The problems that I have run into are: (1) We have many hundreds of great pics on this board, but most are not big enough in mega-pixles. (2) The print shops want pics in certain aspect ratios, that are either taller than they are wide, or are close to square. They envision pics of the grand kids, not shotguns. (3) The print shops want to do piddly little 8.5"x11" calendars for $30 each. I will not go for calendars smaller than the 13"x19" Wal-Mart specials. Sorry, this will not be ready for January, 2011. I've got lots to do, so the calendar is on indefinite hold.

I'm ordering a test of the calendar today. I'll probably change several pic when I see it on paper. I do not think this will be the calendar everyone wants. I'm trying, but I get the feeling that I am failing. I'm trying to set up shutterfly so everyone else can see the calendar, and order one if they want. We'll see if I can get that to work.

Do you have a date? I thought of the same thing, but did not see a date. I love all your pics, but need them larger than the 1024x768 that I have right now. About 3MP or larger would be good. I could make a calendar of just your pics. Send them to me in a message on the board.

I'm looking for dates to add on the calendar. The anniversary of Lexington & Concord (4/19) Pearl Harbor (12/7)

I love many of the pics that I have asked permission to use, but I have learned that the ideal pic is 3 mega-pixels or larger, and is square-ish to fit a calendar, as opposed to the more stretched long-and-skinny shape of most shotguns. That means I will not be able to use most of the pics that I asked permission to use. I'm sending another round of messages, asking for permission to use other pics, and to ask if some of my favorite (but too small) pics are available in a larger size.

I got it. I didn't reply to every message I got granting permission. I asked a lot of people, and got more "YES" messages than I thought. THANKS!!! Just because I asked permission, does not guarantee someone's Saiga will be in the calendar. I should have a rough draft posted this weekend. Something was asked that I had not thought through until now: some people want their logo or board handle on their pic. That's cool. Others want to be anonymous. That's also cool. Either way, I'll message the finalists later this weekend and ask what credit (if any) they want.

I'm only using Saiga-12s in this calendar. They can be any Saiga-12, but they must be Saiga-12. I'm not even going to use a pic with a stray pistol in the corner.

Do you have a bigger copy of it?

Not free. I'll put togeather the design I want, and pay to order me one. If anyone else wants one, they will have to pay the printing and shipping. I will not be collecting money, nor will I make a cent on this. I can set up a PDF of the calendar, and give it away here on the board. Anyone will be free to print one - no royalties. I can also upload it to one or more print shops, so anyone who want a printed copy can pay the print shop for printing and shipping to get a copy. My original idea was to do one for myself, but I figured it was so easy to upload the PDF, and to l

I'd like to include the pic: https://www.mdarms.com/images/md3.jpg in our new Saiga-12 calendar. The calendar is discussed at: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=60522 Assuming you grant us permission to use this pic (in a calendar,) do you have a higher resolution copy? Thanks in Adavance!

Can we get permission from the owner of Saiga-12.com for http://saiga-12.com/images/AK_Saiga_Folding_Stock.gif ?

I've noticed that you can upload your pics and get a custom calendar made: http://www.shutterfly.com/calendars http://www.lulu.com/publish/calendars/?cid=us_pubpage_calendars So, I started collecting pics off Saiga-12.com for a calendar. If anyone wants to suggest a pic, please post it below. (Please get permission from the guy who took the pic; we don't need silly copyright problems!) I'll make my calendar available so anyone can order a copy. EDITED TO ADD: I have discovered that the ideal images are 3 mega-pixels, or larger. Also, they need to be more square-is

I'll try to answer the original poster's questions: Q1: Why not leave the factory plug on the maximum setting? A1: Because that would "over-gas" your shotgun. The bolt carrier would slam into the back of the receiver, and damage the gun eventually. To adjust your factory gas regulator: Start with the "1" on the gas regulator next to the detent you push to turn it. It should click in place. This is position 1. It lets the least gas through your Saiga, for the hottest loads. Test a few rounds. If they all feed, leave it on 1. If the rounds do not cycle, move it to position 2. This will

