  1. Due to the short length, I was not planning on it. If I have to, I will sleeve it as GunFun suggested, but I still question how much pressure the gas tube has to endure as all of them leak like a sieve when fired, ported or not.
  2. At this point that is the plan. Just don't want it to go boom in places it's not supposed to.
  3. Both are 20mm +\- .05 mm OD. The interior of the Mini tube is smaller. With the larger ID replacement tube installed, I have hand cycled the piston rod numerous times. There does not seem to be any excess play and everything is smooth.
  4. I am finishing up a SBR build with a Mini Draco as the starting point. I have come up with a way to put a traditional looking AK handguard on the front but have a couple of concerns and need some advice from those here that build or manufacture. Here is the gun with the handguards I want to mount: I want to use a cut down regular sized gas tube with the upper hand guard mounting bracket. I have cut one down and it fits well on the Mini with no play: My question comes in with the comparison of the standard gas tube and the factory mini Draco gas tube. Although they have th
  5. Sounds hauntingly reminiscent of that cross the "red line" warning to Syria. I am sure the Trump Administration is quaking in its boots.
  6. From the album: New Stuff

    Still need to refine lower hand guard shape a little, attach retainers, and refinish the entire gun. Fun little SBR project based off the mini Draco.
  7. Always proud of her even if she didn't have a creative bone in her body. I see her heart and wish that I could be that full of grace, love, and compassion. Can't cook worth a darn! , but she is going to make my future son-in-law very happy. If he complains, I'll bury his body in a shallow grave that no one will ever find. Kidding of course. She's a good girl, and I love her dearly.
  8. I can't bring myself to do it. I am probably being paranoid, but I will not voluntarily put my DNA in a database regardless of the reason. I understand the excitement of those who do to try to somehow connect to their roots. But for me that does not matter as much, I am an American, and danged proud of it. Any other ethnicities or countries of origin are secondary to that identity.
  9. My daughter Kayla wanted to make a unique gift for her boyfriend who has started collecting knives over the years. She used wood from trees that I had to remove from our property, and did all the work herself, with the exception of the angle cuts at the top of the teepee. I did those for her, not because I didn't think she could do them, but because we did them with a chop saw and they required some dangerous cuts to achieve the proper angles. She did a fine job on what I think is a very cool display! Here is hoping and praying that everyone enjoys a blessed new year.
  10. 21 more days....and good riddance! There is nothing Obama does at this point (or most of his miserably failed administration), that can't be undone with a pen and a phone and someone not afraid to use it. Live by the EO, your legacy dies by the EO. (You egotistical, narrsicistic, napolionic, power hungry, little man)
  11. I am not sure whether to congratulate or commiserate, maybe a little bit of both. Hope you get to feeling 100% soon YOT.
  12. Sorry YOT, I have never had one but hear the pain is horrible. Hope you recover soon and can enjoy what's left of your time off.
  13. Putting others before ourselves despite the cost always pays dividends.
  14. The UTG Pro mount is centered and not offset. To MM's point, with the differences in tolerances and the side mounts on the receiver, it is impossible to say it is exactly centered, but to the naked eye it looks center bore. I have one that I cut down on my S12 and had one on my X39. With both I could still use the front irons through the v notch. The Pros are solid mounts for the price, I have not had issues with either, however I have only mounted red dots and not high power optics where issues might be more noticeable. Pics below of the S12 for you reference: Hope this was helpful
  15. I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers John, and will be praying specificallyfor your mom, my friend.

    AK63DS

    According to Prepper Gun Shop, the parts description is as follows: The Century Arms International AK63D is an excellent rifle that will satisfy any AK aficionados needs. The Century Arms AK63D is constructed using quality Hungarian parts including the underfolder stock, sights, gas block, premium furniture, bolt and bolt carrier. These are paired with the modern manufacturing processes of brand new US made 4140 steel milled receiver, barrel, compensator, trigger group and a 100 percent new black coating. The result is a fantastic firearm that is giving shooters an excellent tool for defen
  18. One I was thinking of today, and could have been done for a while is square back VEPRs. Why has Molot not made/imported thousands upon thousands of those while Saigas are under EO ban? If those were on the market today, I would be parting with some of my cash.There are solutions to the square back delimea True, just not clean enough for my tastes.
  19. We are actually going in the opposite direction with this property. The range as currently laid out is 400 yards from the shooting house location (materials onsite but yet to be built) to the target stands which consist of AR 500 plates and stands for paper. The range is graduated in 100 yards increments. We have about 25 acres in pasture now that will need to be maintained. I have a neighbor who cuts it for hay so I only worry about the shooting lane which is easily handled with the tractor and bush hog, and the area around the barn which is what the Murray is used for. It beats the hec
