Mr Polytech

Just curious, what was the final outcome W/ the Saiga 20 mags from saigaclub.com in Russia? Did they come through, or did it turn out to be a scam site? I have never seen any Saiga 20 mags for sale in the US w/ a capacity of over 5 rounds, & even the 5 round mags are pretty difficult to find at a fair price...

Well, I just received 6 MD drums today from J&G...They still have some left; anyone that has been wanting the best S12 drum made better hop on it as it seems that MD is no more...

Dude...I was not "offended by your price", nor do I think your a 'Pirate'; I was thinking more like "What an Idiot"... Hold onto your drums a bit longer, then; really...The fact that you paid $200 a piece for them is your problem. I say "Yo-Yo as your claims were "So hard to find", which is not so believable at this point in time....Not quite. I didnt dis your marketplace thread on ARFCOM; and NOBODY asked you to post here; AS far as "holding on to yours a bit longer" I believe on ARFCOM you stated in your ad "Sold Locally", (which now your claiming the opposite); which I found hard to b

First I noticed some yo-yo on ARFCOM selling a MD Arms 20 rnd. Saiga 12 drum mag. for $200, claiming "Everyone's out of stock; you know how hard these are to get now"...I thought, B.S.; their all over the place. So I thought I'd go to the MD Arms website to see whats up; website was down. (Yesterday). Website is still down today, and it DOES seem the MD Arms drums are in somewhat short supply... Anybody know whats up? I noticed Mike Davis hasn't posted here since March...I really, really hope something serious hasn't happened in regards to Mike or MD Arms...

Well, the M Model is definately a different animal in comparison to the run of the mill Saiga 223...Receiver thickness is 1.25mm...Barrel is slightly heavier contour & 21" long...It has a thumbhole stock w/ a slant cut receiver (similar; but not identical to a Vepr) & the trigger group is moved forward (actually, in the correct spot) in comparison to your standard saiga 223.

Hi, all. I have a Saiga M Model 03 (21" barrel, wood dragunov style stock, normal AK FCG location), and there is a sleeve in front of the FSB that when you look at the muzzle there is a slight gap between this sleeve & the muzzle...Anyone know if there are any threads under there? It's not spot welded on; I'm wondering if it is attached by a blind pin? Silver solder? It does not look as though it is integral w/ the FSB, as there appears to be a seam between the two of them. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated; as I would love to put a flash-hider on this bitch. Thanks in advance

Thanks Pauly! Most appreciated... Just clicked on your website link...Nice work!

Hi all... I just bought a new Saiga 12 (actually my third); but the stock mag that came w/ it will not lock up...I have two other Saiga 12's and have had two Saiga 20's, never had this happen...I have tried 5 other extra Izhmash 5 round S12 mags I have, one of them barely fits and does lock up, but is so tight, look's like I'm gonna' have to do a little work here on the magwell. Just curious, anybody else ever have this issue w/ a new Saiga shotgun?

Grow the "F" up...

O.K. now, Ya'all got it straight? Position #1 for high brass; if it hangs up; use position #2....

From what I understand, ATF has not been signing import form 6's for Saiga importation (you must have a signed form 6 or your shipment cannot clear customs); due to the 'Sportability' clause in the Federal Firearm importation laws; until they 'resolve' the Saiga question: Which is: "Is it truly a sporting rifle/ shotgun eligible for importation when it is so easily convertible to a 'banned' import configuration?" Not looking good for the future import status of Saigas; shotguns OR rifles; under Eric Holders Dept. of Injustice. If Obama get's re-elected, it will be worse than Klinto

I wonder whats under the muzzle nut?

Same here, but they told me it would end the importation of ammo due to it being designated a handgun cartridge Isn't that what happened to Chinese steelcore 7.62x39 when Olympic made an AR pistol in that caliber? Something like that anyway. Yes...Thanks to the Olympic Arms AR pistol in 7.62x39, Chinese steelcore officially became 'Handgun Cop Killer Ammo'. This was quite a while ago back during the reign of Herr Klintoon... They have had .223 Dracos all along; just seems like there hasn't been any around really since right before the Obama buying frenzy in the fall of 08

Did a trade with Mullet Man. Fast shipping and as described. A+!

Got it- Thanks! Pos. feedback left for the transaction.

Wow. Now that's a machine. I wish you were closer to MT. That's a really good deal for that Landcruiser. I'm gonna go on Yahoo maps & see how far you are from me-Looks like 1369 miles...I dunno, pretty far-

Will be shipping Tues., as Mon. is Presidents day & the P.O. is closed.

I have an 8rnd Izzy mag from back in the day that is new in the clear plastic bag and has never even been fitted in a Saiga 12 that I will gladly trade. (reason being that I have plenty more)...Originally purchased from (if I remember the name right) Russ Mil.com over in England...When the mags showed up, the return address was some "Tent Stake Company" in England- anyway, brand new & the real deal. I would like to trade it for the unfitted mag w/ the smoke back cover. To other members- sorry, but this is the only one I want to get rid of at this time. P.M. sent; J.D.

The problem here is not 'just' the ATF study...From what I hear, Izhmash is bankrupt; broke; finished...They have been talking about selling the licensing for Saiga small arms to either Molot or Baikal; but nothing has been decided... Yes, Izhmash acquired Molot as the result of a big lawsuit a few years ago; but they have sold it off to another Russian industrial concern... So, what it all comes down to is will they be legal to import if and when they are manufactured again??? Kvar is totally out. However, Gilberts Guns has the IZ 109's for $569...Yes, I know it sounds expensive, consider

They don't call them 'Crapco' for nothing! I have heard that their sidefolders do not hold up to the S12; I bought one of their Warsaw length standard AK fixed stocks once; I was not impressed (to say the least) and gave it to a friend of mine.

At one time (when EAA was importing them) they actually came w/ two 5 round mags! Are they still shipped from Russia that way w/ 'someone' @ the importer pulling one? Or are they only supposed to come w/ one from the factory nowadays???

Binocularsmart is still selling stuff on Ebay, but from what I have heard they are rip-off's...I would stay far, far away.

Er...Somehow that doesn't 'look' legal...But hella fun!

Yah, if you snug the buttstock in good & tight to your shoulder, recoil is not bad @ all.

Hi, Al. Just sent you a p.m. regarding your property for sale; Thanks, J.D.
