    I have CZ-82 from last AimSurplus batch, about 400 rounds through and everything works fine. Adjusting grip screws carefully to have mags drop easy, but no other issues - not bad for 30 years old military surplus pistol. Maybe you need different gunsmith?
  2. Had great time today at your range and nice meeting you, Anthony. Got some useful tips from one of the range officers, appreciate that. Have to admit: looks like both Glock and Sig are capable of better accuracy than my CZ-82 Glock is OK, but Sig P226 feels like it belongs in my hand. Now I'm looking for Sig P226 Classic 22lr with 9mm XChange kit.

    I guess I'm wrong. For some reason I thought pinned/welded A2 flash hiders are common on AR-15s. Was wondering how people are getting away with it...
  4. Vini replied to Carcano's topic in Rifles
    I don't think you have issue with barrel/hider: "14.5" HK 33 barrel,& permanent HK flashider,is a 16" total length barrel " Issue may be with "PARA STOCK , BAYONET LUG"
  5. 1. Stupid kid. How stupid one has to be to run his mouth about going to shoot someone and getting caught right after that? 2. Hopefully "unlawful possession of a weapon" is a real charge, not just because rifle was scary "looks like AK".
  6. Thanks.
  7. Is it possible to rent more than one handgun in one hour? I want to bring my pistol, rent Sig 226, Sig 229, Glock 19 and shoot them side by side.
  8. Congrats! Subscribe to Hot deals section and one day u will get a good deal. This rifle eats cheap Russian ammo just fine.
  9. Most of the people you know are not willing to fight, kill someone and risk their lives. They have families, properties, jobs and bunch of stuff to loose. It's safe to assume they will not join resistance right away. Same was in any occupied country. But than come bombings, invasion, casualties, abuse, murder, rape and other "benefits" of military action. A lot of people in Iraq and Afghanistan didn't join fight just out of the blue, until they got a reason. Few years back one old smart man made a comment about radio report of shootings at our troops in Iraq: "Why they are acting surprised? We invaded their country, bombed the crap out of them... If I was there I would shoot too, just on the way from work before picking up milk and beer." Once people have casualties within their family, friends, neighbors and co-workers, they will start looking at things differently. Especially those under 30 without kids and those over 50 (I've had a good life, what the hell I have to loose now?) with kids all grown up. Once simple things like keeping food on the table and roof over the head become a big deal, when quality medical care is out of reach and long happy retirement is not an option anymore - people re-evaluate value of life and freedom very quickly. Not everyone, but enough for effective resistance. Western Ukraine was added to the Soviet Union in 1939. It was bad: a lot of people were murdered, arrested and moved to Siberia. In 1941, when Germans took over, local population greeted them with flowers. Germans weren't nice for long, big resistance movement formed (about 400K people from 1942 to 1956) fighting both sides: Germans and Russians. Last resistance units were officially destroyed in 1956 (11 years after WW2 ended). In fact local fights lasted till mid 60s. Party officials never felt safe to be in Western Ukraine, quite a few of them disappeared never to be found. A lot of people died, were tortured and imprisoned. Some villages were just wiped out some moved to Siberia. But at the end Western Ukraine never truly became part of Soviet Union, traditions and language were preserved.
  10. I believe multiply calibers are possible with SIG226 and 229. http://shop.sigsauerguns.com/Conversion-Kits/P226-Conversion-Kits/ http://shop.sigsauerguns.com/Conversion-Kits/P229-Conversion-Kits/ I believe it's cheaper to get classic 22 (226 or 229) version and than buy big caliber conversion.
  11. I think this law will do next: 1. Show that more legal guns = less violent crime and gun crime - have no doubts about it. 2. Allow people to choose where they want to reside: pro gun communities or anti gun communities. 3. Allow criminals to make wise choice of their target areas.
  12. In my experience former military guys are more disciplined, polite and have very clear understanding of chain of command. Goes to all fields of after military life including law enforcement. I would take ex-military LEO every time vs regular civilian one. carguy3j, have you had a lot of personal experience with ex-military people or your opinion based on Hollywood movies and TV shows?
  13. I'm not trying to discourage you or to push you into buying something. I'm an AK guy, so I've got the cheapest possible good AR-15 basically to learn the platform. I'm not shooting it a lot, not a big fan of the platform over all so it's fine for my needs. Once you start shooting you might want to do most common AR-15 mod - to change a trigger to suit your needs. Than you will notice that occasionally you are getting blinded. Adding a brake/hider would run you [i guess] about $120-$150. (part + threading + pin/weld) Just my recent personal experience.
