vitamink 90 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I have one... so at least 2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stiletto raggio 20 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 (edited) If we are doing a running tally, make that at least seven. Also, since you appear to be relatively new to this stuff, be warned: I joined here two years ago and now I am thousands of dollars into the platform. It is addictive, and rightly so.

r40734 19 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 does anyone know the total number of how many Saiga 12's are already in the United States? What is the best estimate? Several thousand... minimum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mullerbjorn 0 Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 A domestic S12 could be very interesting, particularly if they did it right. The real issue would be market share. How big is the potential market of an S12 type shotgun? I have seen more and more over the years as awareness and interest grows in this shotgun. I also believe that the after market support provided by many of the vendors here has increased the interest in and desirability of these guns. It would be interesting to know the volume of S12 sales. Sooo minimal would be 15,000 already in USA???? What is the Max??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I don't know how many Tony has converted, but it's in the thousands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 fine, fine, not long ago, a few of us all had a discussion and there were some additions to the numbers that we came up with along the way. it is somewhere between 60 and 80,000 of them. the only way of knowing, is to have the factory to a full audit and see how many of every model was shipped into the US since the Saiga line was born.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jrmock 7 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I emailed RAAC a similar question a few months ago and got a decent response. Although they do not publish import numbers he would tell me that their contract is for > 25000 S12s per year. That is a lot of shotguns. jrmock Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 jrmock - clyde has scaled up import numbers over the past couple of years....how do I know? because I discussed how many he could sell each year. so regardless of what the numbers are this year, they werent the same last year. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullerbjorn 0 Posted December 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Wow! that makes me feel dizzy. that would mean maybe alot more than 60-80 thousand already here.

Mullerbjorn 0 Posted December 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 A domestic USA made S12 could be very interesting. It would resolve the current price tag of an S12 back to the original $300-$400 price range. http://forum.saiga-12.com/public/style_emoticons/default/000.gif These are the good old days!

DogMan 2,343 Posted December 24, 2009 Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 One S12 per square mile in the U.S., not counting rivers and lakes should be the goal. God willing and the creek don't rise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
