Morning MFC.

Good to know. Have been looking at the at the SDN-6 because of the flexibility. I want to build a 300 Blackout SBR Upper along with an 18" 7.62. Already running a 5.56 16" right now. I figure the SDN-6 is a good all in one, although I know if I really want the full effect I'm going to have to get a dedicated 5.56 suppressor.

Good logic. Stay away from a dedicated 5.56 can unless you have every other caliber covered. I have all centerfire calibers covered with the SDN6 except big bore like .50 cals and .338.

I have all pistol calibers covered and all rimfire calibers covered as well. All with 3 cans. Only thing lacking is big bore and shotguns. (Lulz)

If I get more cans, it'll probably be a dedicated 9mm and an extra .22 can or two. THEN maybe a 5.56 dedicated. Maybe.

It's actually FDE, I just have a potato camera. I couldn't find an upper to match the shade of the lower/furniture so I painted one of my BCM's. For a first attempt it came pretty decent (I think).

oh sht looks green on my screen....mah bad

You have to be extremely careful when shooting HK pistols. If you don't control the recoil perfectly, you wind up hitting the mag release. They are 10/10 ergonomically, but I would much rather have my Glock in a self defense situation.

[DLM012]

wait, you bought an AK and aren't interested in steel cased ammo?

bro i have some bad news for you.

Funny story. I bought a metric chit ton of Red Army steel cased when I first got my AK but traded it to a local gun shop because I was unaware that steel cased isn't allowed at indoor ranges. There are no outdoor ranges where I live that aren't 2+ hours away and I have no land so it's pointless to buy.

I do have a friend that just moved and literally has acres but he lives with his dad so it'll be at his discretion if I can fire my firearms there. If so I'm buying tons of Red Army and Tula for my AK and Wolf for my AR

[Adarus]

you'd enjoy a converted saiga much more

Been seeing alot of people talking about converted saigas on here. Maybe I need to look into them more, just went with NPAP to start since a gun shop close to me has them. The only thing they have as far as a Saiga goes is:

http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/p....62x39mm+16%22

It was my understanding that the companies are the ones that do the conversions usually though. Is that not the case?

nah I thought it was OD too, lulz.

mag release is usually stiff as fook and if owner of short thumbs you'd have to break grip


mebe you mean slide release, but thats possible with most any handgun

Don't pay $600 for that Saiga unconverted... I paid $450 for mine, unless prices have skyrocketed... A lot of people do the conversions themselves though.

It's not the thumb that hits it, some people have an issue with part of the trigger finger hitting the mag release on HK's while shooting.

[bgill76]

I actually really did consider it since we live so close, but I'm honestly afraid I would get it in and fall in love with it and then not want to give it up. Know anybody that would want to buy a PSA upper?

What upper is it. I am looking for an upper along with a friend

[Adarus]

I wouldn't pay that for it. Prices may have went up but it looks more like Bud's is just upping the price since availability is low. The other store I go to as well hasn't had them in stock in a while but the last price they had was between $450-500. Roughly how much would you say the conversion ran you?

[Lawson45]

but how though? pressing trigger back vs pushing release down with enough pressure to drop the mag.

[nick911sc]

but how though? pressing trigger back vs pushing release down with enough pressure to drop the mag.

I can't really answer how, but I know multiple people who have this problem and have witnessed it first hand.

[gharlow]

This.

It's not really an issue at the range, but I wouldn't count on myself having perfect form in an emergency situation.

Edit: It happen if you don't perfectly control the recoil. If the muzzle flips up (even slightly), the mag release can hit the trigger finger. I've learned to control it, but it took a few months of regular practice. I should also note that my HK45 was my first handgun. I don't think it would happen now, but I'd still rather have one of my other guns in a self defense situation.

Weird. That would be hard to believe. My P2000SK has the "bigger" 45 ambi paddle on it and it still is tough to operate at times. Someone accidentally releasing the mag baffles me.

Depends on caliber and what you convert with. Tbh, I didnt add up the costs for my Saiga-12 conversion. Rather not know.

All imports typically have roller coaster prices because huge shipments come in at once, dry up, and repeat.

$475 would be my top dollar for unconverted.

[pep_meister]

any really awesome can't beat deals on a glock or potentially 1911? turning 21 in 8 days fellas.

[dunn101]

Someone aware me of where I can find a MOSIN in Canada, I can't find one ANYWHERE, I've checked every gun shop in my entire city. I live in Saskatchewan by the way.

Gonna needs some pics of the P2000SK.
Freakin' unicorn pistol in this state, do want.

[Goldbrah]

Surely these speeds can't be real...


Right?

lol....... yes. They're very real. Google Fiber is nice. Their competitor is actually working on getting an 800+ Mbps fiber network running in Lawrence where I live.





edit: here's a SpeedTest screenshot from the company who's installing the fiber network in Lawrence. It's not available to the public yet, but I can't wait until it is.

Jesus... Only $120 a month is crazy cheap for internet and cable. Wonder when it will be available where I live.
Edit: Psht - according to their website not for a loooong time. Guess I'm sticking with U Verse for now.

[DLM012]

I'm taking my friend to the range for the first time this Saturday. I only have an AR atm since I won't be able to comfortably afford that VEPR or underfolder for another month or two I think we can still have a good time though... I miss my AK so much and never even got the chance to shoot my 870 before selling it. F life expenses man srs. When will it be my turn for full time IT job?

I'll go over the operation of the rifle before we get there similar to what my uncle did with me and give him general safety tips. Any other suggestions?

Fiber is expanding right now in seemingly random places across the US. NY and other east coast states are supposedly in line to get it soon

Kansas City actually makes perfect sense to me in terms of the Google Fiber launch. Large metropolitan area, plenty of businesses who got on board, and there's a conservative local gov't who will (for the most part) keep their nose out of your business and their hands out of your pockets.

Hmm, never had this issue with my USP45. Was my first handgun too, but not the first one I'd shot, so maybe just an experience thing.

A lot of people think the reasoning behind it starting there is due to it being in the center of the US and they can branch out from there. It kinda makes sense. I think...? I should know considering this is my field of study at school lol
