  1. Here's another thread on the matter http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/topic/72204-you-might-thinklibertarian-that-guy-in-virginia-aint/
  2. Not that he could have had legally. He was only 23 and from NJ.
  3. Holy math Batman! What did I start! :surrender:  :up:
  4. 1/250 odds means there are two bags with something good. They have 500 total, just saying. ;)
  5. This was the first 12 I've run with the auto plug and I really like it. I got turned on to the Molot (md arms version) grips awhile back and now I have to put them on AK I get my hands on. As far as internal threading, you think theres enough thickness?
  6. Yeah, is going to be a beast ! :D Hoping to run some rounds through it this weekend.
  7. Actually, the 12 and 308 came with ACE stocks. It wasn't entirely intentional. That being said I probably would have used them anyway. ;-)
  8. Well I've always wanted a x54 or .308 AK and just so happened good fortune smiled on me. Thought I wanted a long barrel but after playing with this short barrel I really like it. It'll never be a 600+ gun but at 500 in its all good. It was converted poorly by previous owner so I stripped it down and started over. Have a few things left to do (grip & optics) but it's pretty much done. Here it is with my Draco SBR and recently acquired Saiga 12. Details: Saiga 308-1, Ace stock, CSS internal block, 14.5" barrel with perm K-Var 74 brake.
  9. Bushnell TRS-25 or look at Primary Arms. They are about the only ones in that price range that I would even consider. I prefer the TRS-25. 
  10. ... and it's going to get worse. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/oct/23/miller-dc-businessman-faces-two-years-jail-unregis/
  11. BS. There is a never ending line to get hired by Wal-Mart. One of the best experiences of my work life. The negative stuff is by liberal unions that salivate at the notion of getting all those employees on their union roles.   We cheer for the American Dream till somebody achieves it, then we can't wait to bring them down. Cheering as they burn.
  12. Yeah, we need more details than that! ;) What did you end up having to do?
  13. Gotch. Dolomite's over you way. He might be able to give you hand with that but it is pretty easy to DIY.
  14. I find it funny that Cruz's qualification on citizenship are in question with Obama sitting in the White House. ;)   But I agree, I really like this guy so far.
  15. Don't drill gas ports! Opening the gas block is a very simple and easy fix for an under gassing Saiga 12. Of course you can polish the bolt and change the piston first to see if that fixes your issues. If it hasn't been converted you can send it back to RAAC and they will do the fix for you. Again DO NOT DRILL PORTS!. Here is a easy step by step. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/33836-modification-to-repair-fte-issues-on-saigas-with-blocked-gas-ports/
  16. Keep something in the bowl. Water or otherwise. They will "float" on you and then you will have an even bigger dangerous unusable hole in the ground than you think you have now.
  17. National polls and approval polls mean nothing to congress. It's too generic and anonymous. That's why incumbents are such strong favorites in elections. Even someone like Harry Reid in Nevada. Now, the beltway and media thinks it means something that's why we hear about it. But that's mostly to further the idea republicans are bad and stupid people by virtue. That's why republicans get destroyed when they stay looking at polls. People who care, know what their congressmen stand for and the rest (unfortunately the vast majority) vote for the name they recognize or party affiliation. They think the polls are about other states and districts senators and reps. It matters and has some affect to the POTUS (whoever that is at the time).
  18. No matter what they did the Republicans would and are being blamed for everything. When they quite worrying about being everybody's buddy (including the Dems and Obama) and start actually living by the principals they claim, they will win and the polls will still show them loosing. :shake:  Polls are propaganda of the media and we all know their agenda is never to back a republican, especially a conservative.   I mean come on, they are still blaming Bush for stuff.
  19. I dealt with them for years before the show and they were always extremely nice and helpful. The folks who say they are jerks are usually second hand tv watchers. That being said the show changed things around there and it is hard for them to be the same family owned small business they used to be.
  20. Devils advocate - the buyer also has an obligation to know what they are buying. If he takes back the gun he has to sell it "used" at a loss even after it is fixed by Ruger .since it left on a 4473. If you keep it and send it back or he sends it back and they fix it no one is out money. Only the frustration and wait for the return. It unfortunately is the only scenario close to a win-win.   That being said the box should have been opened and the gun inspected prior to selling as a good business practice. I have seen more guns than I would have thought possible damaged or in need of repairs immediately after opening the box. If he had inspected it like he was supposed to, then problem would have been averted. It you or your wife had inspected it prior to buying it, problem would have been averted.
  21. ... and they are doing this despite the bill that passed both houses and signed by the President prior to the shutdown that mandated they be paid.
  22. glad it worked for you.
  23. You can get them from Kel-Tec directly and they are windage adjustable. You work the elevation on the front sight post. I recommend the aluminum version. Aluminum version http://www.keltecweapons.com/su-16-and-su-22-rifles/su-16-parts/su16b-365-rear-peep-sight-b-model/ Polymer version http://www.keltecweapons.com/su-16-and-su-22-rifles/su-16-parts/su16-230-rear-sight-peep-all-models/
  24. The little round thing IS the retainer. The ends of the guide rod (open end in your picture) fit on the sides of the round piece and the pressure of the spring holds it in place. Like this:
  25. Then it's not broke. The little round thing fills the gap between the two ends but it's a little tricky getting it to hold. It helps to have a 3rd hand. You have to pull the spring back to get the flexibility to insert the retainer then let the spring back up to hold the retainer in place while not letting the retainer twist out or fall out. Have fun.
