  1. Why is it everytime someone points out a vendor of this site is in violation of their own contract and possibly in possession of, or actively stealing property, is it called "Obvious trolling"? I appreciate your position Makc, being in the middle and trying to come up with the best way to minimize fallout, and bad PR, as well as to facilitate a resolution, but calling the victims of the situation trolls is about the same as saying she was dressed like she wanted to be raped. I think this site would be best served to remember, despite what the vendors pay to play, its the membership here th
  2. I was hoping to buy a Texas Weapon System Gen II mount new this week, as I understand (or dont, exactly) that there may have been recent changes to the design that have eliminated the caliber work arounds and special parts that were offered in the past but I simply do not have the cash. I am certain I can adapt any older version just fine, if I can find one. I just sold my Gen I rail, as I no longer have a tang on the project rifle in question, and while I am a little skeptical the gen II will be as solid for a scope mount, I need one for a rear peep sight project. I am sure there is someo
  3. This is a standard Strikefire Vortex I have had for a while, but only mounted briefly, and only used a few times. It is in good shape, comes with two brand new never opened batteries, and the see through mount so you can still use iron sights. If you want the other mount, Strikefire sells them for about 20 bucks. This sight was never torture tested by me, but was recommended to me after facing an extreme torture test from a good friend of mine, who tried to cook off the electronics with a massive rapid fire range trip on his AK. This is a solid one piece aluminum tube design, and this same mod
  4. Most yugo guns will do the same thing. Its not a feature so much as happenstance.
  5. Looks even better finished, cant wait to see one in person. Of course my offer to test one stands. I see much potential
  6. Yeah, you took the risk, and did not escape. That thing is hideous and looks like you would have to use your extremely long pinky, or maybe any passing tree branch to activate.
  7. Eek, i second the dont do it. Unfortunately papazorro was banned and censored from this forum, but he explained it well, the front rivet is thicker, because it is a guide to keep the carrier aligned with the slot in the gas puck, without it you are sorta just tossing the bolt carrier in the general direction of the tiny recess it needs to fit inside of. I dont see this working out well.
  8. There is no letter, and little reason to ask for one. A thread protector is not a muzzle device. Make a floor plate or use us springs in the mag, as suggested.
  9. The gk01 is patented by the designer in russia, to settle that matter. Patents are like cheap locks, they only keep the honest honest, otherwise they do nothing, unless someone pursues litigation. papa zorro is a good friend and the best poster this board had seen in recent memory, the endless september coupled with assinine management decisions has made this site, comparatively, mostly good for looking at pictures. Thankfully ive never had any trouble with the mods here and find pictures enjoyable, while there are still other good forums for reading about content, content which doesn
  10. Arms of America. I've never ordered from them. This assures I never will. Anyone who does otherwise is saying that its ok to lie and cheat for profit, there are too many other honest sellers, id like to keep it that way.

  12. Bonesteel posted pics of the final brake installed on their v12, take a look for them, if not on this forum on the vepr forum, in their vendor section, for sure. I do not have a bonesteel galil type folder, but ive used several Ace galil style folders both left and right folding, which are essentially the same shape and dimensions. In my experience, it makes no difference in which side the stock folds in use with the stock folded, its just a matter of preference in using the non trigger controls. I do not prefer the stock to sit over the safety if i can help it, because it interferes with
  13. Seems to me two decent bolts, if that is all that's holding it on, is stronger than most ar buffer tubes...
  14. as a general rule of thumb, never give up a tested and true weapon for an untested one. The qc on the veprs is very high, but it is not one hundred percent, like any factory weapon, and there is the possibility it will not match the performance of your current custom weapon. On top of that, it looks like you have a fair amount of money in aftermarket accessories, and as another general rule, accessory cost does not equal value, so you are only going to recoup a portion of those parts prices, well, at least in a rational market, and not all of those parts will fit a v12. If you like those mods
  15. sorry about the double post, shit has been pretty hinky for me. csspec, pm inbound
  16. I havent seen any of these listed yet, so im not sure what a fair price is, by far the most comfortable thumbhole stock ive used, but thumbholes just arent my thing. Complete with sling mounting hardware, rubber buttplate, and that nearly impossible to find handguard mounting screw. 40 dollars or best offer takes it, and i do mean best offer. seriously, i just moved, these things are in the way. will fit any vepr if you want a spare, or are regretting the paint job you gave your wood, might fit other slant cut aks, might make a cool skeletonized wood stock project, can likely b

  18. i know tws probably knows more about it than me, but i thought a while ago, that while the mounting system is different, the tws rail is two pieces, and i dont see any reason the dust cover itself cant be cut to work on the vepr12 or saiga, and the front, mounting piece, cant be replaced with a mod that would allow it to mount to the vepr block. I donno, maybe there is something i am missing... Other than the magic front rivet, that is still doable. let us know what you find out about the xs sights.
  19. "As I stated before, anything less than 1 oz (ex. Federal 7/8 oz and Winchester 7/8 oz from my experience), in my case, does not have enough gas power to push the bolt back completely to eject the shell reliably, hence an FTE." Both of those rounds were the first thing i purchased to feed my vepr, it ate them flawlessly. I am hardly lucky in life, so i doubt im the only one. It also loves B&P big game rounds, which are a personal favorite.
  20. all of the mags were preordered sir, you are being pendantic. There are no direct mag sales from sgm, so those mags were preordered by maa, atlantic, css, and i am sure will be delivered to them in a common sense fashion related to how the order was placed. A vendor preordering a large enough number of mags to immediately offer them for sale and shipping them immediately upon receipt, is neither a slight or bad business, while requiring a vendor not to ship your product until after all other orders are filled, would be.
  21. i have been assured that a drum is in development by a known vendor, but have no details on timeframe. i am sure if the vendor wants more to be known, they will post details themselves.
  22. isnt the whole point of the sgm design that they can be cut down to other lengths?
