  1. After recently parting ways with my beloved Saiga 12 to purchase an equally beloved 1980 Suzuki GS1000, I got the bright idea to "replace" my 12 gauge with a pump action. Not wanting to spend $500 - $1000 for a real remington 870, I decided to settle with the IAC Hawk 982 Chinese knock-off. I figured for $200, I could afford to do the maintenance myself. Plus, I like the stock sights and furniture better than any other pump I've come across at gun stores. Anyways, I finally got around to buying the damn thing last week from a real friendly group of fellas here in Raleigh, NC. I dr
  2. Jack, That seems to be the problem. I appreciate your help, thank you!
  3. 3.29 sounds about right. I'm full length resizing. The seating die was already set when I started using it, so I should probably remeasure everything. The brass is fire formed and have been reloaded maybe 5 - 10 times already. I should point out that this problem is a hit or miss. Sometimes they seat no problem but today I did four and all four had the "wiggle."
  4. Hello all, I'm reloading a 7mm rem mag cartridge using the Lee single stage press given to me by my step-dad last year. It works pretty well with my 9mm dies but for some reason I can't figure out how to use the 7mm seating die properly. I can seat a 139 gr bullet with the OAL spot on, but the problem is that I can "wiggle" the bullet just a hair. I can't remove the bullet (it's seated and the length is correct) but I can wiggle it and even twist it around. I found another guy (on another forum http://thefiringline.com/forums/archive/index.php?t-397171.html ) who was having
  5. I've lowered the price and moved the ad to gunbroker.com for any still interested, so please check us out there... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=348317553
  6. Bull shit; I watched your multi-part series on the Rem 870 Magpul Forend mod for saiga's and it was way better quality than any of Nutnfancy's stuff. The detail provided me with more than enough info to finish my own projects. I've never seen anything like that by Nutnfancy, and as a fellow AG, I appreciate a how-to video with 1) detail photography and 2) not so fucking dry and boring. Good work on that! And, Nutnfancy has a squeaky voice... there I said it.

  8. I think there was already a thread like this moved over to the politics forum...
  9. I noticed nobody referenced these, but here are two of my favorites... buscraft usa - you have a dig a little, but I've learned so much from this site. stevespages - good stuff. all free (well technically our tax dollars paid for all of it). donate to the man instead of paying Barnes and Noble $25 for FM 12-76 And then for light reading, my grandmother made me read this book growing up. Here's a blurb on the Fox Fire series: "In the late 1960's, Eliot Wigginton and his students created the magazine Foxfire in an effort to record and preserve the traditional folk culture of
  10. Yeah, this definitely is a quality forum. At first I only made an account to sell my saiga because I had buyer's remorse earlier last year. Then I made another ad around November trying to sell again because I'm going to back to grad school instead of the military, but still, no offers. That being said, recently I started digging around the forums, looking at the wealth of knowledge, and fell in love with the gun again. From gunsmithing to reloading, this forum is an engineer's wet dream. Thanks Saiga-12.com!
  11. From the comments. And I need you to stop posting interesting reads; my work isn't going to write itself!
  12. I'm diggin that forend too.
  13. Damn... just wow. It's amazing how one piece of misinformation can shape/drive a national debate. I'm imagining all of the heated Christmas dinner conversations on gun control and "assault style AR-15 type" weapons and their legitimacy... for nothing.
