TR Young 175 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 I am not happy with the lighting, so I am not putting these in the 'picture' thread, but I wanted to show Ivan and his new home off a little bit. He's all converted now, only missing a couple of the things that I want to add such as a tac light and possibly a laser for long range slugging, but other than that, he's ready to report for duty. Cobra's heat guard looks great on the tri-rail fore end! Sitting next to his new MOLLE case Snugged in tight for safe keeping FOUR (12) round mags fit great in the smaller compartment, nestled in 2 separate pouches And everything zippered and velcroed up nice and compact and ready to head to the range. The 3 outside MOLLE pouches are great for extra ammo, tool kits, etc... And here are two-thirds of the home protection plan.... (Jimmy ran off just as I was taking the picture! ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great guy to deal with, and great decals. Also, I think that bag is this one: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/MOLLE201-7.html . It's available in different colors too. I'm no longer a fan of CheaperThanDirt, but that's the best price I've seen on that case. Edited January 28, 2009 by 22_Shooter Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I really like it; it holds everything I would need to take to the range and then some. CTD has some ok deals on some of their stuff, but I have to say that these bags are a fantastic buy. $49.95 for these at CTD, and nearly $100 other places for the same, exact bag. It's a no-brainer if you ask me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's a no-brainer if you ask me. No, I agree, that's a great price, and the best I've seen anywhere on that bag. CTD left a bad taste in my mouth right after the election though. They jacked up the price of PMags (not that I can have them in NY anyway ) to about $50+. Which would be fine. Ya know free country, capitalism and all that. But they put a note on the page, saying that Magpul had increased the price, which is why they had to. Magpul came right out and squashed that bullshit. They didn't mark up their prices at all to their distributors, and were still offering them at $14+ on their website. So CTD outright lied, to make more money. That's shitty business in my book, and my personal opinion. Anyway, not to steer the track off topic................. About that bag....have you tried fitting 2 carbine length setups in there? I've always wondered if you could lay 2 rifles opposite ways, and have them fit (with something between them to stop from scraping). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only evil black gun in my possession is my '109. I do believe, though, that 2 carbines could fit in there quite comfortably; it is a VERY roomy bag. I have a friend who has enough firepower to arm a small, third-world country, so I'll take it to his house and see what all will fit and I will give you a heads-up.

Yeah, I only had a lowly, un-evil .22 when I joined here. Since then, I've been gathering a nice little stash. So yeah, I'd be really interested to hear the results if you bring that bag by your buddy's place. Fitting 2 rifles in there was the whole reason I was interested in that case awhile back. But I ended up getting a cheap soft case for $15 at Midway. I can fit a carbine length AR and AK in there at the same time, but it's kinda cramped, and the carrying straps feel pretty stressed with the weight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, armed with the knowledge of how to convert a Saiga platform, I can save a ton by purchasing all Saigas and converting them instead of throwing my money away on AR platforms.

Krom 36 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Nice Job!! I'm about to convert my saiga12 in a few weeks as I'm in the process of a move to cleveland, seeing your's all finished makes me jellious. Your rot and saiga12 has got all your bases covered as far as home defense is concerned. What type of optic are you using? I'm looking for something similar, I've never shot skeet with a optic and was wondering if you have any experience using your optic to engage skeet, ducks or similar airborne targets. I think that with a polychoke and reflex optic it would make a really good hunting gun as well as defense arm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think that with a polychoke and reflex optic it would make a really good hunting gun as well as defense arm. If you're moving to Cleveland, Ohio, we'll have to get together and shoot sometime! I live about an hour and a half South of Cleveland. The optic that I have is a Barska illuminated red dot. It has a choice of 4 different reticles; a 3 MOA dot, a 5 MOA dot, a cross, and a circle with a dot in the middle. Unfortunately, I have not yet taken Ivan out for any sort of clay shooting. Just picked him up right before Christmas and haven't had the time or the weather to do so. I am wanting to get out and do some clay busting when the weather breaks, though. If you are here soon, we could see if we could find somewhere half way between that has clay shoots! Just between you and me (and everyone else reading this post) my female, Tara, who is in that picture would invite you in and show you around the joint... LOL!! It's my male, Jimmy, who just might take a leg off and have it for dinner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
