Glad your surgery went well Indy. The recovery sucks, but you are going to love not being in constant pain! Take advantage of the TLC while you can brother -
Beware of Chinese scammers answering WTB postings, posing as legitimate sellers. No too hard to spot

Thank you Bram Goldman. You were a father when my own father could not be, and the ultimate stand up guy.

Was watching her latest video - the one with her lawyer, where she claims to be a "victim" and then goes on to vow that she will continue to victimize others - and realized Griffin is a classic psychopath. No remorse, no accountability, no concept of consequences. Fakes emotion (terrible actress), cries crocodile tears, and vows to continue to attack her victims again and again without conscience. Really chilling stuff.

The tough part will be forming the steel in the correct ring sizes, and then cutting and welding with a joint fine enough not to be conspicuous in the finished product. Did a quick search for stock from gunsmiths, and didn't find any. However, was able to locate scrap stock from a knife maker which looks like it would work perfectly for wedding bands. Blanks are 1" x 3" including blade cutout, and enough margin on either side for a set of wedding bands from each blank. This stuff will be a bitch to bend, but the price is right. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-Pound-Random-Assortment-Various

Sorry to hear about the lightning strike, Anthony. Man! These things really do provide perspective, and the opportunity for us to count our blessings. -
They're Here.... Kalashnikov USA KS-12
Lone Star Arms replied to Lone Star Arms's topic in LONE STAR ARMS
Covered pricing - at least the price I paid from an internet retailer - in an earlier post. To recap, $805 delivered, and I did not ask for or receive an industry discount. Pretty sure K-USA had no idea who was buying the gun. I really wanted to get an Idea how these would perform right out of the box, and what if any work would be necessary to have them performing optimally. The serial number for the gun I bought was in the high 600 range, and the retailer I purchased from has already sold out and restocked, so at this point in time it looks like K-USA has a decent supply to cover demand -
They're Here.... Kalashnikov USA KS-12
Lone Star Arms replied to Lone Star Arms's topic in LONE STAR ARMS
Gunfun: "good question. I would want to know if the mounting points match dimensionally." The answer to both questions is that the KS-12 is exactly the same as its Russian counterpart with the exception of non-metric threading for the handguard mounting screw. The K-USA handguard mounts in the same way and at the same points as the IZ-109 handguard. The mounting screw is a standard 10-32 flat head socket cap (countersunk). -
I imagine her little stunt will cost her big. 'Over the line' doesn't even begin to describe the depravity of her actions. About time someone (anyone) started to hold left wing fanatics like Griffin accountable . I'm surprised it was CNN, and hats off to them. They did the right thing. https://www.yahoo.com/tv/cnn-fires-kathy-griffin-show-donald-trump-beheading-172722087.html

Totally agree. Very impressed with the quality of manufacture. -

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 -

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. Disclaimer: I am a licensed gunsmith, and I am not in any way recommending this or any other -
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

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
