I live in Colorado also and have my toys there, but I wanted to compete in 3-gun in Kali and unless you were there prior to the ban, you can have an AR. I don't want to use a Kali AR that you have to unpin to reload 10 rounds.
I can convert a Romy or an AK74 kit to Saiga configuration and run that route.
eta: forgot to add. I was considering using one of my SKS's (non-GL type), but was advised against it for lack of speed in reloading. Non do I want to spend the money to buy a Mini14 and have it accurized.
