I apologize for the translation. I own a gun Vepr-12 about five years. And I would like to say why my choice was not in favor of the Saiga 12. Vepr12 has a barrel of cold rotary forging, as Saiga - hot-forged barrel. Cold forging - it is more expensive and high-quality manufacturing process barrel of a gun. Hardening of the bolt is the normal technology at Vepr12. Saiga - this product for perverts who can not live without adventures on his ass, and still pay for that money. Izhevsk bungler product, made in violation of all processing technologies and hardening metal.

Stamped receiver made ​​by Hugo Schmeisser, when he worked at Izhmash. Carbine "Saiga" was made in 1974 to reduce the herd of antelope in Kazakhstan. Originally caliber carbine was 5.6X39. Hunting modification of the "Saiga" in Russia do not have the pistol grip. Sorry for the English.

Where can i get one or two? Edit for question: It's interchangeable for old model without modifications(bolt/gun)? Yes, new bolt head is full interchangeable for old bolt and bolt's frame.
