Setting Up A Food Storage Pantry | Personal Liberty Digest. Mini 14 vs Saiga 7.62x39. I considered both and made the choice to get a saiga. For the reasons you mentioned. Reliability is my number 1 factor in choosing between two weapons. The most reliable wins every time. As you mentioned, its alot cheaper. its actually going for about 350 at several places now. I decided not to convert the saiga, but instead to install a custom vented railed forearm a side rail scope mount for a red dot, and a tapco t6 intrafuse pistol grip stock. Another thing that can be done, and I plan to do is install a bullet guide from dinzag arms. And another big plus is, its a true russian AK, made in Russia the izmash factory, qwhere kalishnakov still works. I'd wouldnt trade my saiga for anything else in 7.62x39. Homemade MREs. For quite a while now, I've wanted to make up my own "MREs" for my Get Home Bag (GHB). I was recently out scouting some properties, and realized that my GHB only had some packs of tuna and some candy in them.
I had broken my own Cardinal Rule - If you use it, replace it immediately. So, I went about making up some MRE packages. Now, these are not true MREs, in that their shelf life is less than half of the 5 years of a commercial MRE, but I figured they were WAY less expensive (remember this later on in the post...). I assembled my "ingredients" based on "Best By" date, calories and protein content. The idea was to put long-life food together and vacuum seal it in a FoodSaver bag. For my first MRE, here's what I included - Since the peanuts were loose, I wanted to separate them in the pouch. I then filled that with the peanuts and sealed it.
I then filled the bag with the rest of the goodies, and vacuum sealed the whole thing - Here are the stats - Here's the result - Times have changed! Get A Kit.
