players and stuff on facebook. How is posing with a rifle any different than posing with football gear? Perhaps if it's an intimidating photo, but what about if it's to support the sport? I wonder if that would that land me in a psych ward? It's no different than if I posed with a basketball in my hand. I'm tempted to try changing my FB profile to that and see what UK does. Unfortunately, I have better things to do with my time than try to sue ignorant school officials and LEO. The media has successfully criminalized guns.
  2. (HUD not included) For all the information go to: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=12836 This is my pet-project S20. I think I have it cycling all loads fairly reliably. The last time I shot, it fed 14rnds as fast as I could pull the trigger without an FTE or FTF--but I haven't gotten to confirm 100% reliability because the neighbors were beyond pissed at me. It was made to be a gun for sport/competition because it kicks a lot less than a 12ga, and there's enough magazine selection to go from 2+1rnds at the trap range/hunting, to 15rnds for those open-class st
  3. At the risk of sounding dumb, what does a barrel shroud do? I'm assuming it's made of a metal that is extremely efficient at conducting heat so that it increases the over-all surface area and dissipates heat more rapidly? Basically, an aftermarket heat-sink?
  4. Atlantic has a positive reputation around these parts. They frequent the forum, contribute to the forum, supply the forum members, etc. I would buy with confidence from them, but I'm a bit short on $$$ right now.
  5. There's a ton wrong with our current court system. The 7th Amendment preserved trial by jury as it existed in 1791, NOT 2007. In 1791, only citizens were allowed on the jury. Being a citizen meant they were educated, respected in the community, responsible, and felt obligated to further social policies and justice. Today, a jury of peers is often uneducated, unknown, irresponsible people that choose one way or another based only on their whims without any recourse. Trial by jury isn't by peers, it's by 6-12 individuals who make decisions based on their personal bias who can quickly fad
  6. Does it have to be movies? I want the warthog from Halo, and I'd not mind the battle rifle or sniper rifle either. Barring video games, I'm a big fan of the minigun in Resident Evil II. I liked the staffs from Stargate too.

    Poly chokes

    Polychokes kickass. I guess that's my "barney-style" explanation. I don't think the vents are worth it. There's not hardly any recoil reduction and it adds extra length. It might help a little with heat reduction though.
  8. Technically... There's a breach of warranty here. By law, the seller is liable for warranty-damages calculated as the difference between the gun as promised and the gun as given. What was promised was a 922r compliant gun capable of legally accepting high-capacity magazines. Therefore, the seller owes the difference between a converted gun and an unconverted gun, which amounts to the cost of a conversion. UCC 2-313 "Express warranties by the seller to the immediate buyer are created as follows: a) any affirmation of fact...made by the seller which relates to the goods and becomes
  9. State laws may restrict sales FTF sales. Does your state require pistol permits? If so, be sure to get one. If not, be sure to get a copy of their driver's license at the least. I would suggest that if you help sell them, you act only as a gratuitous agent for the executive of the estate. Basically, arrange FTF deals on behalf of him/her, and if possible, make him/her conduct the actual sale. I would assume you would not be considered a dealer--you'd be a promoter or an agent of a principal. If you do it for profit, then you might be considered a dealer. But "gifts" unrelated t
  10. I'm not a lawyer...yet...but I would never count on jury nullification. Cobra is right that sometimes it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6, but only in extreme circumstances. And Racegal is correct about trusting 12 people that can't get out of jury duty. The sampling will often exclude anyone that is busy and important enough not to be there (generally, wealthy, higher-educated conservatives). And even if there are a gun advocate or two on the jury, what will that amount to? A small minority of jurors aren't going to be able to convince the rest to acquit. They might be able
  11. She's my hero! I bet she bakes a mean dish of cookies and can shoot to boot. What a gal!!! They just don't make 'em like they used to.
  12. Cheers to that! This is like Xmas eve when I was 8--so much suspense. I'll do my best to practice patience though.
  13. That thing is sooooo gorgeous. Even searching for fault, it proved to be perfect. I really can't say enough good things about that gun.
  14. Thanks! I could afford $200. I might be wrong on my suppressor info...but that'd be sweet regardless!
  15. Topmaul and Wakal voiced my opinion. Thanks y'all!
  16. Don't shorten the barrel either. That will unleash hell. If yours has issues, there's a ton of possible fixes so it's not lost cause. Just takes some time/energy.
  17. euhm, the 5.7mm is supposed to have less overpenetration than the 5.56mm, or at least for the LEO/army ammo (cant speak for the civilian ammo that's available in the states). 5.7mm is designed to stop after the first soft target or a wall (but punch through armor plates like a hot knife through butter, but dont ask me how they do that). if i recall correctly the 5.7mm only penetrates 10 inches into ballistic jelly. my fav is still 6.5 Grendel, but that can't be used in an existing carbine without an extensive workover. Agreed on the 6.5 grendel. I thought that given the same bul
  18. Soooo sexy. I like the look of the galil charging handle, but does it distract you when you're shooting? I'm not sure how much it would bother me having it in my periphery, but then again I've never noticed my shells ejecting so it might not even be noticed.
  19. 5.7x28 over 5.56x45? 5.7 has wayyyy too much penetration for my liking. If anything I'd prefer a larger, lower velocity round. Perhaps the 6.8? Can police use fragmenting, HP, or mushrooming rounds? Or are they restricted to ball?
  20. My understanding is that sound suppressors also are the most effective recoil reducers. How much? And is that a Class III or a tax stamp?
  21. I tend to agree with him, but shotguns do have their purpose in LEO work. They're great for non-lethals, they can be an effective door breacher, and they have lower penetration than rifles or pistols so they are better for indoor raids if there's not many collaterals around. But when push comes to shove, a carbine is always the best weapon IMO. It's the most effective mix of lethality, accuracy, mobility, and capacity.
  22. Threaten suit. Better yet: get a lawyer to threaten suit. Only way to get your gun. 1) Fraud 2) Willful Breach of Contract 3) Criminal Proceedings = Internet/interstate Robbery of Firearms 4) Breach of duty as a FFL = Call the atf and get this yanked
  23. HOLY SHIT! I read the statutes as soon as I came to law school at UK, but I totally glossed over the "shall not apply to post-secondary schools." I was so used to NC's over-protective crap I just figured it'd be illegal. I gotta review the student rules, but that gives me some hope. Thanks!
