    Saiga 12

    yes it is.. sent it to a "smith" in Louisiana.. it was one of the ONLY times I ever sent my gun out for work.. turns out this guy had some hobbies.. and decided to pawn it for $200.... and then sold the pawn ticket to someone else.. that went and picked it up.. it was a real mess.. they didn't charge him because he ended up having a stroke shortly after he screwed me.. the detective said we can charge him.. but no judge will put him in jail.. he would be dead before the trial.. so they recovered the gun.. and shipped it back to me... I honestly never thought I would see it again..

    1301 Update

    I actually got rid of the Tactical and moved on to a Comp... but the 1301 is a really good gun..

    1301 Update

    really sorry I missed this.. as stated the rod is not needed.. @TRPC_SHOOTER
  5. it is very likely as stated you have an astigmatism.. I have this (I assume) and ALL RDS look like that... I just get used to it. LOL
  6. i only own a handful of guns.... pretty much all my long guns have weapon mounted lights..
  7. I still have the 40 S&W barrel and mags for the Glock.... but if 9mm "disappears" there are other problems.. LOL
  8. I like the gun a lot but find your optic and light choice more in alignment with close shooting.. which strikes me as odd...
  9. I am not a gun collector.. I don't have a whole lot of guns.. maybe like 8 or 9.. I only choose things based on function... because of that my handguns would never be 10mm or 45.. or anything like that.. 9mm low recoil high mag capacity fast follow up shots performance that will stop most threats caliber compatibility with some of my small PDW type guns (I have an EVO and an AK9) so for me pistols are going to be 9mm... I am not even considering other rounds.. I don't see any value. for me personally at least..
  10. I use to carry a Glock 27 and switched to a 43 (9mm) I also use to shoot a full size Glock 22 and converted over to a P80 (9mm) so for me no.. 40 is a good round and as Ray said you could argue its "better" than 9mm.. the main reason I switched is because 9mm in a polymer gun has a lot less snap than 40 in a polymer gun.. so I can get more shots on target faster and move between targets faster with 9mm.. so the slight reduction in ballistic performance is outweighed by the functional difference of 9mm for me at least..
  11. what is this crazy talk... you are trying to solve a non existent problem.. augmenting your weapon system to some goofy less functional configuration so you can spare the people next to you at the range.. you are IMO on the wrong track.. built the weapon so it functions the best.. and if being next to you at the range makes them sad.. tell them to toughen up... this whole not a pistol grip.. removing the pistol grip.. its crazy talk.. I shoot a 7.5in SBR... you think your gun is loud? it puts 2ft fire balls out of the front of it.. if people next to me don't like it they can piss off.. I would NEVER compromise the weapon over that..
  12. to me... that is not really a pistol grip per NJ wording.. . ""Pistol grip" means a well defined handle, similar to that found on a handgun, that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon, and which permits the firearm to be held and fired with one hand." but the problem is no-one can really answer your question.. because as with anything vague you could be charged and have to fight it in court... but.. is that a well defined handle similar to a handgun? not really.... does it protrude beneath the action? kind of but it almost looks intentionally swept back... can you hold and fire with one hand? probably not easily... but again as with anything in a state that is completely anti gun.... will you have to defend your position? probably not.. but maybe..

  14. OK need a sanity check.. I am going to run an extended rail on a SBR.. I need to get out a couple of inches.. I already own a KX5 that I don't use.. The inside was really eroded from being on a 7.5in 5.56 AR15 I cut the cone down a bit to open up the hole.. a full 9mm casing drops freely through it now.. so the bullet should easily pass through it. if it dealt with that insane abuse of 5.56 out of a 7.5 I see no issue with it handling 9mm.. I believe that with the cone cut open.. it will have no problem sitting on the end of a 9mm SBR.. is there something I am not thinking of? really poor quality picture taken in the dark.. but you get the idea..
  15. I had looked at them before but never really could justify a need for an unregistered non serialized handgun... which appears to be the big draw for these.. I agree.. every gun I own is heavily modified.. but for the most part.. I try to follow a path that ends up with something that works well and looks cohesive.. as opposed to a bunch of mismatched stuff..
  16. My wife has recently gotten into shooting handgun and likes the full size Glock but disliked the palm swell on the grip.. so on I went to investigate frames and modifications to remedy this... as with everything guns for me... a simple modification.. or frame change.. ended up in a total redesign of my Glock.. which I guess technically is not even a Glock anymore..

    OK so not really a rifle.. but from a practical standpoint more a rifle than a handgun.. so figured I would stick this here.. took the gun out for some range time.. running really well... steel plate 25 yards..
  18. late to the party.. but I would buy that gun for $300 without any hesitation..
  19. I am looking for some specific things and figured other people might be as well (feel free to add to the list).. If anyone sees any deals on these things I would appreciate the info.. * Glock 17 OEM magazines * Taran Tactical Base Plates * Glock Tungsten Guide Rod * Trijico MRO Green
  20. I am only saying with our nations complex financial interconnectivity it is easier said than done.. its not normally the first line company you have to worry about.. You support the most pro America.. pro 2a group.. and then they write a $20k check to Horizon Media it kind of defeats the point.. LOL BUT... I agree with everything you said.. and your point about not derailing this thread is valid.. but it is a good discussion..
  21. Only when it's obvious and convenient.. For example... do you support Horizon Media? They called for more gun control alongside companies like Dicks.. While you may not support Horizon directly.. maybe you have a Sprint phone.. or have watched A&E programming.. use Credit Karma.. or Dish Network... you get the idea.. ALL of these companies use Horizon.. and thus give them money.. YOUR money if you support any of them... You can make a point with your wallet if you want.. on principle.. but at the end of the day.. we are a consumer society.. and the money trail is impossible to follow.. your dollars.. are absolutely ending up in the hands of the anti 2A community.. unless you live off the grid.. in a cave..
  22. while I get and appreciate your point.. 2A rights will not be won or lost by shopping at Dicks.. know it or not.. I am going to go out on a limb here and say that more of your money than you suspect ends up in the hands of the anti gun community..
  23. I have a suspicion that the deal will cover anything in the store including ammo and will net some decent pricing on some stuff.. you can hate them all you want and choose no to support them.. just saying.. for some things.. you may save a fair amount of cash..
  24. You are correct Maks.. I have family with adjacent property that holds over 100 acres.. part of which terminates into a mountain side.. or natural backstop.. no fancy range required
  25. My coworker thinks he wants to try longer range shooting up to and including 1,000 yards.. this is out of my scope of knowledge.. what does it take? optic? caliber? gun? I am open to all suggestions since this is not really my thing..
