5 cents/round actually sounds pretty good after what we've been through over the last couple of years.

No, you need to look for pouches and gear that are sized for 308 magazines.

I can't speak to the CZ, but with regard to single vs. double stack magazines, I don't think the trade off is worth it. Unless you're a tiny little guy that wears tight clothing, you should have no problem concealing a double stack pistol, even under a loose fitting t-shirt. They might not be quite as comfortable as some super slim single stack, but if you find a pistol that you can shoot well and is moderately concealable, just dealing with it and carrying it for six months or so will solve the problem when it comes to comfort. Eventually it gets to the point where you notice it more when

I'm not really a big fan of them. They can get in the way when loading shorter magazines, they are easier to engage accidentally, and there's nothing wrong with the standard mag latches especially if that's what you have practice with. If you want to go aftermarket and the easy route, you can try the M+M MRL kit. It's a slightly extended release and comes with a little slave pin and e-clip to make installation about as easy as can be with this particular part. Supposedly the angle at the top of the catch minimizes mag wobble but the jury is still out on that one. Dinzag makes a u

These are all good suggestions, but it's also very possible that it's the ammo. I have had five failure to fires out of my recent case of Golden Tiger. These have been with several different rifles that are otherwise reliable. On inspection, the primers were set a little bit too far into the case causing light primer strikes. I have shot a ton of GT and never had problems but this recent case has been problematic. As you can see in the photo below, the round on the left did not fire and the primer is inset into the case. The round on the right fired without issue and is there for comp

You may know what you're doing but if you've never swapped out a mag latch you might want to look into what's involved. It's not that hard, but it can be a bit frustrating the first time you mess with it. There are lots of good videos on YouTube and I would suggest checking them out if you've never done this before. Keep in mind that the pin that holds the latch is flared, so you will probably have to drill it out and replace it. You'll also need a way to flare the new pin. You can use a press or a vice/ball bearing combo. You can even get it done with a ball bearing and a hammer if you'r

Very nice. This was the first AK I ever owned way back in 2001, and I still regret getting rid of it. It looks like this one is in great shape and the wire folder and threaded barrel are nice bonuses.

I placed the order online understanding that all online transactions have inherent risk. Luckily, if someone gets a hold of your card number, most banks and credit card issuers make it very easy to reverse the charges. I buy a ton of crap online and have only had my card compromised once. It was a slight hassle, but well worth it for all of the deals I've been able to get online over the years.

I have purchased from them several times and had no issues. They seem to be good about customer service. I would not hesitate to order from them again. I hope that helps.

That's what they are. It's a safety factor built into all conventional slugs because the overwhelming majority of firearm owners are idiots! ... Not just because of idiots. It makes them more versatile and also more accurate. The accuracy is due to the tight alignment to bore, not imparted spin. A loose fitting slug does badly. A slug which must be swaged through the barrel is always a perfect fit. Nice. I was one of those idiots until today. I love those moments when you learn something that you should have questioned a long time ago. Someone told me as a teenager that

Here's his group in case you don't care to watch the video but are still curious.

Another video from this guy... I like how he compares the trajectory to firing a mortar. His comments at 3:40 about what appears to be rifling on "rifled slugs" are interesting. Is this common knowledge or controversial?

If you have a Kalashnikov USA (RWC) conversion, I believe that they machined the magazine latch down a little too short on a lot of them. I think they set them up for the US PALM magazine, but you'll have a lot of front/back (up and down) wobble with surplus and other magazines that can cause feeding issues. You may need to swap out your mag latch if it will only run with the US Palms.

That photo is of a Century Arms conversion. It looks like a standard S12 so if your SGM magazines are rock 'n lock, they should work fine.

There are lots of videos showing some extremely risky live fire training by the Russians but this one will really make you cringe... Edit: Apparently these are not actually Russians, but Ukrainian contractors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXOhVYtoWz0

I really like these RPK pouches with the shoulder strap. The flap will close over the top of any stick mag 10 rounds or less. (Izzy 8, CSspecs, SGM, AGP, etc...)

Not my video, but no reason it shouldn't....

I remember passing on a new S12 at my LGS for $315.00. I really wanted one, but already had a Mossberg 500 and it didn't seem justifiable on a college kid's budget. Granted, that was 15 years ago. Fast forward to 2012 when I bought my first S12 and the price had more than doubled. I seem to remember the rifles being similarly priced at the time, but this was in the days of $225.00 WASRs and SAR1s.

Cowitness refers to the ability to see and use your iron sights through an optic without removing it. There are different variations. Absolute cowitness means that when the optic is zeroed, the dot will sit on top of your front sight post when it's properly aligned with the rear. The benefit of this is that it lets you use the same cheek weld for both irons and the dot. Also very common are mounts/optics with a lower 1/3 cowitness. This means that when zeroed, the dot will be up higher than the irons, but the irons are still visible in the lower 1/3 of the optic. It is a nice featur

Legion has a great deal on these with sidefolders on them. They have a Magpul version too if you prefer that. https://www.legionusa.com/russian-ak-saiga-izsl-mw-.223rem-rifle.html

That's very nice of you to say so, but I'm not that easily offended. I think everyone has the same reaction when they see information that seems obvious to them presented as though it's something new. You're a gentleman all the same.

It was new to me.

The few times that this has come up, I usually just slide off the floorplate (carefully) and dump the rounds out of the bottom, but I tried this method and it works pretty well so I figured I'd share it here.

I ran across this on YT this morning and figured I'd post it here. This wood/triangle folder combination looks really good!
