  1. Not entirely disagreeing, but mental illness is the catch all make us feel better answer. Mental illness was a much larger issue in the past with even less "treatment" available and yet these mass shooting issues didn't happen. Personally I think it's more societal issues merged with the above. Media/internet fame, entitlement mentality, relativism, post truth culture, mixed with a grossly over medicated childhood (specifically boys), and the demasculating of said boys I think all play the major role and are backed by psychological studies. However, admitting that the liberal arts/feminism/prescription drug movement that created much of these issues is a failure, is far less appealing to the masses as mental illness ... that makes it not their fault. That being said or church started implementing security procedures preemptively just for this reason.
  2. That's what my link refers to with DIY pictures.
  3. I've done that and works fine. My current gun I actually used a Dremel and a sanding wheel and smoothed them down that way. Worked well and no holes. Here's another good way that's pretty easy. http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=53267
  4. Stock or "stabilizer" is the difference. The first pic in that ad is a stabilizer and not NFA. The others below have stocks and are NFA. No different than an AR pistol, AK pistol, or anything else similar.

    PSA AK's

    but their weapons won the world; Vietnam, Africa, South America, China, .....

    PSA AK's

    I wouldn't. Probably won't make a difference. Try a different mount, if it's not mount related then use a gas tube mount, the TWS top cover mount, or one of the rear sight mounts and call it good. IMO, that's just how AK's roll.

    PSA AK's

    Ok, but no it's not. Cross bracing push, rivet deflection, wavy 1.0 mm receiver wall, front trunion issues, the base rail groove itself not machined cleanly all get magnified with the mount. Cheap mounts can have the same issue if the rail and mount aren't straight to begin with. That is probably what you are seeing, but it is and was common to have to offset Russion optics to towards one side or the other to compensate.

    PSA AK's

    Actually no. Receiver flex, receivers within spec but slightly off all make a difference. I've never had heights issues, but several country varieties I've had windage issues. I'd have to set optics all the way right or left to get on target. AK receivers are so loose that you can have a solid functioning AK with a crooked receiver and never notice till you put a side mount on and look down the receiver. You can also run into the issue of canted front trunions that actually throw you left or right (consistently) depending on the barrel push. This will also create a similar issue.

    PSA AK's

    That's fairly common with all side mounts. Reason I always used the TWS system, Ultimak, or SLR

    Eh, that's blem model pricing.

    PSA AK's

    They are not your average American made AK. I've had them since they first came out years ago and they are good to go. I'd take a PSA long before a Century or any other American AK, especially an I.O. which I'd never buy. However, I'd still take an import first and the new Romanians are better and cheaper..
  12. David pretty much got it. Although the CZ P10c is putting its name in the pot, but it needs more time on the market.
  13. Nope, he instructed as an authority figure and for cause. Legal code for that was correct. IMO, and the laws, if you have to go hunt for a law to apply to a case that has no direct law, or invent a correlation to existing law though unprecedented legal interpretation and application ... you are legislating from the bench. Again my quote from legal theory, "hard cases make bad laws" . Think about applying the same principle you're trying to use here to the 2nd amendment ... or any other. I actually know what the consensus here is in that regard.
  14. Philosophy is not law. Legal phrase for you "hard cases make bad laws" or a nother way of saying, "empathy is bad politics."
  15. Disagree, the suicide verdict was ridiculous. They are going to start charging "bullies" with manslaughter next. Except in the case of "inciting a riot" or "inciting violence", those are the only legal forms I know of that can apply "legally". He killed himself, she did not have any part of the action. She could have been charged with "inciting violence", but I doubt her actions fall under that scrutiny. He should be held liable for his decision. There is no "legal" application for that girl with manslaughter except what the judge made up. In this case she made a decision and HER direct actions led to death. Manslaughter is absolutely the right charge and almost the definition in this case.
  16. Beautiful pup. We got a new friend a few weeks ago as well. Josey is now 11 weeks. Border collie mix. First week, she'd need to go outside at about 3 am, but after that she could go all night. Pups are a lot of work but great fun.
  17. A couple Christmas presents. 95 American Standard Strat. New pickups, picguard, and control's on the way. Gonna black it out. Already added Fender locking tuners. Line6 V60 & FBV Mk III Express. Way too many toys in this amp! Lots of fun though. I still want a Vox AC30!
  18. I've used the Burris Fastfire III on a Glock 19 MOS, and really like it. If I were super serious and had enough money to waste, I'd go with a RMR and leave it on.

    5.56 or .308

    You know what I think! But if you decide to part wit the Saiga, let me know!
  20. Just picked this up today. Always wanted a PRS and I got a great deal on this one. It's not American made, but it wasn't $4k either![emoji6] Wish I had the Epiphone Sheraton II and the '86 Les Paul I had when I thought I was a musician. Sold them 18 years ago to fund my wife's wedding ring. Don't regret it one bit, but I sure liked those guitars. Now I play in church on Sunday's and that's about it.
  21. No. It has to be in his state.
  22. Well, I figuered if Hillary won I could make a small fortune and if Trump won, everyone in my family would be well armed. Everyone is now well armed. I do need more AK's. Maybe Trump can get that door opened back up. A $700 WASR is just crazy. I miss converting Saiga's for dirt cheap.
  23. So, now that Trump will be president, what am I going to do with all these extra AR's and receivers? How low well they go? [emoji6]

    Cubs!

    Well I'm a life long cubs fan, and I gave up hope after game four. I won't get excited again till after they win a game six. Then it'll be back to near heart attack status.
  25. Click on the link to the pictures and it shows what that site is selling them for. Seems to vary depending on gen and a few other details.
