you're welcome. and it's not much of a project to make that drum for me, I have made quite a few 7.62x25 PPS drums, so I have it down pat, it's just very time consuming and exacting work. I have about 1mm of play in lining up everything, otherwise it won't feed. this will be the same method, the only additional thing I have to do is to put a 4.5 mm spacer in the front inside of the feed tower to take up the space for the 9x19mm round.

got you, sounds like it is very doable, I have a idea of what you might use a adapter, it will be wide enough for the drum tower and that you can attach the rear mag locking mechanism and mill out the front lug catch, and will be rock solid when attached to the bottom of the cut down MKA mag....... a large and thick rectangle piece of aluminum stock. it will be soft enough where you can drill out the middle of it the same size as the SAIGA drum feed tower and the bottom of MKA mag, slot the back for the mag latch, and there would be no need to do any welding. a very strong epoxy can be

what I got from your describing it, you want to make a adapter so it goes into the MKA mag well, so that you can just lock the drum, without any modification to it other then take the steel feed lip. if that is the case; so how are you going to keep the shells in the drum when you are loading it? that steel feed lip you want to take off is what holds the shells in the drum. you take that thing off, there is nothing keeping the shells in. only way I see a adapter to work the way you want it to, is if you separate the upper and lower receiver and load the shells in through the mag we

some one made one for their MKA, pretty straight forward, mated a 5 round MKA to a drum using a epoxy. I did one for the mag well SAIGA, using a 10 round PROMAG drum. what I used was a strong epoxy, J-B WELD, to mate the cut down mag to the drum. go ahead and laugh, but J-B WLD that is some strong epoxy, after it cured and harden I took the drum and hit the mag well hard against the edge of a table, and it was like it was one piece. the most critical thing is that the feed tower has to be cut perfectly straight across and that you align the opening of the cut drum to the bottom of th

for me, I like the REMINGTON hollow point ammo that is brass jacketed, unlike exposed lead rounds the bullets doesn't get dinged up and the brass reduces lead build up in the barrel. comes in 525 round boxes. functions great in my GSG and STG .22

the 26inch and 16 or 18 inch barrel length is for rifles and shotguns so they don't fall in the NFA category. I don't believe there is a certain barrel length or OAL or a combination of both for a pistol to have or not have. just that it's built on a "virgin receiver" or a receiver that was made by the manufacturer specifically as a pistol receiver, like some AR lowers, and has no forward grip, and that there is no way that a stock can be attached to it. back when the 94 ban was still in effect, it specified that a pistol couldn't weigh so much, this affected all "evil pistols",

ah, the stupidity of youth . I hear you, been there done that myself. the good thing about getting older, for some people , is 1) you learn from your stupidity and don't fall into the same hole, again 2) you think things through from different angles, rather then jump without looking or thinking. I admit that I also went overboard and racked up some $$$$$$$ on the card when I was young dumb and full of cum, and became indebted to them. but after paying if off to zero. it didn't scare me off from still using it for purchase etc... I just became smart about it and more financia

CC are the greatest consumer protection you can ever have. you don't have to beg a company to send the product or your money back and get all stressed out and pissed and come on a gunboard asking what to do. if the company wants to play stupid games, by not sending you what you bought, you just calmly call up the CC company explain it to them and they'll be more then happy to do a charge back on that weasel of a company (remember boys and girls, it's the CC company's money you are using, and they don't want to lose it). so you aren't out a penny. and for good measure the CC company

the key point is the receiver (which is the firearm) that determines the classification of either a rifle or pistol. if you are building your parts kit on a "virgin receiver" (a receiver that was never assembled as a rifle ) then you can build this as a pistol. you can't dismantle a rifle and use that receiver for a pistol build, as it would be a SBR. so before I go and buy that receiver, especially from a private individual, I would make it absolutely certain that it is a true "virgin receiver", and not a receiver that was assembled as a rifle and he stripped it.

calling the lottery a "investment" is like calling a prostitute a virgin.

I can take anything and twist it to sound like it was a conspiracy or a "cover up". just take a kernel of truth (the incident) and wrap it up with fabrication. those that believe in conspiracies anyway they will gravitate to it like a moth to a flame and swallow it hook, line and sinker.

the only winner in lotteries is the state. I call lotteries the "stupid people tax", and there are a lot of stupid people out there waiting in line to give the state money they don't have to.

I see your problem, if you don't; don't buy a little, buy a lot, and you won't have that problem of running out. now is the time to buy it cheap and stock it deep.

and best of all no drama. your stick family decal is the same as mine

I'm willing to bet that Captain Hero and LuPiN8oR old ladies have this stick family decal on their cars

can't help you on the brush, as for patches take a old tee-shirt and cut it up and make your own. as small as .22 patches are, you probably can get a couple hundred + from one tee-shirt a couple years ago or so, there was a vendor at the show selling the large USGI 50 cal patches for something like 1.50 for a large bundle. everybody else looks to buy a specific caliber patches so no one was buying those. I offered to buy all he had for 50 cents a bundle, and he had a lot, he was happy with that. whenever I need patches for a specific caliber, I just stack up 3 or 4 patches and cut

wow, that's a new one on me, not a issue here in NE Ohio. maybe people are "panic buying" gun cleaning supplies where you are. which given how people are, it would not surprise me in the least but, I don't see how patches would be in short supplies, you can cut up almost any cloth to make them. and in a pinch, I have even use BOUNTY paper towels, surprisingly they work pretty good just as good as cloth ones. you know the patches that comes with HOPPEs, and other cleaning kits? to me they feel like dryer sheets

most especially the foreign import ammo, ie. 7.62/5.45x39, 54r etc.... those are subject to possible ban imports

Thats no deal, you can buy them all day at the Ammunition Store for $199.00 1000 rds. well yeah, when you dig up a dead thread from over a year ago (nearly 14 months old), when ammo was very, very pricey it doesn't sound like a deal now, but it was back then. you have to look at the date these post were originally written.

whoa, I wonder if this is the same guy that went by the handle RUSELLER??? RUSELLER first name was Andrei, but it isn't hard to fake another name. he was active on GUNBROKER and a few garboards including this one. if he is that same guy, he ripped off a lot of people several years ago. he started out as a upstanding person with good feedback and everybody recommended him to buy AK/SVD etc,,, parts and accessories, but then people started not to get anything they bought and he quit responding to e-mail (sound familiar? pauley). he left a lot of broke folks in his wake, to the tune

PPS-43C pistol in 9mm for 314 dollars shipped, should arrive at my FFL sometime next week.

sometimes what you want isn't available. I modified a lot of gun accessories, mags, loaders etc... from what is out there because nobody makes or will make what I want. yeah, I agree there is no need to put toilet paper in the drill press, toilet paper as it is works just fine, so no need to go modifying that

get em' while the getting is good and prices are good.

I can't see why you couldn't do something like that for yourself, if you want. a drill press with the appropriate size drill bit would do the job. all it would take is to lay out 8 shells, get a piece of paper and mark the paper at interval at the middle of every other shell or every 3rd, then just transfer that to the back of the mag, taking into account the measurement of the rear follower "tail" easy peasy lemon squeeze

same here, besides a couple of drums, I have quite a few stick mags in different capacity. but for shits and giggles I would get 1 maybe 2 as a "something different". myself I would go with the dinged mag, I am not that anal retentive that something like that would bug the hell o of me. would be cool, but I'm betting it would cost a bit more to add that feature, and of course it will get passed on to the buyer
