Subject was: Proclamation of Liberty Sent from: Patriot@Emergency-planet.com Emergency planet is a video game about first responders or something like that. Their site uses the same code/board and possibly the same hosting as this site. Waay to over the top to just delete it. Perhaps they won't be able to do anything about it, but there is definately some crazy sicko that needs to be found. The fact that a lot of gun nuts like us were specifically targetted for this email doesn't help matters at all.

Looks like their forums use the exact same board code/style as this site. Not likely a coincidence.

Normally I just ignore the Nigerian money scams and the like, but this one I forwarded to the authorities. Looking around the web I guess a lot of people got it, which is a little reassuring, yet almost makes it creepier at the same time. It would be interesting to find out where they pulled the email addys from. I hope it's not here, I know we're a nice bunch of conspiracy theorists, but this email is over the top.

This is a freaky email I got today. Here's the whole thing minus the list of names and addresses that was at the bottom, supposedly of the politicians it wants you to stalk/kill:

I'd rather support my flgs as well, but they have higher prices, $50 transfers, and a lot of assholes behind the counter...so I get a lot of my ammo from Wallmart, where I get friendlier service and the same ammo for cheaper.

As far as I know it is. The odd part is that weapons are allowed on campuses, but not concealed weapons, so you may only open carry while on campus. I imagine some campuses have their own anti-gun rules, but I haven't looked into which ones do.

It looked like he might have already been losing traction before he hit it, though running into it was clearly what sealed the deal. Maybe the draft from that box truck gave him a little push?

That box truck driver did a pretty good job after being hit. The SUV looked like the only one there with serious tracton issues. Hard to say exactly what caused it, it might have been his tires, he may have been trying to pass the box truck, or if he was just unlucky while cruising in a very poorly positioneed spot. Any way you look at it the SUV driver put himself in a bad situation, it looks very possible that he didnt survive it either.

I guess that depends on some of your options. Is that the Titan with the HK sights on it? If so, thumbs up, if not, you'll either need some sort of sights or optics, or to go with a less intrusive rail, possibly something simpler like just a tri rail or bottom rail if the VFG is the only thing you plan on using rails for. Does your gun run well? Thats the most important thing to get a handle on before making any modifications to it.

My CSS TG did the same, I'm pretty sure my screw didn't end up in there right, with some of it being stripped or crossthreaded. It's in tight and has blue loctite so it shouldn't come loose, but it wasn't quite how I wanted it to go on, I can see why a lot of people just cut themselves a proper PG nut hole.

Thats what most trolls think they are doing, just having a little fun. The limits as to how far they'll go is the only real difference between them, where most trolls are content to just Rick roll you, the guy in the article was clearly willing to go a lot further than that.

I used to mix industrial paints that used MEK as a thinner. Nasty stuff and it'd probably strip the finish on the gun right quick. When you are using some sort of paint thinner to try and strip something it's always better to start on the weaker end, like mineral spirits, and work your way up until you get something that will do what you want. MEK is the top end and should only be used as the last resort if you are willing to go over the top, unless whatever you are doing specifically calls for it. Use in a well ventilated area, outside if you can, people walking in the paint store would be st

Theres a follow up story linked there as well. Seems like a decent guy and everything has worked out well enough so far. http://www.litefm.com/cc-common/mainheadlines3.html?feed=421220&article=9744152

Actually yes, because it's one less charge for them to tack on once they catch you.

Fortunately it is a very easy law to comply with, just make sure that you have enough US made parts on hand before you do anything. Post conversion most Saigas are hard to make not compliant, but if you aren't converting it's a much finer line to pay attention to.

Don't feel too bad, the Izhmash mags are tougher and $25/ea is a good deal.

I do of course even take that part with a grain of salt, they don't show the full video of any of the deals from start to end. Still, in a couple of the deals it does appear as if the seller just doesn't care. In a face to face deal if I don't know the person and they're not a vendor at a gun show I'm going to get at least verbal confirmation that they are legally allowed to own a firearm and to check their ID to make sure they are from the same state as me (and I have on the rare occasion that I've sold a gun). I did laugh at most of his made up terms and misrepresented data, like police-

The only part that bothers me is that they did find some shady sellers. No questions and no ID checks or anything, not even to make sure they were a resident of the same state as required by federal law. The rest of everything they said was total BS, guy was trying to make a shock story as his first episode.

Prices: If someone can buy new online and pay shipping plus another $25ish for a transfer fee and get the gun cheaper than you are selling then the price is probably too high. Reasonable transfer fees go with prices. Service: People behind the counter that are willing to find out what the customer wants and needs and are happy to help them try and cover those wants and needs within their price range. They shouldn't talk down to the customer, insult their choice of firearms or accesories, act like they're having their time wasted, or try and get them to spend twice what they were planning o

I shipped a number of packages to other countires a year or two ago via USPS Priority. Never had an issue, they were all delivered within their listed delivery times (like 6-10 days for China). Since international packages are already expensive never skimp and make sure they are insured for the value of the item being shipped. You also have to declare the items being shipped on the customs form, and it's possible he worded it something that would have caught their attention, like "gun parts".

Beautiful work and a nice set up to do it in.

Those are both the same rail. It does attach by clamping over the gas block, this affects cycling in a lot of guns, some run fine with it. Since your gun is already having issues, I would suggest sorting those out before making too many other changes. Also note that your Mako stock has been known to negatively impact cycling as well. If you happen to have the OEM stock and handguard I would put both of those on and see how it performs in stock configuration.

That would have been a mess. Might have been worth it though, because then you'd have an excuse to go buy a 91/30 to shoot all that ammo with (and they're usually sold for under $100).

FTEs or other cycling issues is not uncommon. The gas ports are the first thing to look at and you'll find lots of threads here about them. The original handguard and sling mount were screwed to the bottom of the barrel, I'm not sure if that is what you are talking, some replacement handguards screw into this mount as well, but there are some that do not. There should be the hole in the side of the gas block. Its somewhat debated on what it does, but it seems to be some sort of pressure relief port, either for normal function or possibly for more serious issues (some videos have shown

Thank you. I like the MBUS sights, I tested them a bit on my 15-22, but I haven't had a chance to sight them in yet on the Saiga. They were bought specifically for the Saiga though since they cowitness with the Eotech. After finally getting my rail in and putting the sights on it I was having trouble getting them to cowitness with each other at home, I think the rail jigs a little to the left when locked down (it locks down tight, just a little off center...likely the gas block isn't on perfectly straight) and I might have to move the rear sight forward a bit to a place where it is more center
