Pistolsmith and small handgun manufacturer in CA: John Jardine, Valtro USA. http://www.valtrousa.com/ Very, very well recommended.

Last I heard NH required a PA resident permit prior to issueing a NH non-resident permit. Furthermore, I am not sure whether a NH non-resident permit will allow one to carry in PA the way the reciprocity agreement is worded. Finally, even if recognized in PA, a NH non-resident permit would have...

Not hunting on purpose at all, but if I happen to be in the forest/mountains I would like to carry something powerful in a small reliable frame with a load that penetrates should the need to defend myself against animals suddenly arise. Edited: So, which is stronger, a nickeled carbon steel...

I guess I should have specified hunting-type ammunition as opposed to lighter defense rounds. That's why I mentioned heavy 200gr rounds. I wanted more opinions regarding how strong or weak K-frames really are. Edited: Please explain why lighter bullet hot loads do more damage to the frame...

More quotes to consider Taken from Garret Cartridges' web site: Very interesting, if independently verified as true. Marlin is the only rifle they recommend for this load. I guess the question remains, is a Marlin 1895 or 1895G (or GS) reliable enough to use with dangerous game? It's not a...

Comparing Garret Cartridges Hammerheads with various dangerous game 458 Magnum and 458 Lott loads, it seems that the heaviest bullets available are somewhere around 500 gr. This article (http://www.garrettcartridges.com/penetration.asp) claims that for a given weight (around 500gr)...

I have a pair of K-frame Smith & Wessons--M65 (stainless) and M13 (nickeled)--both have 4" heavy barrels. If you could, please help me sort out a few questions I still have. 1. Which is stronger for the purposes of *very* hot .357 loads? I suspect the M13 is a bit stronger due to being carbon...

I believe the difference in these licenses is Utah CCW being accepted in Washington state and not accepted in Pennsylvania, while Florida CCW is the other way around. I am not sure if there are other minute differences in various states that accept "resident" but may or may not accept...

Isn't Utah CCW license almost as largely accepted as Florida's? Maybe someone can clear up whether Utah records remain private, in which case, perhaps it's best to avoid the FL CCW publicity.

No, where did I imply that? Unless you consider letting go of the forearm to open doors "one-handed" defense. I suppose I could kick all doors in and turn on lights with my nose. :) This AK pistol looks really interesting. How come this hasn't been done before? (Has it?) Are there legal issues?

I believe there is a hole in the folding stock to allow for a longer magazine. Having no pistol grip sucks, though.

The SU-16C almost looks comfortable to use folded. Why doesn't it have a normal pistol grip? Still interested to know who makes that underfolder for M1 carbine in the picture I posted earlier. Bull-pups probably wouldn't work because I can't imagine shooting one not off-shoulder. Am I...

Bump.

Where do I get this stock?! It looks amazing! Can this be put onto any M1 carbine? I wonder what the length is with this thing closed! It looks like it can be opened while the magazine is inserted! And an under-folder, too... :)

What do you think is more efficient in terms of saving money: 1. Buy an under-folding stock + parts, have a smith install it on my existing 2003 SAR-1 (currently in as-sold condition), or 2. Buy a Vector Arms AK-47 clone already with an under-folding stock and blonde wood handguards for...

The reason I specifically requested semi-auto is simple: I may not be able to use both hands to cycle the lever/bolt/pump, what have you. With a folded SAR-1, I should technically just worry about the trigger and hold on to the pistol grip. At least in theory. It's really good to know that...

I have a SAR-1 that I described in my previous replies. I am more interested in modifying its laminated fixed stock than getting a whole new AK-pattern rifle. Of course it's not a 100% solution to my original question (26" OAL, 16" barrel) because the stock must remain folded for the AK to be...

Not for storage! I want it to be usable and 26" or so long. Can someone clarify the potential legal issue with putting a folding stock on a Romanian SAR-1 imported by Century that came with a foreign laminated wood fixed stock set?

No offense to anyone, but this thing looks insane. :) Regarding putting an under-folder on a SAR-1. I can't find any instructions or a description of what needs to be done. Does anyone have a link?

I am trying to imagine holding and using a bullpup and it seems a bit problematic. I don't know. I think I should at least exhaust all other options before going to the bullpup design. While the M1 Carbine is extremely compact, it also comes to around 35" or so, just like the AK. Hmmm...
