They're Here.... Kalashnikov USA KS-12
Lone Star Arms replied to Lone Star Arms's topic in LONE STAR ARMS
My pleasure, Anthony. I'm sure we'll be seeing these come in for mods and performance work very soon. Tested the gun yesterday, and shot video. Link follows. -
They're Here.... Kalashnikov USA KS-12
Lone Star Arms replied to Lone Star Arms's topic in LONE STAR ARMS
Looks tight! My '09 must have been built on worn-out tooling, besides the operators being drunk. Oh yeah, those crisp edges, and the smooth steel surfaces inside and out almost look a bit surreal. Like you, I'm used to seeing sheet metal with impressions of heavy industrial rolling mill wheels ingrained in the surface, and corners, and edges which show signs of tens of thousands of pieces coming out of the same set of molds. It's actually a bit surprising to me that the Kalashnikov USA guns are shipping now, heading into the traditional summer lull, with Vepr 12 prices creep -

Thanks Gunfun. Worked like a charm Forum would not allow images to link through the editor, so posting link below. http://imgur.com/a/H8Ftj -
They're Here.... Kalashnikov USA KS-12
Lone Star Arms replied to Lone Star Arms's topic in LONE STAR ARMS
I tried, and tried YOT, but forum image upload is still non-functional. Sent some to another outlet. Will post the link if the photos appear there. Got some great shots of the inside of the receiver, bolt, bolt carrier and FCG, and even the red hard case the gun ships in. May try hosting the images through my website, and linking here but won't have time for a few hours. Will post as soon as I can. Mike -

The hammer spring appears to be a standard AK, is stout enough, and I don't disagree with you. Definitely pulls harder than 3 lbs, and a bit harder than the 5 lb. factory trigger in my HK VP9. There is plenty of travel to be sure, and overall the trigger is not at all unpleasant. The hammer spring on this particular gun could benefit from adjustment. Adjustments will be made to keep the left hand side of the hammer spring from walking inward, and to relieve a bit of the tension on the trigger arms.

Well the UPS guy showed up today with a box, and said "New toy?". "Yep", I replied. I told him what it was, and we talked guns for a bit before he had to rush off to his next stop. So, upon getting the box inside, I opened it up and out slid a red hard case with the Kalashnikov USA logo emblazoned on the front. "Nice touch", I thought. I opened up the case, pulled out the shotgun, and turned it over in my hands. Everything about it was instantly familiar - aside from the fire control group being situated where it should be, and Kalashnikov USA furniture, which looks pretty good, this is

The press is not in the 'truth' business, and have not been for a very long time. In a nutshell - replacing real words representing stark reality (e.g. horribly maimed and dismembered children) with sanitized 'fantasy' language (heroes) attempts to redefine, frame, and control the very origin and context of thought surrounding the circumstances. Hapless victims of terrorism become 'Heroes. Terrorism becomes 'workplace violence', or 'man made disaster', and terrorists themselves are portrayed as 'refugees' and 'victims' of 'violent extremist ideology' (which term is also liberally applied to

Want to Buy: Vepr 12/IZ-433 Magwell Nut
Lone Star Arms replied to JDeko's topic in Want To Buy (WTB)
Please get in touch with me at lonestararms@yahoo.com, Deko. Happy to help. Mike -
We probably won't be seeing these in the US anytime soon, but its an interesting concept. Not sure just how familiar Yahoo news is with firearms, but the "shotgun" appears to be chambered in .223 Rem https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/03a3dd02-a086-3e57-8026-8be976bb3f1c/ss_the-company-behind-the-ak-47.htm

3 Intruders Killed...
Lone Star Arms replied to sjgusmc21's topic in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!
Awesome. Just, awesome! -
Currently, the only other S20 mag I'd spend my money on would be a factory 5 rounder. The S20 isn't a common firearm, and honestly, post ban - that CSSSPECS is devoting production time to S20 mags is a testament to their commitment to the platform, and to their customers. IMHO, they're worth the wait. Mike

Very sexy. Could use a different buttstovk in my opinion but. Nice looking shottie For a build of this type the Magpul CTR is an excellent choice for ergonomics, comfort, adjustability and its narrow profile. The CSS M4 stock adapter which replaces the factory folder locks up tight in both the open and folded positions with little (as in zero) room to spare when folded. Getting the factory hinge pin out can be a bitch, but once the adapter is installed it fits like factory with no slop or wobble.
