Rem or mossy?

You assume he is privileged. Maybe he just works and takes care of his own business. We are not victims of out circumstances. Tort reform and remove insurance restrictions. The reason these companies can drop anyone they want is becasue they have a suedo monopolies. They don't have to compete with out of state companies and their packages are restricted to mandates. If I could truly shop for what I want I guarantee I could get a better deal. On a side note, get an HSA and learn what insurance freedom could be. Unless you already have a lot of health issues it can't be beat. UNder $100 a month for me and under $300 for my whole family and I can go to any doctor I want and can negotiate price (usually a 1/3 of billed) becasue I'm considered a cash customer.

Man! He drives me crazy!

Count as two?

It may be .38 super loaded down. Pretty funny how he had to use both hands to pull the trigger! He's going to do well as he gets older.

You mean Arabic? There is a difference.

+0.5 What could be more true AK than a Russian AK?

Do contractions count?

keep to three!

Again cost is why they won't switch. Get rid of the accountants and bureaucrats and see! We'd probably have a 30-06 AR!

Yes. The BATF did some investigation and licensing revoking, but I'm not sure anyone knows exactly what the details or outcome entailed.

Same reason the AR uses the 5.56 - ammo cost. Interesting that now most in the military want to go bigger.

What's vacation?

Where are you "missing"? I usually miss low left which indicates jerking the trigger and anticipating recoil. Knowing where you "miss" can tell you a lot about how to practice. Remember practicing wrong is worse than not practicing. I can't ever find the training target, but I'm sure some one can link to it.

I was just looking to get over the 3000 post mark. I'm relaxed now!

Not true. If you DIY, you can go as low as $80-$100. My first one I sent to Red Jacket in LA and a full blown AK103 clone ran me $400 (parts included). So, $400 plus the $300 (at the time) Saiga and I had a Russian AK103 for $700. Arsenal Bulgy's start at $800 and it's not even Russian, but they are very nice.

The good thing about AK's is you can't really get a bad one. Century's problems are mostly canted sights and they used to have monkeys with hammers assembling them. Not entirely differnt than a lot of third world countries and those have fought many a war just fine. Saiga's are definitely the way to go. BTW - the Tantal is a 5.45x39 caliber weapon (AK74) and not an AK47 (7.62x39). While most people went the 74 route for ammo cost, I think it offers nothing more. The 7.62 is a better round all together. If you want .22 caliber stick with the AR.

We really need to scrap English and go to Latin..... or Greek!

From what I have seen, the piston AR's are not quite there yet. I like them, but that is why I like the AK. Since this is your first AR I would get a DGI and then you can shoot and accessorize to your hearts content with the money you saved over the GP. Then you can evaluate whether or not you really want a GP or not. Most of the GP makers you can buy aftermarket and fit to your AR anyway.

While he definitely a wise man, we have to remember that liberalism/socialism/tyranny is not new. We neither invent nor create anything that hasn't been tried before. We just change the name and believe in our narcissist nature we can make work what has always failed. That we can make right what has proved to be false. That is why the founding fathers stated things like "we believe these truths to be self evident". Meaning absolute truth that exist apart from man and govern man.

What do you consider good "placement" of your shots? Meaning distance to target group size etc.? I can tell you that 800 rnds is usually just on the other side of getting a new pistol "broken in". It will take many more than 800 to start seeing improvement. Training will speed this up tremendously. Despite what some people think, shooting is not intuitive. In fact it is rather counter intuitive for a person to hold an explosion in their hand and not take cover.It is a learned skill that fades very quickly without "good" practice. Movies have led some to believe they can simply pick up a pistol and shoot a bad guy in the arm, leg, or shoot the gun out of the perps hand at 50 yrds and that just ain't so. You are wise to seek more skill, so don't be afraid to learn good habits from a profesional.

My 3000 post!

wait for what?

Tru dat!, tru dat! That's me! I work nights and sometimes I'm pretty tired and my mind moves faster than my fingers. When I look back at a post I thought was grammatically perfect, it looks like it was written by a 5 year old!
