  1. Hi,

          I could swear i had read the story about the S.F. barge on Yahoo about two weeks ago. The slant on that story about the barge  was about how it was designed to house a data collection center and it was designed to be waterborne because it used seawater to keep the sever rooms cooler. The story I read not only had similar "Mystery" photos but also had some basic diagrams to show how the system worked. All speculation of course. The problem that brought the barge to everyone's attention was that apparently the local population was concerned about the power-lines attached to the barge and a local ordinance barring permanent commercial structures on the bay. I looked back to find the story, but my google-fu is not strong today.

  2. Hi,

    the handguard on the ebay site will not work. the s12 forearm attaches differently on a s12 than on the rifles. also looking at the pictures and in the description it lists the stock and forearm as 'airbrushed'. not sure (working off of my phone), but sort of looks like someone might have just done a very nice job of painting an OEM plastic stock. looks like wrong recoil pad on buttstock and different grip area on forearm. apologies if i'm mistaken.

  3. The U.A.E. used outside contractors to design and develop the Caracal. Specificaly Wheilheim (not sure of spelling) Bubitz, Who is tied in with the developement and engineering of the Steyr AUG, Steyr M series and had something to do with the original Glocks. The Caracals were very well designed, highly thought out and well thought of, and were on my list except I'm in NY and they don't import 10 rnd mags for the any version of the pistol.

  4. They work very nicely with the S-12 5 round mags as well. I have also seen them used with the .308 20 round mags too (holds 2, but the top flap secures)

    CTD was recently carrying them for $2.95 in like new condition.( I know, it was difficult for me to believe that CTD would have something that I needed at a reasonable price)

  5.  

    What are the penalties if a NY citizen fails to register one of these? Would it be a misdemeanor charge as it stands now? If it is a misdemeanor especially civil disobedience may be something NYers may want to consider.

    Personally, I take issue when someone tells me to move when discussing gun laws in NY. This is my home and regardless if it is a arrogant tyrant of a Governor or a Nazi zombie invasion I will stay, and I will fight them to the best of my ability.

    Although I have been unable to locate any specific penalties, any misdemeanor is not a good situation especially if it is firearm related. It could (and probably would) negativitly effect ones ability to obtain more firearms or renew the new state mandated pistol permits

    Sorry if I seem like a "Debbie Downer", but from what I've seen in the last couple of weeks it doesn't look like this will quietly resolve itself with anything in the gunowners favor.

    For example, I was informed this week that in NYS one can posses 15oz of pot and it would be considered a violation (basically a ticket) , however, if I have 8 bullets in my pistol it is a misdemeanor (far more serious offense, permanent record, fingerprints, mug: shots, get a lawyer, type offense).

    Just my 2 cents, but any of the "revisions" that Albany is working on will not be good for us at all.

  6. Wait, then what does converting it back going to?

    Maybe Im being a tard.....

    No, not being a tard, point is that reconverting it back to "sportster" mode is pointless. According to the NYS troopers page is that regardless of configuration whether its a sportster or full blown fire breathing, straight from Russia, AK-47, (semi auto only) its the same. The powers that be feel that because it has a detachable magazine and an AK-47 platform it is EVIL, and therefore must be registered. Because if we register these firearms it will prevent bad things from ever happening to good people ever again, and everyone will live happily ever after.