Actually, it said: "We would like to thank all of you for another great year and are looking forward to 2011!! This will be a great year for MD Arms and our customers. We will have several new products available including our long awaited double stack 12 gauge magazines for your Saiga shogun!" Double stack magazines in 2011. Right now the Molot style grips are only $6.00 as well. Good deal. Ick! You are correct. Here's what Mike's email to me actually said:

http://www.Paint-Ball-Sentry.com It's not rugged enough to be used with real guns, or it would be illegal. The mount does a good job with a $28 Wal-Mart BB gun. I am trying to get the software to work, but it crashes when I try to open a video feed on my (much abused) XP desktop. I'm guessing a total kit with a BB gun that can hit targets will cost $600-$1,000. The kit they sell is only the beginning of your purchases.

EDITED: The email I got from MD Arms today said they should have double stack mags sometime in 2011. Sorry, I thought it said "over the holidays" but it said "in 2011."

I got an email saying that MD Arms was once again running a sale - $80 for a MD20 drum. I checked at www.MDArms.com and sure enough, 20 round drums for $80. EDITED: The email also promised double stack stick mags sometime in 2011.

As discussed here: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=59309&st=0 The often cited 922r is clarified in 27 CFR part 478, section 478.39: http://frwebgate1.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/TEXTgate.cgi?WAISdocID=uIbkjo/0/1/0&WAISaction=retrieve This is where the 10 or less foreign parts rule come from: Code of Federal Regulations] [Title 27, Volume 3] [Revised as of April 1, 2010] From the U.S. Government Printing Office via GPO Access [CITE: 27CFR478.39] [Page 36-37] TITLE 27--ALCOHOL, TOBACCO PRODUCTS, AND FIREARMS CHAPTER II--BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, FI

Seeing as I've been to law school, worked a various legal jobs including in a firm that deals regularly with agency regs (albeit it a different agency and a different subject matter)and for my state legislature I don't think I need your challenge. It is abundantly clear you don't know even the first thing about administrative law. You cannot even use the terminology correctly so don't challenge me to understand things when you clearly do not. Have a good day. I am sorry that I offended you. Now that I have re-read your post, I see that I misread it the first time. I appologize.

Don't insult me because you don't have a basic working understanding of the law and government. I was trying to be nice and explain things to you but I see no need now not to just laugh at your ignorance. I'm sorry that I offended you. I was trying to challenge you to try to understand the law, as written. Slaves follow rules without daring to ask for clarification, hoping their masters will not beat them. Free men demand to know what the laws are, and demand a role in deciding what the rules are. 99% of Americans are good slaves. They will plead guilty to a traffic ticket, without ever

I have noticed the irony ... of my starting this thread asking why the panic, ... then getting very annoyed over the lack of clarity. Personally I think it is better to say that they are part and parcel. If you have statute A that says you cannot build something then regulation B defines what build means in statute A. Whatever that definition in B is can be thought to be incorporated into A. Every statute is made of words. Words have inherent vagueness. what those words mean is often to be found in another source (comman usage, case, law, another statute, a regulation, etc)

If all you are trying to say is that the 10 parts rule is not written explicitly into the text of the statute then you are correct. It is a regulation that relates to that statute. The statute says you cannot assemble. The regulations defines assembling. So 922r really does contain rule in the sense that if you do not abide by it you are in fact violating 922r. The definition of assemble just is not expressly written out there, but the word assemble which stands for its definition is in the statute. After much research, my point has changed to: Calling the 10 part count law 922r is inco

First, thanks for clarifying. As I see it, the claim that section 922r (of any law) contains the 10 parts rule is an incorrect urban legend. The actual citation may have been 27CFR178.39. That's Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 178.39. (The problem is that I also need a "part" to cite the current CFR.) For example, Title 27 CFR, Part 1 (or 2, or 199,) Section 178.39. At http://thegunwiki.com/JustTheLaw/RefFedCFR178_39 it says: Which means that is a copy of the CFR as was in 2002, as it appeared in a government archive that was accessed in 2010. I don't se

I don't think anyone answered the above question, just gave work-arounds. I see lots of AK parts kits would barrels. I think barrels are banned from importation. I think you're screwed. Sorry.
