Good grief.........I haven't visited here for months. Then when I do I get hooked into this abyss. At the end of it I know three things: 1) I'll never get this time back; 2) I think I want the B.A.S.T.A.R.D. and will sell my hoard of Norinco 223 AK and Gallil Orlite magazines; 3) I will never look at a logo/photo of a Spartan helm in quite the same light again....

Camp carbine is iffy quality. Ruger is good but heavy and uses Ruger mags only. Kind of hard to find, but I wonder why. If you can find one, and have a beretta or glock, try a KelTec SUB2000 in 9mm. Ugly, but it gorws on ya. Also works very well in my experience. I turned my nose up at these for years until recently and after trying one I am looking for another. As I have a truck load of Glock mags, this was a no-brainer for me.

Just food for thought: Keep in mind with the stripped receivers that in the last ban, and the future proposed ban, only receivers made into "AW" configuration prior to the ban, ie , a total weapon, were grandfathered. Any "spare parts" receiver made into a rifle after the date of inception was not legal if it was made into an AW configured rifle. To be totally "legal" (at least under the last set of protocals) you want receivers that came off of documented complete rifles. Additionally, we don't really know what kind of semi-auto rifle will be left on the table as "legal" after any future ver

I'd have known before I retired, but I was a gun guy. Most won't. That is why they ask you. 922r is a nonsequator when it comes to enforcement. Unless you light up some agency radar you re not likely to ever be asked. Not something that most of us will ever experience. A very tough task it is to enforce some of these far-reaching regs. I've actually had a young, new, state cop ask me, "Wow! How do you know all this stuff?" when it comes to compliance. It's not on their plate at the academy...........and for the most part they couldn't care less. It's all "feel good" legislation for the benefi

Mmmmmmmm, good old 870. Mag is always right where you need it.

Greed is the #1 reason for this happening. People believe in the "nothing for something" fairy tail because they are "special" and "deserving". That is why it works so well. #2 reason is polite upbringing. Many people, especialy the elderly, are too polite to tell these dirt balls to FXXX-Off. They let them talk and eventually get hooked on the line. Once there is money paid the tendecy is to follow bad money with good as nobody wants to admit to being the patsy and admit they threw good money away. There is a science behind this............sociology and human behavior. It is strictly a formul

Yeah, I hear ya. I just submited a blood sample for DNA testing to document American Indian blood lines for future expected programs........never was an issue until now. NOW being white may be a liability...............Ha! Don't laugh you white hinky, er, honky white man...............hey, I'm new at this. Did I mention I was American Indian?

Well, I've lived in Alaska since 1977, and if that is you in your avatar photo I have a place for you to bunk......................Oh, LORD!

I've bought from him twice with no problems, but from the sounds of it I am lucky to have gotten what I ordered. Too many people to do business with to suffer rudeness............When it comes to a rude person, Once is a bad day. Twice is a bad attitude. Thank you for the heads up.

I doubt you will find much of anything on Snopes. The site is owned/run by a left wing Lib who tends to downplay anything of a negative nature concerning dems.

........crap.............

I edited my post after finding many, many pages of "pending" legislation. The link I posted in its place has been the best for "current" info on the subject. I don't think the Ban Bills that have actual lists of guns or "evil features" is nearly as concerning as the language I've seen that puts the interprtation of "sporting", "appropriate", etc.........in the hands of any one person. Such open-ended language is potentially a lit fuse.

What I have found, H.R.6257 Assault Weapons Ban Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Introduced in House), lists the Ruger 10-22 as exempted from this ban UNLESS it has a folding stock. I think what has happened is people have seen bills, this one included, that contain a category for, "semi-auto rifle with detachable magazine", and jumped to conclusions. The longer lists of guns in past bills has been the exempted list, from what I can tell. The below link will take you to a search engine for the Library of Congress. You can find just about any combination of bills you want with a simple search.

Dems lose ANYthing=riots in the streets. Republicans lose? Civil rest (as opposed to civil UNrest) The rabble rumbles in the street while reason resides with a fne Scotch. Bottom line? FuXK Em!

Have mini gun will travel.........................provide own ammo.

I got my 2 today and immediately ordered 2 more. Anti up boys, these are $800 drums after 'bama' takes office. Seriously, they are quite good quality. I fired a full drum through my saiga 7.62 rifle with zero problems. I didn't even clean the oil off of it. Every bit as good qualtity as my 100 rd Norinco drum, possibly better. I am keeping 3 sealed in plastic for future sale as I lived through the last ban and know what is coming, regardless of whether or not it's 'Bama or 'Cain. A word to the wise? If you aren't buying something because it is "cheap" right now? That happened last time too. I

This is in reference to dealing with the Rooshuns. Good to hear people are getting wise..........I'm glad people are finally getting the "flick" on dealing with the Russians. Up here in Alaska we've been dealing with them since around '92. Theiving bastards..........period. You want to call me on it? I can back the statement up with police reports. They have been "visiting" Alaska for years, way before "Glasnost". You younger folks won't know that term. I have friends in Yakutsk, a reluctant member of the former USSR. They would as soon piss on a Russian as spit. I learned to respect their op

Also been waiting about 10 months I waited for 7 months. But it was worth it. Here are some home made shots of mine... although they don't come close to the bad ass photo in my signature. Very Nice! Thank you for sharing. I expect that once mine gets here the wait will seem short.............kind of. I've been waiting since Feb 24, '08. Not quite 10 months but long enough that I can sympathize with others who have waited that long. As the saying goes, after this long, "in for a penny in for a pound".

Ok, there are many of us playing the waiting game right now. How about some input and sharing from those who have recently recieved their pieces from Esteban. I know that I for one would love to see some of the recent work coming out of his shop to tide me over until I have my own to play with...........anyone?

12 and I'm 55, but I had to stand clean across the room to do the test.........back up-walk & drag....back up-walk & drag......whew! I'm winded!

I put an order in for my first S-12 on Feb 27 based on Esteban's reputation and the fact that I wanted the ceramic coat finish he offers. The delivery estimate was 6-8 weeks, and it is just now getting around to delivery time. Am I thrilled about the delay? Not really, but I don't believe I've been lied to. I believe he acted in good faith, but just got in over his head and fell behind. I also believe he has lost lots of production time in trying to keep people happy with changes and "shoe horning" people's orders in. The solution for those who are truly unhappy with production and delivery ti

Oh for crying out loud! I've been lurking here for months learning about Saigas, which are quite new to me, and thought the list format was the way it was SUPPOSED to be! I just accepted it as normal and managed as well as possible. Very awkward.............thank you. Back to "silent running".
