22_Shooter 1,560 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 I remember around when I first joined (I think, anyway), someone posting a scan of a magazine ad that showed new S12's priced at about $250. Anyone have the picture saved and can post it, please? All this talk about S12 prices got me thinking about it again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Wasn't that a Shotgun News ad? Edit> ... lol....yep I guess it was....or was that a CDNN? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paprotective 362 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 That was a CDNN catalog.. I think 2003-2004.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Yeah I seem to remember CDNN having the S-12 for like $188 shipped, at one time...... ahhh the good ol days...wish I had taken out a loan..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Thanks for the pic! It makes me cry a little. Now that I'm thinking about it, I think there was another one. An actual scan (as in a magazine put into a scanner). Maybe it was the same ad, though, I'm not sure. Either way..........if only we all knew what we know now. I'm not even talking about flipping them for profit. I'd just love to have a handful of S12's in my own personal stash. With prices the way they are now, I doubt I'll even be adding a 3rd. (Picking up my second S12; a used one for $350, soon) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Desolo 55 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Damn...Id be thrilled if the alone mags were still 19.99, much less if the guns were still 300 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it was the same ad, though, I'm not sure. Kinda like that? Yeah, that might have been it! Side note: S12's have hammer forged barrels?? I didn't know that. Yup! Thats when I bought my Saiga 12 for a whopping price of $299 plus tax and transfer fee from CDNN. The barrels are hammer-forged (at least on mine) as you can see the hammer machining swirl marks under the forestock near the front trunnion. At the time, I just figured it was a cool looking, inexpensive semi-auto shotgun and if it turned out to be a POS it was still unique. Its amazing the popularity the Saiga has recieved over the past few years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAldrich2008 28 Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Notice how the optics mounts are still around the same price. At least we have something to be thankful for!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
