  1. The same exact thing happened four years ago. I remember buying 1,000 rounds of 7.62x39 cheap from my uncle last year because he was hoarding it ammo in 2008 and he just wanted to get rid of some. People will get scared, drive prices up for a little while, then things normalize when they realize that we have the same president that we've had for the last four years. If you feel like paying premium for something that can be had cheap a year from now though, I'm sure the gun shops will appreciate your impatience.
  2. The first gun I ever fired was my Mosin-Nagant 91/30. I bought it less than a year ago and I don't ever plan on selling it. Its sitting in a case at the foot of my bed at my parent's house, next to my Saiga.
  3. I remember in high school, for the first three weeks of class every year, idiots would keep bringing guns and knives to school. Then they'd get expelled and we'd just be left with the kids who would fight every day. Watching faculty beat the shit out of teenagers never gets old. Hell, if that guy worked at my old school, he might have gotten a raise. On the bright side, its easy to score an eighth when every third kid is a drug dealer. Going to school in the ghetto is a laugh riot.
  4. In Russian, Tsar translates to cartoonishly oversized. Check out the Tsar Bomba:
  5. Yet we still have to take our shoes off at the airport. Way to go DHS.
  6. For the record, I would trust the person I know more than the intruder I don't. However, it would be a tough call for me. If I make that decision and they accidentally kill an innocent bystander, or are otherwise screwed by the courts due to my decision to arm them, there is always going to be that doubt. Remember that this is an untrained user with one of your guns. I guess I really shouldn't expect anybody on a gun forum to say no, but I do think it is an interesting question.
  7. Even people who train to use guns and know the law can get into trouble. In a robbery, people are prone to freezing up and making irrational decisions. I want to know if people think it is wise to give an untrained user a firearm in that state of mind. I would say you are taking a risk either way. Suppose the only gun you have is an AK with 30 round magazines. If they see a robber with all that adrenaline, they might pull the trigger as many times as they can without thinking. Or something more high powered, like a Mosin-Nagant. If they had never fired it before, they might not realize
  8. Well since this is a hypothetical, suppose you are living with roommates who aren't opposed to using a gun for self defense but just never got around to going to the range with you. In real life, I doubt this poll would apply to more than a few people on this board.
  9. Suppose somebody breaks into your house at a time when YOU are unable to use firearms. Say you broke both of your thumbs or you are recovering from eye surgery. Either way, you are unable to safely wield a firearm. Would you trust an untrained spouse or loved one with one of your guns to defend your family? Say it is just the two of you in one locked room, no kids, waiting for the person to go away. You don't send them out to go find the guy or anything, you would just give them the gun in case the person tried to get into your room. If you say yes, what would you tell them? I doubt an
  10. I paid $300 for a NIB 16 inch when JG had a sale around September of last year. $20 FFL, $20 shipping. Its an election year, so prices are climbing and they are probably going to keep climbing until at least December.
  11. Mosin-Nagant + bayonet = Weird looks at the range. I hate how the rifle doesn't shoot straight without foot long, heavy ass metal spike at the end. It does look awesome though.
  12. You are asking whether to buy a Saiga or a Ruger on a Saiga forum. I don't think you'll get much support for the Ruger. That being said, if I were going to spend that much money, I would just go the extra mile and get an AR. The Ruger costs too much for what it is, especially when you can have a comparable Saiga that is so much cheaper.
  13. How can you tell if its threaded under the shroud? Did anyone here take a picture of one that was threaded before they opened it up? If mine is threaded, I want to cut it but if its not I'll just leave it alone. I don't want to take the risk of cutting it open and finding no threads. Also, Haldir, if yours doesn't have any threads you can make them yourself. Here is a video on how:
  14. Be sure to annihilate the inhibitor paper before you accidentally wrap your lunch in it. Also, the wood looks great on it. Can't wait to see it finished.
  15. Yeah, I'm still hanging around here, but I don't have any place to keep my rifles, so I haven't been able to go shooting while I'm here. I just go when I get back to Jacksonville. I'm not taking any summer classes so I'll be getting my fill then before I have to come back for the fall. Also, HOLY SHIT. That wall looks like the aftermath of a crime scene.
  16. I've only ever been to a nice, well staffed range on the other side of town in Jacksonville. I did look up ranges when I moved away though, and there is this one range in Tallahassee where I live now that is just mad ghetto. Seriously, I'm talking about blood trails leading to the bathroom, people firing downrange on a cold line while people are setting up targets, sweeps, EVERYTHING. http://www.tallahasseegunforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29949 This particular link is a good example, but go up one level and pretty much that entire sub-forum is composed of stories for that one ra
  17. Reminds me of this: http://www.amazon.co...ASIN=B0002CYTL2 Some of the reviews are pretty hilarious. All joking aside, what kind of kid plays with a security checkpoint? If you are gonna make a toy out of something at the airport, the fucking plane would be a good place to start.
  18. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN_RKCA9vNc&feature=related I'm moving to Missouri.
  19. I think that was the point, they gave him bare bones safety instructions and let him have it. http://www.dailymail...ing-family.html That is an ACTUAL JACK THOMPSON QUOTE. This is Grand Theft Auto, the game series where you had the option of leveling up your pistol wielding skill to "Hitman" and running around with two .45 handguns held sideways.They seem to think that a game like that would bother with all the little things like proper maintenance, zeroing adjustments, breath and trigger control, or cheek welds.
  20. I bought my Saiga from JG around October last year and it had a dimpled receiver. I haven't messed with the shoulder thing that goes up yet so I don't know if there are threads on it.
