KySoldier 2 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I bought three Saigas from Gilberts Guns here in KY and converted them to pistol grip configurations. If you want one already converted I'd suggest Atantic Firearms. If you want something more custom then go to the source -> Tromix. www.gilbertsguns.com www.atlanticfirearms.com www.tromix.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Conju 2 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I bought mine from FBMG and Regret it because they failed to do what they said they were going to do. To their credit they did do what they said they would do AFTER I sent them several emails. I won't buy from them again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davidmdraege 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) I bought mine from a local gun dealer. Luckily, he knew about Saigas so when RAA started to import them, he grabbed up some. You might want to talk to local dealer again and let him know what you are intersted in. The Saiga is currently being imported by Russian American Armory out of Scottsburg, IN. Below is the link to their site: RAA Inc.

joelrod47 373 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) ..........get the shotgun you've really always wanted.......... Personally, I have three recommendations: 1. WWW.TROMIX.COM 2. WWW.TROMIX.COM and 3. WWW.TROMIX.COM ( For S-12 conversions, this is top-of-the-line...........) (yeah, yeah, I know.........totally shameless..........)

badman400 3 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Got both my stock Saiga's (.308 & S12) from Freedom Guns in Greenville, SC. Charlie is the friendly neighborhood gun runner in these parts, and a great guy to deal with. For the SBS I have in mind, I'll be contacting Tony @ Tromix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Kind of off topic but I've bought at least 12 Saigas from right here on this forum. If you keep an eye on it you can find a deal on a good used one. Nothing wrong with a used Saiga, they all need breaking in anyway, at least the shotguns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kresk 10,063 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Of a dozen or so Saigas, have purchased four here on the forum, and the rest from Gilberts, On Point, or Zanders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eupfhoria 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I bought mine from FBMG and Regret it because they failed to do what they said they were going to do. To their credit they did do what they said they would do AFTER I sent them several emails. I won't buy from them again. Could you elaborate please? Just wondering because I am planning on buying 1 or 2 more unconverted Saiga12's in the near future, and was looking at FBMG Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaGroaner 2 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I bought my first one from Elitist Dave before he went to shit. My second and third were purchased from Saiga-12 board members. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just wondering because I am planning on buying 1 or 2 more unconverted Saiga12's in the near future, and was looking at FBMG Thanks I won't buy anything from them ever again either. Most people don't have a problem with them and are pleased with their transactions. If you do run into a problem they won't listen to you because they believe their shit doesn't stink and you will have a difficult time sorting it out. The main reason I wouldn't buy anything from them again - THEY LIE and I hate liars. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just wondering because I am planning on buying 1 or 2 more unconverted Saiga12's in the near future, and was looking at FBMG Thanks Purchased a Saiga -12 last june $411 shipped. Two days after i purchased it, before it even arrived, they started advertising them for $379 shipped I believe (Don't quote me on the numbers, they're not exact). Now, $30 is alot of money when you're working minimum wage in an urban area. I posted in the thread they advertised in asking if I could get that price. Now you think a logical company that values their customers would take care of the customer at this point. BZZZZT! I asked, they said they would look into it. I asked again, they said they would look into it. I asked a 3rd time and they basically told me to go get fucked. Also Ordering the saiga was a pain in the ass in itself. I had never ordered a gun online before and FBMG made it incredibly complicated. I did what they told me to and they never even told me what the status of my order was. The gun arrived fine, but still, I would have at least expected a confirmation email from them, I got none. Also I hear that their 20rd 308 mag licks donkey balls. Fuck FBMG. They deserve a hard lesson in word of mouth advertising and customer service. Edited January 18, 2007 by Conju Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DHunter 1 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I bought mine a long time ago for around $230 or so. Got through the gunsmith who works out of a local gun store who was listed as an EAA dealer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
