The Kel-Tec Sub 2000 is available with grip frames that use either Glock 17, Glock 19, S&W SW59, SIG P226 and Beretta 92f mags. You just have to order the one you want. You can't change them without sending it back to Kel-Tec. http://www.impactguns.com/store/kel_tec_sub2000.html

CDNN has the SU-16C rifle for $499 right now if you want to round out the set.

Keep in mind that the P7 PSP and the P7M8 are not the same gun, almost but not. The PSP has the heel mag release and is what is currently being sold as police trade-ins. The M8 is a later version developed specifically for the American police market and has the ambidextrous thumb mag release at the back of the trigger guard. As the previous owner of one of each, I agree with everyone else that they are fabulous carry guns. Other than the heat issue right over the trigger (don't shoot more than 30 to 40 rounds in a five minute period) the biggest issue for me was cleaning. Because of the fluted chamber so as to float the case out of the chamber the guns fill with soot relatively quickly. They get dirty everywhere, down in the frame, under the grips, everywhere. They never quite working but I hated cleaning it. But they are fascinating, fast acting, sweet shooting firearms.

I have an 85 UltraLite, the aluminum frame one, and it's a great little pocket gun. It is my carry gun of choice. Everyone is right about the .357 version. I have a bunch of really hot 38spl handloads that I have been gradually shooting up and I can't do more than 10 or 15 at a time in the little Taurus. It is mighty painful. The .357 is not so bad in something like a Ruger SP101, a much heavier gun.

The pawn shop heyday of the 90's is long gone. That's for sure. There used to be 7 pawn shops in a 5 mile stretch of Nolensville rd. and they all sold guns. Now there are 3 and only 2 sell guns. There are still 3 pawn shops on Charlotte out near White Bridge Rd. that sell guns.

You guys have some really nice stuff. Here are my three: 1942 Thompson M1A1 by Savage 1941 MP40 by Steyr SWD M11/Nine Bullet Hose - I need to take a new picture of this one since I added a front grip. Here's a video of a friend trying out the Bullet Hose.

You are correct. It was one of the Army's requirements. None of his .38 Super or .45 models had the grip safety.

We're not worthy. Anyone who has an interest in what makes a firearm work and how... or has ever thought about how they would design a firearm MUST acquaint themselves with the designs of Mr. Browning. A truly gifted designer.

You have two choices for mags. Buy the Surefire 30 round mags made for the Saiga and you don't need the bullet guide. They have the bullet guide built into the front of the mag like the factory made 10 rounders. Or put in a bullet guide and use military mags, usually Galil Orlites, because the required modification for them is so quick and easy. The one in the auction is misleading because the picture shows a 7.62 mag in place. The ad states that 30 round polymer mags are available for $40 each. Probably Surefires. Also, it's not necessary to file down the mag catch on the 223's.

Way back in 1991 when I bought my first NFA item, a Ruger KAC556, great little rifle btw, the dealer I bought it from had a NIB Beretta 93r sitting on the table when I went to pick up the Ruger. Naturally I had a fit to look at it. He wouldn't even let me touch it. He said it was already sold to someone else, for $8500, in 1991! He said there were less than 10 transferable 93r's in the country. They are soooo cool. I saw a gas powered airsoft 93r and bought it for a while just to play with. It was pretty cool too.

Having been in the computer world for the last 25 years building an AR reminds me a lot of trying to decide what to put in a homebuilt computer. The choices are virtually endless. At least you seem to have an idea of what you want it to look like and what you plan to do with it. That's the necessary first step. And you've set a price limit. That's the second step. I would suggest you keep reading and make a list, either by saving websites or writing down brands, etc., of the things you see and like with their prices from different sources. Don't fall into the trap of "must have it now". Have fun with the planning and purchasing. You'll enjoy the rifle that much more.

SIG makes specialized sight pushers for that sort of thing. I usually lock the slide down in a vise with a piece of leather to protect it and use a brass drift with a thin leather shim to protect the sight and tap on it with a medium sized ball peen hammer. Front sights aren't easy though. If it's not really noticeable that it's off center I would drift the rear sight instead to compensate. Usually much easier. If the front sight is off to the left it will shoot to the right. Push the rear sight to left also to compensate. You should carefully shoot it from a rest first to make sure it truly does need adjustment.

Congrats Len! And you too TripleDigitRide. You sold it AND you kept it in the TGO family.

If you can't find the Butch's, I've had very good results with Sweet's 7.62 Solvent and I don't think it's quite as harsh.

Sweeeet!!! That's a Commander size isn't it?

Wow Magic, you spent more on optics than you did the rifles! Maybe I'm not maximizing the potential of my Saiga with my $20 BSA red dot.

You never know for sure with a gunshow but my experience at the last RK show (which was their first at the Expo Center) was very positive. I have been to many Pope shows at the same location and the building was never full. There have always been some open areas with no vendors. The RK show was pretty much full, the most vendors I had seen in that building.

Hammer and Disconnector would be cheap and easy and allow you to keep the original trigger/stock/handguard, etc. since you don't won't to "convert" it. Buy a G2 FCG kit and just don't use the trigger.

I had a Holosight for a while on a Ruger KAC556 machinegun. It was great and held up with no issues (can't say that for all the sights I had on that rifle. I had a Tasco ProPoint that broke twice). Btw, even though I converted to AK's years ago, that's a very nice looking AR.

Who's going? I thought their last one was really good. Here's a link to a discount coupon. http://www.rkshows.com/coupon.htm

I'd love to try a VZ58. I've read they are sweet shooters. I handled one at a funshow recently and REALLY liked it. It is lighter and better balanced than an average AK and the build quality of the CZ imported one I looked at was exceptional. Unfortunately the Czechs didn't see fit to put the Warsaw Pact scope rail on the side.

I bet with some duct tape and a little ingenuity you could shoot THREE at once!

Imo the biggest thing holding back the accuracy of any AK, especially a well built one like a Saiga, is ammo. The average mil-surp 5.56 is more accurate than most 7.62x39 that is widely available. Wolf, Tiger, old Chinese stuff, whatever. I think with some high quality ammo, like Win, Fed or other U.S. made stuff, a Saiga in 7.62 would really shine. The 5.56 Saiga I had would definitely hold minute of bowling pin with the PMC ammo I shot through it. The 16" .308 Saiga I still have will also shoot that well with good ammo. I had an opportunity to shoot it at 550m with some military match ammo and it held to 8" at that distance. If you want to come down to Owl Hollow some time you can shoot my 7.62 or .308 Saigas. Btw, where is Terry's or Viola?

Sounds like it may not have had any powder in it. Would just the primer have enough uumpf to push the bullet into the rifling?

Now you're gonna have to change your pictures in your profile. Maybe something with more of a sniper pose.
