Well when I dig it out of the ground, I take the dust cover off, piss in the action, rack it a few times and go about my business.
Lol but really, I take an oiled toothbrush over the chamber, ramp, FCG, all lower internals. Remove and clean gas tube with oiled toothbrush to get most of the residue but it's not gonna sparkle. Oil the piston then wipe clean with a rag, gets about 99% clean. Oiled toothbrush to bolt and bolt carrier and '74 brake, then run oiled patches through the barrel till they come out mostly clean if I'm in a hurry, otherwise I'll clean it spotless which happens most of the time. This is after I soak the barrel in oil starting when I get back to my house, then let it sit while I clean everything else. So I guess I pay most of my attention to the barrel.

well regardless if the government implements any of this or they dont, its still a blow to the constitution. and grants them the power of arbitrary arrest, or internment, no matter how they try to word it.
and to the op, im glad you expressed your concerns. how did you feel about the response you recieved?
I wanted him to know there's at least some people that'll "have none of it." I won't give any rights for security.
Well he said it doesn't give the military the power to arrest US citizens, however I do realize that he wouldn't be the first politician to lie to benefit himself.
I think the truth is that we'll have to wait and see.

I actually like it a lot......then again if you put the words "breakdown" and "rifle" in the same sentance my ears perk up!
I hear ya, that's a pretty cool concept.
If the price comes down at some point I'm all over it.

It looks much cleaner than the KVar/Century bullpup kit, and isn't a mall-ninja POS like the CBRPS chassis'. I have a couple suggestions though:
-Rails: As the forearm is decidedly proprietary you need to modify it to have some mounting points for rail segments, especially to mount a VFG seeing as how your grip involves touching the barrel.
-Sights: Arguably this is one of the few places where a scoutscope mount would *not* suck in terms of cheekweld, and Ultimaks cook EOtechs and Aimpoint clones. Additionally, people my like having BUIS. I think that perhaps an Ultimak with a long rail that cantilevers back over the rear sight and extends forward, maybe anchoring to the original front sight post.
-Reinforced dust cover: Peeps are worried about bullpups and kabooms next to their melons. The AUG uses a thick layer of plastic. The RFB has 2mm of steel. You need a way of protecting the user from potential out of battery detonations. Perhaps a dust cover with a few layers of kevlar weave epoxied on top, or something similar.
This is not meant to be confrontational, but how many times have you seen a dust cover blown off of an AK-pattern rifle during firing?
It is one of those things that does happen(regardless of how rarely) and not takeing steps to limit potential damage could land you in the hospital or court if you're selling the kit.
If you watch the Youtube vids in slow motion/stop frame, you'll notice that most of the time it's the dustcover being pushed back and the front raiseing up away from the barrel. A simple tab about an ich or so back and over the top of the shroud is usually enough.
Worst case scenarioes tend to have the bolt carrier and all fly back past the end of the receiver. Into your face if shooting normally, into your shoulder if shooting bullpupped. And iirc, it tends to happen on the cheaper/lighter built AKs.
Some form of safety add on is just good policy. Imho.
Thank you for answering my question. Not many people do it calmly anymore.

The family is always going to say it was uncalled for, but cry me a river, the younger kid was justified. Good for him.
And good for the judge upholding his right to defend himself, this goes quite a ways for cases of self-defense.

Our military can't initiate a firefight, if these men were killed it was because they fired at those soldiers first.
That's complete bullshit! They can initiate a firefight. Edit: It's called an ambush.
Exactly, rules of engagement only make it more difficult for our troops to do their job, let alone protect their own lives.

As for shooting this standing up and recoil, the one of these I saw weighed over 80lbs. That might help a bit with the recoil, lol.

Many factors that a civilian cannot relate to, But if we do not act any better or be more respectful than the enemy, and we resort to low-life behavior, we reduce ourselves to their level. Being an American soldier should mean being held to a higher standard and being the best and most respected armed force in the world.
But then we force them to do 3 tours!!
We shouldn't be saying "yeah, but look what THEY did!" We should have SOME moral standards that we stick to.
So when is DEAD not enough? Do we drag them around the streets next? Really?
Deserve has nothing to do with it.
edit: you can start throwing tomatoes at me now!
Lol, sorry no tomatoes today. I think something like this is an opinion, and as with everything I say "to each his own."
I think it's hard to say what I'd do after being in their shoes, if someone tried to kill me, being innocent, I might be mad too. Either way I'm not judging them.

