  1. Thanks SD. I have the four tuned so well, they eat everything I feed them...3 dram skeet loads up through Brenneke magnums. If I put on a paradox rifled choke, I can hit a cafeteria tray sized target with Brenneke and DDupleks slugs out to 200 yards. Lots of drop, sure, but accurate. It took years of work, and more than a few parts swaps, but I got them where I like them
  2. Depends. Good old Tabasco for eggs and stuffed peppers. Frank's on chicken, Hell's Kitchen for other things. There is no one-size-fits-all answer...kind of like it is with guns.
  3. I'll take 8 or 12 of them. I have 4 Saiga's to feed.
  4. Mike has got to monetize his investment in the double-stack design. I find it hard to believe that there isn't a large enough customer base among existing Saiga 12 owners to make the mag profitable.
  5. Mike, Thanks for the news, as difficult as it is. This is my tag for creating a thoughtful response...thinking somewhere in there will be the thought you underestimated the market potential of the existing Saiga 12 base. Richard Lage continues pumping out great things for the MAC submachineguns, and the window for that platform closed in May 1986. Best wishes for you success, and thanks for what you do provide for us. JohnnyE
  6. It's closer to the bore axis than the quad rail, which I have on another Saiga 12 of mine.
  7. I just purchased one from you and installed it. Me like! Only challenge was driving out the pin that retains the recoil spring guide rod. I broke a punch in the process. I think this rig gets my red dot down as close to the bore axis than anything out there, giving me a better cheek weld.
  8. I had great success reinstalling a tight gas block by first heating it up in a 350 degree oven. It expanded and dropped right over the room-temperature barrel. Once the block cooled, it was very snug. I used the same trick to install an AR-15 gas block.
  9. It appears my definition is more strict, perhaps in part due to the rampant overuse of extreme terms. It's similar to the bastardization of the word "unique." There really is no such thing as MOST unique, or MORE unique, simply because unique itself says it all, one-of-a-kind. Only a single item can carry that mantle, the item that has no peers. Mike is right, the media is debasing the very meaning of words.
  10. As a pilot I have to respectfully disagree with that statement. The controllers tried to vector him to attempt landing on dry land, and he chose to ditch it in the Hudson (where he could be sure not to land on anybody) instead. Maybe they could have made it back to an airport, maybe not, but if not then the population density in that area almost assured that there would have been a lot of people hurt and killed on the ground, even in a crash landing that would have been survivable for many or most of those on board. Given that up until that time, basically nobody had ever had a water ditchi
  11. So many people lead such drab, meaningless lives that they need to somehow feel uplifted and validated, and they smile and feel proud by simply surviving something that was done to them. The strict definition of a hero is someone who has two choices in front of them. The first choice leads to their personal safety, but does nothing to assist others in peril, and the other is the choice that puts their own personal safety at risk in the attempt to save others who are in peril. I don't in any way think that Chesley Sullenberger, the airline captain of "Miracle on the Hudson" fame, was a
  12. Murphy's law in action. The dog's first chomp was probably right on the stamp. He couldn't have started on the opposite corner of the form...of course not...that's not how it works.
  13. This is a great idea. There are some things I don't "need" right now, but I'll shoot them eventually, and now would be a good time to buy. I feel pretty confident thinking that SGAmmo, like so many others, stocked up late last year because they expected a different election result and panic buying on a grand scale. I give props to SGAmmo because during the last panic, they did a really good job controlling prices, which was more than fair of them and a lot better than many retailers treated us, so I don't want them to be left holding the bag because the stocked up.
  14. I applaud your enthusiasm but you really dont know what your talking about...I live in Oregon and my republican vote is nullified....that the way she goes in oregon republicans vote for the down ballots I live in Maryland, so I know exactly what it's like to have my vote nullified, and I've been in politics for 30 years, so I know exactly how important it is, win or lose, to be counted and to be seen as someone who will show up. The thing you don't want to do is broadcast that you're a eunuch. Is it more important to have an extra beer once every two years, or go and do something?
  15. I just don't understand not voting. We bitch endlessly about losing Constitutional rights, but it's not a Chinese menu, where you pick one but another. Our fathers, grandfathers and other ancestors fought and died to secure this right for us. Honor them! Take an hour, get off your ass, put down the computer, and VOTE! Don't try to calculate where your vote will make a difference. Just by showing up you show you are interested. If everyone waits for everyone else to do it, it will never happen. I've voted every time, primaries and generals, for 40 years.
  16. That directed at me? One up the center of the pipe, and the second at 6 O'clock, with the "barrel" splitting the round, half in, half out. A lopsided snowman. No big deal.
  17. Wow. Hope the deputy fully recovers. A few months ago at the range I had one .40 round go right up the paper target's "pipe," and another nick it. Yeah, don't jump me everyone, I know the paper was hanging there completely still, it wasn't shooting at me, and I wasn't hit. At the moment I thought it was kinda neat (never happened in decades of shooting experience), and here we see it happened in real life.
  18. 20mm cans get a whole lotta love from me for deep storage. Heavy as an SOB when stuffed with center fire pistol ammo, but when got a single lot number of each of my favorite defense rounds in each carry caliber, it'll take decades to burn through it all as I rotate out the carry rounds. Toss in rechargeable silica gel pack, and keep recharging and swapping them out 'til everything inside is completely dehydrated, and you're good for the looooong term. Fat 50's work great for 500 round bricks of .22 LR, and 150 round boxes of M855. There is very little wasted space in these applications.
  19. Thank you for saying some of the most important words spoken...not on this forum, but by a citizen who is a leader who has a voice in his own nation. Everyone (including me) should think about the things that annoy them, that disgust them, and that enrage them. Everyone (me too) should take a long hard look at the things they do that annoy others, disgust others, and enrage others. If YOU cannot make a clear, convincing argument why ALL those things should be illegal, using words and a rationale that everyone can at least understand, then you better think about whether your are a champion
  20. I can lend you a drum if you really need it. What did you order? "lagniappe" is a gift. JMHO, he's looking for an extra drum to be tossed into his order as a meaningful way of saying he's sorry for the delay and lack of contact
  21. I think he needs better business communications with his customer base. I get that he doesn't want waste his time being pen pals, or dealing with flame wars, but some sort of regular communications will give us confidence, which is waning.
  22. Pictures please. I am looking at Gun Fun's work and it would be great to see this. I'd love it if I could use an autoplug reliably for everything you can feed a Saiga 12.
