  1. As I understand it, putting a 10 round magazine (or a pistol grip, or a folding stock) on your gun relinquishes it of it's sporting status.

     

    I don't really understand your question, but I think I see what you're getting at, and I would address it this way: With the FCG and the AGP magazine you will be in compliance, but since the magazine is not a permanent accessory when you remove it and use your factor 5 round magazine the gun would still be considered a sporting rifle.

  2. I just yesterday received 2k rds of Golden Tiger 7.62x39 for $380 shipped to my door...

     

    That's a pretty decent deal. Where did you order that from, if you don't mind me asking? I'd like to pool some cash with some of my buddies and get in on that.

     

    ammoman.com - no tax and no shipping charges, the price they list is what you pay to your door... I've seen ammo cheaper initially on a bunch of other sites, but soon as they tack on tax and/or shipping it's way more...

     

    Cool, good lookin out.

  3. Buy in bulk and save yourself some money in the long run, I just yesterday received 2k rds of Golden Tiger 7.62x39 for $380 shipped to my door...

     

    1,400 rds of that is going in my "rainy day" supply along with 4k rds of 22lr, 3k rds of 9mm, 700 rds of 30-06, 500 rds of .357 mag, and 300rds of 12-gauge... Soon as I have a bigger or additional safe I'll be looking to double those figures....

  4. I'm pretty sure it's just the gun getting broken in, and the mags don't have anything to do with it. It was jamming with the 5 round factory mag for about 50 rounds, then it started being able to cycle a whole 5 rounds without issue. Now it's (occasionally) getting hung up after 7 or 8 rounds. Probably nothing to worry about.

  5. I gather that it's to reduce the amount of force on the spring when shooting higher-power rounds, but what should it be set at when I'm shooting say, 2 3/4 bird shot? Right now the 2 is at about 7 o'clock (right side up) and the 1 is at 3 o'clock when I'm staring down the barrel.

     

    My main concern is that occasionally it jams up, because it's getting caught on the safety bar, and I was wondering if adjusting the gas piston would correct this, or if it just needs to be broken in more. It's gotten a lot better, it used to jam about every other round, now I can run 10 through it at a once most of the time, and it will only act up 1 out of 20 rounds or so. It's still an annoyance.

     

    Thanks in advance.

  6. This is one from GilbertsGuns. They sold this for $742 and then listed another starting at $499.

    If you go to thier website it states they are out of stock. I guess that is for the web page sales, not the Gunbroker sales.

    I wonder if we will see any go for $1000. Supply is down and Demand is going way up.

     

    At least they are starting the bid at a reasonable price. That's how demand and worth should be gaged. If someone is willing to pay $750 for the fucking thing, then by god, it's worth it.

  7. EC,

     

    They go out all at once when I get the stuff in one package. If someone hasn't paid by the time the stocks come in, they'll be dropped and I'll go to the next person on the waiting list. I don't think it's fair to keep others waiting if someone hasn't paid.

    Cool man. I'm in no rush. (Well, I am, but it's nothing urgent, just excited.) I can wait, it doesn't matter because I'm saving some cash, so it's all good.

  8. That's disappointing, but not a serious issue. I had a question about the payments also. Do you ship all the parts out yourself, or are these coming from the suppliers, ie, will I get one box of stuff, or multiple boxes, and similarly, when the things do get ready to ship, will they ship based on who has paid, or will there be a wait until everyone has paid, and then they all go out?

     

    Not trying to be pushy, just curious. :smoke:

  9. I went out today and tried to shoot the .308 left handed, not happening. It felt so weird that I didn't even waste ammo shooting that way. On a side note, I was hitting right at 2" group at what I perceived to be 100 yards, maybe a little bit more, but nonetheless I'm happy. I can't wait to get a scope for that thing.

  10. I am RH / right eye dominant, but when I shoot left handed, I use the left eye. Mainly because if I'm peeking around a corner (to the left) using my left hand and RIGHT eye, my forehead is sticking out from cover more than any other body part.

     

    Plus, I like to practice both, as it makes me more "well rounded".

     

    On my PSL, I shoot right handed - left eyed, for cheek weld (wierd). But it works.

     

    edit: careful when you're switching to left handed on an AK. If you use the mag as a grip, you have to make a concious effort to not stick your thumb behind the charging handle (ouch).

     

    You use the mag as a grip dude? That's effin weird. I use the front grip, though, so no worries here.
