[PTR Industries Rent Past Due]

x51 is what I'm looking at since it would make a good hunting rifle [really I just always wanted a .308 and considered an S308 opposed to the S12 for my first gun, but I need to justify such things with some sort of practicality].

 

"Practicality". The S12 is NOT practical for most civvie purposes, but it is a helluva lot of fun. It needs no justification. .308 is a good round, but it can get expensive in a hurry. Despite which i have a very expensive AR10 piston clone and am considering a bolt action.

[Kalashnikov's new PL-14 or 'Lebedev' 9mm Pistol]

Eh, the proportions look odd to me, especially the part of the slide over the beavertail. I would much rather get a GP K100 mk12 (which is on my wishlist).

[I don't ask very often, but...]

Why didn't they spend another bullet while they were at it? Now the taxpayer will have to pick up the hospital cost besides the prison cost.

Don't worry, the gays will eventually die out. Why? *coughbecausetheycan'treproducecough*. Shocker.

I want a sniper rifle, and a bazooka, and a Sherman, and a P38....

Well just imagine how much worse if he had an AR with a 900 round clip drum and a tactical laser sight. He probably would have killed every black in South Carolina. Maybe the world.

Don't forget a shoulder thingy that goes up and a stabby brake.

History is written by the victors.

 

 

And when the "victors" become those who whine the loudest, we are f***ed. America has degenerated into adolescence. When is the majority going to get sick of the crap being thrown at them? Elephant gets tired of the biting fly and smashes it dead.

[Free trade will kill American Unions.]

I've worked beside Union workers before. One time I was cutting concrete for detector loops around lunch time and I wanted to keep going and take lunch later because it was going well. Well the union guys all got upset and hollered at me to shut down because I was violating their "right to have quiet during lunch". Pissed me off.

 

Banding together to protest bad wages and conditions is one thing, but once things become "organized" they tend to degrade quickly. It's all plastic bugs anyway.

I was a union member for 9 years. I was also that 1 guy in about 5 that was actually there to work. I was one of the few that realized the company I was working for needed to stay profitable to be financially strong. I always stayed working while others would work a little when the company had to have a certain number of people on a job during a certain phase and would get laid off at the first available opportunity. Most guys in our union were in a competition with one another to see who could do the least work. Guys would brag about doing crossword puzzles all day, brag about leaving all day and coming back at the end of the day to make it look like they were on the job, brag about taking a shit for 2 hours, brag about hiding all day and sleeping off their hangover, brag about how little material they used all day, brag about showing up for 15 minutes and leaving just to get their 2 hour show up time, etc.. They were proud of their sorriness. Over the years, union contractors in our trade went out of business until it has dwindled down to 1 union contractor in our territory. That same local union is about to go under and last I heard there was less than 10% of the membership that were employed locally. Many of the worthless guys in the local chose to work on travel and were happily accepted in some of the Northern territories where unions are more powerful and you are cast out if you do too much work.

 

An event happened that caused me to leave my union. Each trade has its "work". I was always respectful of even the most minute amount of work that belonged to other trades. For instance, lowering a pipe hangar belonged to the pipefitters. If I needed a pipe hanger lowered, I would consult with the pipefitter's foreman and see if they wanted to send a guy over to do it or if they would rather me do it. There was a very clear line of what was my work and that was all I did unless I was instructed by other crafts to proceed with something they didn't have the time or desire to do that fell under their jurisdiction. Onward, I was on a job where I was doing some of our most hated, nasty work in a very tight space. It was break time and I came out of my hole to find an entire crew of pipefitters doing work that fell under the jurisdiction of my trade. I let their foreman know that we did indeed want that work and that we had a lot of guys on the list that were hungry for work and would be happy to come out the next day, make some money, and do a much better job of it than they were doing. It was our cleanest and lightest work. The foreman told me they would not stop and that I should keep my mouth shut. I called my business agent, which in turn called our international association. The international association directed my business agent to tell me to forget about it. I proceeded to raise absolute hell and excoriated the pipefitters and tell them what shitbags they were for taking food from the mouths of the families of my fellow union members. We had a lot of people "on the bench" at that time, some of which had not gotten work in a long while and it really got under my skin. These people on the bench were guys I had grown very close to over the years. I knew their wives and their kids as well. About 30 minutes later I received a call from the president of the pipefitting company (which is a very powerful force locally) and was told that if I didn't look the other way my local would never have a union man working on one of their jobs again. At that point, I realized that what I had given so much effort and consideration to was a farce and I decided that if my trade was not going to be respected by other union members (supposed "brothers") in other trades that I would close that chapter of my life.... and I did.

 

Unions are nothing more than propaganda machines and their international associations do not give a fuck about anything but their per capita tax, which a significant portion gets donated to democrat politians. You are a fool if you think they actually give a hoot about the rest of it. Nothing else about union activity means anything to them. I would be happy to see every union out there fall. They are no longer needed and they are like parasites. People who work hard have to accept the same pay, benefits, and retirement as the people they "carry" who are sorry as hell. The best purpose that unions serve is to protect people who have a poor work ethic. The hardworking people would be better served to work in an environment where the sorry are paid accordingly or let go without repercussion and where the company wants to pay the quality people more to keep them around. Those sorry ass union brothers of yours are stealing from you, realize it.

 

Some of you may feel butthurt from this and I truly feel sorry for you. Let that butthurt be your own testament to the power and success of propaganda and brainwashing. Pay that per capita.... sucker.

It made me butthurt alright, but at the unions.

[A perfect example of projection]

That is very unfortunate. The crazy guy in my family owns tons of guns so I don't know what I'd do especially since he is like the incredible hulk and has snapped a man's femur over his knee, carried a grown person in a Lay-Z-Boy over his head, and kicked a full deadbolted door clear off the hinges when mad.

 

Load a shotgun with two birdshot, four 00 and the rest with slugs. Birdshot to the face, 00 to the appendages, and on he's blind and crippled use the slugs to finish it.

[Chamber chamfer troubles!]

I just noticed something semi disturbing 

 

This is my Saigas magwell, and it looks very out of spec. If you look at the edges, you can see that the left side of the magwell is extended way further and at a slightly different angle. This can't be normal, or is it?

 

You used Saiga and Spec in the same sentence!

 

I don't think that is an issue, every AK is a little different. It's why we have to fit the mags to the gun.

[I dropped my damn 1911]

I was moving big square bales with the skid steer and I accidentally tipped a 5 high stack of 900 pound bales on my Farmall Cub. Dang thing shrugged it off like it was nothing.

[What Were The Last Things That You Bought (Firearm Related)?]

Tac47 Autoplug

[Ruger SR556SC Piston AR $899]

I have the SR762 and it is a very high quality firearm. The nice thing is that they left the handguard smooth and slim, but with the ability to screw on rails if you want the quad rail. I just put a short piece of rail for a bipod and the grips that came with it to make it a little fatter for my bear paws. Keeps the weight down and looks good too.

[In Other News, Man Kills 3 and Injures 30]

Car engines kill people.

 

 

 

An operator uses a firearm to propel a lethal projectile at high speed. A driver controls a car engine to propel a lethal projectile at high speed.

 

 

 

So if guns kill people, so do car engines.

 

 

 

GO GREEN. SAVE THE EARTH. SAVE THE PEOPLE. BAN CAR ENGINES NOW!

[Newly converted S12]

I forgot to say this earlier in response to OP. Re adjusting the autoplug. They do include instructions, and also have a video on it. Yours must have been missing.

 

In brief:

 

1: get your lightest load you intend to be able to run.(3 dram eq) Load up a mag.

2: Screw the plug most of the way in.

3: back out the plug 1/2 turn until you get a failure to eject. 

4: turn it back in 1/2 turn.

5: count the turns, take plug out. Clean. Reinstall same # of turns, with blue locktite.

 

 

6: after a while the spring will break in, and it will probably need another half turn in  and lock tite.

 

This will tune it to your gun, and also keep recoil from carrier + rear trunion interaction to minimum. 

 

(7:) optional, and I've heard something on this order may be incorporated into new versions: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/gallery/album/1219-tac47-autoplug-gf-magnum-edition-mark-15/

In your opinion, is the autoplug worthwhile to get, especially if I only plan on running 2.75?

[Collections for Boys - Suggestions?]

How about ammo? There are many, many different calibers and types out there. Make a long thin glass case and line them up from .22 CBs to 30 mm shells.

 

Failing that, rocks are a good choice. If you have a gravel driveway with mixed gravel, expect it to be picked over a lot. I've found arrowheads, fossils and fool's gold in gravel loads, besides many colors and shapes of all description. Can be very interesting.

[What is the most rebuildable AK?]

You want something rebuildable? Get an AR15, or AR10 if you want the power. Completely customizable and replaceable.

[Under $100 Red Dot??]

Okay, who necro-bumped this?

 

But while I'm here; Trijicon's are nice, but who can afford to buy a sight that costs as much or more than the gun? I like the Mueller Quick Shot, it's a heavy-duty sight designed to withstand 3.5" Magnum turkey loads and it runs slightly under $100. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00288PRJG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00

[Double Barrel Pump DP-12]

It is pump/semi auto. You pump it which chambers both rounds, then you have to pull the trigger twice.

[SIG Brace Declaratory Relief]

Regulating SBRs really makes no sense when you think about it. They are less concealable and maneuverable than pistols and (if rifle caliber) they fire rounds that are optimized for much longer barrels. Pistol calibers gain a bit of velocity and rifle calibers gain some maneuverability, but the trade-offs counter the gains. So regulating them seems stupid when you get down to brass tacks.

[I don't ask very often, but...]

Blindfold and a boolit. Cheap, quick, painless, if a bit messy. No expensive drugs and long procedures that have the taxpayer paying out the ears and the bleeding hearts crying foul over oxygen starvation.

[Double Barrel Pump DP-12]

Someone needs to make one of these that takes 2 Sidewinder Venom kits, with the drums going on the sides and downward ejection. Two mags to change, yes, but it would be pretty awesome.

 

[Carrier rubbing too heavy on hammer??]

From my observation of this same issue, it looks like the G2 hook needs a bit more meat on the underside of the catch surface so it would hold the hammer down further. Then the carrier would slide forward freely without having to depress the hammer again.

[Double Barrel Pump DP-12]

Ehhh, it's kinda cool looking in a sci-fi sort of way. I would rather have the SRM1216.