I wondered the same thing at first, but with my shells ejecting about twenty feet from a standing position it's running just fine.

I haven't had any problems with mine. You get parts count, lightweight, and I think you'll find them to feel surprisingly solid.

Modern tula ammo ain't steel-core. It is the CASING that is steel. The projectile itself is copper and lead.
ok while they are staying if it holds a magnet placed on the tip, you can not shoot it.
Most recently imported 7.62x39 ammo since the mid 1990s usually has a steel thin jacket material NOT THE CORE..
The US Federal government does not allow steel core 7.62x39 ammo to be imported and so no distributors would have any.
Unless you happen to have bought some old 1990s ammo, there is zero chance your ammo has a steel core.
A magnet will stick to the steel jacket which is why many range employees are often not the brightest people.
I can't begin to discuss how many range employees tried to certify that Wolf or any other Russian ammo is steel core.
It may not be imported but it's still around. I've bought Herter's from Cabelas twice now, once in a sealed spam can, and both times I've recovered rounds fired, their FMJ is steel core.

Yes, you will need a FOID card (Firearm Owners ID). You can apply for one at Gander Mountain or most any sporting goods store that deals in firearms or shooting ranges and FFL dealers. You can also print off an application on the Illinois State Police website, attach picture and send it in with a fee. They'll use your DL photo anyway but want a current picture for the app.
I lived in Springfield for about 15yrs, its a hole!
D'Arcy's Pint and The Barrelhead have some very good food. Be sure to order a "Horseshoe"!
Love the Barrelhead, my parents have been friends with the Davlins for a while so that was a regular place for us. It's a shame about the tornados a few years back but the place looks better than ever now. Have you been recently?

Bravo to this guy for having the stones to jump in the river and help save those kids.

My prayers are with this lady, along with a pat on the back. Guns save (innocent) lives.
Edited for spelling.

Why is it that college aged people (mainly women in my experience?) become such tree hugger hippies? That's a serious question. I get so aggrevated with people my age and some of their goofy ideas.
One friend of mine and I argue politics all the time. He comes up with these UNREALISTIC ideas about how we need to get rid of money all together, open the borders completely, give everyone legal citizenship, get rid of the meat industry, encourage unions, etc etc.. I can see how SOME of his ideas are progressive and it's good to challenge what we have now sometimes, but almost all of our arguements end with me looking up facts and proving him wrong.
I used to be very left-leaning when I was in college (only a few years ago). I think it has a lot to due with the fact that a lot of college students haven't yet had to really earn anything in life. Either mommy and daddy paid for it, or they have a loan that they don't have to worry about yet (at least that's what they think). Since they aren't paying taxes anyways what do they care what the tax rate is? On that same token, find the college students working 40 hours a week to pay for their schooling and see if they're on the left.
You are correct sir. I'm 21, working full time and in school, and am very conservative.

Mine is the same way, the front post is about 2/3 of the way to the left to bring POI to POA. As long as I can hit what I want to though, I don't worry about it.
Gun Control- The theory that criminals (by definition, people who break laws) will follow a LAW that says they can't have a gun.

That's what the 5 of us did, 12g birdshot over a cornfield. Never thought I'd be that guy lol.

Hey dude good for you, they make many options so that you can choose which one you want. If it fits your needs, not to be cliché but rock on!

That says it beautifully. Thank you to all our under-appreciated heros, and have a merry Christmas.

Lol it's very true, I hadn't seen the video and read your post and said "seriously?"

Don't forget, 'tis also the season for buying firearms. Black Friday there were over 129,000 background checks requested, thats the record for one day. I have bought two since then, anybody breaks in my apartment they'll meet the glock.
How do you clean your Saiga?

I do earnestly thank you for the tip. But I don't put much stock in "this and this could happen if you do this under these conditions" that one finds on the Internet. People will find hypothetical problems with others' methods and equipment simply because it's not theirs and they want to feel superior.
I do swab the port area with a cue-tip to take out excess debris and oil, but I'll believe oil and powder blocking the hole, which has enough GAS pressure coming through it to move a heavy bolt and carrier fast enough to throw my shells 20 feet when I see it.
