SaigaNoobie 66 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I'm wondering if any of you guys in the know with RAAC could give me an update on the .22LR Saigas. Is there any possibility that they're coming? PM Me. ~SN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
physicsnerd 139 Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I hope someone here can answer that as well. Did you happen to call RAAC? The one time I needed to call them the gentleman on the other end of the phone was extremely helpful and patient. Perhaps one of us should just call. Too late in the day now though. Also, do I understand 922r correctly in that these could be imported in awesome configuration and not neutered? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will buy at least 3 of them if they are priced like a typical 7.62 gun and come with the poly sidefolder! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is there any possibility that they're coming? PM Me. ~SN I emailed RAA a month ago or so asking about Saiga 22s. The reply explained that 22s aren't really in production beyond demos at this point, so there isn't an ETA. There wasn't any more detail, but I inferred that RAA is aware of the state-side demand for the Saiga 22. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uzitiger 193 Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 Maybe we should email RAA and let them know that we want them. Consumer demand will cause the product to be produced if the price is reasonable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd think the internals will vary at least a bit seeing as the .22 is a rimfire cartridge. It's a different ballgame--no dry fires or you'll screw things up, unlike other caliber AK's.

scoutjoe 276 Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 I would think that the internals would be close to a WASR-22. Straight blowback, so different bolt carrier and recoil spring assembly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shandlanos 1,470 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Definitely. Straight blowback, bolt and carrier should be one piece and much lighter, and presumably with a shorter travel distance. I want one of these, muchly. 1/2"x28 threaded barrel and 20+ round mags would be nice... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SovietGinger 16 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 .22LR Saiga? Do not want at all. Izhmash produced StG44 AK-precusor?? WANT WANT WANT! We shall compromise. StG44 in .22LR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
