Pictures of AK's
I find the Saiga cheap RWS stock to be a little more comfortable to shoot than the Arsenal. So far have about 2k rounds through x5 Midwest Magpul mags and they've been great in both rifles.

Glock G26 Replacement Guide Rod
I use one of these in my g34, just make sure to get the adapter for the gem4 if that's what you G26 you have. Works like a charm and let's you use a variety of manufacturer springs and adjust recoil weight to your liking. http://www.lonewolfdist.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=155992 There's also a few other name brands that offer the same concept, however I have three other glocks with thousands of rounds through them and they're just fine. The only reason I did this is to get the G34 trigger as light as possible.

ALG AK trigger
I have two of them in a Saiga and sam7r. I feel it was an upgrade from each of the original triggers, little smoother and less travel overall. Saiga with BHO required a little grinding to allow room for the BHO on the right side, no need for the roll pin. Arsenal was a drop fit but had to use the roll pin. Didn't take more than 10 minutes to install in either one.

Sig Sauer 30% Off 22 Conversion Kits (40% for Legion Members)
Shot mine today, didn't clean it just lubed it up and threw it on. First 50 rounds had 5 light primer strikes, no issues the remaining 150 rounds. Will be pleased with the purchase as long as it keeps trucking along like the last 150.

I'm officially out of room in my safe :*(
I stole the idea a while ago, works great. All guns in n the main safe are unloaded so no biggie about the trigger guard. If you place them horizontal you can easily get a way with one in the undercut of the trigger guard and one near the beaver tail. Had them like that until the door started getting crowded.

Arsenal SAM7r Observations and Questions
Made some changes, ALG trigger, Troy short rail, RWS mount with TRS and a forward grip. Put 600 rounds through it this weeks and really like it now. The Troy rail is a pita (as expected) to install with the set screws but the forward grip helps with the heat. Did 90 rounds pretty quickly and rail was too hot to touch but the grip made it pleasant to shoot without gloves. Anyway, magwel breaking in nicely and it has really smoothed out. Bottom line is it was worth the $900.

Arsenal SAM7r Observations and Questions
I have two ALG triggers and they're both the same weight as a standard Talco G2, the reset is a shorter and I find they just clean up a little of the slop especially if you do a $0.25 polish.

Arsenal SAM7r Observations and Questions
Ak operators Union are great! My trigger is fine, did a quick polish before taking it out and was good to go. Not as good as the ALG but fine, right on par with the tapco G2. Thankfully no finish issues yet, but seems like Arsenal QA with their sights is a consistent theme.

Arsenal SAM7r Observations and Questions
Ordered Troy short AK rail, called them and they confirmed it will fit.....we'll see. It adds 4" to the hand guard. Also ordered an ALG trigger, which I already have on the Saiga and a retainer plate to replace the shepards hook. I shoot mainly off hand so holding off on the new stock until I get at least a thousand rounds through it. Will also leave the front sight alone for the time being as well, if I really start to love this rifle I'll make the effort to fix it as it looks pretty straightforward to do.

Arsenal SAM7r Observations and Questions
I just picked up a lightly used SAM7r for $900 and made it to the range today. I also have a fully converted Saiga that I've been enjoying since last summer. SAM7r Observations: 1. Front sight is all the way to the left, it is zeroed but it pretty much as far left as it can go. Guess I got a canted front sight edition. 2. My shoulder hurt after 200 rounds, about 50 were from sandbags as I sighed in the irons and then a RS Regulate/Bushnell. I find the RWS saiga stock to be much more comfortable, the Sam is hard and angled down into my shoulder when using sandbags compared to the Saiga. 3. I really enjoy the longer front hand guard of the Saiga compared to the Arsenal for off hand shooting. 4. Magwell is really tight compared to Saiga - need some strength to insert mag but no wobble compared to the Saiga. 5. Mag release is much harder than the Saiga but that's due to above point. Hopefully it breaks in. Questions: 1. Anyone ever fix a canted front sight or should I just leave well enough alone? 2. Any suggestions for a better stock - I know they're harder to find and suggestions are appreciated. 3. Any suggestions for a longer bottom hand guard - again I knew choices were limited so looking for possible solutions? Don't see a lot of options from a few searches I did. Thanks, overall I'm getting used to the SAM, don't know if it will surpass the saiga. Certainly better fit but the saiga is easier to load/unload and I like the buttstock and longer hand guard so far. Also like the bolt hold open feature that the Saiga came with. It may just be a matter of getting used to it, not complaining it's just very different.

Next purchase help
226 SAO Legion is the bomb, 1500 rounds so far no issues and just did first cleaning. I actually prefer the trigger over my Wilson and considered myself a glock guy until I purchased this first sig. The sights are awesome, they look like fiber optic from with blacked out rear in the day but have tritium inserts for low light. All my game guns have fo front with blacked out rears so the combo is perfect for me, don't even see the tritium to distract me during the day.

This would have been good to have previously....I JB welded two of the holes! Thanks Schroedingers Cat for the info. Note from Mod: image deleted, had personal email addresses on it.

Same holster for Glock 17 and 34?
Yes. Buy the one for a G34 and your G17, 19 and 26 will fit. I do it with a comptac paddle holster and switch between them all the time. Or you do like pk90 said and get one with open bottom that lets the longer slides hang out from the holster, choose what you're comfortable with.

9mm 147 Grain Bullet Load Anomaly - Input Appreciated
So I'm back at it before I load up 4k rounds, wanted to double check once again. Here's what happened with similar results from the Glock 34, however the Sig 226 Legion gave results that were expected. I do not think there's anything wrong with the choro as I've confirmed my other loads were in the 10fps ballpark with a different chrony. 3.2gr n320 w/CCI SPP Glock 34 - 874 fps Sig 226 - 827 fps 3.4gr n320 w/Fed SPP Glock 34 - 817 fps Sig 226 - 871 fps 3.4gr n320 w/Fed Magnum SPP Glock 34 - 819 fps Sig 226 - 882 fps 3.4gr n320 w/ CCI SPP Glock 34 - 813 fps Sig 226 - 869 This is almost exactly what I saw with the last batch in August. All done with 10 round strings and temp was 35 degrees, although ammo was still almost room temp. Sig is showing appropriate trend, G34 still shows a dip which is killing me. Sig barrel - 4.4" G34 barrel - 5.3"

Sig Legion Series
Picked up the 226 SAO version Wednesday and shot it yesterday. I'm a fan! The reset is on par with my Wilson and the trigger pull is lighter at around 2.75lbs and feels better with first impressions shooting side by side. Absolutely no movement with the undercut trigger guard. This may replace the Wilson and G34 as my go to IDPA gun once I get a holster rig for it ( be aware that I tried to borrow a Comptac holster for a standard p226 railed and it wouldn't fit for some reason). The sights are AWESOME, front shines nice and bright and the rear tritiums are small enough that its almost liked a blacked out rear sight during the day (my preferred set up) so I can hardly notice them so there's no distraction. I hate the standard DA/SA for gun games and this is my first Sig, I'm very happy so far!
