  1. On their website they state that on the 16" rifles you can't cut off the tang for legal reasons (eg. Too short overall length). Since they don't make a product that rectifies that they basically contradict their own claim that it will fit most all the saigas. That tang looks like it could inflict some serious hurt. This being observed, I still think it is great that people continue to innovate and offer new products for the Saiga.
  2. This was not written by an intern,they aren't that jaded yet. Most of us who work in an ER know the BS stories even before they start. With the advent of narcotic prescription reporting and centralized pharmacy records, drug seekers will find the ER a disappointment.
  3. I would hazard a guess that there was more to it than that. By filming in a foreign country, they would avoid having to use union employees and paying those wages and benefits. That would save them a bundle.
  4. How would this save the government money? From my perspective, many would leave knowing the benefits were no longer there. The military would then have to train new folks (assuming they were available). The cost of training an aviation mechanic for instance, and keeping them current on training is not cheap. Sure you could hire contractors but that would cost more in the long run. The military has the advantage of being able to pay very little and control to a high degree, a very highly trained, dedicated workforce. This move could potentially put an end to that.
  5. You shouldn't join the military for the pay. You join because you want to serve your country, because it is the right thing to do. That is what I was always taught and what I believe.
  6. They are worth the wait. What you pay is a bargain considering the expertise and experience you get in the build.
  7. I suppose that depends on how nice the m1 is and how much you think it's worth. On the surface it sounds pretty decent. Just my 2 cents though.
  8. Nice to see creativity and hard work paying off. Hat's off to you.
  9. Well, if it's true that ought to be interesting, or maybe April 1st has something to do with this post?
  10. Might be best not to advertise what you do or don't have. Low profile in that kind of situation is the name of the game.
  11. I suppose he is living by the rock and roll adage, "It's better to burn out, than fade away." What amazes me is his grandiose sense of entitlement. Hollywood must really mollycoddle those people.
  12. Utility and low profile would be my preference in a SHTF situation. My preference would be a duffel bag that is watertight, has the rolling wheels, and also backpack straps in case you are covering ground that does not allow you to drag it. I am not a one-man-army. I harbor no illusions that in that kind of situation I would avoid confrontation and keep away from the sheeple. Disasters and bad situations can bring out the worst in people and that is when bad things happen. Anyone that has humped a 100 pound load any distance will tell you that #1 it ain't easy, #2 Even with training, you can't
  13. Ditto on what Pvt Pablo said. Go to the Cabela's in Lacy, they sell pistol gripped shotguns. It is all about the overall and barrel length of the gun. No SBSs or SBRs. You can own a suppressor but you can't put it on your gun. You also cannot have a full-automatic weapon.
  14. Another vote for Tromix. Simple, tough, works every time, in keeping with the AK doctrine.
  15. Nice, tough little guns. My dad also has a security-six that has taken many a deer. I have a GP-100 that is rock solid. I read now that Ruger is making a LCR in .357. Those have an amazing trigger pull.
  16. For the range that those pistols are use for, the enhanced accuracy you get from single action is not really a factor. The thing with the Ruger is that the trigger pull is so smooth and consistent, better accuracy is inherent. That was the reason I bought one. You would be well-served with either pistol though.
  17. Have you thought about Ruger LCR? Dead nuts reliability of a wheelgun that weighs 13.5 oz and shoots .38 +P and has a really smooth trigger pull. Might get one of those myself. They have been around now for about a year with no problems, you can pick one up without turning into a beta-tester for Ruger.
  18. My dad had one, killed many a deer in Alaska. Pretty reliable as well. Problem with them nowadays is that replacement parts are hard (if not impossible) to come by.
  19. Have a 2002 WRX, thing runs like a top. My dad has a 2003 WRX wagon with 180,000, runs like a top. There is talk of Subaru bringing their diesel to the states. They put it in their Forester overseas and it gets nearly 40mpg. We'll see what they do here to comply with the new mileage regulations.
  20. Have a Henry .44, smooth action, nice weight in the barrel, would opt for something other than brass though. My dad has the Browning BLR in 30-06, nice as you can get, the mechanics of it really are that of a bolt action. It's nice to be able to take down and transport. There is an outfit in Anchorage that turns the Marlins into breakdowns, smooths out the actions, etc. I think they call it the "Bush Pilot."
  21. Interesting that anyone would make such broad sweeping statements like,"a great percentage of the medical field are not honest, and do not do the honorable or fair things when it comes to your health." without any evidence to back it up. Personal experiences are different than evidence. As for the people in the medical field are concerned, I find most to be honest to a fault. Patients often don't want to hear the truth of things. People are suing health care providers and whining that they were told they were overweight and their feelings were hurt. As Georgia PD has said in previous posts, th
