SAIGA-Genesis

You are awesome.

I did see this thread awhile back, I'd be interested in a couple as well if they are still available.

I thought that was a real movie at first. O_O Really cool, man. I didn't even know you folks in France were even allowed to have these types of weapons, let alone still in semi-automatic form unlike the English. Was that a trigger lock I saw in the beginning? In Greece, you can't own anything in semi-auto and shotguns need to have a block in them that only allows a max load of 3 rounds. Pretty lame stuff.

My Wally World has Remington for $24/box.

You bought a real, factory ready-to-go Saiga? Are you in Russia? *drools* Most people here consider that stock to be one of the best, if not the best for the platform. I don't really know if any other stocks are available to work with that folding system (unless you want the American-made clone of it from Arsenal). Hide before BigSal reads your post.

That's the way I went with mine; the index pin was pretty simple to make. I was too afraid to put it on, though (was going to change the gas tube at the same time). The only kicker with AKPartskits is their shipping, for me at least, was $14... A bit much for such a small piece of metal.

I too am in the Land of the F.O.I.D.. Where do you go shooting at?

It's a single rail (Though ultimak makes a lower tri-rail that works with it). The difference between the Ultimak and others, though, is that it's not only solid aluminum, but it replaces the stock gas tube so the weight addition to the rifle is minimal. The UTG is aluminum, but a heavy addition; the Surefire is plastic and pretty light, but it doesn't have the strength and durability of aluminum. Also, you can co-witness a micro-dot with the iron sights if you use an Ultimak. That way if the optic fails, you can still use the iron sights through the optic. I own a UTG rail that I'm proba

The bigger offense in my mind is their complete silence since post #2. If they decided not to have a sale, they could have said, "Sorry, guys, we won't be having a sale that day after all." Their silence is completely inexplicable and frankly, inexcusable. They might want to consider hiring some decent people to handle their public/customer relations, and act like they actually want our business for a change. ^^^^^^^^This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^That ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Ditto D. all of the above I don't, not agree.

Man, the Saiga is such an ugly animal... Anyway, March '09 manufacture on mine and it had a flat bullet guide. I bought everything from CSS at once and I asked Greg if he could see what kind of trunnion my gun was going to have and give send me the appropriate bullet guide and he did.

As far as the difficulty factor goes, my Saiga was the first gun I ever purchased and I started restoring it the same day that I got it. Just study a couple of the tutorials/videos for an hour or two and you should be good to go. Even if you don't want to do it now, you should keep it as an option down the line; it's not that hard.

It's brand new with a chrome-lined barrel and is built in the original Russian factory that has always made AKs, and on the same lines as current miltary-issued AK type rifles. It's also made to the ak100+ series rifle specifications, the updated successors of the older AK47. I got mine for around 350. There is little risk in completely screwing the gun up. It's a somewhat tedious process, but it's not very difficult. You also learn a lot about the gun while doing it. That being said, you can buy an Arsenal SGL-21 (Basically a ready-to-go already converted/restored Mil-Spec Saiga)for 650

The mag that's third from the left looks like it's Izzy as well, I'm pretty sure that slightly increases the value. I'd probably sell that mag on its own to a Russian-equipment collector.

Uly is basically Wolf, right?
