You couldn't have satired a better thread if you tried Dolomite! ... and wow, this went downhill fast. Not every comment needs a response. ;)

    The only thing from IO I would buy and have bought is the made in Poland AK's. Those guns are imported and IO doesn't put their hands on them. The way to tell the difference is in the warranty offered and the model designation. The "M" series and "AKM247" series is IO made and they have a lifetime warranty - AVOID. The Polish made have a one year warranty and do not have "MADE IN USA" on the left side of the reciever.

I agree with most everything mentioned. Red Dawn and The Postman I would add. Note with The Postman I think the idea of the post office being the redemption from apocalypse is far fetched to put it mildly, but it did do a fairly realistic job of showing how nobody's could rise to somebody's fairly easily.

Jeff is a good gunsmith but he works limited times and can be picky about what work he does. Typical gunsmith guy. Sam Hoster has been the go to guy for years. He even consulted on some of the major manufacturers 1911 assembly lines. Of the two, Sam gets my vote.

Yes. Just pick the camera icon at the bottom of the posting/reply window. I should add this is a feature of Tapatalk.

No, it is not drilled.

CNC Warrior. The M92 is a completely different from a standard detent pin assembly. I would just use a crush washer on the Saiga. If the front sight is not already drilled (it's doable) it can be somewhat difficult. You could also change the front sight block out. Some of the Saigas were drilled and then painted over, some are not. Take a small punch and place it where the detent pin should go and tap it a few times. If it starts to break through it's drilled. If not, it's not drilled. http://www.cncwarrior.com/M92-M85-Muzzle-Detent-Pin-and-Spring-p/25301.htm

Not TN but the go to place for the M17s http://www.kmaerospace.com/M17s.shtml

Here are some I've used. '74 style on a vepr x39 Manticore Night brake: Phantom 5C2 style (CNC Warrior made) Slant

Either of those work well as a brake, but will do nothing with flash. The '74 is hard to beat but it rather big and heavy but I like them. My favorite is the Manticore Nightbrake, works phenomenally well. I also really like the CNC Warrior Nightbrake. Works well as a brake and a flash hider. Here is a little comparison I did on a few I had laying around. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/79716-ak-brake-comparison-very-unscientific/?hl=%2Bmuzzle+%2Bcomparison Here are some:  http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2012/12/chris-dumm/ak-muzzle-device-test-part-1-recoil-reduction/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuzoiLKAFwA AR but gives you an idea about some that are similar to the AK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FD-Rou9-9A

Nice gun! You're gonna like the 9mm platform.

Yeah, I just came across a PJK-9HP (Hi-Power clone) and had to pick it up. It was my first handgun back when the bug bit me for the first time and was wanting to pick up another one for sentimental reasons. Great clones. Didn't have a clue about guns then and was fortunate to land a good one to start with.

Try Troy Sellars at In Range. Very busy guy for a reason http://www.inrangec2.com

Not to hash it again, but no one has EVER even been charged with 922r compliance (after importation) as it is unenforceable and a misapplication of import restrictions to the original importer - not a continuation after importation. In other words don't sweat it. It's actually kinda hard not to have enough US parts to satisfy those that think 922r necessary    BTW - John, I have the threading parts if you want to borrow them or if you are in the Nashville area I can help you with the project. 

Milled is heavier and more likely to crack. Milled receivers were more desirable due to their collector value, since not as many were made. That being said, there is no practical reason to spend more on a milled receiver, unless it is for collecting. Add to that it is harder to find parts and furniture for milled receivers than a standard AK. The Pioneer Arms Aim is selling is about the best deal out there, bang for your buck.

A couple new ones to share. After getting down to too few AK's, finally getting built back up. Yugo N-Pap that came with the black plastic thumbhole stock. Got a good deal on this and then picked up some m70 handguards and a m76 stock. Trimmed off the nub of the stock and then Tru-oiled the furniture. Gonna leave this one pretty traditional. Pioneer Arms Polish AK. Cheaper than a WASR and built much better. Added an Ace stock I had and a TWS top cover with a Lucid red dot. Really happy with the Manticore Arms Alpha rail.

You can do it yourself for a little less than paying a smith. Get a kit from http://www.cncwarrior.com/category-s/1933.htm You will need to cut the shroud off the end of the barrel. They are usually already threaded under the shroud. Just be sure not to cut too deep.

It may just be the worst most distasteful publicity stunt ever. Who would have known Amy Schumer had a movie, much less the shooting took place during that movie. Only link I can she, other than cousin Chuck.

Rivets flex with the receiver. Screws don't flex, so the holes will eventually egg out or the screws will break. Either way, not good. It's too easy to do rivets now with tools from Toth or this guy robertforbus.com

Evidently they are big time competition guns in Europe and Australia. I've heard really good things about them.

Hey, Tad! You were next on my list of "insiders" I was going to ask. Looks like I will have to let Sam take a crack at it.

So I got a nice walnut stock and handguard for my engraved Rossi 92 from Precision Gun Works. Let's just say the stock was very rough and not as close a fit as I had hoped. Finally got it to work, but the handguard is way off. PGWs owner is not helpful to put it politely. Any one know someone who can fit the handguards for me? Beyond my told and abilities.

Maybe why Jimmy Olsen had the blues.
