  1. Mine doesn't really feel heavy, but I'm tossing 50lb boxes around for 4-6hrs at work everyday anyways.

     

    Comparing the dry weights of rifles is apples to oranges.  ARs are mostly aluminum/plastic, AKs are mostly steel/wood.  Now you want some serious weight, slap a loaded 75 or 100 rnd drum in that Saiga and lug it around.  haha.gif

  2. Entertaining vid but I was hoping to see them open that spam can of ammo!

     

    Also wondering if he is real Russian or fake Russian like that other you tube guy from Georgia(USA), can't remember his channel name right now!  

    FPSRussia.  He's cool for a non-Russian.  Been kinda low-key since the BS a few months ago.

     

    That was cool.  Now I'll have to put a piece of brick in my GHB.

  3. Federal Fusion gave me some tight 100 yd groups, and only opened up to around 2" @ 200yds out of my SGL21.  If I was out after Bambi, I'd keep it inside of the 150 mark on Barnaul.  I did great at 50 and 100, but opened up to around 4" at 200 with a few fliers. 

     

    On the 154gr stuff, it's pretty much hit or miss.  My 20" SKS would lay it on target, but my SGL21 hates the snot out of it.  Best group IO got out of Wolf was 5" @ 100yds.

    Most of the lead is produced by China  with the US being 3rd .

    there will not be a problem .

    There will be if we keep devaluing the dollar by printing more baseless cash.  We are painting painted ourselves into a corner by abandoning manufacturing and producing worthless cash.  Eventually our economy will crash and burn.  Then we'll need those lead bullets.

     

     

    Fixed it for ya.   Clock's ticking, but few are listening.

  5. http://www.nraila.org/news-issues/articles/2013/10/end-of-an-era-last-us-lead-smelter-to-close-in-december.aspx

    In December, the final primary lead smelter in the United States will close.  The lead smelter, located in Herculaneum, Missouri, and owned and operated by the Doe Run Company, has existed in the same location since 1892.

    The Herculaneum smelter is currently the only smelter in the United States which can produce lead bullion from raw lead ore that is mined nearby in Missouri's extensive lead deposits, giving the smelter its "primary" designation.  The lead bullion produced in Herculaneum is then sold to lead product producers, including ammunition manufactures for use in conventional ammunition components such as projectiles, projectile cores, and primers.  Several "secondary" smelters, where lead is recycled from products such as lead acid batteries or spent ammunition components, still operate in the United States.

    How long before this catches up with ammo prices?     BangHead.gif

     

  6. On the EBS uptick:  They are trying to "nationalize" the system.  Local station I listen to put it this way.  Before now, each state was required to run the test.  Last year, they decided to make it a "central hub" in case of National Emergency.  It pisses off the local DJ's because there is no warning now when they are testing, and can ruin a good monologue.

  7. The previous owner of our '01 Durango 2WD SLT had an Eaton E-locker installed.  It's an open diff for normal driving, but locks at the touch of a button when the Mrs needs a little extra oomph to get rolling on the ice/snow/mud.  Once moving, she turns it back off and rolls on.  I tried it engaged on the mountain passes here, and it makes the SUV a bear to drive in the curves.  Think about it this way.  You have an open or LSD, the rear can compensate for the power differential in sharp curves.  If you have a locker, then equal power is going to both rear wheels.  This means in a sharp curve the inside wheel will want to run the same speed as the outside wheel, causing loss of traction even on dry roads.  The inside wheel requires less power to keep up with the outside wheel, which needs the extra power to keep the car moving forward.  There is a reason racers run LSD's in stock cars, and this is it.

  8. no ammo haha.gif

    Not here.  Just picked up:

     

    200 rounds 123grFP Ugly Ammo@ $35/100

    200 rounds WPA 124grHP@ $5.25/20

    250 rounds of BVAC .45ACP@ $79

     

    As far as the membership:

     

    Football

    Last gasp of Summer(we already have snowcaps on the mountains and snow falling outside my house)

    Hunting season

    HS Sports

     

    I still try to pop in once a day, but trying to get the vehicles ready for winter by myself is sapping my time after work.

  9. Mine came with the 2-stage Arsenal FCG(has the little nub you have ot overcome after slack is taken up).  I decided to polish the contact surfaces, as I haven't done it yet.  When I pulled the FCG, I'm not impressed.  MIM* parts......no likey MIM parts.  So, I'm shopping for a good FCG, but prefer the 2-stage if I can find one.  If not, I'll be ordering a Tapco G2 single hook and just have to retrain my brain for the single stage pull.

     

     

    * MIM-Metal Injection Molding......think cheap 1911 parts that love to break when you least expect it.

  10. Years ago, there was a group(IIRC, the Pistoleros) tried that in Alabama on the I-65 with a loaded semi.  Ever see what the trailer tandems do to a human body at 65MPH?  The bikes directly behind him got sprayed, and still kept coming.  Before the state troopers arrived, several bikers were either deceased or injured.  Trucker was ruled justified for running their happy asses over as well.
