  1. If you ever get up to Nashville bring the Saiga with you. We can knock the whole thing out in about 20 minutes.
  2. Got myself a Saiga 12 to play with, my dad got a Shield 9mm, and I bought my kids a Barnett Tomcat compound bow to learn on. Honestly not ever shooting much bow, I'm enjoying the bow as much as the kids!
  3. This originated during the first Obama scare IIRC. They were making bunches of lowers to meet demand and then serializing them as they went out for sale. Something to do with the Fed cost of serializing during manufacture. It was stupid but not intentionally criminal. Trying to meet demand and keep cost down. The illegal FA sounds like a technicality felony they added on for the case. Sabre on the other hand was a criminal enterprise.
  4. Because you can't get a better factory built AK from people who build top tier AK's without an importer screwing it up. Draw backs are that they are a bit heavier (built like tanks in a good way) and furniture is yugo specific. Nothing wrong with a WASR. Bottom to top "tier" in AK's have little top do with reliability or functionality. Top tier simply have better finishes, furniture, and should have everything more straight and fit "tighter." Unlike AR's, fit has little to do with performance (for the most part). I've seen just as many issues, if not more) with "top tier" and custom build AK's like Arsenals, Krebs, etc. Simply because they are tighter.
  5. Like I said, if that is the case it is more than likely clerical.
  6. Much of the reason I believe removing the mag disconnect and a better leverage trigger like the C&S combat trigger, are the best bang for the buck. Also, better springs make a huge difference. http://bhspringsolutions.com/
  7. You have a real AK straight out of Russia! Convert it and enjoy. The PSA's are nice but I can tell you I had to fit every part that went on the gun. Cut down the top cover, open up the recoil spring lugs, buttstock, handguards. The top cover and recoil spring lugs took quite a bit. I just got the barreled receiver to try out. Nice gun, but just something to be aware of.
  8. It won't do any good to call till you get the appeal back. Keep in mind there are active metro police officers who can't get a HCP due to past records. TN Security guard liscense is much more lenient than HCP. Your domestic charge is probably not showing a disposition on the federal level. Many people have lawyers that don't bother filing one extra piece of paper that shows the disposition in the federal level. If that is the case, you need to ask your original lawyer to make sure the disposition got pushed to the federal side in addition to the local/state level. Technically it is clear but TICS ruins through the federal system and many times dispositions won't show this thus the denial. It will happen every time till you get that cleared, Assuming that is the issue.
  9. What gun? What's the intended use? Answer those questions and you will answer your original question.
  10. Removing the disconnect is very simple. One pin pressed into the trigger. Pop it out and the disconnect is gone. For most of us, this makes the trigger much better and not worth going further. A full on trigger job is going to be expensive. Most smiths change the sear lever location, which means they drill a new hole and relocate the sear. Then they have to hand fit the sear, disconnect etc. It also necessitates a refinish. It is not possible to drop in sears and disconnects without a knowledgeable smiths watchful eye. Short of a full blown trigger job, I've found removing the mag disconnect and adding a Cylinder and Slide combat trigger (wider and better curve) feels as good as most of the smith trigger jobs I've felt. Both those enhancements you can do yourself. Sam Hoster is who I'd go with if you went the smith route.
  11. How is it any different than clearing the shirt or jacket with the off hand with any of the other CC holsters. The only one-handed holster options are OWB non-concealed carry.   It's like saying I won't drive a standard becasue it takes two hands unlike the superior automatic. It's all about trade off's in holsters and carry.
  12. Actually, it's "better is the enemy of good enough. " Sight it in for 100 yrds. Unlike an AR, 2" high or 2" low don't really matter. COM with a 100 yrd zero will be easily achieved at all AK ranges with a red dot.
