Have stopped doing FFL transfers due to workload, have updated original post. I am still doing NFA transfers, and AK Parts Kit Builds/Saiga Conversions, plus some AR work etc.

How does she shoot?

Thanks. Test fired it this morning - shoots as good as it looks.

Looking at the shortages of ammo right now, and it's not quite TEOTWAWKN, gotta think long and hard about ammo choice when picking such a gun. .22lr suddenly gets attractive since it's cheap to stockpile and easy to transport, and widely available (usually), although perhaps not ideal for defending ...

http://dentontactical.com/img/TP2.jpg Started with a 7.62x39 Saiga rifle: * G2 trigger (polished) * Reused trigger guard (riveted back on) * Ironwood Birch Laminate Furniture with Shellac * Bullet Guide * Lower Handguard Retainer (not bolt-on) * New (surplus) Gas Block with Bayo lug * New FSB * New...

Good luck finding them right now at a realistic price - Saiga 12 is on Feisteins ban list, and I've just had one customer pay over $1k for an unconverted Saiga 5.45 rifle (I did the transfer for him, I wasn't the seller). Ones converted by the better known manufacturers like Tromix are highly covete...

5.56 and .223 are slightly different - a rifle chambered for 5.56mm can also fire .223, but a rifle marked .223 should not be used with 5.56 (5.56 is a slightly higher pressure round).

Be warned, it is virtually impossible to own just one AR - they tend to multiply when put in gun safes.

I built myself a A2 from a Sarco M16A2 parts kit a while back - without a doubt one of my all time favorite rifles.

"Long Range Toy" - the first thing that comes to mind is .50 BMG

Most of the manufacturers buy their lowers from a limited number of manufacturers (Aero Precision, Mega etc) - they have them made and stamped with their logo. Providing you have an in-spec lower (it is rare to find one that isn't), paying more for a bigger name in most cases means you are paying fo...

I've used a couple of them, they are GTG - no issues, good fit/finish. The ones I've used had FN barrels, not sure if all their uppers use them or not.

Black rifles (and parts) are getting harder to source across the board right now - not impossible, just harder. I do a lot of transfers, and saw things start to pick up around Feb, peak in April, then drop off a little around the start of May (a lot were tax refund buys) - most of my customers then ...

I'm tall and thin, started buying shirts/t-shirts one size bigger than normal, but that still wasn't enough to hide the grip when worn at 3-5 O'clock. For the last year or so I've been AIWB carrying (about 1 O'Clock). Not only is it the only place it conceals well on me, but it is also more comforta...
