Steve in Allentown, PA 5 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I've been poking around the web looking for a place that has a Saiga IZ-109 for sale. Gilbert's Guns says they have some in stock but the price seems a bit high ($440). Stanley's Pro Shop doesn't appear to have any in stock which is too bad since Stanley's tends to run about $50 less expensive than Gilbert's per firearm. What other shops are out there that sell Saigas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kresk 10,063 Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Check Atlantic Firearms, Arms of America, Gilberts, GunBroker, Guns America, Guns at Cost, On Point. All carry or have carried Saigas and I think Atlantic may give you a little discount if you mention you are a forum member. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KySoldier 2 Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 FWIW, Gilbert's has one IZ-109 left. BTW, the next few shipments won't have any 12s, just 20s, so get em while ya can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobotech 3 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I put a IZ109 on layaway at Atlantic Firearms today. I will pay it off in about a week or 2 hopefully. The remaining one at Gilbert's Guns was gone today when I went to buy it. Gilbert's Guns did have 3 of the IZ107 (the long barreled version) though but it sounds like that the shorter barreled version is more desirable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sKott 26 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Interesting, On Monday 9-2-07 I emailed Atlantic Firearms and asked if I could put a Saiga 12 IZ-109 on layaway and my request was refused. They stated that it was in high demand and that the IZ-109 was not available for the layaway program. So, how is it that some people get to use the program and others don't. I had $250 to put as a down payment... I'm sure they are a great vendor and from what I've read the people at Atlantic have a great reputation but it doesn't settle well with me that my request was refused while someone else's was accepted the next day. I did end up emailing Gilbert's on Tuesday and they did have one that I could place in layaway so I sent them the deposit. I hope that Gilbert's really does have one on the shelf with my name on it. I guess I'll have to call and verify. sKott Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if thats why they were willing to work with me. As for Gilbert's, when I talked to them on Tuesday, they said that they did have 3 of the IZ107s in stock (the 24 inch barrel models). I wanted the 19 inch barrel model which is why I went to Atlantic. Do you know if you got the 109 or the 107? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobotech 3 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Funny thing about trying to acquire one of these guns, its a lot like when I was trying to acquire my Romak 3/PSL a few months back. They would pop up available on rare occasions and be almost impossible to buy without them going out of stock almost right away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scoutjoe 276 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 there's one down at a shop local to me....although the price is a bit high on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fosniper 0 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Gilbert's is great to do business with. +1 on that. I had read great things about both Gilbert's and Atlantic. The credit card fee pushed me to Gilbert's though. I'm impatient and didn't want to wait any longer than I had to - I ordered a 109, and it looks like I got the last one. My credit card was declined though, and when I called later to fix it they took care of me straightaway! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jcfreak9901 0 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Fifty bucks in your pocket while you're sitting out waiting for the next shipment seems like a small consolation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atlantic Firearms.com 170 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 We are sold out of the 12'S at our warehouse but do have a few on Gunbroker , they are higher in price due to Auction fees, if you guys call or email in the future about these please let us know you are a Saiga 12 member we normally will extend discounts to members etc. Layaways are not usually allowed on items that are in high demand and limited supply , the customer that posted earlier let us know about their membership and we wanted to work with them because we like to support this forum and the members. Hopefully the Russians will begin to live up to their obligations and fill the orders for the shiotguns and the supply will get better later on this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

getitat 609 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I wanted the 19 inch barrel model which is why I went to Atlantic. Hello, bobotech You may want to consider adding the Atlantic/Ultimak top rail to your order. They rock! guido2 in Houston Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hkusp45 8 Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Hey Allentown, you may have some luck using Boyer's Hardware in Slatington. When I used to live in PA he was one of the better places to shop and order stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MikeD 541 Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 The other day RapidFire in Troy had a couple IZ-109's still. A little higher than some places but they are in the flesh, saw them with my own eyes, $475. Craig might cut a little off the price if you ask really nice. Tell him I sent you (not saying that because I think it will help but just cause) 937-332-0833 extension 2 , tell him to wrap you up a Mk19 while your at it!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
