Why are all the multi caliber adapters around 3"? Could you (somebody), make adapters that were maybe 12" long? Seems it would solve the accuracy and velocity issues so many complain about with those adapters. View Quote http://www.gunadapters.com/pathfinder-line-with-dave-canterbury/ |

whats going on with the forearm here? View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:
whats going on with the forearm here? It's a homebrew. I got a hell of a deal on this thing but the stock was caked with black paint and it had a ratty plastic forend, so I made this one out of a shattered mauser stock I had laying in the junk bin. I used the back end of the plastic forearm for the part that goes against the receiver. I stripped the paint off the stock and straightened it out into an English style. Even though it's a beater, I think it looks better this way. |

If you take the forearm off and close the barrel it should lock up tight, it is all in that front main pin. If it is loose then that pin is damaged or the receiver stretched at some point. The plastic spacer has no bearing. |

Anyone know about the Baival baikal 18EM-M? There is one that is barely within what I'm willing to drive.... they are asking $129, although I'd call and ask if they'd take less before heading out there.

View Quote Typical sturdy Russian hardware. Not terribly refined, but strong like bull. Some of them have a chromed bore, which might make for some difficulty if you want to have it bored for choke tubes after shortening. Parts obviously will be scarce relative to the domestic guns. Wood is likely to be Russian birch, which is like babushka: is made for strong, not for pretty. Pricewise it seems reasonable. |

This place has the 18EM-M and an H&R topper, but it's and hour and a half away..... I'm thinking about calling them up tomorrow and offering $200 for both, $15 in sales tax and probably about $20 for gas.... total of $235 invested for the two if they go for it, what's the hive think? Is it worth the 3 hour round trip.... they both look to be in pretty good condition

View Quote I have a Baikal IJ-43 side by side that I picked up around 1995. I use it for hunting areas like talus slopes where there is a decent possibility of damaging a gun. It has been a solid, steady performer. It won't win any beauty contests, but is built like a tank and I have no problem getting the birds. I would have no hesitation about getting one. Just know it is the pickup truck of shotguns and not a Corvette. |

this one has been a work in progress since 2012, a backburner project you might say, i first spotted an initial creation on silencertalk, I want to say his name was Enfield007, and he had taken an Enfield 303 barrel and adapted it to the shotgun and then threaded the suppressor to the shotgun barrel itself. he sent me some photos to help me with my version of it. now sit back and imagine my monster of a creation.... a single shot 12 gauge. Chopped to an 18.5 barrel. Then sleeved with an shortened 20' green mountain AK47 barrel blank that was machined to match the contours of the 12ga barrel including the chamber and shell profile, and threaded 1/2-28 for suppressor use. all that work was done by eastTXhunter here on ARFCOM, which I do highly recommend for great gunsmith work. Now that suppressor is a full titanium tube and end caps from SD Tactical, with hand formed and machined baffles made by yours truly and that the suppressor was originally intended for my 32acp CZ Skorpion that's soon to be wire folding stock SBR . That barrel is now sent out to the ancient master gunsmith who was found only after hours of Internet research and hasn't touched his website in probably 10 years aka John Taylor of Taylor Machine (http://www.johntaylormachine.com/ ). He then chambers the barrel blank for 32acp and hand machines a new shell ejector to slide under the round and eject it like a stock shell out of spring steel. It'll most likely get a custom machined rail for mounting an optic and the all be salt nitride / melonite coated for complete corrosion resistance, but im also probably going to install a fiber optic sight for the times that I don't want to use the suppressor. it hasn't been the most cost effective weapon as im probably $300 into this minus the can, but its going to be one hell of a gun once im done <a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/user/fullfoot/media/gunphotos/32acp/67ac18122ff3323a209431856727e1a3_zpsbuokrdwa.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/fullfoot/gunphotos/32acp/67ac18122ff3323a209431856727e1a3_zpsbuokrdwa.jpg</a> original shell ejector installed before the the insert was machined for a 32acp specific ejector <a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/user/fullfoot/media/gunphotos/32acp/1d4fd8cf9527378a28ebac135471d4a2_zps3rbf1efi.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/fullfoot/gunphotos/32acp/1d4fd8cf9527378a28ebac135471d4a2_zps3rbf1efi.jpg</a> <a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/user/fullfoot/media/gunphotos/32acp/b77b4670237b71fadfaeded0aad90346_zpszkmwhw62.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/fullfoot/gunphotos/32acp/b77b4670237b71fadfaeded0aad90346_zpszkmwhw62.jpg</a> <a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/user/fullfoot/media/gunphotos/32acp/IMG_9205_zpsa3ugpwtg.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/fullfoot/gunphotos/32acp/IMG_9205_zpsa3ugpwtg.jpg</a> <a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/user/fullfoot/media/gunphotos/32acp/IMG_9205_zpsxl2g0aho.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/fullfoot/gunphotos/32acp/IMG_9205_zpsxl2g0aho.jpg</a> <a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/user/fullfoot/media/gunphotos/32acp/IMG_9207_zpsytvdissz.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/fullfoot/gunphotos/32acp/IMG_9207_zpsytvdissz.jpg</a> <a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/user/fullfoot/media/gunphotos/32acp/IMG_9208_zpscmb4ofhn.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/fullfoot/gunphotos/32acp/IMG_9208_zpscmb4ofhn.jpg</a> <a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/user/fullfoot/media/gunphotos/32acp/IMG_9203_zpsqf61lopb.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/fullfoot/gunphotos/32acp/IMG_9203_zpsqf61lopb.jpg</a> <a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/user/fullfoot/media/gunphotos/32acp/IMG_9209_zpswzjm5083.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/fullfoot/gunphotos/32acp/IMG_9209_zpswzjm5083.jpg</a> the original 32acp shotgun from the user over at silencertalk, he was based overseas so gun laws differ <a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/user/fullfoot/media/gunphotos/32acp/9eb3ed0c1bdaed058ff48e9f9e6a3f13_zpsb2ypqcur.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/fullfoot/gunphotos/32acp/9eb3ed0c1bdaed058ff48e9f9e6a3f13_zpsb2ypqcur.jpg</a> <a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/user/fullfoot/media/gunphotos/32acp/94755cf09d095d46f03969314c02c2a8_zpsgehemwmj.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/fullfoot/gunphotos/32acp/94755cf09d095d46f03969314c02c2a8_zpsgehemwmj.jpg</a> View Quote WANT! |

Does anyone know if it's difficult to cut / chop a O/U shotgun? View Quote It depends on how the two barrels are attached to one another. I personally wouldn't hack an over under unless your going to do or have it done professionally. Some O/U are rare, sought after, and expensive. |

The best way to cut a double or O/U is with a water cooled saw. No clue what to expect when you cut a Condor but I would set my expectations low. Don't be surprised if you destroy it in the process.
