  1. I've shot both silver bear and Brown bear with no issues with either. I believe they are from the same manufacturer too.
  2. Actually,all the surefires have 33% glass in their nylon. I still stick by their mags after these few years,and I've tried almost all the mags out just for kicks.
  3. Don't they do this same poll about once a year? At least its still up at 97% even though it should be 100%
  4. Purpleheart is a beautiful wood,one thing to keep in mind though is that it does turn brown over time. Working with it isn't too bad as long as your tools are sharp.Also wear a respirator or at least a good dust mask,it will fuck up your lungs... It can chip a bit easy when turning it,but hand work is good to use on it.
  5. Them '02 explorers had band issues from the start of production until March of 02,then they fixed it and they were decent trannies. They had to put new bushings in for the pin on the intermediate bands. I had one,was the first problem we had with an Explorer,had a 93 before that that we kept instead of trading it in,ran that until 06 without major problems. I still drive my 96 F-250 almost daily,getting into riding season again,but that truck has towed a 27' camper across half the country. I've had vehicles from all the American companies and had the best luck with Fords,so I'll stick with
  6. Sent my letters to my useless senators,always get the same bullshit canned responses from them when I send anything. Theyre both up for election next year,hopefully neither one gets back in for another term.
  7. Winter time,I drive a 96 F-250 Crew cab,460,4WD,4 doors,love that truck,just a bastard to park in lots so I get a lot of walking in when I go to the store. Summer ride is a 99 Harley Low Rider. For fun and car shows I drive a 1930 Model A 4 door blindback.
  8. I' watching the progress here too. I have been saving the silver bears in 410 and 12 gg and have been wondering about a way to reload them as well. What if you were to punch out a piece of plastic to use for the inner wad a bit oversized by a few thousandths,would it be able to get past the little left over crimp or would it just shear in there?
  9. Check your serial number,they're numbered just like the RAA rifles with the first two numbers being the year.
  10. Sounds like it needs a bit more breaking in and is a bit undergassed. Polishing a bit more and gently rounding off the sharp corners that hold up bolt travel will help too. Your mag shouldnt have anything to do with it at that point as its empty,unless the follower stays well down below the top. You can check if the ports are open with a dental pick,I like to keep them clean and have a pick in my shooting box. Just shoot it some more and let it break in better,it'll be fine.
  11. I've got a few different brands of mags,I've had good luck with both of these except for the screws coming loose in my AGP. I havent had any trouble with the plastic feed lips either,so I like the surefires better.
  12. Well,you're right,it was made this year.The 10 at the start of the SN is the year. That is one sweet rifle,we have to build ours back to looking like that here. Congrats on the new friend.
  13. I've got AGP and Surefires and of the two I've had better luck with the Surefires.Theyre a bit more but mine have been 100% reliable so far. My AGPs didnt fit too well and would hang up from time to time.
  14. I would contact them,they've got real good customer service and should make it right for you.
  15. I've got a few of the tri rails on some of my Saigas.I did drill and tap into one of them to mount the original sling mount off of the factory handguard and it worked fine. Was able to torque down the screw good and tight and it held. Whatever that plastic is its some strong stuff.It may have been one of my rifles and tapped through the steel insert inside.
