Short AK platform weapon (krink or pistol with brace) 7.62x39mm Home defense for me requires (in no particular order): 1. Penetration. May have to shoot through barriers (walls, furniture, glass, appliances etc). Invaders might be lightly armored. 2. Capacity. 30 or 40rds as a standard. Might...

Brownells, $120.

Here's my Saiga. Which is also my home-defense rifle for various reasons. It has dimpled receiver, warsaw length Kvar buttstock, G2 double hook trigger, saw grip, and XS big-dot tritum sights. These sights dominate for speed. Easy to see and pick up - great for shooting fast or at movers...

Bingo! This man hit the nail on the head. This has nothing to do with the AK's image. Gun rags are covered with tacticalninja ARs. The reality is that AK is going down because of our own gun industry. There has never been not a single thought about fighting the 1990 import-ban. Not one...

Most overrated - BULLPUPS. Totally worthless in my opinion. These represent idealism taken too far. They are a result of too much engineer, not enough gunfighter input. They are the product of MBA's and number-crunchers and stats-monkeys - not gunfighters or operators. The reason they are...

LOL @ idiots who think they're outsmarting the "system" by not declaring a firearm to the carrier. How dumb. What happens when UPS loses the package? First of all, a firearm is now lost/stolen and you have no proof of it. Reporting it, which is the right thing to do - is to admit to a...

You can thank pro-gun Republican leadership in Florida for that. When the Democrats were in power, they made sure to stretch it to the maximum 90 days, meaning you'd get it 90+ days later as they'd post mark it on the last day. When people say there's no difference or they don't feel they...

The process described above is probably the ultimate. But it is a hard-core approach. If you want to stick to conventional chemical cleaning, I recommend Tipton's Truly Remarkable. This stuff is extremely nasty. It works very well though. I doubt there is better.

<OT material removed.> IMO, AK is a superior platform, and it would also cost at least 1/2 of the AR platform initially (more like 1/3), and much less down the road due to less maintenance. Reliable, easy to use, difficult to damage or destroy and low cost. Departments could arm more...

Doesn't seem like there would be much dwell time on a 16" with a rifle-gas system. Perhaps the gas port is drilled to a larger diameter to make up for the shorter dwell time? Who knows? Mid-length on a 16" is a very good idea. The 16" with CAR system (same as M4 for 14.5" barrels) is...

All of the cheap dots are garbage. Even the top dollar military grade stuff isn't the ultimate solution (Aimpoint/EOtech) ...they have their issues too. I've seen plenty first hand. For me, the best solution is to stick with irons. You don't have to turn those on. They rarely, if ever, break...

There's no need for 100+ posts in a .223 vs. 7.62x39 thread anymore. I have the answer! 7.62x39mm SOFT POINT. End of debate. :p No 5.56 can match the destructive power of that. No tumbling, no fragmentation, nothing. A 77gr at a blazing 2,830fps still doesn't come close. Forget 80's...

Then it is perfectly fine according to your results. It's hard to tell what someone is describing on the internet. One person's "click" is very minor, another's may be very major. People have different ideas, sensitivities, observations and interpretations. That's why I like objective type...

Oh yeah, forgot to add. A properly aligned gas tube will actually have a very tiny amount of "wobble" ...that means there's no force or bend being put onto it by a misaligned gas block or barrel nut. If the gas-block and barrel nut are in perfect alignment, and also aligned together perfectly...

This shouldn't be a problem. This is one area that some 99% of AR builders over-look or fail to understand. So long as the gas key telescopes over the gas tube, it will work. Doesn't mean it is ideal though. It shouldn't slam into it causing a "tink" or "click" sound. The reason for...

No matter what, you're going to have to pay for a better trigger. The only question is, buy it yourself or pay Remington to upgrade it. That's basically what you'd be doing buying the XCR. There was a nearly identical thread comparing these 3 rifles here on THR within the last month or two at...

Strictly for lubrication, Mobil 1 Synthetic is excellent. Grease is even better for certain areas of the firearm. Grease is good. Stays where you put it and doesn't evaporate or burn off the way most oils do. But, I still stick to Breakfree LP (no C) - my favorite, thicker than CLP. I'd...

Honestly, I don't see what will break in a Saiga that won't break in a shotgun or bolt action. Kalashnikov platform is one of the, if not the most robust. MN is even more simple. It barely even has a trigger group. It's a trigger with a heavy duty leaf style spring. MN is probably the...

.223 Saiga is the solution. You don't need to convert it. It already has the ergonomics of the Stevens 200 or the SKS. That cannot count as a negative. Of the bolt actions, the Mosin and Stevens 200 are good choices. MN being cheap and very robust. The Stevens 200 available in .223 will be...

Kentucky_Smith, that is the regular SPS line, this is the rifle he is referring to: http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/premier_dealer_exclusives/model_700_SPS.asp Note, no details. Like I said, they're 1/9, but you can always call with a specific serial number to confirm...