  14. I have one of those, nice rifle but has some limitations. You can't change trigger group, no dust cover and no forward assist. Recently compliant M&P-15 Sport were in stock for $609 with free shipping: http://www.sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com/products2.cfm/ID/128766/c/firearms Add cost of transfer $25-$60, depends where you do it. Total cost $635-$670. $700 + $49 tax + $15 nics will get you to $764 total cost. You can try to get some discount from LGS. Looks like a lot of people like PSA rifles. If you keep checking palmettostatearmory.com for specials, you can get a better rifle in about same price range, IMO.
  15. It would be a very complicated mission. Start from well coordinated a)identify and destroy satellites; b)series of EMP attacks; c)identify and destroy subs with nuclear arsenal; d)keep rest of the Navy busy to avoid direct destruction of vessels with troops. (necessary steps so they don't get nuked back right away) Than what they get in return? Nothing really. 300 million of pissed hostile well armed civilians - it makes about 40 mil able bodied man who have problems taking crap even from their own gov... Guerrilla warfare can go for years or decades without need of external military resupply - people have a lot of firearms and ammo even without getting into big brother's warehouses. Think: what kind of military, financial, technological and men power needed to accomplish the mission? Who can realistically pull something like that? Unless China and Russia put all their resources together and join forces to prove something just for kicks There is no need for big action. Another way works just fine
  16. It's kind of tradition in NJ: most dangerous hoods grow around State/County seats. Newark, Paterson, Trenton...
  17. Yep, bcpd has really bad reputation around here
  18. Would someone call Gun Protective Services?
  19. A lot of good info here. Thanks.
  20. Looks like female victim Diamond Drummer is from Hillside, NJ. She was coming back from a show in Manhattan, so it's safe to assume group of her friends and her brother were from about same neighborhood. Later reports don't say nothing about victim's brother shooting back, seems like there was only one shooter: convicted felon Tari Turpin (East Orange). Looks like he managed to shoot himself. Here is video from ABC http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/local/new_jersey&id=9218225
  21. We all know of quality of "journalism" at NJ.com. If we stick to the facts, we know that man denies any wrong doing. Also we know that only evidence reported is video or photo of man with binoculars and video or photo of something looking like barrel (could be broom handle or fishing rod etc) "emerging from his home on at least three occasions since January" - something was visible emerging from window 3 times during 6-8 months period. I don't know how dead birds are documented and what kind of forensic evidence is behind "During some 2½ years, authorities say, at least 40 dead or injured birds fell into the yards of Losasso’s neighbors in Atlantic County, some with bloody feathers or beaks or open wounds." I don't see mention of evidence for "he fatally shot and attempted to fatally shoot three red-tailed hawks, one sharp-shinned hawk, one red-shouldered hawk and one Cooper’s hawk", unless it's video or photo of something "emerging from his home". "He also allegedly spread bird or squirrel seed in his yard, presumably to attract the birds" - I'm no expert, but it sounds like BS to me. Having an unknown seed on the yard is evidence of nothing and I doubt hawks care about seed.
  22. 8 p.m. Saturday http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/2013/08/jersey_city_man_shot_in_the_abdomen_on_armstrong_street_and_sterling_avenue.html 5:30 a.m. Sunday http://www.myfoxny.com/story/23249192/path-station-shooting A bit earlier, Thursday. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/2013/08/two_men_injured_when_30_rounds_fire_in_jersey_city_today.html Former and new mayors of JC are known members of Bloomberg's Mayors Against *Illegal* Guns, the group that memorialized Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev as a gun violence victim at their rally. How long would it take for Steve Fulop (new mayor, rising NJ Democrat star) to use those shootings against law abiding NJ gun owners?
  23. Sometimes Russian non-corrosive ammo in Russian caliber turns out to be corrosive if it has been made by factory with gov orders. There are no Russian military orders for .223 and .308. Mix of some components at 7.62x39 or 5.45x39 line occasionally happens.
  24. Vini replied to illy's topic in Rifles
    As far as I know there are no extra parts kits for an AK. And, just maybe/just possibly, there is a practical reason for that My personal choice is AK-74 for all practical uses. Recently obtained converted Saiga .223 - just out of curiosity, wanted to see how 223 works in AK platform. Works well. Could be great weapon for any sort of end of [insert your fear] scenario. But, as someone who actually lived through one very big and very real SHTF event - collapse of USSR, I don't think we should expect SHTF anywhere soon. Not at the level when you actually need a firearm. If left pushes socialist agenda too far, some unfortunate events might occur, but I doubt it would look like SHTF
  25. Interesting. 2.5 hours drive on one hand (get up at 5am ). Chance to shoot at 600 yards on another hand. Seeing faces (if I score well) after shooting my converted 223 Saiga - priceless. About 20 years ago I've qualified with 5.45x39 and 7.62x39 at 400 meters (437 yards), but 600 yards is a different story. At 600y 223 has about 108 inches (2.75 meters) drop... Would I get a chance to shoot few rounds before the competition to adjust scope/irons?
