I got a call from RAAC, they have left the bonded warehouse and are in route to RAAC. We should have them by the week of the 23rd. If you ordered one and want the Tromix conversion, they will go to Tony within 3 days.

That shotgun beat him around pretty good. He needs to work on his stance.
-
I find it hard to believe that tony isnt better known. For the caliber of work this guy does, and the exposure on the internet, tony rumore/tromix should be a household name.
If I have anything to say about it, he will be a household name. I am sending 80% of our guns to him for conversions as soon as they get here. And so far, all of our customers that have them on pre-order, that we have spoken with, want theirs sent to him as well.
I want a 10" version myself!

922r has been around for a long time, and will be around for a long time. I think the flat builders have dried up due to market saturation.
Several people ask this question, or a question based on this at the SAR show to the ATF reps. Their interpetation was that a non-NFA firearm made at home only had to be registered if it was later sold and introduced into commerce.
-
We were toying with getting one to see what it is all about. I will ask RAAC if they are coming on the first shipment next week and let you know.

Well, when the gun fund gets there, give me a ring. I'll give you a great deal.

When I see the Saiga shotguns offered in Shotgun News or in the gun department at Dunham's I'll believe that Saigas are being imported again. I don't know why EAA stopped importing the Saiga shotguns and rifles but they sure lost a lot of sales.
Because the Russians screwed them over.
1) The Russians do NOT understand the American market (Robinson also has had the same problem, but some of that may be issues on his end).
2)A The Russians thought that EAA should be selling more than they were. RAAC said they could sell more, but now the Russians have handed them a shit sandwich by upping the price on everything which will make it harder for RAAC to make those numbers since people were used to aseeing them blown out in CDNN for under $300.
2)B CDNN buys up lots of good from other dealers and agencies and sells them at a very deep discount, so all the people who got used to seeing them at that blow out price are going to be in for a bit of a shock when the real world price of the new ones is not the CDNN price, which was what EAA was buying them from the Russians for.
3)The Russians have probably sent RAAC a bunch of guns, or contracted them to sell a bunch of guns that people here in the states cant use or wont buy. For example, the 9X64 caliber. A Russian round that is not commercially available yet (that I can find anywhere) in the US. HTF is going to buy this gun? A hand full of people that reload their own, or can form their own brass maybe, but thats it. And when the sales numbers for that don't match the numbers the Russians have pulled out of their ass and gotten into their heads, they will get pissed at RAAC.
They have done the same thing to Robinson a few times. He orders one thing, they send him screwed up quantities of guns less of what he did order, and more of what he only wanted a few of because that is what they have sitting around or that is what they think he should be selling. Or even worse, they send him stuff that is not even on the form 6 that he ask for. He sent it back to them and deducted the storage and shipping charges from what he owed them. That pissed them off, but they screwed up so tough shit for them.
The recommended dealers are not on their web site, but the wholesalers are. Your dealer can get with one of them and order you one when they get here, or in some cases, you can order them directly form the wholesalers and have it transfered to your dealer (we are doing that, and I am sure others are as well).

The gentleman pictured is not named Ivan, his name is Vladimir Makarov. I have done business with him over the years and he is a great guy. He is also a cop in Russia, so anything you see him holding or posing with is most likely something from his armsroom for his agency.
And they have some very cool stuff!
-
Just got off the phone with Debbie, she says it is bullshit. Just because Robinson is out of guns and the Russians have not even confirmed his order, and has been telling everyone that they are not building guns for anyone but Hugo, does not make it so.
She said she had the shipping numbers and that they are on the way. And the second shipment is getting ready to leave port.
Time will tell, but I feel much better.
-
They have already raised the price from the last batch that came in nearly 20%. I wont pay anymore for them thats for sure.
-
I don't know how much stock to put into this, I have called RAA and left a message to try to speak with Debbie on it but have not heard anything back yet.
I heard from three different people, including a major player in the NFA business (they import a LOT of stuff from all over the world), another future distributor for RAA, and another importer that the Russians have not shipped the Saigas yet and will not be doing so for at least a year. They are too busy with the 100,000 AK's for Venezuala.
I don't know what to make of it, but missing the Thanksgiving dead line and RAA saying that they will not be shipping until the first of the year some time does not make me feel warm and fuzzy.
Has anyone else heard anything?
-
wow. I new about "7.62x39" polish synthetics magazines. I even had some....
But 5.56 polish mags....
these sound rare!
Be aware that the ones ruseller has for sale are the ones RAA tried to get, but the ATf said no way on them. If you order them, just be aware of that.
-
And when you buy from russeller you very well may never see it.
-
On their description sheet they said some guns had "3 butts" Now, I was asking myself what the fuck does that mean, but didn't want to sound like a tool by asking. But I think it meant aht the butt stocks are dteachable and there are three different ones that could go on it.
I promise I will ask on Monday and let you guys know because that would be too cool.

Enter....... McUzi
Oh wait, I forgot!
Say it isn't so! Banned on another board?
-
Pretty slick. Is that a real can on there? If so, who made it?
TIA!
-
Pardon my french, but those fuckin rock!
Any idea on when they will go to production or what retail pricing will be?
-
Yes, they will be in the sporting configuration. Any other version will be converted here stateside.
-
The sporting clause isn't relevant to the question BECAUSE of the trade agreement with Russia, which, contrary to your assumption--- specifically mentions the SAIGA and the VEPR as being importable into the USA. And by specifically, I mean, by name. They are given as examples of non-military firearms.
You might want to call the ATF and point that out to them. They still hold Robinson and the Veprs to the sporting purposes test, and while RAA has not said so, I bet they do it to them too.
-
Only models that are for the US are the regular sporter ones. RAA doenst even want to deal with LE models in the future.
"RAA doenst even want to deal with LE models in the future."
Is that directly from RAA?
It is correct that RAA is not bringing in the LEO version. But they did not give me the impression that it was not an option or future goal, only that the ATF squashed them on it right off the bat.. In fact just the opposite. That said, if they do get them Debbie said they would be stamped LEO/restricted and available only to dealers who sign an agreement saying they wont resell to civilians.
How it will really shake out, if it shakes out will be up for debate for some time. I for one hope they do bring them in. I already committed to them to buy a LOT of them. But look for conversions to a, more agressive version along the lines of what is pictured above.
-
In speaking with RAA, the ATF will not let the LEO stuff in right now. We are hoping that RAA will get approval if they are marked for LEO use, but that will restrict open sales from dealers to civilians. Any K types you see after the imports begin will be in country conversions. And there are people working on those projects to be ready for the Saigas to hit the states.
-
Not having a .223 Saiga I dont know. But I wonder why that is. They feed fine in the Romanian .223 AK (of course) and in the Vepr .223's. Is it a feed ramp issue?
-
AIM Surplus has them for under $20 right now.
-
Is the the EG 223 mag? I have a ton of those and they work great!
