  1. I see what your saying but I kinda dissagree. The Saiga itself is a quality firearm. No diffferent then any other AK. To me its the DIY parts that are so so
  2. Several reasons. Why pay $500 for a Saiga when I can pay $525 for a PAP? I dont like AK looking hunting rifles and I dont want to convert myself. Not intrested in that. I want a professional made AK. Same goes for Vepr. I have a RobArm 5.45 Vepr that they imported several years ago and it was already converted into a AK config.
  3. I dont post often in here so stuff tends to build up. From what I can remember. 1. 10 surp x39 mags 2. 3 VZ58 mags 3. Case of GT x39 4. 2 cases of Wolf x39 5. S&W 66 (mint collectable with box and paperwork and presentation case) 6. Romanian RPK Iraqi contract with bipod and folding stock 7. Hungarian FEG AK47 8. S&W 36 snubby Not even going to count random mags and boxes of ammo Im sure Im forgetting at least 1 Mosin and probably a few other things
  4. Does it have the original ribbed barrel? If the barrel is in good condition maybe a G or slightly over. Original barrels in good condition go for $250ish Does it have a quality US made ribbed barrel? Around $900 +/- Is it a random US made barrel, no ribs? $650 +/-
  5. Got to play with one yesterday at my LGS. $1600 rifle. Its a lot lighter then it looks. Very easy to manuver. Thats the best I could say about it. The folding sights are very thin plastic and the size of silver dollars. Feels like someone used a plastic pepsi bottle to make them. The sights dont automatically latch when folding. There is a sliding tab that needs to be puhed over while holding the sight down. They do however spring up automatically when "opened" The stock is a thinner cheesier version of the FN stock.Operates the same way but it feels so thin and flimsy....almost as if it came
  6. I still dont see how it bans guns. I get it but how many here have ivory handled guns? It makes the ivory illigal not the gun. Take the handles off and thats it. Now as to the value of said gun thats different. There is a potential loss of a lot of money.
  7. This is old news. The article is a little over the top with their headline. Taking away my guns? Really? Im not saying to do anything unlawful but how do you know if you have ivory? I guess if you payed an arm and a leg for the handle it might be but I couldnt tell ivory from plastic. And where does it say you have to report that you have ivory grips? Last time I checked when a gun is sold only paperwork on the gun is done and not on the grips.
  8. Ill sell all my AKs and just stick with ARs before I give my money to CTD
  9. I just want t start hitting "BUY IT NOW" just to fuck with them.
  10. NIce bike! I used to have a 73 CB750, among others. Good job catching them 5 seconds earlier and you would have driven right by
  11. Well if what you just typed is true then surely you can link us to all those tests where the new mag failed. And since we are talking about the new Tapco mag here, not the old one, please only link to tests of the Tapco smooth side mag. Here is a test done I believe by mancat. Near the end he drives over the mag. And here is a test where a guy throws a fully loaded mag at a concrete slab 3 times. It spit out a few rounds and got dinged up but didn't fail. So there's a few good reviews? Im sure I can find a few good reviews on anything. I'll let the company
  12. Why would I throw away $5.99? And since no one buys just one mag why would I throw away $50 - $100? Theres a difference between snubbery and buying shit. Why would you spend your hard earned money on something that has show to fail often? To save $3? I dont like throwing away money. I'd rather spend the extra few dollars and buy mags that I know will last. Or save the extra buck or two but buy twice
  13. There isnt. HK is at about a grand and all the 1911s that are that small tend to be finicky. Everythng else is striker. There is the new Sig 227 whick is a double stack 220 but its new and so far the reviews are 50/50, and the price is close to a grand. Another option is the S&W 3rd gen sub compact 4516 or 457 (the economy version) or the compact 4566 . Not bad guns but no longer in production and while they can take some abuse S&W no longer makes parts for them so keeping parts on hand requires constant searching as they are very popular guns and people snatch up parts when they becom
  14. All my carry guns are police trades, most have trijicon and Im not sure what the USP9 has but it must have been replaced shortly before they replaced the guns cause Ive owned it for 4 years and its still like new. You should never shoot at a silhouette without positive target acquisition/ID. True, but you have to use some common sense. For me, there is no one in my house but me ...so if I see a silhouette of a grown person in the middle of the night it is certainly no one who is welcome
  15. I've never served, so someone please correct me if my thinking is all wrong, but if you're down to your pistol in a combat situation you essentially don't have a gun and may as well start hurling insults and rocks, right? Soo... Since it is probably YOUR life on the line. in a very hail mary moment, just why in the hell can't you carry whatever you want as long as it meets a minimum standard and you pay to own/maintain it? Obviously the military couldn't support 800 different pistol calibers, but if you want a Hi Point 9mm or a $5000 target 9mm, why not? Cops can do this in many jurisd
  16. They forgot to mention when Russia captured and then blew up a ship full of pirates.

  18. If you want me to talk you out of it here is how I look at it..........Do I REALY NEED IT? DO I? How often will I shoot it? Is it just to accumulate guns? Am I really goint to varmint hunt with a 308? To me all those answers are a NO! I could take that $450 and put it towards ammo for guns that I do have and shoot often
  19. One is an accurate new rifle the other is a very well used and then butchered 70 year old Soviet rifle in a fancy Bubba stock. One shoots match bullets out of a new barrel and does 1moa or better all day long the other shoots ammo made to different specs under different quality control standards out of a used and pitted 70 year old barrel and can do a solid 4 moa more or less ...if the ammo is good and the crown isnt to buggerd up. To this day Im surprised that the US military and fed swat havent changed over to Moisins in Archangel stocks!
  20. And then some one will cry that what idiot thought to make X amount of agenciey but only Y amount have arrest powers. Now those who can are being stretched thin. Yea it sure would cut down SWAT.......wait what? How so? Like those 3 dont have their own SWAT or CERT teams. Oh and going from arrest to arrest to arrest because now they are the only ones with that power will mean that most likely they will be going as SWAT only. If they are going to be doing some one elses dirty work you can bet they'll be prepared for the worst. 2 out of 3 of your agencies are DHS (secret service & Border
  21. Seen that photo years ago. It had something to do with Africa
  22. I tried 5 guys. One time was enough, Nothing there that I cant get inthe frozen section of any avg grocery store. The burger was flat and no taste, the hotdog was like a regular store bought hotdog but at the price of the entire package. The fries were ok. I buy cow from farms so I make my own ground beef and my own burgers. Besides that I buy everything else I need from butchers.
