Could you freaking imagine a Saiga all done up in "Super Soaker" colors?

People have been using bedliner on guns for years now. However, just on the stock or furniture. I've never heard of someone painting the metal with it.

There is one indispensable tool for dealing with the Walmart ammo case. Bring a laser pointer. It works on cats, dogs, and people in blue vests too. Interesting! I'll have to look for those. Does anyone know if the hulls are better than the Federal Bulk Pack hulls? Once I've decided if my project to convert Fed. Bulk 1 1/8oz #7's and #8's into 1oz slugs works or not, I might try these next. Saving $4 per 100 shells will add up. The only downside is that the Fed Bulk at 1 1/8th oz leaves me with 11 extra slugs per 100 I melt down. These will probably make only 95

https://www.sportsme...ion&key=25-0110 They have some. Not sure if it's the best price though. Me? I like this passive-agressive grudge match with a shotgun club. If you enjoy it, keep at it.

Walmart managers have a huge degree of autonomy to order whatever they want that they think will sell. And if it does sell well, they've got carte blanche to order more. It's one of the more surprising factoids about the ever leaner, meaner, machine that is Walmart. Frankly, when big-box stores, fast food counters, and chain restaurants have universally good service, by thoughtful middle-aged people, and not teens, young part-timers, or retirees making a few extra bucks, that's when I'll be shaking in my boots that the Economic Shit has really Hit The Fan in America.

Well, I'm in the process of converting a case of 100 Federal Wallyworld bulk 1 1/8th oz/3 Dram #8 shot into 1oz slugs and reloading them with my Lee shotshell reloader. So far I have: - Pulled open the crimp to 100 Fed bulk shotshells, and dumped the shot into my Lee #10 production pot, and from that I cast 111 1oz slugs into the 1oz Lee mold. - Stuffed the slugs back into the shot wads where to my relief and delight, they're a perfect fit. - Test crimped a few of them shut with my Lee shotshell loader. Now I just need to find a good spot on my workbench to mount it, or a hardwoo

Same here! Since we do have the drums for the Saiga, and 7.62 drums are everywhere, and there's never really been a mass-produced 5.45 drum, either domestically, or Eastern Bloc that I'm aware of, the quad-stack mag for 5.45 its' definitely the highest priority product. The reasoning makes sense to me. And add a "DO WANT" to the thread here. Hell... 5.45 N76 spam cans are about the only ammo I can afford to feed a drum or a quad stack anymore.

Thanks for reporting this. This is good info to know. I've been worrying Wallyworld Federal bulk pack will be loaded with a powder that is too fast. I'm getting ready to tear a bunch of it partway down, and re-cast the 1 1/8th oz of #8 shot into 1 oz Foster slugs without changing the wad and the powder as a cheap break-in loading, since my range does not allow shot on the rifle line. It's my hope that with the slugs being 1/8th oz lighter than the original shot loads, it'll get down the bore a tad faster and leave plenty of gas to cycle it well.

Oooh. Thanks for THAT picture. Now I'm not so paranoid about "partially obscured" gas-ports, since they may still be unblocked under that chamfer the factory puts in there.

Care to elaborate?? Quad stack rifle mags, mike d talk about them last summer or fall he said back then the quad's would be out before the s-12 double stacks. Ohhh shit that's awesome!! I hope they make a 90 round stick mag I will take one for sure Any word if this is going to be somehow proprietary to the IZ-240? or should it work in any double stack 5.45x39 AK that will work with surplus Comblock mags?

I really hope Gura.. the NRA... somebody gets a court case going that leverages Heller vs. D.C. and strikes the "sporting purposes" clause of GCA 68. Save maybe the single shot and the double, EVERY shotgun design, tube fed/box fed, pump, auto has had "military and police" use in the past going back at least to WWI. The whole thing is really "thoughtcrime" since if you've got a "tactical" style shotgun, the worry is you might start having "tactical" style thoughts I guess.

