I just ordered mine from Midway...thanks for that,

That makes a little sense now. . I thought you had the 14" shockwave like I have. The 14 inch has the shorter 5 round tub tube sso the ones you returned should work correctly on mine. Since you have the longer barrel you have the longer tube and need the 590 version, TL Racker needs to clean that fitment guide up a little. Did you use an AR wrench this time?

I about to order one with the tool for $18.50 to remove the nut the other day from GG&G, I mean in cart bout to enter the credit card number and I held off. I'm really curious too. GG&G makes a big fuss about the 500/590 and the Shockwave being different.

Yep. . just for giggles I looked at the link 5 minutes after you posted. . as I was curious what was elite about it. . .and it was already out.

Thats probably as good of a price as you will find to get that much at one time. Its hard to believe I bought that same case at Palmetto State Armory for $169.00 before shipping less than 2 years ago.

I hear ya. . I know this is a subjective question, but how many is "enough". I would be curious to hear what everybody else says on long guns. I have 2 AR's and 30 30 round magazines for the 2. I just got an AK and got a total of 15 30 round magazines for it. Just curious to what everyone thinks is "enough".

Just show up looking like Carl in your avatar. . that would be plenty. The only thing about football I miss is "Carls Stone Cold Lock of the Century of the Week". . those were awesome.

There will be a bill or even multiple bills that will get traction. But it will be more moderate than this, it's the moderate bills that scare me.

No comments or agreements needed. . I am the Cyrano De Bergerac of the anatomical wood shed. . hauling a$$ always requires at least 3 trips.

Sounds like functional socialism to me. . .

Pretty much, no cosponsors, this has as much chance of passing as my big butt has at winning a marathon.

Will do. .

I looked for surplus mags. . not a lot out there right now in stock that I could find other than Korean or Croation mags and I was not really too keen on those. I bought a dozen of the Magpul $13.99 non gen 3. I expect they should be alright.

Does anyone have any personal experience with Magpul AK mags? I noticed a huge price difference in the "gen 3"ones with the metal locking tab. But internet scuttle doesn't seem to be to be too harsh on the earlier style with just polymer. They both just have polymer feedlips. My only experience with AK mags were the chinese flatbacks which were always good to go back when I had them and my Poly Tech. Thanks

I have the XS big dot on my Shock Wave and I like it a lot. Just jumps on target and is more accurate than I thought it would be. Also, I don't think I would worry too much about the barrel thing. When you install you remove your threaded bead then install the threaded bead that comes with it with just a dot of blue loc-tite. Then you epoxy the XS big dot to the bead. Should you ever want to take it off I think the bead would come off pretty good with heat by turning the sight, but I could be wrong.

It ain't great but probably as good as you are going to get anytime soon. . . https://www.targetsportsusa.com/red-army-standard-7-62-39mm-ammo-122-grain-fmj-steel-case-am3092-p-110331.aspx

I'll hit some somewhere sooner or later. . I pretty much only buy and sell from individuals on TGO.

I have the AK bug...but I'm not going to get one until I secure some ammo. This morning Target sports had 640 round spam cans of Red Army Standard polymer 7.62x39 for .40 cents per round shipped 55 available. I put 4 in cart but had no account there..in the three minutes it took to create the account and get the activation email it was all gone...wow

No, I didn't have a 5/32" punch its coming today. Should get to do it this evening or tomorrow evening

That is crazy. . when I bought my shockwave I bought a 250 round case of Federal LE low recoil flight control wad 00 buck and a 250 round case of federal Le low recoil rifled slugs slugs for right at $365 shipped in late 2018 at SG Ammo, granted that was before they started collecting sales tax as well. . but still thats crazy.

I know all ammo is high but is no name 00 buck that high too..

I hear you...I have two AR's both are Palmetto State. One is built on a complete MOE lower that came with the SSA-E already installed ( I bought it a few years ago on a black friday sale for $249) and man I could sure tell the difference between that one and the other that is just their standard mil spec trigger. I picked this one up on sale for $179, I'm sure there are probably better values but I wanted both to have the same trigger.

Anybody done one of these before? I am fairly new to ARs and would love to hear any advice before I tear into this. I believe there is an installation video on you tube I'm going check out. But, I thought I might ask if any of the intelligent folks here that may have experience for any tips or things to be wary of. Thanks for the time.

Here's mine...part of me wants one of those binary triggers and the other part says ammo goes too fast at one at a time.

I expect a few executive actions pretty much right off the bat, targeting importation of firearms and ammo, both have been done before and is the easy low hanging fruit for Biden. And considering todays market its the easiest way to do the most damage while making the least waves.
