saiga 12

[2garfields]

Anyone has any experiences with one?

 

[Kid Presentable]

what would you like to know specifically? they are a lot of fun to shoot.

 

[2garfields]

Saw one the other day, would like to know how reliable is it?

 

[magoo]

I like my m12. I sent my out to have bolt redone and trigger done. For $65.00 feeds alot better. Loads better on close bolt.

 

[2garfields]

The one I saw does not has a pistol grip, is it something can be done easily, and especially legally in the state of MASS?

Speaking of Saiga 12's, MFL has some for sale based on their Facebook page.

 

[2garfields]

Hey thehoyt, do you have the link for MFL?

You can convert but a pistol grip would not be legal. You'd have to use a thumbhole stock of some sort. Out of the box S12's can be anywhere from totally reliable to needing some work to get them to function properly. There is a pretty good aftermarket for them though so you can find just about anything to dress it up differently or help with the reliability. Don't pay too much for one either. The prices had gone really crazy for them a while back but the buying frenzy has subsided some and you can still find some for decent prices if you look.

Wha is a reasonable price for a brand one these days, the one I saw was at $900 range.

I've seen price as high as $850 during the inventory shortage and ban scare, but the inventory for Saiga 12 seems to restore/recover. I have seen more vendors have saiga 12 in stock. Price is still as high as $800. If you can find a new one for $700'ish, I think it's a good price.

Go Green. There was one in the classifieds last week for $550.

I don't think it lasted very long.

 

[2garfields]

That one is sold.

I asked MFL on facebook but I don't see my post now. It was right after they said trust us. Now that's funny.

 

[drumenigma]

From here http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-505/SAIGA-12-IZ-dsh-109-19"/Detail $579 expected back in stock in a few days. I saw one at one of my favorite local stores listed for $999 not that long ago which is way over priced.

 

[2garfields]

Don't see any listing on MLF web site, am I missing something?

 

[2garfields]

At $579, that is a very good deal.

 

[magoo]

I paid $510.00 last year for mine.

Here's a new one for $615. Never heard of USSG, but they claim they are the same as the Arsenal. I'm no Saiga expert, so I really can't say.

[2garfields]

Is that a brand new design?

Is that a brand new design?

No.

"This is the same shotgun as the Arsenal Saiga and made at the exact same plant in Russia. It is now being imported by US Sporting Goods"

 

[SKS Ray]

I really doubt the sights are adjustable.

 

[2garfields]

Borrowed the pic from their web site, and this is what I am looking for. Hopefully it is legal in MASS

Not legal. You'd need to slap some furniture on it like this to be compliant. http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/2ADVMAK0100-1.html

Hi drumecnigma, can you explain it in more detail, I am a newbie in shotgun.

 

[590A1 Master]

In mass, semi shot guns can only have one "evil feature". Which include a pistol grip stock (like on an AR 15), a folding stock/ adjustable stock, a mag capacity beyond 5 rounds, forgip?, and having a removable magazine. (may be one or two that i forgot). So since it is factory imported with one evil feature (removable mag), then no other features can be added, legally. Which also makes ten round mags illegal for. Now you can get thumbhole stocks that are similar to that of a dragunov sniper rifle, but they are pretty over priced and i don't think they are very comfortable.
