  1. If it actually makes it here when they promise it, that will be the most impressive thing of all.
  2. PSLs or FPKs, they sure went fast. Thanks Tritium and Cobra for the heads ups!
  3. I still feel that the problems caused by misuse of editing can be solved in other ways. Without flaming on the subject, I would really like those avenues to be explored, even if it takes some time before it happens. While most forums consider posts the intellectual property of the forum, very few remove the edit feature. I'm all for finding a better way in time.
  4. "I don't have the time, the tools, the money for the tools, the space for the tools, or even the desire to do that kind of alteration. Thanks for playing!" - I was thinking of making a pro-gun/heritage CD someday, and that sounds like a winner. My thoughts are this: Don't want to convert? Make the most of your stock configuration. Use US compliance parts if desired and/or needed for the final config. Do something that has some practical, physical advantage over the conversion, not just reversibility. This is my idea of how to get the advantages of a P-grip in a non-converted Saiga:
  5. I wonder how cost effective it would be for Tapco to make simpler fixed synthetic furniture for AKs. I'm guessing they've looked into it and decided not to, but I agree that making them a one-stop-shop for compliance parts would be great. My X39 conversion has a K-var stock and SAW grip that perfectly match the Russian handguard and polish mag.
  6. That is really amazing. If anyone wants some Saiga factory plastic to experiment on, I have a few buttstocks that have been scavenged of hardware but have lots of surface area left for some paint testing.
  7. I still do furniture for both converted and unconverted Saiga rifles and shotguns. If it's a Saiga and it's in the states, I can outfit it with wood furniture. I have Saigas with both wood and synth furniture. The synth just can't be custom made as easily.
  8. I certainly wasn't looking to offend anyone, as I said my main focus was on the production. I do agree that the casualty #s are a bit nutty, and I don't think an allied communist invasion of America is what the future would look like, at least not from Russia. It would take a heck of a lot to weaken the US for that sort of thing, decades of wearing down in scattered wars.
  9. If anyone's considering an order with me in the immediate future, I will need to have the orders agreed upon by E-mail/PM and payment in the mail by June 30th if you're looking to have your order completed in 2007. The next batch would be done early 2008. Saiga, AKM, Yugo, and Tantal furniture will still be doable in the future, but this is the last call for Romak-III/PSL orders. BattleRifleG3CatalogBETA.pdf
  10. I think it's a bit off in the prediction of a successful all-out invasion of the US homeland, followed by an entirely successful US repulsion of invading forces. Still looking to find the music source.
  11. I have Red Dawn, and I think this clip is closer to Red Dawn than what a WWIII would really be. But it was still well done I think.
  12. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mp7_u7P_L_4 This is a conjecture of what WWIII would look like, put together pretty dang well for a 14yr old. Why post it on the Saiga forum? Well, because I've never met as many Russians on the internet, and there's a choral piece that sounds Russian that I'm trying to trace. Even if no one can trace it, knowing the Russian and possibly translation would help. Might be from a video game, which is another reason to post here - lots of gaming afficionados here. But whatevert the case, I've seen a few such videos and this is by far one of the better
  13. There used to be an option in the contribution feature that let you pay by mail and list your contribution as pending until it came in. Any chance of seeing it again? I liked the fact that it gave you a receipt.
  14. Should have had Tromix install a rail when he had it. If you'll consider wood I might be able to help.
  15. In case you haven't ruled it out yet, I do a Galil style from wood. You can paint them if you like. Might complement your handguard well.
  16. Please note that this deadline is approaching fast. I will accept orders up to June 30th. As long as you and I are on the same page by June 30th and your payment is in the mail by then, everything will come together just in time. If not, it will be too late for my procurement and modelling appointments.
  17. Please note that the cut-off date for the September batch is coming up soon, June 30th. If your order is confirmed by me and your payment is in the mail by then, that's fine and things will come together just in time for procurement and fitting activities in July.
  18. I'm strongly hoping to have about 80% of the sets pictured above out by the end of the month. I do have to apologize to many people for the delays. A very high number of orders came in over a very short time a few months ago. Example - I give five quotes, including ETA. Normally 1/5 or so would buy. In this case it was closer to 4/5. The later summer and early fall is looking to be a little more normal.
  19. Oh dear. That means you have 12 or less. My condolences. Question is which one gets named Judas? (You could cheat by counting subsequent believers as disciples.) Or if you just wanted to get around the Judas part, you could switch it to being the apostles. Then you could cheat by adopting the Roman Catholic view of the apostolic succession, if you aren't RC already. I used to name my guns, got out of practice. But since I don't see guns as subjects of attraction, more like pets or buddies, I actually gave them guy's names that started with the same letter as the gun. There wa
  20. My $0.02: Both styles of stocks have merits for both "sporting" and defensive uses. There was never supposed to be a distinction. A curved grip buttstock is better in war if you need to beat someone with it or plunge a bayonet into them. A separate pistol grip is better for shooting for high accuracy when stationary, and for keeping accuracy during repeated fire. Shooting on a moving target depends entirely on the balance of the gun. The conversion restores the center of gravity closer to the rear, and improves the trigger. The non-conversion moves the center of gravity lower. Wh
  21. As far as rating a transaction goes, I like to be descriptive. A numerical record of good feedback is a good thing though, when forum tools allow it. Lots of people do lots of things right, each in their own way. Even if we don't agree 100% with everything the other person does, if they follow through on their end and are honest and responsible I feel that the feedback should be positive. To me, neutral feedback belongs with people who are negligent of something, or generally mentally absent or inconsiderate but not dishonest. Negative feedback belogs with people who disregard rules, d
  22. I was very pleased to meet DMG for an FTF transaction. He was gracious with travel arrangements and gave an excellent deal. Would gladly deal with him again and recommend him to others.
