Posting to this old thread to give a fellow Californian a heads up. Saigas imported by EAA or RAAC are unlisted and legal to own and as of 1/1/07 the assault weapon list can't be added to. Thank you NRA. On the other hand Saigas imported by Kalashnikov-USA are listed as assault weapons and had to be registered as such by 1/1/00. Of course SB23 compliance still applies. Hate to see someone get in trouble without knowing it.
