  1. Mine is a socket cap actually. it's the one for the Tapco grip.
  2. Hi guys, had a quick question. What size hex head driver fits the grip bolt? Thanks
  3. I >think< Atlantic is a contributor site. That said I clicked, good luck.
  4. Thanks to all of you for reviving this thread. I've been mulling over the next rifle purchase and was thinking of going with the Ruger Scout but really wished it had been a semi rather than a bolt gun. I think the next one may be the S. .308 instead. I'm putting together a work bench and reloading station over the next year (instead of trying to build my own AKs, way to cost prohibitive) and look forward to tailoring a load for the shorter barrel in either weapon. It sounds like the .308 out of a 16" tube is suitable out to 500m with good loads and a bolt gun with longer barrel for fur
  5. Thanks again for the help and info. Haven't been home to review/reply.
  6. Assuming that "lending support" can be as little as calling 911 and waiting for help to arrive it would be anyone and everyone. If we're talking taking direct action (ie..physically interfering with or attempting to stop an assault) then the bar is raised quite a bit and would depend on whether I thought that persons life was in danger. See, I'm no spring chicken but I still have some fight left in me and enough chivalry to want to help. I also know from experience that some people ask for the shit they get. What if the "victim" is one of the Occupy people? What if that person happens
  7. Here in Ga. we don't have to have proof. But there are exceptions to that depending on circumstances.
  8. Thanks guys for all the info. As I expected there's more to it than I first thought. I'll be checking NODAK in a few minutes (cooking as I type). I think I'll stick to "home build" as it's likely to be easier to stay legal. Heck I can always open my shop, once completed, to friends that want to build their own. EDited to add: My spelling sucks. LOL And wow. NODAKSPUD rocks. Thanks again guys., now I have to plan out my work space and settle down to ordering tools and such. I'm slow so it'll be about 18+ months before I turn out my first rifle, but that's cool.
  9. So if I did, in the future, decide to sell, I'd need to get an FFL? or is there another license for manufacturing? So far, other than the usual jigs particular to the Ak I'l need a good basic shop setup with a shop press, vises, benches, drill press etc...
  10. Hi guys, had a couple of questions: 1) Has anyone dealt with Ak-builder? 2) Has anyone here tried to build an Ak from the receiver up? If so what kind of tools will be needed? (barrel press, jigs, How the heck do you bend a receiver flat?) I'm prepared for the process to be slow and reasonably difficult, it just looks like it would be both challenging and fun to do. Finally, if it does turn out to be fun and the challenges lessens over time, what are the legal ramifications of building rifles and receivers? A. As a hobby and B. to sell. What hoops would have to be jumped through t
  11. Makes me glad I live in GA. Here we have "stand you ground" laws. I don't even have to be in my home to use it either. Gutless mobs of crazy people. Some one above put it right though, shoot a couple and the rest will flee.... .....only problem is if they come back.
  12. Nobody missed anything. Everybody agrees the more training the better. We don't agree it should be a condition of issuing a CCW permit. This is exactly what I was trying to say. Thanks DogMan
  13. I have no problem with training, should be mandatory. Sure, let's start training requirements for voicing your opinion, blogging, refusing unreasonable searches, practicing religion Let's license churches and ministers, gotta meet the requirements ya know.), Oh and let us not forget that we should henceforth restrict the right to petion our government when we don't like what's going on above. After all, the government knows what's best right? Really, what p[art of "Shall not be infringed" don't you understand? But then I was raised with weapons of all sorts from the time I was 1

  15. I agree that marksmanship is a perishable skill. I agree completely that anyone who chooses to use any firearm for self defense should train to the best of their ability. Or any weapon for that matter. However, I do not agree that training should be a requirement for issuance of a License/permit to carry. My right to the best possible self defense tool, given me by my creator, according to the framers of the US Constitution, does not end at my front door or the edge of my property. It is inherent to my very being. As someone posted above, there are folks out there who, for many practic
  16. I only had to pay part online, get printed, and have the chief of police sign off. 2 weeks later I had my permit. I agree that you should at least have to show proficiency. In some cases here, some people have a CCW that shouldn't even be allowed around firearms... Let alone carry one. Yeah, most people who apply have at least a modicum of experience, but not all of them. This could be a recipe for disaster and create a backlash after a few "free fire" incidents such as you see on YouTube. And therein lies the problem. You have to show you can drive a car before getting a li
  17. Pretty much the same here in GA. Costs a little more and there are backround checks by the GBI and FBI. As to training; the constitution stats, "shall not be infringed". That means exactly that. These so called reasonable restrictions are in absolute violation of the constitution. PERIOD! I obey the law because I don't want to spend time in jail, but I work from within to change the laws that restrict us here in GA. A group I belong to has been very successful with changing those laws bit by bit. Just recently we got a law passed overturning a 140 yr old Jim Crow law forbiding carr
  18. The title says it all gents. What are your thoughts? I want to eventually learn all aspects of semi-auto, bolt, pump and lever; as well as revolver and pistol. I know it will take time. I'm willing to go slow and have experience turning small wrenches in tight places.
  19. Great read. I hope the author doesn't mind that I posted the link, with the title and his name, on my FB page.
  20. I don't know about this company in particular but it isn't unknown for mailorder houses to do just as you're thinking with items on back-order.
  21. ok, these are pics of the mag that did fit. The ones that didn't had a thicker band around the top of the magazine. ETA: top pic is upside down.
