Apex has German, Polish and Romanian covers (ribbed and smooth) for anywhere from $15-22.

Yeah, messy wounds, huh...

She survived a freaking HEADSHOT with it, people. This is really what you're planning on using when in a defensive situation with someone possibly returning fire? Nice thought...especially when it turns out the other guy has a .45.

Try Dupli-Color DE1634, Low gloss black, high temp paint, I have used it to touch up my Saiga.
That's exactly what I used to completely refinish both of mine. Perfect color and once completely cured, very tough.

I just went with the file, and it was not bad at all. I found it was better to be on the slightly tight side than the loose side. The HG itself can be fitted slightly if the notch ends up being a touch close, but you can't really do anything about a loose fit. It any case, the notches turned out perfectly anyway.

It amazes me that people argue for using the wimpiest round possible to defend their family - but demand the most lethal round available for hunting.
AMEN.

I can't think of anywhere on my body I could take a 4" x 4" hole and still feel frisky
Even with a vest on the bad guy aint getting up to fast.I can't think of anywhere on my body I could take a 4" x 4" hole and still feel frisky
It's hard to be a threat when your busted up ribs are poking into your tattered lungs.
3", I dont think a bad would get up at all.

...and sometimes they do.
I'm sorry, the video posted is far from convincing. Yes, it is a nasty wound. And a shallow one. I like his videos too, but that one is anything but conclusive. I don't understand why people are so obsessed with getting by with the bare minimum on this subject. Buckshot = vital organs and CNS damage. Birdshot = messy, shallow wounds. Funny how nobody would even consider using birdshot on deer or other like-size game, but when it comes to self defense it's good enough for the job. To each their own I guess...
A quote from the link you posted
"In addition to the problems with their handguns, other issues were brought up in the aftermath of the shooting. Despite being on the lookout for two violent felons who were known to use firearms during their crimes, only two of the FBI vehicles contained shotguns (in addition to Mireles, McNeill had a shotgun in his car, but was unable to reach it before the shootout began)" The FBI guys never used a shot gun at close range.
Your point?
Matix (one of the perps) fired his shotgun with birdshot at one of the agents where it only superficially wounded one of the agents before he took a shot to the head and was knocked unconscious... but I think his posting of the incident was more to bring up the fact that Platt was severely injured by wounds that normally would 'take the fight out of' or otherwise grievously wound someone beyond the ability to fight back. You want to get to the heart, the lungs, the brain, the spine, and the large arteries with as much damage as you can as quickly as you can. Birdshot can't do that reliably while larger buckshot diameters can.
That's EXACTLY what I was getting at. Thanks.

This is true. Deer usually aren't returning fire.

I just bought a crate of this stuff... I was surprised to hear air suck in when I opened one and then I caught the smell of "fresh" lacquer... I am going to seal 30 round packs with my kitchen vacuum sealer... Will this remove moisture well enough or should I still use a dessicant pack?
You really don't need to worry about moisture with these. Lacquer coating and moisture seals at the case neck and primer make these pretty much impervious to moisture. The vacuum by itself is more than enough.

I never hear anyone mention cleaning their mags after using corrosive... Even polymer mags have springs, so should they be cleaned with water as well? On another note... I read of people running home as fast as they can to clean up after firing the stuff... What about all the countless armies using it during countless battles.... WHAT DID THEY DO???? I can't see them stopping every couple of hours to clean their rifles... How did they prevent their rifles from becoming rust buckets? Maybe they had a secret that is overlooked today...
That's why they started chrome lining barrels.

I believe the ones Century sells are Tantal mags (this was true the last time I checked), which are fine whether they're polymer or ribbed steel. The Tantal polys are identical to Bulgarian mags.
-
Use some PB on it. Mine were stuck on both my rifles, and after letting it soak in for a night they moved fine.
-
I'm pretty sure Cope's has the rest of the parts for that. Those are Polish, but they should be interchangable.
Yep, just checked - search "tantal stock" on Cope's site and you should get what you need.

It is a great scope. On my 5.45, my groups rival my buddy's .308 700SPS with a scope costing over 3x the price.
Price is right, but I just bought a trs25.
I have that as well. The TRS-25 is nearly as accurate at 100yds as the Centerpoint, so you're not missing out on much.

You can't "neutralize" a salt. A salt is the result of a reaction between a base and an acid. You can only dissolve/remove a salt, which is why hot water works the best.
-
I run boiling water down the barrel and gas block, follow that up by scrubbing both out with dish soap, then rinse that out with more boiling water. I finish up with a dry patch, then a patch with Breakfree LP. Other parts are scrubbed with dishsoap and hot water, and then oiled. All bare metal surfaces still look like the came out of the box.
-
I'm pretty sure "surplus" 10rd mags don't exist.
-
10s and 21s are identical.
-
Love your build so far. Nice work.
-
+1 to the TRS-25. Have one on my 7.62 and LOVE it.

No one has ever been convicted of a 922® violation, and for good reason.
Thats a pretty broad statement without a source.
And I'm not the only one who's made it.
Btw, this was an interesting thread:
