  1. Kalashnikov USA finally shipping Saiga 12

    in Saiga-12

    Is it possible to put "standard" handguards on an unconverted front end? I just looked on Ironwood Design's page [happy they're still around] and they show an S12 with AK  style furniture on it and the gas tube sticks way out in front.SAIGA_12_SHOTGUN_CONVERTED_STOCKS-5.jpeg

     

    as if you can then that pretty much removes my only reservation.

    Sorry to burst your bubble, but that's a picture of a Saiga 308. They must've temporarily used that picture because they don't have the Saiga 12 page set up.

    It is not difficult to fool people that desparetly want to believe the lie.

     

    It is an age old maxum, one that formed one of the basis for Machivalien philosophy. 

     

    Kind puts a good deal of blame on the willingly deceived, I know the bible is full of condemnation for such but hey what did they know.

    My personality type is ISTP. My mental process works in facts and concrete evidence, not emotion. I do my own research and make my own decision. If it's close to an established conspiracy theory, does that make me a fool? I don't think so. As others have commented, there are far, FAR too many verifiable facts on one side and few on the other. One or two oddball facts are one thing, but when they pile up it's only a fool who ignores it. I am under no delusion that the government is truthful, or cares about the citizens. Sure, not everything they do is bad, but in a pinch I would not trust them further than I could throw them.

    I want the HPA to pass, but I am not looking forward to the endless inquiries about "Do you have any silencers for sale?" long after all available distributor level stock have been depleted and has went off the GunBroker for insane prices, which enough people will pay. The availability of newly manufactured cans will look like a trickle in comparison to the demand. Think 2013 panic for silencers instead of AR parts. A $500 can will likely be $2000, and so on. This is the reality of the situation, manufacturers can barely keep up with 8000 SOTs currently. Cans are already being sold and formed that have not even been manufactured yet. If HPA passes, the possible venues for selling these things could open up to about 80,000 or so FFLs, so try to wrap your head around how long it will take manufacturing to come close to meeting the demand of shops just wanting some inventory to sell. How many people who have refused to go NFA will be scrambling to buy a silencer if that passes? It may be a huge contributor to a long term deficit of available inventory. Of course, many manufacturers will be jumping on the bandwagon to offer their own cans and that will ease the pain a bit, but will not fill the massive void.

     

    That is no reason to not pass it. It may take a while but prices and inventory will eventually stabilize. You would also see the rise of easy to manufacture cheap disposable cans that last for ~500 rounds before you pitch it and buy a new one, similar to Europe. Not to mention Maglite/freeze plugs and oil filter adapters.
