Smith

I'm leaning towards ammo as Wolf is known to have hard primers, but usually the AK spring handles them well. May just need a new spring. Can you take a picture of you bolt face with the firing pin showing?

Looks pretty good. You might just have had some bad ammo. How many rounds have you run through your AK?

In my experience there aren't any in Nashville that know much about AK smithing. That being said, anything you need done is VERY easy to do yourself. Just let us know what you need specifically and many can walk you through it. You can also bring it by D&T and I'd be more than happy to show you in person.

Ammo. Are you getting light strikes or something else? I'm not sure what you mean by the case being indendented.

Pictures would be nice. You may need to adjust the firing pin or get a new one all together. The other possibility is a new hammer spring.

If we aren't using "bottom line thinking" what should we be using? Bottom line thinking is the only thing bailing the water out of our sinking boat. It's hard for US buisness to compete with China AND the US government. Highest tax rate in the world ..... Good ole USA.

Technically we manufacture more now in the US than ever before. However, the nature of US manufacturing has changed. It is true that traditional maufacturing (auto, electronics, etc.) have moved but medical, pharmaceutical, etc has greatly increased. It is true that a lot of the manufacturing we do in the US now takes far less personal than the more traditional jobs of the past for the reasons in the article. So while productivity is up, the jobs are down or specialized. All that to say, it's not exactly apples to apples to cry the decline of US manufacturing.

Yep, already been there!

That was the key. The aluminum case did need a little more oomph or it wouldn't throw it out like it should. It wouldn't hang it just wouldn't throw it out of the action. The brass case worked either way. Round barrel. The 16" only come with round barrels.

Yep, although RAA is still technically in business. I think Legion and Arsenal are picking up the slack.

Another cool fact. The "saddle ring" actually makes these carbines the first tactical rifles! The "saddle ring" was used as an attachment point for a single point sling for Calvary soldiers.

I should have said, "home defense rifle!"

Got a good deal on a Puma (Rossi) 92 SRS after it came in the shop on a trade. Finally got to shoot it today and WOW is it fun. Shot all the .38 and .357 I had brought with me without a hitch. Well, the Blazer .38 aluminum case had some ejection issues, but the brass stuff was much better. I will say it was also much smoother with the brass cased ammo than the Blazer aluminum cased ammo. The original owner reportedly didn't shoot it much and from the internals it hasn't been run much, so I expect it smooth out even more. I've already found some great info on how to further smooth the action and trigger and that will be the next project. It was more accurate than I am and it will now be my home defense gun. Simple, easy to shoot, easy to handle, lightweight, compact, fast, and in .357 mag out of a 16" barrel it's got more than enough punch. Can't wait to shoot it again! BTW - anyone know what the difference is between the SRS and the SRC models. This one does not have the bolt safety, and was an Interarms import made by Rossi for Puma? Blue book prices vary greatly between them.

RAA is the importer for Saiga. It is a Russian AK (unconverted). Quality is as good as it gets.

I value wisdom far above intelligence. Think of a jigsaw puzzle. Just because you have all the pieces doesn't mean you can put it together. They dismiss the picture on the box because that is too easy and the "old" way. They want to show how smart they are and how wrong everyone else is by showing you the picture isn't really the picture. You just have to trust that their brilliance is superior to what you can see and know. Liberalism has proven this over and over and over again. They value scholastic intelligence, yet have "learned" nothing of wisdom.

Well, those are nice concealed carry bags .... I guess. If you like that kinda thing. Who's the little boy?

I guess. Canada, bear PAWS (not arms), US Constitution, and 2A. Rather roundabout, involved joke.

I guess I don't get it ????

No. The 9x21 IMI was designed by the Israelis as a get around of stupid European gun laws. The Largo is a 9x23 rounds. Just in case folks didn't know the last number is the case length. So the largo case is 23mm long and the NATO is 19mm long.

I don't see the issue. The association doesn't allow any flags or signs and they fly two on the business park entrance. It has nothing to do with the American flag on private property, as many of the other stories we hear about.

I've ordered stuff from them several times and it usually takes no more than 2 weeks, but I have heard of others taking longer. Their stuff ships straight from the factories and sometimes can take awhile.

.... or you can get one already built for the less.Ultrafire C1 R2-WC 5-Mode Memory 250-LM LED Flashlight with 2*Assault Crowns (2*CR123A/1*18650) - Free Shipping - DealExtreme I have a few of these and they have been great! Good post.

Noi offense taken as the statement is cowardly of us. Isolationism is is self serving in one hand and destructive on the other. Ignoring the rest of the world is what allowed Hitler to rebuild Germany for WWII. Ignoring what was going on in that region prior to WWI is what led to that disaster. Just saying that taking our hands off will benefit us in the short term and yet we will inevitably be drawn into a much larger more destructive problem later on. Also, for us to keep to ourselves assumes that everyone else will too. This led to the rise of Communist Russia and China. Global politics are not as simply as some want to make it. I don't like that we are everywhere and there needs to be a balance.

Because we are the ones they will be used against. Not to mention our only ally in the Middle East, Israel. We live in a different time than every before. As the world shrinks, we can't hide on the other side of the world and ignore everyone else. Our economies, security, ...... are all linked too closely.
