Maybe next time we'll luck out and he'll perform this test on his temple. Fucking idiot.
Side note: If you have a Glock or other striker-fired gun and you need to perform a contact shot and don't want the slide to be pushed out of battery, just push on the back of the slide with your thumb. You won't hurt your thumb at all, and you'll be able to squeeze off that one shot without risk of pushing the slide OOB. Of course, you'll need to manually rack the next round into the chamber.
Helpful tip for when the zombies attack.
This has been a community service announcement, brought to you by Brawndo; It's got electrolytes.
Try your own suggestion and let us know how that works out, if you still have that thumb attached or not.

I'll add a big positive plus to CSS also. Purchased several times from him, most recently this past week. Order quickly confirmed via e-mail, tracking info is always sent, and it gets out of his shop to my door FAST! Thanks, Greg.

Believe it or not, I bought a set from Harbor Freight several years ago (more like five or six years) just to see how well it worked. I had gotten tired of always having to lift up the regular 'ears' to hear any conversation and range instructions. The set was on sale for less than $20. Worked so well I went and bought two more, one for the wife and another for a spare. The original is still working great. With normal shooting (.45, .44 Mag pistols, 5.56 and 7.62 rifles, no really big boomers), the set works great, are comfy, and the noise cutoff works well. The amplification on the mic is adjustable, so if the range instructor is at the far end of the line, I can still hear him.

I recently got a Draco from Centerfire Systems. (Currently accepting backorders.) Mine was backordered about a month. I'm pleased with mine. The only thing I didn't like about it was that the top cover was fitted very tightly and curved inward slightly on the right side, which scratched the exposed bolt carrier when it was pulled/operated to the rear. Some careful filing and a small sanding drum on a Dremel tool fixed it perfectly.
Per Moe Zambeak's example, I also just used some paracord to make a small loop for a single point sling. I looped it with two twisted strands, made about four knots (alternating strand ends), and shoved the knots down into the hollow grip. I also relieved just enough of the grip material at the rear to allow the grip to sit flush with the receiver yet still have some compression on the extended cord loop. Works great.

That glove ain't for the cold, is it?!!!

From Canada down to Brazil and Chile, I think there's only three or four smaller Latin American countries I've not been in for some time(s) or gone through. No damn way I'd ever think about moving to anyplace south of the U.S. I know people move south for supposed financial reasons, retirement, etc. I try to not be too judgmental, but here I have to say to move south is just stupid. IMHO. YMMV.

GPS should be just another tool for situational awareness. I see pilots, mostly the younger set and/or more affluent ones, who use the latest GPS navigation and just follow the line on the screen and cannot tell you exactly where they are on an aeronautical chart. No concept of constantly re-evaluating all parameters. My best navigational tool is my thumb on the map, and like some others have said, a bit of common sense.

Definitely hold one in your hand first. You might find it too large. There is now a Glock 21 SF (I think it's SF) that has a slimmer frame/grip. I don't have small hands, but the regular 21 I had ten years ago was too large. Never could get used to it or adjust enough to shoot it as well as I needed.

I really like the idea, but that is too much money for me. If it were about $100 w/ 24mm threads as previously mentioned, it would be a hot seller. The S308 doesn't recoil hard and many (if not most) don't want a break. I much rather have a flash hider, especially on a 16" S308. Please don't get me wrong, I am not knocking the product and am happy to have more options, but it doesn't appeal to me personally.
One of the reasons I think it is too much is that I had King Armory cut my barrel from 22.5" to 18", precision thread for a sound suppressor, rework/repin my front sight and refinished the area for just a little bit more. Not to mention, I got great service from them. I am not limited to just a single break and it is concentric to the bore (for use with my YHM Phantom QD suppressor). King Armory is working on future products, but like many of us, they have to pay the bills first. I hope the economy picks up and they can pick up the pace.
The precision thread for the YHM QD unit is exactly what I considered, plus the ability to use other things. So, I take it that you can definitely recommend KA for this?
Thanks.

Cool idea and raffle.
Just a thought--why not save yourself some money (postage) and a lot of your time and effort mailing out actual tickets? Could you not just assign successive numbers to raffle participants in the order which you received the payments? Keep a log of the info and numbers, buyers, etc. Send an e-mail to the ticket buyers stating which 'number' the buyer purchased. Just use the ticket stubs you have to put in the barrel for the missus to pick out on the video, for the random factor.
I suppose some folks might not be as trusting and would like to have the physical ticket in hand, however, I'd venture to say your record/presentation here would prove enough.
Looking for my check book now............

Another +1 for Dinzag's stuff. It was drop-in easy on my S-308.

what about the sleeve on the hammer/sear assy? Do I have to drill out the sear? Stickies? Sorry, what are stickies?
All the topics listed in the Important Topics sections are stickies........

Very nice finished product. Good job.

Bob, that is excellent!
Thanks for the pics so some of us copycats, er, emulators, can get inspired.

I second the .308 drum option.
And congratulations.

Looks great! Excellent post.

What nalioth said.
And welcome to the board and the Saiga.
Also, if you're totally new to this site, you'll find that any post by nalioth will be worth viewing.
Thanks, nalioth.

Sorry to start my first message with a cry for help.
I just got my Saiga 12 and want to trick it out a bit. I recently learned about 922r compliance. So I thought an easy compliant part would be a gas piston. However, I cannot release it from the bolt-carrier assembly. Is there a trick? Is there somewhere I could watch video of pro's modifying their gear?
I'm thinking of renting a gas torch---I'm so frustrated!
Thanks
For the shotgun, the piston rod is not what counts. Just change out the puck at the forward end of the gas tube. On the gas setting plug, push in the pin and unscrew the plug (screw it out of the opening). You can then take the gas puck out by pointing barrel down (if the gas tube is not full of fouling). If the puck is stuck, then just push it out from the rear of the gas tube with a dowel rod or something.

go down there and get your shit.

It's like going in for some very serious surgery. You talk to the older, experienced doc who's successfully and masterfully (?) done hundreds of the same operation. Business is good for him, but how about the young new partner getting a little experience on you? The old doc will still be close by, just not personally doing the job.
Ehh, I think I'll wait. When I get the chance to buy a Tromix, I want a TROMIX.

The police overreacted here. I can see no justification for the arrest of a man on his own property engaged in gardening, no matter if he does choose to be armed to the teeth.
+1 here. However, I'm all for being inconspicous, desire no attention at all.

Same kind of hazard as working on the farm with tractor PTO's, exposed driveshafts, etc. One catch of the shirt or anything and you are ripped to shreds or spun around and broken to pieces at the least.
