  1. The warrior angel is the symbol for Jim Fuller's Rifle Dynamics custom shop here in Las Vegas. When this custom AK was completed six years ago, the original owner (a coworker of mine) did not have the warrior angel etched on it. When the gun was completed, I told my friend give me the opportunity to buy it from him if he ever wanted to sell it. Three weeks ago I got the call and bought it the next day. That same day I dropped off the AK to have the warrior angel added. Here are some quick cell phone pix of this beauty.
  2. How can you ignore the folding stock benefit of a S308? I started out from the get go and had Rifle Dynamics add the folding stock and flash hider/muzzle break. Any review of a S308 wiith out a folding stock is not a good review to begin with.
  3. I pick up items from E93 when they have a blem sale. Their quality control is at such a high standard it makes the blems a super deal and you have to look hard to find what they consider a blemish. I picked up some V2's for $10 each and once mounted you could not tell the difference from a full price model. Just have to check the website for the next blem sale.
  4. I have greater spacing between my slots so it still has strong supports between the cuts. Works great for cooling.
  5. Zero play or wobble for my magazines once locked in. When the magazine locks in there is no "click" the way my surefire magazines sound, the mag catch simply slides on and holds tight. I do have to slightly file the mag catch edge down and/or smooth the magazine rear lug as the mag catch "bites" hard against the magazine making the removal of the magazine a little more difficult than it should be. The magazines do drop free, install tight and no wobble, so far so good for me.
  6. Order placed, a couple mags making the trip to the sin city.
  7. A benefit of pulling the barrel for threading it is to also recrown the end for more accuracy. And you will also have the added benefit of being able to change out the flash hider or muzzle break at a later time when you want to by just unscrewing it (provided it was not soldered or welded on of course).
  8. I will be looking for these when they are ready, no rush because I can wait for a quality product. I am tired of being extra careful in the handling and training with the 100% plastic shurefire ones. Will there be any forum discount for early purchases? I know many people that don't know about these non plastic magazines that I can inform to help out your business.
  9. Yup, battlecomps are big time performers with a price tag. I was told the material they are made of and the high detail in the number of ports that a cutting bit only last long enough to make three of them before they have to replace the bit. But at a cost of about $170 - $200 for a S308 is a bit much for me to shell out.
  10. I forgot to mention the rear sight is a "Fullerized" rear sight. He opens up the knotch for easier / faster sight picture and rounds off the corners to help prevent it from hanging up on equipment and eliminate sharp edges.
  11. Out with the 300m sight in with a more realistic 1000m sight. The range I shoot at has 200, 300, 400 & 500 iron targets set up so now I can aim at them instead of guessing as I was with the 300m sight. Out with the old safety, in with a Krebs safety. The bolt hold open feature is something I like for additional cooling and when walking around the range a bolt open or flag is required, so this takes care of that. The Krebs has a built in "shelf or lip" (above the trigger) that allows you to manipulate the safety on and off while maintaining a firing grip on the pistol grip. Fin
  12. 16" will be perfect for your needs.
  13. I need to take different pics someday. This is a rifle dynamics product out of Las Vegas, your current wait will be about 6 months. I just added a Arsenal 2 stage trigger, and a Krebs safety, both items maded the rifle even better.
  14. I had the elite with a BDR reticle mounted on my FNAR. The scope is very good and especially at that price for an incredibly clear scope with a bright and crisp view. It always held a zero the two years I owned it and I would recommend it.
  15. Delrin is still plastic. It's actually weaker than 30% glass reinforced nylon in many important ways. Still, DuPont says their Delrin has a yield strength of 10,000 psi. A half-inch section of Delrin would, I believe, sustain a load of about 2000 pounds before deforming. True, but if you I mention "plastic" then thoughts of fragile plastic pens and plastic model airplanes might come to mind. "Delrin" gives a better idea of its strength as compared to simply saying "plastic", especially for someone that has not had the opportunity to examine a ACE stock in person. I was not trying to
  16. Just for clarification - I called the top skeleton bar "plastic" but the real material is a polymer Delrin.
  17. Just get the longest stock you can find. This way you can cut the length to fit you instead of having to use what they make. One bar is plastic and the other bar is aluminum. Super easy to remove the stock from the hinge block, each tube has a roll pin you push out with a punch. Take a hacksaw and cut the stock to your LOP, redrill two new holes for the rollpins and reattach to the block. Both guns below had the same stock length to begin with. The top pic shows no modification and the bottom shows where I cut off some length (distance from hinge to the small vertical bar between t
  18. It is not a problem to the shooter, I can't feel it on my chest or face when I shoot.
  19. Yup, its the $99 PWS muzzle device. http://primaryweapon...30&idcategory=6 This is the linky for the FAL version I have on my S308 but there are other sizes and thread pitches avaliable.
  20. I choose to go with the 16" S308. I have a LTR bolt gun for very long range, I have a EBR (modern M1A in sage chassis) for long range and fast semi auto shooting. But the S308 is my compact very rugged iron sighted durable truck gun, it is the workhorse of my various 308's that I like to shoot. The flash hider/compensator does a great job at handeling any of the muzzle flame and keeps the muzzle flip down to less than you would get from an AK x39 using a slant break. Barrel has been recrowned for accuracy and length is 16.25". I can get in and out of vehicles with no problem, clear a roo
  21. PWS hider/compensator on my S308, very pleased with performance. It is not a sound "loudener" like a slant brake is. Underside of same device but on different gun, as I have this device on my combloc rifles.
  22. R1M1 headstamp SA stuff is good to go. I have about six battlepacks with a $32 pricetag still on them, ahhhh the good ole days of .22 cents a round.
