  1. Call Troy at InRange. He usually answers the phone and will give you an honest opinion. He also responds very quickly to PM'S on theakforum.com. He has a vendor section there. Troy is as good as they come in the AK world.
  2. [quote name='Oh Shoot' timestamp='1354670709' post='855016'] Without an exact description of the same model rifle that was changed to suit WalMart, I still call urban legend. It would actually cost manufacturer more in time and disruption of process line to make a "cheaper" one. - OS[/quote] Remington told me directly that they did in the past make guns specific for Walmart and that in in one particular case aftermarket stocks world not fit. We had an 870 that an aftermarket stock didn't fit. The gun came from Walmart. That being said, I doubt since they revamped their gun sales that applies anymore. I thing they area using normal supply chains since fewer sites are carrying guns now.Back when they first started selling guns they had basically the same guns at every store. It would be no different than the Talo guns that are made different in specific runs. Talo specs a gun and they run them in specific numbered runs. If Talo does it on a regular basis, why wouldn't Walmart?
  3. I love the tfo's. I've heard of light puppies coming loser but I've never had that experience writhe several sets. I like them more for the FO aspect than the tritium. I also prefer the yellow and green combo. Really makes the front sight pop.

    You know if Jovan wasn't heterosexual, none of this would have happened either. If he hadn't played pro football, it wouldn't have happened. If he hadn't lived in KC, it wouldn't have happened... The logic some of these guys use and then try to sound deep and profound is amazing.
  5. Kinda my point. Its really a non issue. Its actually fairly hard not to be compliant on an AK. Something folks get worked up about that is pretty much irrelevant. Don't think I've ever had an AK that didn't meet 922r.
  6. [quote name='Dolomite_supafly' timestamp='1354275578' post='852765'] Do what you want but I spoke to two seperate agents and got the same exact answer. You are more than welcome to call for yourself, (304) 616-4500. Just tell the secretary you need clarification on a law. I promise they will not come kick your door in and shoot your dog. I talk to them at least once a month for clarifications. Dolomite [/quote] [quote name='AK Guy' timestamp='1354250153' post='852725'] [b]Not arguing the opinion[/b], but i still hold that on an individual level its irrelevant. Its as if they passed a law that everyone had to dream in red. If it can't be enforced and can't be applied then it doesn't exist, but that's gun laws for you.>_> [/quote]

  8. It is an Ace. The Dracos have a solid rear trunnion that you just drill and tap in place of an internal adapter. Depending on what gun you have there will be different options. That bring said, I world be careful having an internal adapter threaded and a stock laying around until after you have your paperwork. I was using a Stormworkz adapter plate that uses the same Ace hole pattern but mounts as a sling adapter plate. I figured that way I could already have it threaded and ready to go without having any legal issues while I waited for the paperwork. http://www.stormwerkz.com/Description_Pages/AK_SP-AK-01_Views.html
  9. As long as you don't put a stock or vfg, you can do whatever you want. All the things you mentioned are CA laws. Hi caps, FH, and everything else is good here. Here is my Draco pistol. Minus the stock it is a pistol. [IMG]http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w191/nsnate02/Guns/Untitled.jpg[/IMG]
  10. If it's like most, that knurled retainer will need to be loosened and then the rail spins off the barrel nut adapter.
  11. [quote name='LINKS2K' timestamp='1354120938' post='851948'] And the internet psychiatrist. [/quote] I do what I can.
  12. [quote name='Daniel' timestamp='1354081254' post='851798'] [/quote] [quote name='LINKS2K' timestamp='1354118785' post='851923'] I'll bet a lot of folks won't venture to read that far. [/quote] That was the author's opinion as the artist has not stated a position as you quoted. It's nice to see you choose the quote, out of context, you like in order to draw the conclusion you're predispossed to have while useing that to claim bigotry of those you wish to impune. Got to love the bigoted mindset. They see themselves in eveyone else. Regardless of what the artist was intending, it was in bad taste for both sides.You don't make people think by attacking them. It's like a dog in a corner, they just blindly fight back and reinforce their postition.
