You can see from my post count that up to this point this thread, I am the newest member to comment. I gotta say that I steer as much of my business as I can to the Business Members. I have received only EXCELLENT service at fair to great prices. On top of that, I have to do my part to keep these guys keeping this forum going. I'm not a professional gunsmith, but I have built a few engines in my life, so I know which end of a soldering iron not to grab. The advice, and down right professional guidance you find here is amazing! Watch out for the red herrings from rank amateurs, though. The four

evl, I agree with ya when we're talkin about the smaller, more common "breacher" brakes. However, Monster brakes do work, and reduce recoil in a very appreciable way, (by ~25% with high brass and it virtually negates bird shot recoil). In order to do that at the muzzle on a 12-ga, it does have to be massive; which is why I use one on a cut-down barrel. I gotta agree with the 25% recoil reduction by the Monster Brake. Have two identical Saiga 12's with 19" bbls, except I put a Monster Brake on one, and nothing on the other. Took 'em both to range and alternated shooting them to get a feeli

That pretty much sums it up.

Right. It does not matter who did or didn't do anything to or with the gun. Once a gun gets into your hands, YOU are COMPLETELY responsible for anything that happens while you are holding it. It doesn't matter if the gunsmith screwed up the trigger job, or whatever, we all know the rules! Follow them without exception.

I think you inserted the double banana in the wrong places!

Very nice! I'm sharing with my very challenged Maryland friends.

I HOPE kids are seeking counseling to get help dealing with stupid adults who created such an insane policy!

I just stopped by the gun store in my home town and the racks are bare. Hummm, must have sold out fast.

They aren't trying to rob anyone, they're simply looking for someone willing to pay the ridiculous price. Going price on Gunjoker is cheaper than they're. I agree. The market place gets its chance to speak. Some "gougers" really do provide a service by ensuring a supply so that those folks who GOTTA HAVE IT can...for a price I just failed to get my scarastic smiley in there.

$6.25 per rd?! When you try to rob people, isn't it customary to load the bullets INTO a gun and point it at them?

Out of stock

Pauly is still doing his thing. He is backed up and last week announced here that he has put a moratorium on accepting new work for, IIRC, a month, so he can get caught up. Search for his post.

Got mine, too. Thanks Mike! And I LOVE the way you are stuffing the speculators trying to sell on GB

I was at the Nation's Gun Show in VA on 2/9/13 and one of the larger mag vendors had SGM 12 round S12 mags for $49.95. Not bad in the current climate...only a 10% bump from "normal."

I was just at the Nation's Gun Show in Chantilly VA, (30 mi W of DC) and saw Colt LE6920's priced at $2,499. 33 round Glock 9mm mags (geniune Glock, not Korean) at one of the larger vendors were price at...$129. Other Glock mags were running in the $40's.30 round gen 2 PMAG's we $40 and up. 5.56/.223 ammo was $1.00 to $1.10 per round. I'm gonna sit back and relax for awhile. Happy to see that SGM 12 round Saiga 12 mags were $50. All plus tax, of course.

Keep an eye on Cali and Maryland. This is death by a thousand cuts...and like any cancer, unless you remove it completely, it spreads.

If the founding fathers wrote we had the right to keep and bear weapons, then that's what I'd call them. Well, that's not what they wrote. I call mine "firearms". Hell, a hammer is always a tool and, depending on what you do with it, it may become a weapon. When I am punching paper, my firearms are clearly not weapns. If a local scumbag tries to jump me when I'm carrying,then he's gonna be introduced to my weapon.

Well, I only have experience with three Saiga 12's, so I'm no expert, but two gas blocks were a cinch to remove. The third took some real muscle, and the key was putting the muzzle down on a piece of 1x4 on the concrete basement floor. Doing this eliminated nearly all the "give" that a softer or springy surface, like my workbench, provided. None of the hammer blows wasted energy compressing the bench. The concrete floor was a solid anvil. And I still had to really swing!

An idea to run by you. When putting a VERY TIGHT gas block back on one of my barrels, (it took some real pounding to get it off), rather than smack it back on with a mallet, I heated the gas block in a 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes. When it was hot, I grabbed it with insulated gloves and it dropped right over the room-temperature barrel. Slipped on like a size 10 shoe over a size 8 foot. No muss, no fuss. Never got the gas block hot enought to affect the metallurgy. What do you pros think?

Ordered two drums Saturday morning, January 12 Shipping confirmation email received Monday afternoon, January 21 On my doorstep today, Wednesday afternoon, January 23 ...and I've got room and money for those double stacks... Thanks Mike and good luck in this new business climate.

Hold on tight, it's gonna be a wild ride. Barring an appeal, if Illinois passes concealed carry, will they go with "shall issue" or will they follow in New Jersey and Maryland's footsteps and pass a "may-issue" law? I wonder. And if/when it goes "may-issue" then keep an eye on the US 4th Circuit Court of Appeals decision in the Woollard v. Sheridan case, where Woollard is challenging Maryland's "may-issue" statute. Woollard already won at the district court level. The appellate court is expected to announce its opinion this spring. Since Maryland is in the 4th circuit, and Illinois is in t

Cool Groovy Mike! We're diggin' the same thing!

I like simple and subtle. The original expression is "Keep Cool and Carry On." Okay, I say add the Saiga and the letter "e", in other words... Keep Cool and Carry One The reader is left to his own imagination, wondering what is on your mind.

If JT Engineering released their magwell that accepts MD-20 drums and stick mags, I would buy three.

Short answer, any true lubricant will do. Long answer... I have the benefit of working with a gentleman who has a PhD in tribology. Tribology is the study of the effects of materials in relative motion – two things moving in relation to each other. Some things slide along each other, like a carrier moving back and forth on rails, and other things rotate, like a shaft within a bearing. His career is devoted to minimizing the damaging effects of wear and tear as things rub against each other. He is a professional in the field and I trust his judgment. Neither of us works for any companies or
