Garufa. you are scaring me is the 1999 stamped Bulgarian more corrosive that the yugo m67?
-
I'm like you Mike. . why. . .why. . .why? I guess the $129.99 at SG for 520 aint bad considering the current climate. . I'm wantin to put in some serious time and get "right" with my Poly. . but I dont to crack those Bulgarian cans I want to keep those in case something really drastic happens. . .I just checked SG no longer has it now says. . notify when back in stock. . .wow. . .I dont know how much they started with but its only been on their site for about a week. . I noticed Classic Arms still shows it as in stock on their order page so I went ahead an ordered a 700 round can. . their shipping is a little high. .was $25.00 for a 35 lb can from NC to TN but it appears to be the best option

I miss that yugo at AIM. . Ive got about 500 rounds of it left counting whats loaded in mags. .heres to hope. . .I gave more for the Bulgarian than I wanted to when I got it from AIM but heck I was afraid not to get it. .I'll shoot the steel cased stuff. .I compare it to make out with an ugly woman. . it'll work but it just dont just quite hit the spot and you damn sure dont want your friends to see you doing it. . lol. . But 27 cents a round is crazy for steel cased. I'd hate to think Id have to sell my Polytech to get an AR because the ammo's cheaper. . crazy times. .

Is it me or is the brass cased 7.62x39 surplus drying up. . I know its an election year and all. . but theres hardly any yugo m67 left (sgammo has some but $129.99 for 520 rounds is higher than groceries to me). . the Bulgarian seems to have all dried up too. .AIM been out for a while and I noticed Classic Arms doesnt have it on their website anymore. Is there somewhere to check that I'm missing? I'm not hurting I've got 1400 rounds of the Bulgarian a little of the yugo left and about 1000 rounds of steel cased stuff but I'd like to rathole a little more. . .

I too accept the concept of evil. .why?... Because it is all around. . some blatant. . some subtle. . .But maybe I'm wrong maybe all Adolf Hitler really needed was a Zoloft and a hug. . I'm sorry for being trite but if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck. . guess what. . its a duck. And if it does evil things its an evil duck. . and if science comes up with an "evil test". . and it says the duck in question that has been doing evil things is indeed not evil. .I will still say that was an evil duck. So worry, cause unlike 6.8 above me I don't mind one bit bringing a mans relationship with his maker into it . .and its not complicated. . "judge a tree by its fruit". . Now take those seven deadly sins he mentioned they are all about me. .me. .me. .me. .me. .me. .me. .me. .(sorry was counting the me's making sure there were 7 lol). .Here I go again. ."If you love me. . feed my sheep" and "No greater love is this. .that a man lay down his life for his friends". .if the duck plays nice and thinks about others and maybe does some unselfish things its becoming a less evil duck and with a little devine help might become a useful duck. My goodness, the smarter we start thinking we are and the higher we think of ourselves. . the sillier the stuff that we come up with. . .Sorry I'm done. .

Gen 4 Glock 26 in a desantis nemesis. . I recently got a IWB Fobus. . but I havent tried it yet. . .
-
I had never owned a Glock before I got my Gen 4 Glock 26 a few months ago. . I dont know anything about any other Glock but mine. . but if I loved my Glock anymore than I do right now I would have to write a Dear Penthouse Forum letter about it. . I did put a set of meprolights on it and added the Pierce extentions to the 3 mags. . not missed a beat through about 600 rounds or so. . I just slip it into a Desantis Nemesis pocket holster. . and away we go. .two stalwart friends on a whirlwind adventure. . just like Shrek And Donkey. .

I had a mini 14 once for about 2 weeks about 20 years ago. . I cant see me ever selling my Polytech sidefolder AKS but if I ever did I would entertain a mini 30 or mini 14 before an AR. . I cant think of a single advantage the AR has over a mini for the average gun owner. . I remember somones Avatar has something like "the mini 14. . . all the noise of an AR without the complications". . from what Ive been exposed to. . sounds about right to me. . .

More power to them the more they can get for their AK's the more I can justify my Preban Poly tech being worth. . .

Well ive owned 2 an egyptian maadi arm that i was very satisfied with....then i got a preban polytech aks 762 galil sidefolder....the trigger on the chicom (double hook) is much smoother and as crisp as a pringles potsto chip...the internals on the poly are much heavier and the barrel and trunion is much heavier and i did find it to be more accurate especially when very hot...and certainly fit and finsh cleaner on the chicom...the thicker 1.6 mm receiver on the poly i think adds to better accuracy as well

Yes I have. . its almost comical. .you're certainly right about the Israelis. .course they are known for that. .I bet they could make a sling work. .oh thats right they already did. .

