Brief Q&A

• acquiring ffl c&r log book: Order it from Brownells.
• cheytac ca legal: As long as the rifle is SB23-compliant and not listed, sure. Since all the 408 Cheytac rifles I'm aware of are bolt action and well over 26" in overall length, it would be pretty hard to have an illegal 408 Cheytac rifle.
• saiga rifles,pronounce: Best way to find this out is to hit Youtube. The guys who work at the Saiga plant, do not pronounce it as "Say-gah". It's pronounced "Sigh-gah"
• u-15 stock for sks: The U-15 stock is only available for AR-15 rifles.
• bullet drift small vs large caliber: Drift is a function of wind speed, the bullet's aerodynamic coefficient, and velocity. Generally speaking, larger bullets drift less than smaller bullets when they're moving at the same speed, simply because they have more weight behind them. However, an aerodynamically smooth smaller bullet travelling at a higher velocity will drift far less than a slow-moving sledgehammer of a bullet, given the same amount of time in the air.