  13. Can't say enough good things about the HP. Only negatives are possible hammer bite and trigger. Both are fixable. Just remember the HP is what John Browning wanted the 1911 to be. It was his dream design. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
  14. Never got any value out of Rob Ski's reviews or videos. There are a lot of opinions on the forged vs. cast issues, but most of that comes from US/AR15 thinking that nothing is as good as forged. Casting has been used for a very long time on many AK parts. Mushrooming rivets have more to do with improperly installed rivets and or heat treating than anything else.   The old saying with Century WASR's was that you needed to put eyes on it before buying it. A good one will be a good one. Even though Century is no longer assembling or making guns in house, some of the contractors they use/used are just as suspect as the Century gorillas from the old days. I have no problem buying a Century gun, but I would definitely want to put eyes and hands on it first.
  15. Wow, granted I don't know much about the South African legal system, but I am so glad I live in the American justice system - flaws and all. Regardless of what you think about the original charge, trial, etc. These words are concerning.      So you are convicted of manslaughter in a jury trial. An appeal by the prosecutor is filed and a  5 Judge panel then reviews the case and convicts you (without a trial or jury) of 1st degree murder and that is final.  :ugh:   
  16. I'm saddened that my first reaction is anger that this will be used as a political event. :down:    "You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before." Rahm Emanuel
  17. Because, they couldn't figure out the semi-auto .357. (I know they tried, but they couldn't get them to work reliably.)    I know that's a bit simplistic but I have always viewed the 10mm as the .357 semi-auto counterpart. It incorporates the best (capacity, velocity, and mass) of the major SA calibers (9mm/.45 Auto) in a single caliber. On the other hand the .40 is just the opposite. It gets the some of the capacity of a 9mm and some of the stopping power of the 9mm and .45, but not the best parts of either of the other major calibers. :stir:
  18. I think that's the entirety of the point.
  19. Watched regular tv this week during thanksgiving, and what a pain just to sit through all the commercials. Not to mention having to channel surf again. I have been spoiled by my Roku's and Netflix/Hulu. I also like the fact, as the article started, I'm not supporting a bunch of networks that are actively campaigning against everything I believe.
  20. I struggled with the same question awhile back. I have two currently. One is a FN Hi-Power I had bought a while back then sold because I didn't know better. Finally, was able to get it back and it is one my kids will get. It's a nice specimen but it's the story that goes with it that's most important. Secondly is a Rossi M92 that my dad engraved the receiver. I added some nice walnut stocks to finish it. Not a high dollar gun but now it has a family touch and history that gets passed down as well. To me heirlooms are as much about the story as the gun. My dad has his dad's Savage 110 30-30 bolt action bought in the early 50's? That gun while holding little monetary value will never leave my family. It's one of the few things my dad has of his dad. My grandfather died from an aneurysm at 35. My dad was only 5. Look for a gun with a story. Even if it's not entirely yours. Older pic with original wood.
  21. This is an interesting look at how big of a business universities are. The largest employers in nearly every state, with a few exceptions, are either Walmart or a university.  http://247wallst.com/special-report/2015/03/19/the-largest-employer-in-each-state-2/2/
  22. If that's the case, like DS said - one screwdriver and you are done. Pick the stock and grip of your choice and put them on.    Now if you want an under folder, then yeah, you will need someone to cut the receiver/trunnion mounting holes or change the rear trunion and then cut the receiver.
  23.   Kel-Tec makes two. The polymer version is real cheap and then they have the aluminum version which is what I always get. AL version $27 - SKU# SU16B-365 Polymer versions $3 SKU# SU16-230
  24. I'm a big fan of the TWS and the minute they released it for the M92, I got one. I have them on all my other AK's. Much better than the stock m92 cover. Get Kel-Tecs peep sight for the SU-16. Windage adjustable and half the cost of the TWS. It also co witnesses (lower 1/3) with some optics. I run mine with a Burris FastFire III.
  25. I adopted disk brakes early. At the time Hayes HFX were about it. I ran HFX-1s. Magura's were very pricey and Avid had mechanicals. However, then 29ers were a passing fad that had just been experimented with. [emoji3] This was 1998-99. The 29's are definitely different than 26's. I was also surprised how much travel bikes are getting. I remember 120mm front or back being very much free ride territory and close to downhill range. Now, it's barely out of the cross country range.
