Saigun 0 Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Does anyone know how much a Tromix Saiga .223 16" folder conversion weighs (w/o mag+ammo)? I'm seriously considering buying one, but for me the biggest benefit of compact .223 would be the lightness of the gun and ammo -- if it's overall length is only 36" but it weighs 10lbs, that defeats the purpose for me. (I know, the obvious answer is an AR, but I just don't like them) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And around 30" with stock collapsed. VERY handy and "packable". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wildcatter 28 Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Mine weighs 7.5 lbs sans magazine. It is 26.5 inches folded and 34.75 inches with stock extended. It's the one on the bottom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
