nalioth 405 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) Yes, you're late to the party with this. Did RAA miss this one or am I late to the show. - Saiga-12.com 5.45 makes stateside - Saiga-12.com 5.45x39 Saiga? - Saiga-12.com Edited July 13, 2009 by nalioth Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nalioth 405 Posted July 13, 2009 Report Share Posted July 13, 2009 Aww man! Im never going to get my TIG welder. Sure you will. RAAC will have their 5.45x39 Saigas out soon at an MSRP of less than $400 (just like the .223 and 7.62x39 Saigas they import) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WTF! .......................... Yeah it pretty much defeats the purpose of trying to save money by shooting cheap surplus 5.45 ammo when the 5.45 rifle costs over a grand. Not sure what Arsenal's thought process was on this, but then again Smith and Wesson did the same thing last year with they came out with their 5.45 model M&P-15 that cost over $900, so whatever the thought process is it is apparently making the rounds. Maybe next month Mercedes-Benz will come out with a $40,000 luxury sedan with a bio-diesel engine that can run off all the McDonald's deep-fryer oil the driver can steal. Oh well, at least the 5.45 Saigas are also now finally available. Edited July 14, 2009 by Frogfoot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is a huge difference in these and the probable sub-$400 rifles RAAC will be offering. Edited July 14, 2009 by nalioth Quote Link to post Share on other sites
