First Kalashnikov, a Saiga 7.62 x39. Bought it all factory with a couple mags and some loose ammo from my father in law for a screaming deal (prices have been going up since the President's Russian sanctions in December, already the Saigas are getting thin on the ground.) All stock: Modified: Carolina Shooter Supplies PG conversion with a Tapco G2 FCG, Magpul pistol grip, Phoenix Warsaw length stock, Tromix bolt handle, CSS bullet guide and modified mag catch to use AK mags. Not going for an "authentic" AK with wood furniture or a tactical look, just a simple and modern Kalashnikov with synthetic furniture. May tiger stripe the furniture in OD, we'll see. Any other AK variants here? I know the AR's are more popular. Personally, I like the Saiga. It's a bit heavier, built like a damned dump truck, but can't beat the build quality of the stuff coming out of Izhmash's factory.

Funny you mention Wounded Warrior: Some years back, I worked at a FBO/Fixed Base Operator doing private aviation fueling and ground handling. We hosted an event out there, I met the local guys from WW, and I later emailed them offering to volunteer my time and get involved. I explained that I could not afford to make a monetary contribution (was working through college) but that I was a veteran and would like to assist them in local events. Basically, they said "Thanks, but we really just want you to donate money." After that, I pretty much blew them off. Just rubbed me the wrong way that they seamed more interested in bleeding people for money than in helping vets.

Dem Goddamned Newbs!!! Like twice a week somebody shows up, posts in EVERY wrong ass section begging/bitching for enclosure designs. What's wrong with just introducing yourself, chilling out, and warming up to the place before you start hitting everyone up for free help??? Am I the only one that thinks forum courtesy is freaking dead???

Sa12 box question

Gotta know something about it to make a judgement. This'll help though: 1. Outside dimensions. Also need to know if any or all faces of the box are double layered. 2. Need to know the port dimensions, and also if any of the faces of the port share a common wall with the box (ie, is one of the port's four sides made by the outside box panel) That'll at least let us look at what your gross/net airspace is and figure out the port area and tuning. Without those four bits of info no intelligent conversation can be had about whether or not that box will do shit for an SA12. -

Well, spit out the box specs and perhaps we can give a comment. All I know so far is "strange box". Net airspace, port area, tuning frequency.
