I bought a Sig Sauer STS-081 from a member of the forum. .sight looked brand new (pix of sight on my Ruger PC9 Below) but it didnt come with the honeycomb filter and I was concerned as could be issue in very bright light. Couldnt find one to buy anywhere on the web. I called Sig Sauer customer service to see if I could buy one from them or if they knew where one could be purchased. The veryfriendly lady that answered said she had those and she would be happy to mail me one free of charge. . . What a refreshing change of pace! I never had any business with Sig before this but I can tell you one thing Ill sure consider that call if/when I decide to get an AR...

IM pretty sure I saw T series in 124 Grain +p 9mm for $24.95 at sgammo...the regular pressure 147grain T series was cheaper. . and both are cheaper in bulk

Everybody needs a 10/22. .But I dearly love my Ruger PC 9. . they are a little heavy but bullet proof. They are getting a little hard to find. Goes great with my P95 DC... interchangable magsand all.

sgammo.com. . .

+1 on the yugo m67. .dont worry bout that "corrosive" label. .Robert Farnsworth over there in Vonore was telling me that he's seen the test that determines whether or not it gets the corrosive label . . . it barely does. . only the slightest differential from neutral ambient conditions could be discerned. . but not in all test examples. . .so they give it the corrosive label. . .he said that was all he's ever shot in his personal AK's and he confessed that he seldom cleans them. He said the red stuff around the primer gunking up around the firing pin if you dont keep it relatively clean can build up with long periods of sustained fire. . he siad and that didnt hurt function he could just see it. . I keep mine clean. . but I dont poor ammonia down it at the range then run in the door and clean it. . . I dont worry if I shoot it Fri. . then Sat. . then Sun. give it a little Hoppes #9 and very very very very lightly oil. . good to go. My Poly's barrel and internals are pristine. . .and Ive been shootin the crap out of mine. .

Those are Federal Hi-Shok's. . in standard pressure. . 147 grain JHP. . Federal's production code 9MS. .pretty much the same thing as a 9BPLE except a heavier bullet and standard pressure instead of +p+. . .

Hey Smith. . that 9X21 is that the same as 9mm largo?

Farnsworth Firearms in Vonore is by far my favorite here in East TN...Robert is great to trade with and knows his stuff. .and hes got a lot of used guns in inventory that he doesn't over price and he has always gave me a fair price for anything Ive traded. The place is disorganized and a little dusty. . and his dad and the other old guy that work in there are a little cranky. .but I only deal with Robert anyway. They have a range and only charge $5.00 to use it but its pretty rough. .but at least you can shoot rifle calibers there...

Hello all, My Mossberg 590 will be here friday and sg ammo has buckshot and slugs for right at $80.00 per 250 anybody have any experience with this stuff.

I know I love my PC 9. .and with 9BPLE it is potent. . .

Yep thats it just exactly as I pictured it is 100% factory correct. . all the way down to the plant 416 early model no checkers on pistol grip. . damn nice find if you ask me

Cool lets see those pix. . .

You cant go wrong with that. .that would make it AKS-7.62. . with spring loaded firing pin. . underfolder bayo. . checkeckered pistol grip. . should be a cwxxxx series. . thats a fine buy. Most of Kengs were factory 386 but if it were a factory 416 gun then it would be a pwxxxx seties and wouldnt have the pringloaded firing pin or checkered grip the rest would be the same

That should be a damn fine purchase. . especially if it a Kengs Firearms Import. . if the serial codes are correct for what its supposed to be . . like CSxxxx for a plant 386 side-folder like mine . .etc. . the only reservation that I could possibly think of having is if the gun was a B West Import with a milled receiver some of those. . not all. . .have issues with the receiver cracking. . but only certain ones. Other than that I demand that you purchase this weapon and post detailed pictures of it in this thread that I may drool upon them. . Then take it out of its NiB status and introduce it to some m67 and prepare to be amazed. . . Also if its truly "new in box" and i know this is true if its a Kengs. . NIB would be box with styrofoam insert (if it doesnt have the insert be wary. . the box without the insert can still be purchased at PolytechParts.com. . but the insert cant. .3 polytech mags with chrome followers. . green sling with leather ends. . .a little green oil bottle. . a little cleaning tool. .and a bayonet. The only prebans sans bayonet are later AKS series sidefolders. . but the factory 386 Sidefolders have the spring loaded firing pin. Theres one gunbroker right now. . a KFS imported milled Ak47/S. . NIB with 100 rounds through in dark wood. . the has bids currently at $1600.00. . reserve not met. . so $1200.00 aint bad at all