  13. I also am not a .40 fan. Fine round and has a place but it is a compromise. It does some of what a 9mm does but not the best parts. Some of what the .45 does but not the best parts. All that and it comes at the cost of less rounds, more cost, more recoil, and less inherent accuracy of the 9mm. If I want small and fast - 9mm. If I want heavy and limited capacity - .45 That being said I think the G19 is about as perfect a sized gun there is. It's compact enough to carry easy, yet large enough to shoot like a full size and in a 9mm you are still getting 15 rnds. Just my .02
  14. I'm inspired. I'm now looking for scaprs of sheet metal!
  15. [quote name='crimsonaudio' timestamp='1353962193' post='850926'] LOL, the property owner doesn't think it's worth the risk over petty theft, why should you? [/quote] Property owner doesn't want to get dragged through the legal system over some "petty thief". It cost them more to do that than the merchandise. I guarantee if it wasn't cost prohibitive to prosecute "petty" crime, they would be all over them. Interesting how the system is set up to protects the thief more than the law abiding victim. Seems I've heard that sentiment before.
  16. [quote name='RobertNashville' timestamp='1353951064' post='850833'] Security guard or simply private citizen, except in significantly extenuating circumstances, no one should be killed to protect property; most especially property that the one doing the killing doesn't even own. This thief deserved to be stopped and arrested and tried and, if found guilty he deserved to be punished but he didn't deserve to be executed. [/quote] He wasn't executed. He triggered a response and he played the game. Can't complain when it doesn't go your way. Why do we hold responders to a higher responsibility than the criminal? The criminal went in knowing what he was doing, the reponders did simply that - respond. I give them a whole lot more latitutde. This attitude is why recidivism is a given, not an anomaly.
  17. I don't have a problem with an actual filibuster. That should have been done when the Republicans had the opportunity and the Dems cried foul. As far as changing the vote count, that is the bigger issue.
  18. My issue is more with how punishment is served. Few actually serve their full time or what they deserved. I would like to see crimes punished without all the pleas and sentencing guidelines and when time is served it is over. Of course I'm big on the death penalty and think a lot of recidivism crimes need to be punished to the full extent of the law. However, It's a judicial system not a justice system.
  19. Personally I would go with the same gun in .357 with a 16"-18" barrel. With that length you essentially can get 30-30 performance. You can also load the lighter .38/9mm bullets for small game or juice the velocity up for bigger game. Add to that you can use .38spl or .357mag and in an SHTF scenario you can reload with 9mm bullets as well. That keeps cost, weight, and availability at maximum effectiveness while adding versatility. The .45 is a little more limited as far as hunting versatility, capacity, cost, availability, and weight.
  20. [quote name='Metal' timestamp='1353277157' post='847797'] would this work??? [url="http://www.cncwarrior.com/shop/23984-ext-length-24mm-4pc-brake/"]http://www.cncwarrio...24mm-4pc-brake/[/url] [/quote] That's where I would have sent him. Except you will need the 14x1 LH version. CNCW makes really good stuff. Keep in mind you need to "permanently" attach whatever you use.
  21. [quote name='DarylDixon' timestamp='1353096288' post='846761'] My concern with the Crossbreed is that in pictures I can't see that it would sit low enough to not be seen when I tuck in, but I'm not that familiar. Is that anything to be concerned about? [/quote] I know a skinny guy who carries a Sig 226 or 1911 14 hrs a day and usually has a polo shirt tucked in over it. No one knows he carries. The Crossbreed is adjustable for height and cant as well. It can sit 3/4 or more below the pant line. Not the best way because it's hard to draw with so little to grip above the pant line, but it's doable.
  22. [quote name='S&WForty' timestamp='1353091495' post='846707'] Is there any truth in the statement that TN allows OC with the HCP to eliminate the possibility of false brandishing claims? It seems what we have is worth being thankful for, but I wish we had more leeway like that special permit now issued in MS. (if I've read correctly, they jump through the same hoops for their special permit as we do for our regular permit - grrrr) [/quote] IIRC Yes. There was a case where a person was charged for exposing a previously concealed firearm and the legislature responded by taking the concealed provision out.
