  1. From Russia with love, Obama's birthday wish

    in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!

    Posted

    On a simpler level, the left is culturally "feminine" in nature and short-sighted accordingly. Our withdrawal from Iraq was an emotional decision - not a rational one. I submit Obama is ... psychologically at least ... our first female president. We need a "masculine" leader like Reagan or Thatcher again. People capable of calling a spade a spade.

    Which president was THATCHER???

     

    And umm... wasnt thatcher a WOMAN? :unsure:

     

    Do you live in a world where the USA had a president Thatcher???

  15. Classic Monte Carlo hunting stock on a converted Saiga 308

    in Saiga Rifle Conversions

    Posted

    correct. The trigger group is even with the rear of the dust cover, like a factory saiga.

     

    Still... you asked for monte carlo stock...  you got one. LOL 032.gif ( yeah, yeah, I know it isnt with the trigger group moved forward!)

     

    As far as doing it with a CONVERTED saiga... or an AK... yeah... it would be a stretch for your finger. But yes, you COULD do it...  Just wouldnt be really all that comfortable to shoot

  17. AK Side Rail Issues...Need advice

    in General Discussion - Any topic is welcome here!!!

    Posted

    I have a PSL with a sight rail so far out, it is impossible to mount a PSOP optic on the rifle...  We are talking  FEET at 100 yards...  not a matter of inches!!!!

     

    Unless that side rail is removed, and reattached straight, its junk with a POSP, so its not unlikely you willhave impact issues with yours as well.

     

    If I BOTHERED to get an adjustable side rail MOUNT, I could mount a traditional optic, and adjust. Just never felt like it... 

     

     

    Good luck!

  19. .308 match reloading recipe?

    in Reloading and Ammunition

    Posted

    I am thinking that unless you are shooting a multi-thousand dollar bolt gun, designed for extremely long range precision target shooting, messing with the primer holes is just an added extra step that will yield negligible results in the typical shooter platform.  Have I done it? YES! Have I noticed any difference ?? NOPE.

    I dont even ream the primer pockets anymore. ( unless they are stupid dirty, or somehow buggered up...)

    Everything I have read on the subject tells me that for MY particular rifles... its just NOT going to be worth the time or effort put into it, for the miniscule amount you will gain.

    My brass is tumbled, sorted by head stamp ( yes, EVERY ROUND is sorted!!! grouping by headstamp will allow you to have more consistent internal case capacity/dimension, which WILL give noticeable differences!) Checked for proper trim-to length, trimmed if needed, inner and outer case mouth chamfered, and then loaded to whatever flavor of the week I feel froggy with. 032.gif

     

    Using more consistent primers has given me better groups than messing with the primer pockets/flash holes.  CCI benchrest, is my typical go-to primer for almost ALL of my centerfire loading, if I want it to mean something. If I just want " plinking ammo" THEN I will use a standard large or small rifle primer. mind you... the benefits are not huge... but I HAVE been able to notice more consistent group sizes with the SAME loads, with the different primers... maybe a half inch to a quarter inch difference at 100... but enough that you can say " yeah, the benchrest was the 'better' primer for this load."

  21. Finally got some accuracy numbers at 100 yards

    in Saiga .308

    Posted

    WB Tokageko!!! Havent seen you round here in ages!!!

     

    My personal favorites were 125 grainers. Was able to keep group size about an inch, give or take. Some were a little smaller, some were a little bigger...  110's and 150's shot about the same, and it only got worse as bullet weights got heavier.

     

    Dont have any specific load data to share, as I have no clue...  Even with the log book, I dont always write down which loads went through which rifle... If I had one that was truly noteworthy, it MIGHT have gotten written down! LOL  ( yeah, yeah... whats the point of a log book, if you arent keeping a log?!?!?!? )

  22. Shedding weight off of the 308

    in Saiga .308

    Posted

    Mine looked almost exactly like Jim Digriz' rifle, full set of real Russian plum, except that I added a full length optic (6-24X50) on a full sized side rail scope mount, as well as an STG-58 brake on the 22" barrel. The only weight reduction was the removal of the FSB. The brake was machined, and tapped and threaded for 4 set screws to retain it on the thinner section of barrel under the FSB.  Worked perfect, and personally I loved the look...  How was it for weight, though?? Damn fuckin heavy! laugh.png

    Would it have been unthinkable to buy a standard front bead for some other shotgun of some American or standard make, get the thread/pitch for that and spend a few bucks buy the correct tap, and re-thread the hold for THAT bead?  just a thought...  maybe by the time you got finished, while it would have worked, you were just better off spending the 45 bucks... I just know I would have tried something else... even if it meant buying the correct tap for the EXISTING thread/pitch, cutting it off SHORT and making my OWN " bead" from that...  but then... my dremel-fu is strong!!! ROFL!!!

     

    Glad ya got it worked out, regardless... :up:

  24. Field Test on my Saiga 20 ga.

    in Saiga-20

    Posted

    How many rounds ya got through it? I had to run HUNDREDS of rounds through mine before it " broke in" and would eject federal low base trap rounds. Joining a trap league and shooting a hundred rounds or so every week for several months certainly helped... :up:

     

    Dont give up... just keep shooting the heck out of it... it should come around...
