    I can always count on California's idiot legislators for a good laugh. I like the quote from state senator Cedillo, where he says this bill just makes the ammo sales law like the sales laws for completely unrelated commodities (paint and ephedrine, give me a break, what in the hell do they have to do with ammo?). The part of the law that requires ammo to be behind the counter, rather than having the ammo on the shelves where the customer can pick it up and bring it to the sales counter themselves, is the funniest because it's so utterly pointless. Its too bad the citizens of California have to

    Trying to make a clone would definitely be a challenge. In the U.S. the closest I have seen someone get to a Saiga-12S EXP-01-030 (which Izhmash now calls the KS-K) is forum member TX-Zen's Saiga 12 (can be seen starting in the 3rd pic of this thread). I don't know of anyone who has fabricated that hinged dust cover from scratch before. I believe the rear sight is just a standard AK rifle sight, and Dinzag makes press on rear sight blocks for the Saiga 12 that use standard AK rifle rear sights. The combined front-sight/gas block and folding buttstock with the built-in recoil pad though, ar

    Well there was also China, and technically even Russia qualifies since a big chunk of Russia is on the Asian continent (though Russia did not declare war on Japan until the last few months of the war).

    Always glad to hear when more Islamo-fascist-terrorist scumbags get permanently removed from circulation. Congratulations to the Phillippine Army, and here's to them keeping up the good work .

    I have never had any trouble changing the gas plug setting out on the range after firing a few shots (or even a lot of shots). Are you sure you had the gas plug plunger pressed in all the way before trying to rotate the gas plug?

    I don't think we are actually that far apart on this matter. I probably should have said earlier what size of buckshot I prefer. It seems these days when people hear buckshot they automatically think 00 or even 000 buck. I am of the 'more pellets not bigger pellets' school of thought though, and I prefer smaller buckshot, specifically #4 buck, which is .24 caliber and so not that far from Black Cloud (.19 caliber BBB) or the Hevi-Shot (T size .20 caliber pellet) Havok mentioned.

    Nice pictures, where did you take them at? I noticed the second MiG is actually a MiG-29, which is one of my favorite warplanes of all time.

    Don't get me wrong, I think 8 or 9 inches of penetration depth is still pretty good, and I certainly wouldn't disregard a round with that penetration depth, but (and this is just my personal choice) I prefer loads which are closer to the FBI ballistic test protocol requirement of a minimum penetration depth of 12 inches. Again I certainly wouldn't discount a round that has a bit less penetration, but if given a choice a round with a penetration depth of around 12 inches is what I would prefer.

    Yeah I was guessing that the 300 grain TMJ were mainly for practice and range plinking, though with the level of penetration they have they might make a decent 'critter-defense' round for those who hike and camp in areas where mountain lions or black bears roam (though of course personally my preferred defense against such critters when I am out camping is to avoid them ). That 185 grain all copper bullet does have terrific expansion, though it does seem a little short in penetration. It will be interesting to see how the other hollow points perform.

    Best wishes to you for Monday. You won't know anything for sure until the tests are done, so this weekend try to take it easy and not let it get you down.

    "...100 octane or above...", LOL, when was the last time gas stations even carried 100 octane or higher gasoline? Around here the only place I know of where you can get it is from the aviation gas pumps at the airport.

    No one is saying birdshot isn't capable of stopping an attacker, its a question of consistency in stopping an attacker. Stopping an attacker quickly and reliably requires more than just a wide wound, it also requires a fairly deep wound, and birdshot just doesn't have the penetration to make it as reliable a manstopper as buckshot. Now as far as I'm concerned every man is free to choose whatever firearm/ammo combination he wants to defend his home with, but for me at least if I am using a shotgun for home defense I will be using buckshot, not birdshot. If I ever move to a different place where
  13. sudaevpps43
    Ah, ask and ye shall receive. That 185 grainer sure makes a heck of a wound cavity, though I think its safe to say that 300 grain TMJ round would not be the ideal self defense round, as it doesn't have any expansion, and it seems to have just a bit more penetration than is really needed. Unless of course there are bad guys out there big enough to require a bullet which when fired from a handgun has double the penetration of a soft-point 7.62x39mm round fired from a rifle.

