  1. Well, he had a good run and put out plenty of good music...no one mentioned it last week but you can add Motorhead's drummer Phil Taylor to the list also.
  2. Unfortunately, if you follow the money it's mostly true. As much as I'd like to buy a Turkish HK clone, and as someone who bought a Canik in the not so distant past, Turkey is a large ISIS supporter. I wish that entire part of the world could somehow just fall into the sea.
  3. Definitely on my list to go see. I hope it gives those who were there, and the families of those who died some well deserved media time to get the real story out. All politics aside, it makes me sick to see the shit that Clinton and Holder get away with. Maybe this will put the bitch in the spotlight where she can't hide.
  4. Colt .25 auto. Pretty much a belly gun. Little to no sights and a back strap safety on a mouse gun. Then again, it was given to me when my dad passed and I still own it.
  5. I'll take #5 if still available, and if by K-VAR you mean Arsenal, not Tapco 5. NATO-length K-Var stock - Good condition, holes drilled slightly misaligned (about a 1mm gap from the receiver, can provide pics) - $25
  6. It's all relative to what your (my) income is at a time. As a young, single Tech in 1986 I dropped $700 on a .308 Galil ARM without batting an eye (look at the price of one today), if I had the foresight I would have loaded up on full autos. A few years later, now with a wife that stayed at home to raise our kids it was a treat to buy a cassette tape on payday, several years later my disposable income has freed up a bit and I get what interests me. I was also fortunate enough to have a wife that never bitched or asked how much things were that followed me home. Mostly now I look for bargains a
  7. Dude, you turned me from a Mexi can't to a Mexi can . Chile Rellenos and Beef Enchalada are the two things I judge all Mexican restaurants by, but I can't cook in the kitchen for shit. Followed your thread tonight and crossed over to the other side. Thanks for sharing bud...good stuff!
  8. Watch this Thursday, 7pm et for a glimpse of what this asshat wants to attempt to do next week...
  9. Well then, I'm sure Al Sharpton will come to the rescue any time now...
  10. My brother swears by it to get rid of all the little tiny specs you don't see but you can feel by running your hand across the surface. I can tell you his cars are smooth as a baby's ass. It all depends on how much work your willing to put in to it for a every day driver. I'm not sure it gives you any additional protection, but it has it's merits.
  11. Good to see you guys work with your hands too, having a skilled trade is a good thing and I've always enjoyed it. Here's a picture of the most dumb ass barrel nut design I've seen- my thought was just to torque it down to good AR barrel nut spec, slide the handguard on and just drill and tap new mounting holes. In their infinite wisdom, even though it can only index off four center holes as designed, they drilled the other 8 useless holes all the way through the nut limiting sweet spots to hit.
  12. sccritterkiller, about the only thing I use the old style beam torque wrench for anymore is an inch lb for checking rotational preloads. I could have shit when I purchased the new style that I have now but I work on new vehicles/fleet and with all the aluminum engine components they've gone to a Torque-to-Yield one time use bolt system that uses thread stretch. Torque specs are something like this-torque in order all or some to 20ft/lbs, followed by another pass at 46 degrees of rotation, followed by a final pass at 60 degrees of rotation. This particular wrench does in/lbs, ft/lbs, Nm, and de
  13. This may be an just an exercise for a bit, when the stamps clear it's getting swapped for a short barrel and suppressor which is why I went with the Seekins HG. Upper is a dedicated 9mm from CMMG with whatever 16" barrel they used at the time.Regardless, for now I can get it up and shooting until the time comes but the 30ft/lbs using the Seekins method seems light.
  14. I've seen that some place Boba but I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that by simply rotating the device 90 degrees in effect keeps the torque value correct. That and the fact that my clicky wrench is the $500 Snap On flavor (it beeps, it shakes, reads standard/metric torque and angle) I just wasn't sure if the damn electronics in it didn't effect the way it calculates. Should have mentioned it's on a 9mm blow back so there's no gas tube to index, but it needs to hit the center hole of the three to allow the HG to slip over and bolt in place. To increase the torque, I'd need to add more s
  15. I made the pictured tool to torque a Seekins Precission barrel nut for a AR. The center of the barrel pass through hole to the center of the square drive for the torque wrench is 2". If I have a torque value of 30ft/lbs on the wrench, how do I figure the actual torque value with the additional 2" the tool adds? It's an odd deal, Seekins doesn't give a torque value, they have four groups of three holes (center hole aligns with center on upper receiver). They state to hand tighten to the first hole using shims, and then tool tighten to center hole. In doing that I net 30ft/lbs +/- on my torque
  16. Best of wishes to you and your bride. From what you've shared over the years, you've made a fine family together. (just the simple fact that you posted it on a gun forum shows that you're proud to be where you are in life). Cheers brother
  17. Just saw that, hard to believe that thrasher was 70.....would have loved to see him kick the shit out of Justin Beiber before he went.
  18. Neither AK or AR, looks to have been a .40 or .45 that rolled into my shop today and thought it was interesting ( Christmas in St Louis). 2015 Cherokee. Hits are through the rear lift gate and one through the hood and ended up in the air box.
  19. I bought a Tapco Galil HG years ago and sent it back. If they haven't changed it, I found it to be the most uncomfortable pos I've ever held. The one I'm talking about had some funky grate cover across the top. The K-VAR pictured above isn't bad and feels well made (I have it on one of my S12's). With a bit of work to the rear HG retainer, you can make a real Galil HG fit the 12 and is hands down one of the nicer feeling of shorter handguards.
  20. You might want to search out two of our Finnish members, JumiKuula and PJ. They both did a lot of custom S12 work back in the day and are also active on at least a couple gun forums as competitive shooters in your country. Also try this forum-http://www.toiminta-ampujat.fi/phpBB/ I wish I could be more help, but I have no experience with airsoft and I've never found a great Finnish to English translator. Your country has a lot of great information to offer the gun world.
  21. Paper remark was kind of Tongue-in-cheek referring to the instructions in the manual to "annihilate the paper" the guns were wrapped in. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/41363-new-s12-paper-dangerous/?hl=%2Bannihilate+%2Bpaper&do=findComment&comment=374310
  22. Let us not forget or beloved S12 isn't exactly perfect... through the years, unintentional short barrels, non concentric barrels, broken carriers, so so many issues with the ports, old importer marks scratched out, toxic paper, did I miss anything. They didn't earn the name Vodka special for nothing. Let's see what this thing turns out to be before we judge it.
  23. If you always want to have it, find what you like and stock up. All the stuff in bulk from the Com Block countries can go away in a blink of an eye. Not long ago bulk tins of 7.62x25 was cheap and plentiful, now not so much (if at all). Lesson Learned! 7.62x54r heavy ball is a bitch to find these days as well.
  24. I can tell you from a penetration standard from FMJ, I'd much rather be in a car shot with a .223 than a x39. We get several vehicles in the fleet every year involved in shootings where we've recovered bullets. .223 tends to have minimal penetration where I've seen x39 blow large holes through doors and continue on into or through the other side. Buckshot, I presume at close range, is pretty devastating also.
