Yea, we need a special place to keep those ugly pistols from messing up the main handgun forum. :) Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

That would be my guess as well. Since you said the troublesome rounds fit fine in a case gauge, that pretty much eliminates the rounds.

  Actually in this case, no they aren't making any more since the pistols were reported to be 5906's.  

I continue to like David Clarke and the way he tells it like it is. My fear is one day the left will find a way to silence him. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

That's what I use in mine. There are several schools of thoughts on using FMJ ammo rather than hollow ammo in order to get more penetration through thicker clothing in the winter time since the 380 is marginal in power.

To an untrained eye it looks like a regular Mosin,but this one shoots the rare 7.62x54 ammo. :) Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I wear a thin jersey glove with the finger tips cut out if I'm going to load a bunch of rounds.

I agree with Garufu, heat really works well to get cosmoline out of the stock. We have some test ovens where I work and I used a very low heat. It's unbelievable how much came out of the wood for several hours.

Sorry to hear about your accident.    Any chance of switching shooting hands?

Yep. Currency becomes guns, ammo, food, etc. Luxury items like liquor, coffee, etc. Some people think things like gold and silver become the currency, but that doesn't come until later when some form of civilization starts to be restored.

Good job and informative video. As others have said, you've stepped up your video quality. Not that your earlier ones were bad. I've always enjoyed them. On a different subject, what upper and lower is on the rifle? Nice looking rifle. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I'm with you, why take the chance when it wasn't your fault. It looks like they just stuck the rifle down in the box to rattle around. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

That all depends on who you ask. It made me laugh... :)

      au contraire.    If I'm not mistaken, nickel boron has more of a sliver tint than the gray frame in question.   In that case, I would agree that probably does look good since there would be some contrast between the slide and the frame.    My argument was based on the frame and slide in matching colors.        I can't believe I'm arguing the aesthetic attributes of a Glock.   Everyone knows there's no good way to make a Glock look good.   :)

Maybe they floated that info out just to see how much pushback there was to the news. Too much and they keep it in the product line. Not much and they go ahead and pull it. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I disagree. I think that would detract from the look.

W231 has been the powder I've used on 38 special loads. I guess I'll need to switch to something else. Any favorite recommendations for lead WC's and SWC's? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

In this particular case, it doesn't matter since the smell is the same...

Cool. I'm just a few years younger with mine. Best I remember, I got mine around 1985 and it's still going strong.

For most everyday situations it's more of, not which dangerous places am I going to choose to go into, it's a matter of which dangerous persons might interject themselves into the normally safe environments I choose to go into.

I generally carry two speed strips in a fabric pouch my MIL sewed for me. The tabs stick out the top and there is a divider in the middle. The rounds of one strip nest between the other strip so the thickness is less than two.

There's some Bullseye # 5 on your side of the state in the classifieds if you happen to need that powder.

Was that longer than six months ago? If not, you still have time.

Pretty neat. Is the aluminum piece on the left for the scales or something else? Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

  You have that backwards.    Once you start modiying an import like a Saiga, it can have no more than 10 foreign made parts (out of the 20 parts that count).       Dolomite linked the best site to figure out your count in post #9 to help you out.      I also agree with his statement that you are likely already compliant and should remain that way as long as you continue to add US parts.    It appears you purchased a US converted Saiga so if the "manufacturer" knew what they were doing, they would have added US parts.   Assuming they are all US added parts, you are well inside compliance.      As he mentioned, the Tapco gains you (3) parts.    A US made magazine gains you (3) parts as well.   The fact they sold you a molded magazine leads me to believe the receiver hasn't been modified to accept AK magazines.
