Tapco 20 round SKS magazines are quite popular, despite not working in an SKS. I read many bad reviews and watched a few videos and saw not good things. I also decided it was nothing a dremel tool could not fix. That was mostly right. I have an original stock 1951 Soviet model. The stock magazine well is smaller than the Tapco magazine. And the front at the base of the what people call the duck bill needs to have material removed.
And the follower is incorrect in that feeding and ejecting are difficult. Despite videos on youtube of somebody getting it to work. I too got it to fit and work. I think a steel one would work better if built correctly.

Just FYI....Walmart has Perfecta Brass .308 and 9mm for $6.94 a box, not all areas have it though, .233 is $8 a box of 50.
Bought 20 boxes of .308...$153 out the door for 400 rounds of brass? Yes please...then picked up 10 boxes of 9mm for $70 out the door...500 rounds of brass 9mm....give me another.

Do you use the website armslist.com? You can select your state and private seller. There are quite a few GI models which are no longer produced by Springfield. They sometimes show up when you use the term mil-spec. And when they say GI, they mean it including sights. But that is not the purpose of the 1911. Cheaperthandirt utilizes several warehouse sellers increasing your chance of finding one.

Strange as it may seem, nobody has challenged the illegal statutory laws including the ones violating the second amendment. Until now. I am still surprised at the Heller decision. I am surprised because they got it right. And now the other grossly illegal ones like the NFA and the amendment in 1986 has been challenged. The $200 stamp is unconstitutional by the letter and case law, as voting taxes were struck down a long time ago. The voting taxes were brought out to stop people from voting which is a right.
Same thing with the $200 stamp. The correct ruling should be a refund paid out by all who supported the illegal law, but I won't hold my breath. But it should get struck down. It is only in the last couple of months that these motions have been filed. I would not be surprised if it takes a long time just like with Heller.
Here is a summary in pdf of the actions being taken now.
The other big one is 1986 and my beloved Reagan's greatest failure. When it is reversed, watch those absurd prices fall and laugh at those that paid $20k for a sear.
I do frequent Armslist as well as many other gun classifieds and forums. I finally picked up a 1911 it's a para expert government size in .45. Installed some magpul od green moe grips that match my ar and an extended slide release. Ran about 100 rounds through it and so far flawless

The removal of the $200 stamp would be the final push I need to motivate myself to pony up the cash for a few suppressors/silencers. With the stamp I still think it's a worthwhile investment. Without the stamp it's a no-brainer for me.
I had no idea it was even on the table to discuss the removal of that. I'll have to watch how that progresses.
Think of it as a voting tax passed keeping the lower income people from the polls. The whole NFA is grossly illegal. Then again, so is Romneycare/Obamacare.
Much of it, yes. They have no authority to do the checkpoints they do, and not just in the airports. No unreasonable search or seizure. Speaking of which, DUI sobriety checkpoints are also highly illegal. Not that I would suggest getting tanked down at your favorite watering hole and driving home.suprarx7nut;2045472 said:
Surpressors are extremely over priced. You can make one for much cheaper although you still need your tax stamp
I love the magpul stuff. Just got a ms3 magpul sling in od green too. It's awesome can be one point or two point and you can adjust the length with one hand

Some are, yes. I think that's mostly because of the tax stamp though. The tax stamp does two things:
1. Makes it more expensive overall. Since there's already a $200 entrance fee into the silencer game (of which the manufacturers have zero control) the costs of the purchase are already inflated.
2. Takes considerable time and effort. You have to really WANT a suppressor to get one right now. If you're going to spend hours on paperwork and legal stuff you obviously have a very serious interest and a few hundred $$ extra won't deter you.
If the tax stamp goes away that entire market will evolve. You'd have the ability to buy them for a lot less because manufacturers could cater their offerings to a new crowd - the average gun owner. And the average person (gun owner or not) is a cheap motherfu....
The illegal hand gun law was overturned, it just took decades to do it. The other infringements might fall faster if we are lucky. Don't hold your breath.
Hey suprayo, I'm going to be trying out some new ammo up Rashford Spur Saturday morning. If you're not too busy, it'd be cool to see you there.
Edit: I've been in the desert all week. Forgot how much it rains here.

They are. The only ones I would consider are in the $1400 range without the stamp. That is Wilson Combat and Sure Fire quick attach.