    Damn, that Bel Air looked to be in mint condition. Couldn't they have found a less cherry Bel Air to sacrafice for that crash test?

    Good grief that is a wide hollow point. That first picture looks as much like a shot glass as a handgun cartridge. I thought because of its caliber the best bullets to use in the .50 GI would be the heavier 275 and 300 grainers, but the expansion of that 185 grain round is pretty impressive. I admit when I first heard about the .50GI it didn't sound like it could be much of an improvement over existing cartridges, just a slightly bigger .45 ACP I thought, and it seemed as much a novelty as anything else. Now I see that it definitely has some potential though. It will be interesting to see the

    Are nuke plant security guards legally considered to be law enforcement or military? If not then it seems to me they would be in the same boat as us civilians, and so would be unable to legally acquire post-86 manufactured machineguns, since the last time I checked only congress, not Federal regulators, can change the law.
  17. sudaevpps43
    I'll pass. Remington can call it "Ultimate Home Defense" or whatever the hell else they want but its still birdshot, and if birdshot was a reliably effective self-defense loading for a shotgun then buckshot would never have been invented. Though I admit I was always curious as to how a hollow point thin walled hollow brass slug filled with birdshot (like a giant version of a glaser safety slug handgun bullet) would perform as a 'won't go through the wall if you miss but still put the bad guy down if you hit'-type self-defense round.

    If he is buying Saiga 12s for the purpose of both converting and reselling them, then yes believe it or not that does fall under what the ATF would consider manufacturing. The rumour is that the ATF deliberately takes a very broad definition of what is manufacturing, in order to increase the revenue the ATF collects from dealers and gunsmiths who then also have to get a manufacturing license. Anyway here it is straight from the FAQ ( http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/faq2.htm#h6 ) on the ATF website: (H6)May a person engage in gunsmithing under a dealer’s license (type 01), or do gunsmiths n

    It was probably one of the Red Jacket videos that you saw. Those videos were of an integrally suppressed Saiga 12, but Red Jacket can make it as a screw on suppressor as well, but I think they only make the screw on suppressor for the 8 inch barreled Saiga 12s made by them or Tromix. Red Jacket is a business member here, so if you want more details you could send them a PM, or of course just go through the contact page on their website.

    Yes, I remember that movie well. Liam Neeson also starred in it (as Swayze's older brother). There is also a much more forgettable movie that Swayze starred in.... that was SCI-FI no less. Can't remember the title of the movie, but he starred as some sort of lone, sword wielding former law man. It was really kinda "out there" and not written all that well. Yeah I remember that movie too, it was called Steel Dawn. Basically it was a low rent Beyond Thunderdome. I'll always appreciate his contribution to Uncommon Valor, Red Dawn, and Road House though. Point Break wasn't too bad eithe

    Come on newbie, give us a little credit. This is the Saiga 12 forum after all. We knew about that Nat Geo issue as soon as it came out back in July. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=42911 Like hearing about it again though. If someone would scan the images from the article, they would make a nice addition to the gallery section here.

    Have you asked forum member DrBormental about this yet? He lives in Russia.

    Those goddamn car companies!!! First they covered up the existence of the 100 mpg carburetor, then they prevented the 200 mpg carburetor from coming to market, and now I find out they did the same thing to the 250 mpg carburetor! Will it never end??!!!!

    I haven't come across anything like this in any reading I've been doing recently. Assuming you're a regular Schmoe (meaning, not a <whatever it's called that is allowed "dealer sample" MG's>), I still think you're only allowed pre-86 transferable MG's. Correct, irregardless of how you file the NFA paperwork (whether in the name of an individual, a trust, an LLC, or a corporation) you could still legally only own pre-86 machine guns. Doing NFA paperwork under a trust, LLC, or corporation grants no special legal privilege to get any NFA items you couldn't also legally get filing as

    Great pic sd0324. What kind of ammo were you using?