"The Lost Art of Cut Shells" should be more aptly named "The Lost Art of Living In The Great Depression When People Didn't have Any Damn Money, And Ammo Choices Were Incredibly Limited."

This. Nobody knows. - As imported, Saigas seem to meet the "sporting purposes" criteria as outlined in the report. (No muzzle device, no bayonet lug, no rails, five round magazine, Monte Carlo style stock...) - OTOH, the ATF can hardly be un-aware of what we're doing with the Saiga's once imported. - Adding to the confusion, Izhmash had gone Tango-Uniform around Christmastime, and had just recently bought Molot. - It's unclear if Tula or Bikal would pick up production, or if Izhmash/Molot would come out of whatever passes for bankruptcy/reorganization in Russia and start producti

Ah, thanks. Although the box and the drum must be "movie magic"/props only, since the lift-gate is still clearly visible and would have blocked rounds coming from anywhere but the tube magazine.

I always wondered if whatever shotgun that was in the opening of Alien Nation was a real product that accepted a drum like that or just a prop. I was just thinking/wondering about it the other day too. It looked like a regular pump or auto, but they then switched to the drum when the two detectives interrupted their heist and started shooting through the car they were using as cover. AFAIK, Knoxx didn't come out with their drum conversion until the 2000's, well after the movie came out. And theirs is not switchable on the fly either. I remember first seeing the 12ga Saiga's in CDNN ar

I wish I could take credit for the idea, but I can't. Since last fall there's been a few threads about people converting Federal bulk-pack into slugs. However, some of these people were doing CRAZY stuff like making a wooden jig to expose the last 1/16th of the shell and cut off the crimp with a razor blade, and then sealing the slug in place with RTV silicone caulk. Note that doing this would be pretty controversial on a reloading forum. There's endless debate, and no clear answers as to what the pressure curve of shot vs. slugs are, since the shot might compress in the wad, which m

IMO, breaking in the Saiga is about wear-polishing the internals from use for slicker operation later on. Unless you've got a specific need to test the heavy load setting #1 on the gas regulator which just cuts off the gas a bit so the gun's not over-gassed and cycling too violently, for the most part, I'm thinking a stroke of the action is a stroke of the action. The cycling velocity is probably the same (within the ballpark) between a hot slug that needs setting one, and a mild slug that needs setting 2. If they're getting stuck for you untill you went with after-market gas puck and se

You really should take the time to look first next time, they are mounted differently. http://users.rcn.com/philistine/galil/Galil_Diagram.jpg Looks like it's on the dust cover to me. What am I missing?

Too lazy to look, but I'm pretty sure there are some AK variants, like Galils or Valmets that have rear dustcover sights, and while their original production tolerances might be be tighter than Russian, I'm sure they'd be just as prone to loosening up, if they were going to, under the rigors of military use and maintenance. If it's acceptable for combat accuracy in a rifle, it's more than fine for a smoothbore, shot or slugs.

LOL... I just did this last Thursday, and didn't realize it until yesterday. Figure I'll just try to trade it, or sell it to someone with a 20ga for $20 and take the $2 hit.

Is this going to be a movie based off the "Army of Two" game? http://p3anut.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/932860_20070711_screen0041.jpg

I don't know that it's "crap", but for the 100 round bulk packs, everything I've read on multiple forums does indicate people have significantly more problems with the Walmart Winchester 100 round packs than the Walmart Federal 100 round packs. The 25 round AA Winchester is great, but the bulk pack stuff seems very inconsistent. The Federal bulk has been 100% reliable for me. It's pattern is not as even as premium AA, judging by the number of clay birds I dust rather than break at the trap range, but functionally it's fine.

Same here!

Anyone here tried the mohawk, feathers, football pads, and chunks of truck tires method yet?

Don't know you, sir. But I'll bet that many of us would be grateful if you didn't... 37 years old, 6' even, 250 lbs, and lots of hairy Scottish, Finnish, and Polish ancestry, red hair, blue eyes, which means I'm pasty as a freshly dug up grub... you have no idea. You know though... that might be a great business model. People PAYING me to stay OFF of television.
