nalioth 405 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 "Kalashnikov USA" out of Port Lucie, Florida was an importer at one time. You purchased some older models. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anothermotorhead 0 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 no bho. thanks for the info , bought a pair for 300 a piece, maybe 10 rds through them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GregM1 241 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I thought EAA was the only other importer. How long have saigas been imported and how many other companies have brought them in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kresk 10,063 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 There have been multiple Saiga importers in the past, maybe a half dozen all together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gtnichols 51 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'll wager the older ones are better made, I know the EAA S-12s were better quality than they are now,.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stix213 3 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Just a side note, the Kalishnakov USA Saiga is the only listed Saiga specified as an AK-47 series assault weapon in Kalifornia. It is illegal to purchase or import into the PRK and must have already been registered with the state to own. All other makes of Saigas, although practically identical, can be purchased like any other long gun with just the typical background check, including my RAA version.

paprotective 362 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 $300 for the pair. Nice and Lucky there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IndyArms 10,189 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 No... $600.00 for the pair... He bought a pair of them, for $300.00 a piece... ( each) Still a fair price... I would have also for the Kalashnikov importer stamped models Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TWGLADF 0 Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 the kalashnikov USA imports were the ones that would run standard ak mags with no mods. maybe thats why they were banned in CALI. i bought one new back in 1998 and i have one in my safe right now that belongs to my wifes brother. it too runs the standard ak mags. feeds and locks in with no mods. i ordered him some thermold mags to be 922r compliant with his parts count. he installed a tapco intrafuse stock set.

That's possible, but another reason is it was the only one available at the time the law was made. They never updated the list since then, and the Governator signed a law a few years back making it illegal for the state attorney general to add any new models, so until the laws change all new AK models are legal.