I love how the French MAS and the Chauchat were referenced so quickly. .only the military savants that brought the world The Maginot Line could produce such effective hardware. . "Oui Oui Pierre. .those pesky Germans will never try to take our truffles again! Oh, merci Jean-Claude. . Im sure they will never figure out you can just drive around this thing. . now give me a big kiss. . "

I feel I think its safe to say the cat is out of the bag. . . they are a great bunch to deal with. . fair prices for product and shipping. . no bee-bop no bull-. . there site is user friendly. . and you dont have to send them a copy of your drivers license and a DNA sample or a picture of your mom to buy ammo from them. . good times. . good times
-
I told ya. . I havent bought any ammo from anybody else since I discovered them. . .(except my surplus yugo m67 from AIM. . but thats just because they dont have it). . .

Ive never had one of these. . but Ive held and shot a few that various friends have had through the years ( I seem to be a magnet for pistol caliber carbine comparison since Ive owned a Ruger PC 9 since the late 90's). . these little hi points remind me of the ugly girl that you may or may not have kissed on the playground in the 7th grade. .she aint no prom queen. . she may not be the one you want to marry. .but it was still fun and she aint a bad ole gal. . you just dont want to let your friends catch you doin' it. .

Unfortunately there has never been a "drop in' replacement aftermarket stock of any kind made for the PC's. Since the trigger group housing is actually part of the factory stock there never will be. . However I have seen 2 PC 9s with choate sidefolder stocks grafted onto a factory stock PC 9 that was cut right behind the trigger group housing. Both examples I saw looked pretty good but I would never do that to mine. I saw one on the internet. . the other may still be at Farnsworth Firearms in Vonore TN. . I noticed it down there a couple of months ago when I was there. .I actually picked it up. . it made it feel a little front end heavy Just like you I thought a folding stock would be a great addition . . but eventually I became satisfied with the knowledge that I could use the factory stock to beat a door open. .bust a car window out. . or even beat a rabid gorilla to death should any situation of these or similar ilk ever crop up. . and never worry about it leaving a mark. . much less causing function failure.

Where To Find Winchester Ranger T-Series?
turkeydad replied to wcsc12's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Im gonna have to disagree. . sgammo.com has them beat. . .and their shipping is very fast and reasonable. . I bought a 1000 rounds of 9bple and the shipping was $16.00. . shipping on a case of 9mm at Ammunition to go was $19.64 50rd - 9mm Winchester Ranger 127gr +P+ T-Series RA9TA | SGAmmo.com -
Well you know how "value" is so subjective. . but considering wasr 10's can be had new for $425.00. . and the general consensus that in most circles that I run in SAR-1's are maybe $75.00 to $100.00 more. . .maybe less maybe more. Then take off maybe 20% for gently used (assuming thats the case) Id say a nice fair number would be in the $400.00 range. Some people might pay more but considering I have seen Mak 90's sell on this forum not too long ago for $500 to $600 I wouldnt want to have anymore in it myself. . .

I am an AK guy. . Ive owned 2 Maadi's one Norinco Mak 90 and my current AK is a preban Polytech sidefolder. . but Im not a Romanian efficianado for sure. . but my understanding that the Wasr 10 and Sar-1 are pretty much the same except that a Wasr 10 was originally manufactured to accept low capacity 10 round mags and later the magwell was opened up to accept hi-caps often having excessive wobble etc..to me they are both just garden variety low end AK's..all will work but fit and finish may be poor and I would certainly check for canted sight block and poorly fitted trunion on both. . Neither is going to have a heavy barrel. . heavy internals. . spring loaded firing pin. . thicker (1.6mm) receiver or the fit, finish and accuracy of a Polytech. .but in my opinion a well fitted sar-1 (or even Wasr10 once again if well fitted) wouldnt perform much different than a garden variety saiga. .maadi (not misr 10 or misr 90. .these are the worst) or any other 1mm thick stamped AK of average quality. . as far as telling them apart. .the Sar 1 would have a "depression" in the front of the magwell that aids in mag insertion that the Wasr would not have. Im sure there are production or import stampings that differ between the two but I dont know the specifics. .
