  1. ok, I'll see if I dremel it without screwing it up too bad
  2. Ok, will do. I assume you mean the area on the back of the mag, that has obviously been worked on as seen in the 1st photo I posted. I'll see what I can do and report back. May not get a chance before the weekend sadly.
  3. I had some issues today. First off, my S12 runs great... no issues after testing multiple ways/ammo (cheap Wally World stuff with MD20 dump from waist, etc) Mostly I was finding the round (most notably the last round) was not feeding up to the top of the mag and so- and I suspect here too? The first 2 mags I ran, all Winchester AA Sport, ran great - no problems. Then the next few mags ran good except for the last round. Then a couple had issues with the last 2-4 rounds. I took the mag apart, and got quite a bit of debris out of it. I didn't have my tool box with me so no
  4. Range Day!! one stop shopping! Next few days I'll hit a few more shops to see if I can get more variety. And, of course, it gives me a reason to go to the range (like I need one)
  5. From the album: SwissyJim Album

    Range day - hit one ammo shop and got a bit of a selection. I'll hit a few sporting goods stores in the next few days to get even more variety!
  6. call me crazy, but I like that look. S12 or S308... Might have to look into that!
  7. Console? They suck... mouse/keyboard rules for shooters! Some time ago, there was a cross platform game (some ice planet shooter) and they arranged an xbox vs pc game - the PC team cleaned up the battlefield with the xbox players.
  8. BCM is pretty top notch. Guy I took my armorer's course from worked there before striking out on his own and he really knew his shit. if half the people know half what he did... I picked up one of their BCG's and it is rock solid.
  9. been on the fence for PayDay2... #1 was pretty decent, but worried it's more of the same?
  10. Well, I never said yell HEY BEAR for miles. I said get their attention before you see each other. Hell, I hike for miles, open country and brush, and I whistle regardless. I talk to myself (and sometimes answer). And yes, I yell HEY BEAR when I get in thick brush. a LOT. And yes, my buddies and I do it hunting, as long as we're not tracking something. Especially if I'm grouse or rabbit hunting - they could care less about noise, but the area by Paxon where I go has a number of bears so I'm fine with being noisy. But we always see our moose and caribou way before they can hear us. And we do jus
  11. man, it would probably be in the summer and I don't leave AK in the summer... best tiem to be up here! Dead of winter, when it's -25f and colder... sure, sign me up.
  12. My comment about 'idiot' is the article said he yelled 'Hey Bear' when he saw it, but no mention of saying it BEFORE he saw it. Had he been yelling it the whole hike, the bear most likely would not have been seen. Walking to within sight THEN yelling it constitutes surprising the bear and the prelude to either a mauling or bear killing. If he was walking quietly and only said hey bear upon seeing the bear, then he is truly an idiot. The point is you have to get the bears attention BEFORE you and it see one another, to give him a chance to leave. If he decides to stay at that point... well, sor
  13. most hunting guides use either 12ga slugs or 45/70. Wild West Guns has made a name for themselves up here with their 45/70 guide model, which will break down and be easier to transport via the smaller planes. Me, I pack a .44mag and common sense. (but I did get into the Saia12 for use near the cabin I use every year) The thing that irks me about the shooting here was the guy just then said 'hey bear' when he saw it? idiot. In over 40 years up here, and I spend a LOT of time in the woods, I have yet to have a bear encounter. And not for the lack of opportunity - I've stepped in a number of
  14. I found some 40's and they run great in my Colt 6920 and Tavor. Altho I do not shoot steel cased so I cannot comment on that. I got mine at Botach Tact with free shipping.
  15. I killed a Fenix (TK15 I think?) on my S12 doing 100rnds as quickly as possible (relaibilty test fun). Also killed a Primary Arms Gen2 weapon light (no surprise) and one other I forget. Right now I have a Powertac Warrior on and still running bright. Nice thing was both the dead lights were fixed no questions/hassles and reside on lesser weapons.
  16. Man I wish I could do online sales. I'm reduced to hitting the local places when I know their shipments come it. Hit it luck last week and actually scored a 525 brick of .22 for $24. Already told the wife not to bitch when I buy more when it's in stock more. Thougth I was pretty well stocked, but Still learning what stocked is I guess. If I could stop going to the range I'd be ok...
  17. be happy to test them myself... marine environment, wet environment, winter... well, in a couple of months a winter environment! LOL Regardless, looks like another item to purchase from you! (.308 mags are the shit BTW)
  18. Sorry man... been there and getting close again. Worse thing about dogs is the never live long enough. Still sad over loosing my girl 2 years ago, and tearing up right now knowing that my boy is getting close himself. Rainbow Poem is ok, but I've always liked this much better: "He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."
  19. Started seeing 7.62x39 ammo in bulk lately... sucks I don't have one! May have to remedy that situation... need .223 and .308, not to mention 22lr. Just wish I could take advantage of the stuff being sold online- shipping kills me. Unless anyone wants to take a vacation and drive up to AK? I would pay, and you'd get some fishing out of it!
