Does that red thing on your Romainian trigger do a good job from keeping the "trigger slap" down?

Greg - no cure but it does help some. Without it after a 30 round mag I can feel some significant discomfort - with that it is just an annoying slight whack each time.

All that is is a short length of 6mm industrial silicon tubing - similar i guess to surgical tubing. I'd like to either mod' the trigger or even better get a Tapco unit.

jar - complement much appreciated re the pics - I always hope they will be pleasing to the eye.

It looks like your rifle has the same finish as my old Romanian

. I had a similar setup also. Except I had an UltiMak scout mount w/h a Millet red dot, and a rubber extension on my stock.

What rubber extension Greg? - I could do with lengthening this one - they are so short when it comes to conventional in the shoulder shooting.

You guys are crazy. The short stock is the best part!

Might be for you Euc but hey - I am broad up top - and have somewhat apelike long arms (shhh, don't tell Bruce!) - and so find many longarms just too danged short. My 12G SxS shottie has 2" added!!!

Just ribbing ya a little Chris - I agree it could stand to be a little longer, but to my eyes, a combat/service rifle should fit almost anybody. You can improvise if the stock is too short more easily than you can if it's too long.

SKS - least amount of money ($150-200?), but non-detachable magazine and not real accurate, but reliable. 7.62x39

AK - a little more than the SKS ($350?), but detachable mags. 7.62x39

M1 Garand - pretty darn accurate, but heavy and 8 round clips of 30-06 (about $200 cheaper through DCM/CMP than on open market)

M1A - semi auto version of M14, detachable mag version of M1 Garand in 7.62x51 (military version of 308).

FAL - an adjustable gas system and detachable mags, comes in two flavors, metric and english. 7.62x51 (military version of 308)

AR's - most accurate, most sensitive to being dirty, very customizable, most common caliber is 5.56.

P95Carry, can't you order a TAPCO 2-loop trigger assembly and simply dremel out another slot in the bottom of the reciever. I believe that would solve the problem.

Ryan - yes I do plan to do a tweak - just that I only really remember every time I take the gun out!!! In between, other things sorta distract me.

One day it should happen but - don't hold your breath - I am a terrible procrastinator

Me too! I've always liked the M1 Garand but have had too many other things I want. From what I've heard most civilians won't ever put their AR-15 through enough to cause malfunctions. But it would be nice to know your weapon will always function, thats why I like GLOCKs so much. At combat ranges I think the AK will do just fine.
