  1. I received my new to me S308-1 16" and finally had a chance to take it to the range. I have all the other S series rifles and shotguns but none have as rude a trigger as the 308. This particular rifle had some work done to it, Tapco pistol grip collapsible stock, scope, light, laser and bipod. I did not let the sun set before ordering a new stock set, arsenal stage 2 trigger, compensator and mags. I don't understand how anyone would put up with the trigger that came with this rifle.

    Is this a common experience with these rifles or is this particular one just in dire need of a better trigger?

  2. Mesa for me. I get out to Buckeye fairly regular this time of year, duck season starting soon and all. My s12 is about to get another workout as my S410 and S20 are being set aside now that dove season is over.

  3. The VZ58's are available from several different sources. You can try your luck with a Century build or one of the many parts kit firearms out there. If you want a quality unit stay with one built in the Czech republic and brought into country as a complete rifle. The VZ58 and the AK are totally different rifles. Other than firing the same round and having an appearance similar to each other that is about it.

    The VZ58 is a refined rifle not just a functional weapon like the AK. Both are great pieces and have their place. Get in touch with Dan Brown at Czechpoint for a complete list of details.

  4. I will, however, get into position and wait until I can see the intruder and then, provided that they are not law enforcement or something at the wrong address, give them a one-way express ticket to hell. I might send them two tickets just to get them there faster./quote]

     

    Watch how you phrase that. A BG's attorney would say that you ambushed them or lured them into your trap. Good thing would be it would be their attorney speaking on their families behalf as they would more than likely be planted deep into the ground. Just saying, watch how you phrase things especially on an open forum.

     

    As to the OP's original question: The media would rather report that a 74 year old senator was attacked in his own home then report that another person was saved by the use of firearms.

  5. without a doubt if you are into changing the rifle into something of your own making the 10/22 is the choice. I have seen some excellent work done to the Marlin 60 and the Remington 597. The 597 is cool as it has a larger magazine capacity. The only two 597's that I have had experience with run great and very accurate.

    I am waiting the arrival, hopefully later this week, of my Colt M4 UX2245050_1.jpg I am also wanting to see the sig 522 when it comes out. I have already started working the wife on a purchase of the sig.:)

  6. the 3" mag round in steel is all I use come duck season. I shoot at least 3 to 4 cases a year of the stuff. The rest of the time I will use 2 3/4' just because clays don't require the heavier payload. In that all my buddies hunt waterfowl with me and we use pretty much the same ammo there is no side by side comparison I can give you. It would make sense that the more bang there is that there would be more wear.

  7. Well patience has paid off. Plug arrived and was installed within a few minutes of opening package. Fit like it was a factory (well better than factory) piece. Now I have to go out again and shoot some more, just got back from a weekend of shooting.

  8. In my old house I built a 2' x 4' x 8' room in the attic. I painted the inside flat black then ran an 8" return duct into it and put a return air register for access. This kept the firearms in a controlled environment and provided easy access to them while keeping the appearance looking real. I had to change the filters now and again but it did provide some better cooling for the dining room:) Even my friends who knew there were firearms in the house never could find it.

    Remember an average burglary only last around 10 minutes. I keep all traces of firearms (ammunition, spent cases, targets, manuals...) and cash out of sight so as not to give any reason for a deeper search.

  9. I would have thought by now someone would have posted something about the SKS craze that hit in the 80's. I still laugh every time I see one for sale, as do most who bought them then.

     

    The costliest deal with out a doubt has to have been the Saiga line of shotguns. My 410 was only $150 new but it sure started an expensive line of guns for me with all the mods and accessories for the 12, 20 and 410.

  10. I use the file in my leatherman to reach across the plug and push the pin down so I can turn the plug. When the plug gets to the proper position it very noticeably clicks in and won't move unless the pin is depressed.

  11. hope not order 1545 and no plug but if Mike holds true to form it will show up as a surprise package when I am having a bad day and make things all better. I suspect that as with the original drum orders much patience is needed for him to get things together and shipped.
