csmclaurin 0 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) On their website, Gilbert's Guns is now showing that they have Saiga 12s in stock for $599 plus shipping. Is that a decent price? Since they now have them, does that mean that other retailers should have them fairly quickly? I was on the waiting list and they called me yesterday so I am down for one at that price but want to get another and hope to get a better price on it. I know that CGW has posted that he is fixin' to get a sales list up of forum members and I'm certainly interested in buying from him (since he supports the forum with his sponsorship) once I know the price he intends to sell them for and if I am able to get on his list. The only other retailers I know of are Stanleys, Centerfire, thegunsource, and snipercountry. Are there others? Thanks for any input. Steve P.S. to Mods: I am a newby to the forum and if this constitutes an illegal post I apologize. It was unintentional and I will be glad for you to delete it.

KrisFox 69 Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 $599 A month ago I would have picked one up at that price. Right now... I'm waiting for more distributors to get there's and let me do a little price shopping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thor's Hammer 33 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Yeah, I thought the same thing. I might just save $70 waiting till Centerfire shows em in stock. I seriously doubt they will go for lower than that in the foreseeable future. Blah, blah, blah... Make a long story short, at lunch break I clicked finalize checkout and about 3 hours later they sent me my tracking number. I'm so weak. That $70 is coming out of my beer allowance.

I wouldn't be able to do it . . . wouldn't be able to go 2 weeks without drinking! Congrats on the kick ass S12 coming your way though.

bigjimcalhoun 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I got one from him about 1-1/2 months ago for the price stated above. I thought this was part of the new shipment but it seems that either: A - he got them when no one else did or B - he has a stash held back C - something else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lance 4 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 well news flash, Gilberts guns won't ship me a saiga 12 to Guam. I don't understand why. its not like they are exporting it. we do have Federal firearms licenced dealers here. which are licenced by none other than the United States FEDERAL government. anyone have any other suggestions for me?

Hmm... Ask your FFL in Guam if there is a CONUS FFL that they have worked with in the past that can take delivery and then forward it to Guam? Just a thought. They should know if this can legally be done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stoyan79 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) Just called Gilberts and got his last 2. Have been waiting for this moment 8 months ... One will be converted and shot and one will be original safe queen. They told me they had bunch of them and sold out in few days, also I asked if this is from the new shipment and they said "Yes".

stoyan79 0 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Centerfire has 900 back orders and they have been getting less than 100 from every shipment so far ... It might take them few years to catch up, unless the Russians start making more rifles ... Yeah, I thought the same thing. I might just save $70 waiting till Centerfire shows em in stock. I seriously doubt they will go for lower than that in the foreseeable future. Blah, blah, blah...

motopolitico 0 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Anybody hear from TGSCOM? I was told I'm #13 on the backorder list, but I haven't heard squat yet. Website is still showing me the price I initially agreed to back in May, and still no ship date... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rundm 0 Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 when I called centerfire day before yesterday they told me that there is not that long of a list at all. I don't know whether or not 900 people deep is a long list or not but the guy did say that the list was not long and should not be to long before they were able to fill it.

Megatron 0 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I was on the waiting list at Gilbert's guns, they called last week and I should have it here Wednesday. The funny thing is that they called me again today to see if I wanted anymore, so I believe they have more to sell, just in case someone is still looking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Navy87Guy 1 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I just received an email from R&R Arms to let me know they now hae the S12 in stock. $490 is a pretty good price. As of 2100 on Tuesday, they show 68 in stock. I bought my 7.62x39 from the m -- very nice company to deal with and fast delivery. Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DS12 1 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Is that legit? I called and asked the guy on the phone if they were truly in stock, all he said was "What's it say on the website?" In stock "Then it's in stock" Click I just received an email from R&R Arms to let me know they now hae the S12 in stock. $490 is a pretty good price. As of 2100 on Tuesday, they show 68 in stock.

bigjimcalhoun 0 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 There are ways to get to the top of these lists Do tell. I don't know if we can give direct links to other forums, but Gilberts Guns is a sponsor of another forum catering to a Croatian-made polymer handgun rebranded from a company based out of the capitol of Illinois. Add the model name + talk.com/forums and you can find the forum. From there, read the thread on Saigas in the Gilberts Guns subforum and it tells you how to get to the top of the list. Aside from that, I hail originally from "politician's paradise", also known as Massachusetts. As a Masshole, you learn that throwing a little extra cash around greases the skids. My neighbor back in Mass special ordered a crew cab pickup and when it arrived 3 months later, the dealer sold to someone else who offered more money. It would have been funny if I was the one that bought it, but I wasn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
