Lots of good stuff there. Thanks for the tip!

As was pointed out earlier in the thread, Tapco gives good value for the money. This means you get what you pay for. Wouldn't this mean you get more than what you pay for if it's good value for the money?

I like mine. . . Not exactly a glowing recommendation, but if you say it's good, I'm in! Thanks very much for your input. Looking to start the conversion soon and I've just about settled on the TAPCO. $44.99 at Midway. All of the Tapco parts are cheaper (a lot cheaper) at On Point Firearms http://www.onpointsupply.com. Use their search feature in the Grips-Pads-Stocks section. For example their price for the T6 is $36.00. Their shipping is usually cheaper too. Ok, now I owe you a beer

I sent him a PM

Anybody have any opinions on the TAPCO M-4 style telescoping stock?

I've been so guitly of this...more times than I would like to admit. But Hell, it'll never happen to me, right? Don't be so sure.

1) yep, but we're all one step away from being in your shoes. NRA my friends, NRA. 2) a knife is definitely better than nothing. Have you gotten/thought about getting training with it? 3) using what you have available...very cool 4) awareness is everything...this dude was definitely out to lunch

OH Shit! That can't be good.

I bought my Saiga last summer and before that I hadn't owned anything more complicated than a Marlin .22, so put me in the "ignorant of 922r" category. Never heard of it before I came on here. Maybe we should suggest that anyone else who posts such a video with a possibly non-compliant weapon wear the "Mall Ninja" balaclava from one of the other threads. It could say "SWAT" if he or she wanted it to.

I carry a HK USP .40 compact most of the time, sometimes a .38 S&W. I highly recommend the HK because it's 12+1 in a relatively concealable package. Also, I've put just over 6300 rounds through it without a single stoppage. If you like 1911's Kimber is a great gun at a reasonable price, for what you get. It'll likely set you back north of a grand, though. And if you like the CZ, a Browning High Power is a possible option as well.

Train like you fight--mix it up some--from different positions. I couldn't agree more. Even though it has some inherent faults, I think that's why IDPA is a good training tool. I've heard there is film out there (haven't seen it myself) of a State Trooper drawing his weapon and firing on a suspect. He fires two rounds, scoring hits, and promptly holsters his weapon--just like his training from the range--and is then gunned down by the suspect who still has some fight in him. It's entirely possible this is urban legend, but law enforcement types have told me it's true. I can certai

It's worth whatever IO paid Kokalis/Fortier to say about them. No kidding

I work in Milwaukee, live in the burbs. I agree i would love to have CCW in WI, but it keeps failing with our lib dem governor.....dang it! regardless i would not be able to carry at work....company policy forbids weapons on grounds.....CRKT folder is as far as i wish to test that policy...i like my job! whups, must have been typing at the same time...

Even in a CCW state, you're sometimes curtailed on when and how you can carry. Do you think yoru employer would allow it? Some don't. I know a little about using a knife, but would in NO way be considered a knife fighter. An acquaintance of mine who is once told me that one of the basic tenets he was taught is if you get into a knife fight, no matter how good you are, you WILL get cut. The key is to menally accept this and train to not get cut in a vital area, accepting "minor" cuts. You have to do whatever it takes to defend yourself, but man it would be a whole lot better to be w

I seem to remember Shotgun News had a review of the STG 2000 not too long ago that was mostly positive, for whatever that's worth.

The guy was a petty drug dealer at best...Limas a major hotspot along I-75 because Detroits only 2 hrs down the road.The major drug dealers are gang members sent down to set up shop +1 on the Detroit thing. I grew up about 20 miles NW of Lima, and it's been going steadily down hill for some time. I-75 is a major drug pipeline from Miami to Canada, passing through a good number of major cities along the way.

I guess that all depends on what city...and what section

I miss living in the country. Being trapped in suburbia has its advantages for work, but I can't seem to get used to it.

The best to all of us in the New Year. Stand. Together.

+1, you'd think other people would have made conversion tutorials by now. When I do mine, I'll document it. It will be the ultimate, honest, newbie, non-machinist "what's a tap?" guide on how to ( and how not to) do a conversion. I think video would be best, that way I won't have to take three hundred and fifty-two still photos of me fucking things up. The sound would be edited to delete the expletives. And any explosions that might occur. And since my wife would have to man the camera, I'd edit out her laughter, too. But I might get her to shoot it topless..

Thanks! Took me a little while to come up with one, but I've always loved "Aces High"!

I certainly get that--I think a light is an excellent choice, especially in your situation. I have little ones (6yrs, 4yrs, and 11 months), so the sneaking in days are a little (but not far enough) ahead of me. That being said, I like having a light. My primary weapon in such a case would be a pistol, since it's more precise than a shotgun. It does have a light on it, because the little critters always seem to be thirsty or hungry, and you never know when they're creeping around. The little ones sleep near me and my wife on the upper floor, so my plan (you have to at least start

Dinzag is most definitely the man

Hey, at least from where I stand, you did OK. I especially wouldn't sell the Mossberg short. The 500 was one of the first guns I bought, about 20 years ago, and I still have it. While it's not a Saiga 12, and definitely not a Tromix 12, it's still a pretty effective weapon. The sound of a slide being racked is still a wonderful thing.
