kel tec is coming out with a .308 bullpup that look sweet.

I've been kickin this idea around for a while and between this forum, sksboards and surplusrifles.com have come to the conclusion that if your going to do it the drill and tap is the only real way, with the scout option a close second. I just dont think I would like it that far from my face...

I didnt know the batteries would last that long in an aimpoint. Is that for all new models? I'll have to check into those. I looked at the pk-as, it looks pretty nice. I'll have to research both of those, thanks.

if it was me I'd shop around a little bit. If you cant find a Russian or Alby for a better deal I'd get the Alby for 400, they are harder to come by. Then save up and get a yugo shooter later. Of course you could probably shoot the Alby a little too. :)

Hey, I have a sks paratrooper, one with the slightly canted sights. I can hit a 8" plate with it at 50-75 yds ok. But I really want to drill and tap a choate scope mount on it and put a cqb type sight on it for quick aquisition. But I'm looking for something with little to no magnification that...

hey guys, nice debate ya'll got going on, didnt mean to start something. :o I started sanding the grips, and its shaping up nicely. Those are some nice pics smokin_gun posted, I like the look of all of those. As the brass gets shiny on some spots of mine and with it having the carved...

geez George, you do sound like an old fart!;) (reference to earlier post ;) ) Thanks for advice though. I think I'm still a good ways away from finishing, this thing is pretty rough around the edges. I guess it would be a good idea to go ahead and get the rest of the stuff and see how it...

thanks everyone well after some consideration I decided to work on the wedge. I got it to fit and the pistol functions pretty good. It worked flawlessy unitil I took it all apart to see if I did something wrong, before I posted this question. I put it back together and it still works but every...

Hey, alright I took some pics: w/owedge w/ wedge You can see that the cylinder is pretty much up agains the barrel. I should have put something white behind the frame window, but I think you can see that the front of the arbor is not lined up with the window. The wedge...

smokin_gun Made by CVA, I think its like this one: The second one down on this page: http://possibleshop.com/kit-cap-ball.htm Except mine didnt come with any blue parts, I got it about 10+ years ago as a gift. I was able to get it fully assembled/timed except for the wedge and the...

thanks all for the replies, sorry I couldnt reply back sooner. I think gmtaov has described my problem (better than I did, doh!). The wedge is getting hung up on the inside of the frame. And I can see that there is probably more than 1/6" of the arbor in the front of the frame window. The wedge...

I'm trying to finish this pistol and I cant get the barrel wedge in. It goes almost all the way through then it cants to the side and wont come out the other end. Do I need to remove some material off the barrel? The instructions for this are a little vague to me in the booklet. Forum search...

thanks for the replies, thats what I needed. the brass is pretty rough, so i will probably have to hit it with the sandpaper or I like the idea of getting a dremel polishing kit too ;) thanks

Hey, new member to the board. I have a CVA .44 Navy revolver that I have been building from a kit for about, oh 13 years now, doh! Its been almost done for most of that time. Have one more piece to put in, the barrel retainer I think its called. I have some cold blue and should be able to work...