Ak-47.net has good info. . I have a preban Polytech AKS. . and have owned a Maadi ARM. . the only Maadi's that you need to stay away from are the MISR series. . the ARM's and RPK's are good to go. Having said that I agree with Urse. . a converted post ban Chinese import Norinco. . Polytech either one is 100% the best way to go. . last1isforme just sold exactly what the Dr. ordered in the classifieds. . I wish I had of bought that just for hell of it. . those have the 1.6 mm receivers. . heavier barrels. .better triggers. . better internals than any of their european counter parts. . just like my Pre ban Poly. Just racking the slide and feeling the difference between Euro single hook triggers and Chinese double hook triggers and you too will be hooked on chinese AK's

Holy thread resurection batman. . .I canb honestly say I have never had a problem with any gun that Ive ever owned. . .

I will have to agree with the yugo m67. . I love the stuff. . but when I shoot it left handed even my face gets nasty

I can only speak to my personal experience. . my Maadi ARM was just fine. But let no one fool you all AK's are not the same. I didnt truly understand that until I got my Polytech AKS 7.62 Sidefolder. But getting a WASR 10 or a Saiga (and note I am not distinguishing between the two) is like going to a great resteraunt and getting a pack of crackers. .ie you might as well not have went. Good variant Maadis are still out there. . reasonably priced as well as some post ban chicoms. As far as a $300.00 AK performing the same as a $1000.00 that is not true. . just racking the slide on my polytech then a WASR or a Saiga leaves no doubt

polytech parts atlanta ga will have what your looki for

yes an sks would lend itself to being more accurate than an AK. .longer barrell etc... in most instances. . . my friend has a norinco type 56 sks with 20 in barrell that would group much tighter than my maadi arm at long distance (the maadi wasnt too shabby either). . I recently aquired a preban polytech AKS (heavier barrell and heavier reciever than my maadi) 16"barrell and it actually groups better than Alex's sks (although slightly). . So in short I guess the best answer would be a garden variety sks with 20" barrell would be more accurate than a garden variety AKM or clone. . but there will be exceptions. . .

:pleased:IBaVol. . .your concern for me it heartwarming. . .as such I could not bear to burden on you at this time. . .

I cant see myself abandoning my PC 9 for that thing. . it looks like a transformer. . . maybe it turns into an expresso machine or something. . .

Just got back from Farnsworth. . sighted in the Meprolights. . .trigger is crisp and light. . no creep at all.. .feels like breaking a ruffles potato chip. . it was awesome. .didnt have to move a thing even after installing the sights . .was dead money at 25 yards. . tight grouping with yugo m70. . much tighter than my Maadi was and it wasnt bad. .I added up what I had in it after the trade and adding the Tru Glo's. . figuring every dime I had spent on the Maadi. . the boot and what I spent at Kengs (polytech parts). . .best $1000.00 I ever spent. . . hmm the sweet smell of Hopps #9. . .

I thought the gun I was getting was the bakelite sidefolder with the cheek piece missing. .I get it and its actually a galil style. .in red. . checkered pistol grip. .here some actual pix the other was stock photo I put in till we met up and did the trade. . . I could help myself I had to put on a set Meprolight Trudots. . everthing elsi is factory. . even the compensator is from Polytech parts. . .polytech mags with chrome followers. .. its in damn fine shape. . .bore is pristine. . .I'm giddy as a school girl...

Thanks mousegunner. . I feel very lucky to have found it. . my understanding only about 500 in this configuration where imprted from 1985 to 1989. . and no_masters i feel your sentiment. . I had jsut finished the conversion on my maadi got the optic i wanted on it and traded it a week later. . it was really hard but I coulnt pass the preban Poly up
