Well, Windhams are made by the guys who USE To make Bushmaster's, now as far as the new ones i can't say.

No, they will still have a wait. They had backlogs of 6+ months before many had ever heard of them. Of course nearly all the Ak builders had long backlogs, Tromix being the worst. At one point he had a 2 year wait on Saiga builds. As more foreign AK kits dry up, Saiga's become all thats left, and demand continues to rise (thanks Dems!) wait times and prices will only go up. Red Jacket will be around long after the show is gone IMO. Maybe, maybe not. Colt is not what they were. They have the same issue Red Jacket has ATM. People paying more for a name with moderate QC. Windaham is essentially a Bushmaster at a better price. Kinda the opposite of the Colt. Good quality without paying for the name.

The problem is how you quantify "power". There are so many variables it is hard to make apple to apple comparison. Generally though from what I've seen across the board 9mm through .45 are relativley identical in how much damage and "one stop shot" power they deliver to the target using their best loads. BTW the type of ammo and barrel length make a HUGE difference. Here is a chart that I've used as a general idea. It is not the only one but a good comparison. It does not account for some of the newer bullets on the market.

In the last couple years I'm told that Century is farming out a lot of their builds and quality has gone up significantly. Personally I think some of the Century problems have been over magnified by internet commandos. Yeah, I got it for a pretty good price. I thought about getting an Arsenal or convert a Saiga, but I could get 2 of the Tantals and a bunch of ammo for the same cost plus it's different. The Tantal parts of some of the best out there to begin with so Century had a great platform to start with. The Polish can build some great guns. The wire stock is definitely not for the match shooter but it looks cool and the unlocking mechanism is much better than many other options. The last Polish wire folder I had I wrapped in para cord and it helped a lot.

I'm in again 250

Don't know why it posted that way? It's normal in Photobucket ??? Nice joke BTW. everything I've heard latley is that they are good to go.

Always liked the idea of an AK74, but never found one to my liking. Well, since I got the 7.62x39 back in the fold, I decided to get a Tantal while I was at it. So far I like it. Haven't shot it and I hope it is one Century got correct. Serial number range is in the corrected series so I should be good. Can't decided if I want to swap the Tantal wire folder for the extra ACE skelton I've got in the closet or not. I've got some black HG waiting to swap out the existing HG. I like the performance of the 5.45 as well as the cheap ammo! Here she is. I'm officially an AK guy again!

That's just awesome!

The bulge is becasue Glocks don't use a fully supported chamber. It is also why when you see a Glock KB picture it is almost always a .40 S&W and reloads. .40's are maxed out pressure wise and the combo of the chamber and overpresurisition of the reloads that casue blowouts in the frame just below the chamber area. Personally I never understood the .40. It does some of what the 9mm does and some of what the .45 does but not the best parts of either. Not knocking it as it works just fine, but it doesn't give me anything special, difffernt, or better than the other standard calibers.

I carry my M&P in a Raven daily (copy at least). NTAC, SharkTac, AtomicDog, and Crown Holsters all make what you are looking for. I have used SharcTac and NTAc and have been well pleased with them. They are all esentially the same and use the same hardware. http://www.ntacholsters.com/store/WsDefault.asp?One=14 http://www.sharktac.com/ http://atomicdogholsters.com/Atomic/Main.html http://www.crownholsters.com/store/

Sabre upper and lower.

I like the demo. Some folks, especially the newer guys, seem to have a hard time figuiring out how to post pics and leave out usefull info that the demo system seems to mandate. Go with the newer one.

CDNN is a distributor who publishes and sells to individuals at wholesale prices. You'll find a lot of dealers (and rightly so) don't like them very much. That being said I've bought stuff from them that is hard to find. They seem to get a lot of the overstocks, blemishes, discontinued stuff ect.

Add to that it is more stable. It won't have any wobble to it like drop in HG tend to have. It also gives you more versatility and like others have said mostly .... it looks better. The exception is the Magpul MOE HG. Those things lock in there tight, don't wobble and give you the same versatilty with the added bonus of lighter weight and much cheaper cost. Only negative is the still put pressure on the barrel. I still like free float handguards though! Here are the Troy TRX rails I put on mine. Really light and you can add rails anywhere you want.

I can't recommend them highly enough! Great service! Yeah, the hood is a great place to pick up stuff off the record. I've found some great deals in the trunk of 70's Caddy's! J/K Carolina is great to deal with. Pick up just about everything there.

Could be the charges of "slavery" came out only after the maid was in fear of being deported. Happens fairly often. Just playing devils advocate here since it is easy to assume the wealthy parties guilt. Then again if you lie, cheat and steal to sneak into a country illegally and then expect everyone else to be upfront and honest with you, this will happen.

I had one of the P07's when they first came out and REALLY liked them. At the time I couldn't get holsters or sights or anything for it so I sold it. I would get another one if I had a need.

Anyone who doesn't have the ability to contact friends or family for help, is one who is a user and more than likely not to be trusted.

Haha, David does a good job adding these things and making things better. Funny thing is all these new guys worrying about Itrader ratings when a lot of the older members have had dozens of transactions that didn't use any system of feedback. We used to know everyone and who we could trust by sceen names alone. I guess it's just growing pains.

CZ-P01. If it is just step up from the HP then Everest is just a step up from Death Valley! Seriously, you will be able to shoot the P01 more than the others and ammo is easy to find and cheap. Plus a CZ is just an incredibly comfortable, ergonomic, accurate shooting gun.

Only had that experience once when I workred nights, 3 AM at an Exxon in Madison. I was the at one end of the pumps and a car pulls up at the other end. Two guys got out looking around, split up and started walking towards me. One guy was circling the pumps getting on my 9 and the other guy was slowly heading straight to me. We made eye contact and he stopped so we just stared at each other for a few seconds as I bladed myslef and rested my hand on the grip of my holstered gun casually. He finally turned around and they both got in the car and left. I finished pumping my gas and quickly got in the car locked the doors and left!

You guys are missing the forrest for the trees. We are talking about property RIGHTS. The owner isn't asking you to leave and no one is arguing his ability to do so this is an At Will Work state. We are talking about when the employer ask/invites/accomodates your presence vluntarily can he then arbitrarily violate other rights with search , seizure, or legal jeopardy YOUR property once there. Again, we are not talking about tresspassers - refer to above. Why are you agruing against your own statement? You can't agrgue for ones absolute property rights while denying anothers. Is your vehicle your property or not? If it is then you have to apply property rights accordingly.

While it is MUCH easier to have a vice and AR block, I have always installed free float HG in my living room using my knees! You will need a good AR barrel nut wrench. I am partial to the Troy TRX rails myself and the YHM Lo-pro gas blocks. The good thing about the Troys is that they come with the needed tool.

Then why does he also get to be the "king of my kingdom" (vehicle)? You can't argue property rights one way. My wife doesn't become his just becasue we are at his house.
