  1. Has anyone heard any more information about a potential release date?
  2. Not quite 30mm, but 25mm isn't too shabby - Barrett XM109. http://www.vincelewis.net/25mm.html
  3. They can legally do it if you agree to it - which is what is in all that tiny writing, buried deep in a bunch of legalese. Just like Facebook, Reddit, Pintrist, etc. do. If you don't want their services, you can opt out of all those. The TV data collection is easy to opt out of, you just have to know to do it. Or just don't buy a smart TV.
  4. Not the first, or worst, time something like this happened. When the news reported this, I figured that, though it was a tragedy, it could have been easily avoidable and the suspect probably wouldn't be convicted. http://www.kbtx.com/home/headlines/Man-Charged-With-Killing-Burleson-County-Deputy-No-Billed-by-Grand-Jury-243993261.html
  5. I never bought the slide fire/bumpski stock, but this video is the entire reason I bought my S-12. The smile on his face after dumping that drum just screams "buy this gun!" So I did, and every time I do a mag or drum dump, I get that same smile. . http://youtu.be/j_W1pLT7xSA
  6. Not sure this is quite what you're looking for, but it's available and cheaper than BHA - I got one for my V-54, but haven't installed it yet. http://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/product_p/dph-ak47-tabuk-brake.htm
  7. I'm almost embarrassed to post here, as I am a casual mechanic, and don't even know if this is applicable, but it might be... I had mushy brakes a while back, changed out all the obvious things, was dreading changing out the master cylinder, then found the problem was the vacuum hose had gotten mushy from heat, and everytime I mashed the brakes, the hose would collapse. $0.90 later, 10 minutes to change the hose, and my brakes were great. Please be gentle on any mocking...I don't even know if the vacuum system comes into play in your situation, but if so, might be something to look at
  8. Atlantic has a couple different models a shade under $900. I got mine about a year ago for just under $800 - it was one of the V1 square-backs with firewood stocks, so that price isn't out of line for ones with nice wood (hehe!).
  9. Not sure if this kit would do an entire gun, but you could do accents or buy additional solution. http://www.caswellplating.com/electroplating-anodizing/gold-plating-kits/gold-brush-plating/plug-n-plate-gold-kit.html There's also different coatings, so you could chrome plate part or all.
  10. Might be a dumb question, but why let that stop me... What's the advantage/purpose of shooting gloves? Is it shock absorption, heat protection, abrasion resistance? Cold weather protection is obvious. I hope that all didn't come across as sarcastic or accusatory...I really don't know. Thanks!
  11. I already had quite a bit of x54r sitting around that I had acquired for my Mosins. I'm a big fan of consolidating ammo calibers, so the Vepr 54r was a pretty easy choice. I've had 2 of the 20 round mags on order since February - just waiting for them to actually ship.
  12. Years ago there was a graphic artist that had some sample pics up on his site. Apparently, there was a really cool dragon that excited the goth crowd, and thousands of people were linking to it for their Myspace background, killing his bandwidth allotment. He kept the filename while changing the picture to the classic "goatse" (google at your own risk). Suddenly thousands of kids suddenly had pictures of a nasty distended anus plastered all over their social page.
  13. I'll probably have one for sale pretty soon - one of the better prices I've seen on the Type III AK bayonets just happens to come with a BHO mag and some other stuff. http://www.classicfirearms.com/yugoakap
  14. There are pistol grip options out there for unconverted S-12's - only effort is removing the buttstock and replacing with new unit. Example: http://www.saiga-12.com/proddetail.asp?prod=AGP004

    I threw the Maadi/Mak-90 one http://tinyurl.com/k7utp8b���onto my Vepr - it doesn't have the greatest fit, as the square-back rifle doesn't seem to really be 90 degrees square (or maybe it's the stock?). You pretty much have to choose to have the stock tight to the vertical portion by the tang, and have a gap by the trigger, or tight to the horizontal and aligned with the trigger, but have a gap by the tang. I snugged the stock against the trigger. The stock attaches at 2 points - the gripscrew and the tang. This allows the stock to wiggle and creak a bit. All that said, I'd probably g

    I'm working up to that as cheap as I can...I bought one of the "firewood stock" square-backs a while ago. Put on an ATI Dragunov stock I had sitting around, drilled out some slots in the forestock, and purchased the tabuk/Dragunov flash-hider (haven't installed that yet). I do plan on getting one of the POSP scopes, and I have the trigger conversion so that I can be all 922r happy. 20 round mags on order. I figure at that time, I'll be as close to Dragunov as I can. Total cost with scope, mags, etc. will be close to $1200-1300. Even though the 7.62x54r surplus is kinda scarce
  17. I'm already thinking this is a stupid question/comment, but I'll throw it out anyway... In another thread on the DS Mag topic (and maybe way back in this one) there is a link to the patent application. Skimming through it, there's a lot of reference to rimmed cartridges, and the occasional specific reference to shotgun shells. So here's my question up for ridicule...Is it just a coincidence that at the same time the double-to-single stack 20rnd box magazine for the S-12 is forthcoming, SG Ammo is releasing a double-to-single stack 20rnd box magazine for the Vepr 7.62x54r? It would
  18. For a while, the website logo wasn't Classicfirearms, it was Futurefirearms.
  19. These guys sell the whole perimeter kit - here's the blanks they sell for them: http://aa-ok.com/12ga-blanks-for-our-hv5-alarm.html
  20. Greetings all, I'm looking to get some glass for my Vepr 7.62x54r, and have narrowed it down to 3 of the POSP options. I'd like some advice on pros/cons of the different ones. 3-9x42 from Kalinka, $330: http://kalinkaoptics.com/catalog/product/view/id/343/ 3-9x42V from Eastwave, $339: http://www.eastwavescope.com/index.php? ... 68&lang=en 4-8x42VD from Eastwave, $299: http://www.eastwavescope.com/index.php? ... 69&lang=en Is the zoom versatility between the 2 Eastwave options worth $40? If so, is there any significant difference between the two 3-9x42 options (other than
  21. Kalinka optics seems to be the go-to for Russian scopes, though east wave scope seems to be the other place to check. Google will find you the websites (I don't think we're encouraged to link to non-forum vendors).
  22. In that situation, not at all... it's just a BHO method, not LRBHO. Some ranges require that magazines are removed and the bolt locked open when the range is cold. If your gun doesn't have an installed BHO you could shove something in the breach or you could try this method. (Or try the other mentioned options like notching your safety.)
  23. Happy to oblige! This was on my S-12, it's the same procedure on my VEPR. Sorry about the flickering light at the end - phone LED does that after about 30 seconds of being on...
  24. The guys at Center Balanced Rifle have an option or two as well.
