  3. Found synthetic 308 new for $330

    in Saiga .308

    Posted

    Just a heads up for you all. I was at the gun show at the Orlando fairgrounds today and this one dealer in the main building had new synthetic 308's for $330.

     

    He was in one of the corners, up against a wall. If I am not mistaken it was in the east end of the building.

    roflmao.gif Man some of you guys are funny. Posts here and there saying how lame it is when the two makers of the 10 rounders haven't said boo and no updates.

     

    So here is Illumini giving us an update, not news, but an update and he's catching flack for it. doh.gifshakinghead.gif

     

     

    I appreciate the update Illumini, thank you.

    Guns of the World

    Guns of the Russian Military.

    Tune In: Wednesday, May 3 @ 11pm ET/PT

     

    Forged in Europe's shadow, Russian small arms were once dismissed as crude copies. Often lacking the finish of Western counterparts, Russian guns have been battle-proven worldwide, with their emphasis on robustness and simplicity of design. Review the long history of Russian small arms--from Peter the Great to the Cold War. TVPG

    :up: Indy.

     

    I am pretty much a lurker here with most all of my few posts at the 12 forum. The reason I bring that up is because I have only a couple handfuls of posts, maybe my post here will fall upon deaf eyes. Also the reason I don't post often is simply because I am not nearly as knowledged to answer the posts as most everyone else.

     

    Indy brings up great points; comraderie, educating, and DECENCY.

     

    If someone is that much of a P.O.S. that they're gonna take advantage of someone and then get all dickey when someone points out the deal, go over to eBay and charge $50 for s/h on a domestic 1 lb. package.

     

    I am an educated buyer, but if I didn't know, I'd appreciate someone looking out for me.

     

    Also on that note, I agree with vulcan762; maybe this would've been handled a bit better via PM. No offense meant Indy.

  11. Where did the mags go?

    I won't support Tapco because I wouldn't want to take any money away from Z1500 who is the man.

    Tapco? Yawn...

     

    I agree with you almost completely. Ian and/or Kevin will get my money way before Tapco would... I always have and will support the "small guy".

     

    But, having another option available is never a bad thing.

  13. Woot!! 10rd mags almost done!

    Thanks Z1500.

     

    I am sure you have decided on your production method, and I am glad you went the better way.

     

    Put me down as one who'll pay more for more quality.

     

    I am one who'll pay more for quality in whatever I purchase whether it be a lawn mower, a pencil, whatever, but when it comes to a magazine for something that needs to be reliable, I can't even believe some folks would rather pay less for less of an item.

    Anyone shoot slugs out of thier S-12's?

    Thanks,

    Doug

     

    I shoot mostly slugs or 00.

    3" magnum slugs are awefully fun.

     

    Just make sure you set your gas setting to #1 for the magnum slugs. I didn't and it deformed the rear trunion block. Thanks to Cobra 76 two for troubleshooting that for me a few months back.

  17. Help with the guide spring guide slot

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    That was most likely caused by shooting magnum loads on the wrong gas setting (2).

    When you do that the bolt slams into the rear trunion block with enough force to deform the steel around that slot. Just take a small file and open up the front edge of the slot where it has been mangled. I would suggest a recoil buffer to avoid further damage and only shoot magnums on the #1 gas setting.

     

    Thank you Cobra, yeah I shoot a lot of 3" Magnum slugs. I will also take oyur advice about the recoil buffer and the #1 setting.

     

    Thanks again.

     

    What loads do you use #2 for?

  20. IM pretty bummed guys

    Yep, thieves suck. Sorry for the loss of your weapon.

     

    I don't mean the following as a flame or anything of that nature;

     

    When I have any of my weapons in my vehicle, I am ultra paranoid. I installed a lock box in the floor of my extended cab in my truck. Even when my CCW pistol is in there and I am not in the truck, my thoughts are always on that pistol being in that truck.

     

    I have a friend I shoot with on occasion, we were at an indoor range one day with another friend and when we finished up we planned on going to lunch. My first buddy said loudly enough where we were gonna meet for lunch in the store area. We got out to the parking lot and I pointed out his screw up and we changed lunch locations. Nothing like advertising where a bunch of firearms are going to be while you're not there for 45 minutes.

     

    My firearms are my responsibility and I want to make sure they are as safe as can be for a couple of reasons; I don't want to be out a bunch of money even though none of my firearms are anything special, I also don't want to be indirectly responsible for any one getting hurt because of my carelessness.

     

    Again, please don't read any flaming in my post, that isn't my intention.
