Eric Pate 478 Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Ok Ive had my local dealer trying to find an s-12 for about a month now. So far he says he has gotten no reply from Tromix or FBMG. Now, I know that local dealers arn't always to be trusted even though hes always done great by me, but where else can I go? I'm about desperate enough to buy an unconverted one even. Are all these being bought up or something? They are still being imported right? by RAA? What should I do to get one of these bad boys? If I miss this train I'll never forgive myself.

bernerz 11 Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 There's a number of online sellers. I have heard good things about Gilbert's Guns. There's also Atlantic Firearms and Impact Arms as well. Check with them for stock onhand. If they do have them send to to your local FFL dealer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BobAsh 582 Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 (edited) Tromix will not sell an unconverted gun because as you have discovered, they are hard to get right now. Contact Tony directly for a converted gun. His stock may be low at the moment, but he will be the first to get his when the new shipment comes in.

BobAsh 582 Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Update: Tony has suspended orders until May 15th, as many of you know. He believes he has enough guns to get through to his next shipment. Your best bet for a Tromix gun is to order on May 15th. Red Jacket has some guns, I think, but they don't offer as many options as Tromix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Most of the saiga-12 in existence are in the closets and gun cases of the members of this board. Your best bet is to find someone who needs money and does not want their gun, also keep an eye on gun broker and gun shows. It took me almost three weeks to pin down a Iz-109 that was at the price I could afford. look and ye shall see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atlantic Firearms.com 170 Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 The Russian's have been filling military contracts since Feb and have not shipped very many into the US , we will not probably see the supply pick up until July or later on the unconverted units .

Eric Pate 478 Posted May 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Had too many bad experiences with online auctions. Nothing personal but I prefer to not do business that way. Also there are a few people on those sites that pretend to have the guns in stock but actually just turnover tromix guns and the like. So thats why I'm wary of auctions. Also, I want to thank everyone who took the time to respond to this thread. I now have considerably more options than I did a few days ago. Your help is appreciated.

The price is not the best I've seen,but they are getting hard to come by. Just got mine this past Wednesday. I can tell you he is out of S-.410's,as I just ordered the last one!!

He is a RAA distributor. He is also doing conversions to pistol grip. That's the dealer I was talking about. I was there Thursday and bought the last one. He is expecting more within the next two weeks. Try calling him at (850) 926-5500. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
