  1. ahhh, it's making sense now. I wasn't bright enough to understand the history of the Saiga/AK design and what I have is a neutered variant. okay, so my instinct for form-to-function wasn't just about fashion and that makes me happy (or lucky). I'll google more on the Russian version for photos
  2. thank you! saved videos and PDF of the sticky to my iPad. will scope out triggers now sounds like there is little concern for modifying a no-longer-available firearm. i thought that Vepr still being imported, too but I guess not. so that leave China for the AK variant
  3. Nearly 10 yrs ago, I picked up a Saiga 12 and put it in the safe. Not even a trip to the range yet. With all this covid stuff and home sheltering due to wildfire smoke, I'm sniffing out long overdue projects to work on. The S12 gets pulled out and I'm looking at it. Then catching up on this forum and wasn't even aware the import ban took place. My question: Do you feel it is desirable to perform S12 mods given the ban, i.e. limited inventory now? I only thought to throw in a gas plug mod, buttstock and a pistol grip and leave it at that. The S12 would just be a recreational tool to
  4. Any Other Weapons, also
  5. I watch every new episode to see if anything strikes my fancy. If not, I change channels. I am glad there are shows which are firearms related and don't feel the need to turn it into a love/hate argument. I'd rather see similar programs, warts and all, than none at all and the media continue the direction of villifying firearms. This is a reality [sic] show, not a documentary, self help, educational broadcast. I'll continue to support (than not) Sons of Guns, Top Shot, American Guns, Tale of the Gun, etc. I hated that bald, whispering..... "remember-I-was-a-Navy-SEAL" guy but I still wat
  6. i think i saw someplace that the steven tyler wig and long tailed coat were options.
  7. (amidst all the caution on Sept 11.....this tidbit....for your amusement) Associated Press report "......Flight 623 originated in San Diego before stopping at Denver International Airport on its way to Detroit. The FBI said that the North American Aerospace Defense Command scrambled F-16 fighter jets to shadow the plane "out of an abundance of caution." In Dallas, FBI official Kevin Gentry said a rented moving truck parked at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport caused a brief scare in an area where troops returning from Middle East stints are greeted. Investigators were suspicious bec
  8. one caveat to this older thread: let's say you have a grandfathered DD and you wish to cut back the barrel. you may *not* have this option if your local laws have made this verboten. so if your state says no SBS, it may matter little that you have a grandfathered DD if they can show that you created the SBS after the local law was enacted. so as with anything gun law related action, be careful and consult local law advice
  9. answered above is good for the majority of cases. but without knowing the AOW platform, it is not known 100% if SBS-ing is needed. in rare cases it is possible to have a short barrel and still keep the AOW classification. most of the time, this applies to single shot AOWs.
  10. Because a trust does not require a CLEO Sig, as well as allows for a non taxed transfer to an heir. Not sure about the fingerprint thing but I think it eliminates the need for that as well. while the trust/corp approval bypasses CLEO signature/photos/prints, be it CORP or INDIV Form 4-ed, the bequeathed is not taxed and Form 5 filed so in the end, the critical component is CLEO signoff, since photos cost next to nothing, as are prints.
  11. in total agreement with TTF ! articles in Class 2/3 pub Small Arms Review recommending extreme caution as well
  12. happened to see this photo of Montana Tea Party rally last week. perhaps he's one of our colleagues here ?
  13. part of the answer depends on the user. younger eyes vs older, caliber, distance, convenience, etc. natch, in my shooting career, I started out cheaply, picking up a Minolta spotting scope for about $50 but was not satisfied when beyond 100 yrd...especially when I began to look for holes made by 308 in the 2-300 yrd range. next would be to get Cabela et al on sale for $50-150 but generally, they are 40-60 objective but so-so quality. their ability to resolve fine lines and detail may be lacking. best value per dollar would be to find a used astronomical telescope in mirror des

    Jeezzzz What else could it have possibly been. No one has a sense of humor anymore. I have a great sense of humor. You need to work on your delivery is all. :lolol: when confronted with the inability to pick up cues, it's easy to blame the delivery as flawed. whereas, for others, the jest was apparent. it's not always a right v wrong argument. jest laugh it off...
  15. yes you can.....but this needs to be qualified by saying that not all trusts are suitable for Form 1 or 4 applications. neither is it a good idea to think that applying as a trust is the panacea for the acquisition of Title 2 firearms in every single case. that fact that you can, can also come back to haunt you if, at a later point, it is determined that the trust entity was flawed in its construction or set up during the process. so what I'm simply trying to say is that one must perform due diligence in setting up the trust with care, and not just the easy way out using Quicken an
