horatio

Funny this should come up. I've found the most efficient means of storage for myself is those 17 gallon Rubbermaid totes. I use them for outgrown kids clothes, spare parts for working on the house, work paperwork/catalogs etc. I label the outside with duct tape what's inside. I was going through a few I hadn't labeled yet and found one full of magazines! It was like a mini Christmas. Most were still in their original packaging, it wasn't like it was jammed full, but still, that was cool Also found a box of 45 acp I forgot I bought. I ran into Walmart a while back on some errands and s

Of course, I was just backing you up. Your feedback is often some of my favorite on this forum. I'm more likely to check in on a thread if I see that you've posted something. I have to admit the the same. I lurk in most threads but there are about a dozen guys, who, if I see they are recent post, will see what they said because I respect there opinion. ( I suppose it should be noted that many of these same fellows are men who I don't agree with other opinions in life, but still respect their input) Sadly, this number is down from the 20+ a year ago. But for guys like darth, pooling, y

I had actually thought it was banned. Good to hear I'm wrong. Scarce I can live with, as long as it doesn't end getting banned. It had been scarce for a while.

I'm hoping for Tromix dad. Ive talked to someone in his shop and they said to email him. Its on my listing things to do. I love his finish. Hoping to send both sets of bolts/ carriers to cobra for a nice polish job first. One would get a lsvch. Then I'd love to send both to Tromix with all the parts. All he'd have to do is assemble, weld, and paint. (Still not exactly a small task) Fwiw I should note that I have no intention of making my "modern" ak a magwell. I already have enough issues keeping track of my ak mags ( combloc, us mags, tapco, Chinese. ). I'm not adding magwell to the mi

^^ this. I'm not afraid to work on Aks. I just don't want to. To be honest i work on more complicated mechanical things everyday. Doing that all day than coming home and doing more work just doesn't interest me. My two biggest things are, as darth mentioned, welding up the holes, and stupidly enough, I want a nicer paint job than anything that comes out if a spray can. And im not tooled up for resin.

So shortly after the EO passed I grabbed one of the x39's that MAA had for sale with the intention of just letting it sit there for a few years and then maybe selling it as a collectors piece down the road or maybe converting it. I've come to realize that's a poor decision for two reasons. One. I never sell guns. Just my own personal thing. I'm not even saying its a good idea. But once I buy a gun, its with me for life. Two. Right now there is an abundance of saiga parts at reasonable prices. I doubt ill be able to say the same thing in ten years. I'm one of those guys who likes Ak

Nice selection there darth. I hear you on the therapy thing. I rarely get to a range that allows anything other than pistol rounds, so I really look forward to the time I get to spend with the long guns. Also, on a good note, I found out they're building a range not too far from me. That'll be nice, since my current closest range is about 15 miles away. Total hole in the wall, but prices are rock bottom on guns and the patrons all seem pretty decent. Also, hey darth, i meant to pm you when you made that post about some upgrades to your mossy semi. I remember you did some stuff that l

Never mind. My first post sucked and ill make the next one better. But still. Spacehog. Couldn't have been said better.

Likewise with dad. I am Facebook incommunicado but I will pass this along. A buddy of mine will be doing business with him soon. I finally convinced him to buy a vepr12 ( he was convinced all Aks were poorly made. He has an old wasr and some other bad crap I don't quite remember. He got his vepr and I got the call the next day. " man this thing is awesome!" Toldja. ) Now. Your next order is to a place called Carolina shooter sports for parts and another small company called CSS.....

And it's gone. That sucks. Hopefully somehow Sam will find find more. If anybody can, he will

Log on and sit at the last post blankly.....

Okay, so wait, I'm confused. Why is it when I zoom in on the backdrop I see a sign that says black aces tactical? Ok, that was mean. That guy making those Ak's is doing a much better job.

Yeah I kinda figured. He even mentioned in his video to not put ak parts on because they won't fit. I'm guessing most if not all 22 rounds don't have enough power to cycle a traditional ak. Looks pretty close, and for 275? No problem, its a plinker. Would like to know how the poly upper and lower hold up though. I'm guessing this one wouldn't survive a good old fashioned ak torture test. Better keep the ham sandwiches and gummi bears far far away!

Funny that this should come up. Ive been working on expanding my 22 collection and was planning on starting a thread about finding an ak 22. Got my answer before I even asked. thanks gunfun

No personal experience. I do remember a few random threads where their name came up (in a good light ) All I can say, is if and when illinios ever allows cans ill definetly consider them. FWIW I would really really REALLY take sunny bean up on his advice

Wish I could say the same dad. Hadn't planned on getting an s308 but after all the good things I heard here I was planning on picking one up after a few other purchases. Now I guess they've been deemed too evil to own and I missed the boat. I'm still kicking myself.

The police must have had derringers

Chile- hope your wife appreciated you. When my wife asks for good Mexican, I just take her to lalos. ( real nice small Mexican joint near us. Nice bar. Ill have to try that on the next wife's b day. And a big bonus to me, she doesn't like guac! Time for more steak.....

Dinner will be 3 pepper chicken with sour cream gravy. Hopefully the pics post. Ill be the first to admit it looks like a pile of vomit with fried brain, but its dang tasty. The pepper heats it up real good and the sour cream and cream of chicken soup smooth it out nicely. One of my favorite dishes.

Shouldn't be a worry here

I mentioned something similar in cams woc 12 post. I did say I'm not going to be the first to buy, I never am. I want to see how it performs first. But if what he said about multiple customization options is true, there's no way I'm only buying two.

Darth, I checked out the surefire. Dude your so wrong. Despite solid customer reviews, this hasn't been approved by arfcom. And I can't even breech a door with it! Never mind it's a great flash suppressor. I can't put another rail in my barrel for a door breacher!

Thanks for all the posts guys. Sorry to missing for so long, panic at work. ( the rubber tape measure strikes again!) after a few of you posted, I remembered that I had a couple big ammo cans ( about 18x18x5 ) with mags packed in. I think they have some 308 stenciling but to honest I don't remember. I put in some flower drying crystals ( desiccant, from what I've been told) and forgot them. Merry early Christmas fatty! Anyways. Again, thanks again, especially joe ak. That looks real nice. Think ill still be trying to build a cedar crate or two. The wood is 2 or 3 year old and bone dry. B

Mancat knows his stuff. IMHO I'd listen to him. I work as an elevator mechanic, and I'm on new construction job that had a load of rails (think train, but vertical) delivered mid January. Cosmoline was frozen on. We used a pretty nasty solvent to remove it from the important areas, but recently, ive noticed any area we stop at that our halogen light ( for illumination ) stops at for a few minutes, tends to make it kind if watery. I've also used contact cleaner to clean push button contacts. A few seconds of spray, and bam! Clean contacts. Take the same button and slap it against a table

Excellent post gunfun, as usual. I've been looking into a s&w 636 (?) maybe two, I want something with some scrollwork. Also, I'm a big walking dead fan. ( though , honestly, I think that show needs a direction and a final purpose, but that's another thread) so naturally , my want for a nickel python has been stoked. One day. Other than that, been looking at the raging judge to crossover my saiga 410. Off point, but nevertheless, wasn't there an article a few years back mentions the Chiapas had a slot in grip for a tracking chip? Pretty sure fitty confirmed that
