USMC_LB 4 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I remember when I bought mine from CDNN when it arrived at the gunshop it drew a crowd from customers and employees. They had never heard of one. The price for S-12s were $259... I should have bought more. LB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

People look at you, but I reckon they think it's an AK from it's look. Once I start shooting it, people start wandering over asking what the heck it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azrial 1,090 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I remember seeing one at a local gun show for $225. The guy said that the problem was that you could not get the 8 round mags and the 5 rounders where hard to come by, so I passed on it. There being little point in a box magazine fed shotgun that you can not get extra mags for. If only I had known what was going to happen in the coming years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

btr 15 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 They were also illegal to convert back then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yellowcarbon 4 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 CDNN also was selling 20ga 3" mags for $10 for awhile. Nobody wanted them so they didn't really sell. Of course, they sold out about a week before I bought my S-20 for $230 locally. So I had to pay the inflated price of $20 to buy S-20 2.75" mags from Tantal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pointer 21 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Yep,i got mine for $219.00 from CDNN.I remember the ads for the green guns but ive never seen one.Mine was a 22" 108.I got all my Saigas back when they were cheap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronswin 26 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Just saw this on TheFirearmsBlog: Circa 2001 I got my 2001 Saiga-12 from that same CDNN sale from a local dealer (Dark Sun). I was originally looking for a Remington 1100 to trick out and use in 3-gun when I saw in the dealer's stack of new arrivals, this peculiar semi-auto AK Russian 12 gauge that used a box magazine and less than $300!!?? Well, I thought "even if it's a POS, it's got a certain wicked/ bling factor". I bought it on the spot (along with six 5 round magazines) and years later (and a few thousand shotshells) my Saiga is far from out of the box look and I never found a need for that Remington 1100.
