  1.   That's what happens when you open up a can of whoop-ass.
  2.   They have, or rather the manufacturers and retailers have.  I bought a box of the 325 round Federal Automatch at a local WM about a month ago.  It was $18.97 before taxes.  I'm pretty sure that is about $4 dollars more than a year ago.   I don't entirely blame WM because I have noticed in the past 5 or so years that Federal ammo prices increase significantly every year.
  3.   :lol: Didn't catch that.
  4. What's .22 le?  At that price I hope it means "lightly explosive".
  5.   Where's the fun in that?
  6. I reckon it's for putting a little oil in there from time to time.
  7.   I've been shooting Russian commercial production x39 or close to 20 years now and have never had a problem.  Barnaul, Brown Bear, Wolf, KSAP, Golden Tiger, etc.  It has all performed flawlessly and goes exactly where I point the rifle (within a couple of MOA).  That's all one could ask for from commercial ammo.   I've also started measuring bullets.  Have yet to find one single one less than .310 in diameter, including stuff I bought 20 years ago and TulAmmo that arrived last week.  I don't think the Russians even know how to produce a 7.62 projectile less than that diameter as they've beeen thinking  it meant .311 inches since 1891, contrary to us Americans.   People also get down on Russian .223.  I've shot a lot of that too and it performs wonderfully.  I'd put it up against Federal bulk any day accuracy-wise.   This has just been my experience.  Take it for what you will.
  8. I'm no expert on commerical M1 carbines but these should work just fine... http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=MM1C&name=15rd+Mil+Spec+.30cal+M1+Carbine+Magazines&groupid=4 http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=MM1C30&name=M1+Carbine+.30cal+30rd+Magazine&groupid=4   No reason they should not work in yours.   All I use are original GI mags but have heard these Korean manufactured mags are adequate. 
  9. Very nice rail and great price.   I also have one on my TGO build.
  10.   Don't let it bother you, a lot of people espouse opinions with no actual knowledge or experience.
  11.   The vast majority of it is made in a couple of Russian factories, that is if you're looking for the current production steel-cased stuff....TulaAmmo, Wolf,  Brown Bear, Golden Tiger, etc are some of the name brands but where they get their ammo seems to vary, sometimes often.  It's all about the same depending on whether you like laquer or poly coated cases.  AK's and SKS's will eat either with no problem.   They all claim to be non-corrosive.  Well, I learned that hard way that is not always the case.  I'd make it a habit to check your rifle out a couple of days after shooting (if you don't like to clean the second you get home) for signs of rust in the bore or gas tube.   To directly answer your question stay away from KSAP if you find any.  Comes in a white box with non-corrosive printed on it, it is in fact extremely corrosive, worst I've ever seen, at least the samples from two different lots I have are.  Unfortunately, it is excellent ammo, very accurate.  Hasn't been sold for a couple of years from the big web dealers but you can still find it at gunshows from time to time.  Cleaning after shooting corrosive ammo is not a big deal, just and extra step is involved, but it helps to know you need to take that step.
  12.   Reckon it'd work on the chipmunk labyrinth around my house?
  13.   If I wasn't in IE I would post the slap-my-head thing.
  14. I haven't seen any surplus 7.62x39 in a couple of years.  The last available was Bulgarian I believe and cost the same as new production.  I honestly don't think we'll ever see "surplus" ammo in that caliber again.   As far as current prices, that's the new norm.  A case of 1000 that cost $200 two years ago is now around $230. 
  15.   My CMT upper has the very slightest, I mean barely noticable, play with the lower.  Don't know if it's worth pulling the grip off to fool with trying to adjust it. 
  16.   With 1 cent tax stamps.
  17. Go to the appropriate Trading Post forum and click the "Start New Topic" button to the right just above the thread listings.
  18.   To get rid of annoying upper/lower receiver play.  If yours rattles when closed turn that screw just enough until it stops.
  19. That harkens back to the day.
  20. That's pretty freaking cool.
  21.   It doesn't "need" one as the threads are more or less the same, but why not use one?
  22. Also in today's school discipline outrage department....   http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/12/10/colorado-boy-6-suspended-accused-sexual-harassment-for-kissing-girl-on-cheek-148424908/?intcmp=latestnews   The people running the schools of this country have completely lost their minds.
  23.   ....and you think it's free money. 
  24. I've ordered from Omaha Steaks before.  Good products. Shipped quickly in dry ice.
  25.   Hell, I don't know.  It's been a while since I bought one.    I checked their website earlier today and they had 50 and 54" lengths for the seconds.  Get the 54".
