Nice score!!

You can buy factory and Hi-Cap mags HERE and HERE . I just ordered several of the 30 round mags from Dinzag.

Were there any firearm failures Barry?

Stories like those make me feel fortunate that all I have to do is drive 2 miles up the road to my families property where I have 200 acres all to myself.

I looked at one when I bought my Saiga rifle, so yes they are still importing them.

I asked a couple of my buddies from the trap club, and they asked around at the club, and nobody has experienced or heard of this?

I don't think you will be disappointed Pablo! This is for sure one of the best values out there as far as firearms go.

Well, I put 300 rounds through it today, will finish off the rest of the can tomorrow. I was really surprised at how solid this gun felt, going in I was really expecting it to be loose and sloppy like all the Romanian AK's I've fired before. Accuracy is acceptable for a WTSHTF gun at around 4" @ 100 yards, didn't measure it, just estimated. Didn't have one failure of any kind, worked flawlessly. I am seriously considering buying another one of these.

I picked this one up today, just field stripped and cleaned it. I plan on putting at least a spam can of ammo through it this weekend.

WOW, beauty is in the eye of the beholder i guess, I certainly would disagree with that statement! However my interest in this book is definitely piqued! any time frame when it will be released?

I want to say a Studebaker of some sort?

Can you tell us what car the young man gets?

I believe TimberSmith makes wood furniture for the Saiga. Personally, for a SHTF rifle, I would prefer synthetic to wood.

Pablo,you might consider a Saiga and some 30rd Surefire mags?

That is exactly what I was going to say. I never cared for Top Shot either. There are several "gun" shows I watch on The Outdoor Channel and The Sportsman Channel that I find much more informative and entertaining.

I have a model 512, very similar to the 510 except mine is tube fed. I am not aware of any issues with these rifles. Mine was passed down to me from my father, who bought it new when he was a teenager. It is still my go to squirrel gun, very accurate.

I have never heard of the receiver cracking on an 870 before, let alone on "several". I know quite a few trap guys from the local club and I will definitely ask them if they know of this happening.

It's black stainless Barry. I put a box through it this morning, ran fine no FTF's or anything. I am gonna run some of my handloads through it this weekend.

Thanks for the input guy's, Barry, I always enjoy reading your posts, I always pick up some good info. I picked up the gun this evening, not sure if it will be my carry gun or not, as I am a staunch revolver guy. The trigger is going to take some getting used to. Here are some pics: He even threw in a couple of holsters..

I read that article, also watched a couple Hickok45 videos already, thanks Wayne.

Any of you guy's own one or can give a first hand account? I have the opportunity to buy a used one at a really good price. I inspected it last evening and will likely pick it up from the guy today. I have done some reading, but wanted to get some more opinions.

I was thinking maybe a timing issue, but if it does not happen with snap caps or from dry firing then perhaps it is the ammo? I would try some different ammo first. I am assuming you have given the gun a thorough cleaning.
