  1. CPF, If you do nothing but concentrate on maintaining your sight picture while slowly squeezing the trigger your brain shouldn't have a chance to anticipate recoil. The theory is that if you focus entirely on these two tasks the shot will come off as a surprise. My personal experience is that it is a sound theory. Hope that helps.
  2. And I just want to be clear I wasn't denigrating your products. From what I've seen you have good stuff and do good work.
  3. Sorry Mike, I'm going to have to respectfully disagree on this point. The ability to "short stock" a long gun in close quarters is very much a real world performance issue. Lunker, I live in NJ and I leave my S-12 stock. I'm going to add a gas plug that doesn't require tools to switch settings though.
  4. Will runs a business, actually produces goods that people are willing to pay for, manages to land a show, and that's not good enough to be worthy of some respect? If that's the case I'd be more than happy to hear about your specific successes in life that surpass that.
  5. Yes. It works the same way on an M203. The master key was a neat looking project and I'm glad it was profitable for Will. But the answer for the original problem was a training one...make the breacher the last man in the stack to go in. The guy who has to worry about two different triggers, two different safeties, two different barrels, should not be the lead man in. Just my two cents though.
  6. I bought the Arcus 98 DA (full size) some time back. I also have been able to mod a Beretta 92 mag to fit and function in it although the slide doesn't lock to the rear when empty. Initially, I thought I would be able to use the standard HiPower 15 round mags for it. They don't work because they are too short. The mag length is the 17 round length but the follower it uses limits the capacity to 15 (this is how Arcus manufactures them). This wouldn't be an issue for anyone that doesn't live in a mag limit state because they can just use the HiPower 17 round mags for it. The finish leave
  7. Which may explain why you don't get good groups with irons. You don't need to "see" your target, you only need to see your front sight post. Specifically, I focus on the middle of the front sight post, as if there was a hairline right smack dead center of it. I concentrate on this and more or less get it centered on a blurry background that is my target. Shooters that have had problems getting good groups with irons usually take their concentration away from the front sight post and look downrange at the target at some point before the shot releases. A lot were doing it without even knowin
  8. Not to mention their galleys are awesome! After living off winter rats for a few weeks in Norway eating in an LST galley was like heaven...until we hit open water. The chow wasn't as good the second time around.
  9. Thanks for posting this. I didn't even know this product was coming out.
  10. If you're only going to have one weapon I'm going to throw in another vote for getting a handgun. A revolver is the simplest one to operate in the event that your wife has to use it. If you have kids, you're going to need to take extra precautions as far as storage is concerned. No one weapon is going to be ideal for all situations. You need to be proficient enough to make do with what you've got. Best of luck to you.
  11. Because when I'm feeling stabby I don't reach for a gun... But seriously once you've held a well made hand forged knife (the practical ones at least) it's hard to go back to your factory made Kabar or Kershaw folder. The fantasy blades are ridiculous I agree but to each his own.
  12. That's some really good looking furniture. What method did you use to apply the stuff?
  13. My .308 has a monopod built in. It's called the magazine.
  14. I was wondering what happened to you. You ever get around to testing those vortex scopes? Welcome back to the both of you.
  15. My vote is for the .308. Brown Bear right now is going for under 7 bucks for 20 rounds.
  16. I have an Arcus 98DA. HiPower derived clone. Drop free mags, accurate as hell, and built like a tank (all steel). I got it for around $300 on GB over a year ago. I also have the Kel-tec P3AT. I usually carry it around the house and it is very concealable but has a very pronounced muzzle flip.
  17. I'll happily admit that I know very little about Saigas and have never owned one, but I do know a bit about .308's and accuracy, and the above is not true. The vast majority of .308 bolt guns are 1/12, including my Remington PSS. The barrel on mine is cut to 20", and it's run thousands of 175's and some up to 190 without a hint of destabalization and an average accuracy of .6 MOA. I know guys with 16.5" 1/12's who have done the same with no problem. I won't argue that a Saiga might do better with lighter bullets, but it's not because the rate of twist can't handle it. Damn, I just s
  18. If you are going to leave it stock, try and get the skeleton stock for it. The standard rifle buttstock really limits some of the things you can do with the weapon. I would even go so far as to suggest the bolt on grip and stock combos that don't require moving the trigger assembly forward. A brand spanking new S-12 needs to be worked out of the box. You're going to need to invest time and ammo to break it in, and then to see what type of rounds it prefers. An S-12 is also not like the AK rifles in that there is a gas regulator with two settings for the shotgun. Setting 1 for high power st
