TwentyNizzo 66 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Hate to tell you, but you aren't getting a S12 for that cheap (lol). Unconverted used ones seem to be going for around $500 and new ones are $579 at the cheapest now when you can find them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think you may be more in the market for a Pardner Protector. I was only half joking though. If you only have $300.00 to spend, that'll get you a decent, albeit heavy 870 knockoff, a mag extension, side saddle & gas tube cover with ghost ring sights & if you're lucky, 15 rounds of .00 buck from wally--world. Not too shabby for an entry level HD setup. $300.00 is just a down payment on the layaway for a half way reliable S-12 without doing the work one's self. The most economical new S-12 out there right now I believe is from Greg at Carolina Shooter's Supply. They're in the mid-5's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BB1980 71 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yeah, I just got one at a gun show one week ago, new in box unconverted for $579 out the door. I thought it was a good deal, so I went for it. I've already gotten and installed the conversion kit myself, and have the bolt / FCG at Pauly's Steelin' Fabrication getting a glass bolt and left charging handle addition. I also have an auto plug and MD arms puck and 20 rd drum on the way. All of the ones I've seen locally until the gun show were going for $700-800. I think if anyone knew where $300 saigas were, they'd blow some cash and stock up for resale..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tokinshitload 12 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I know where you can get one for $300.........2005 Everyone who has one probably knows there worth, and hence you wont get one for that price. There is an occasional idiot out there that doesn't know what they have, but it is a matter of being at the right place at the right time.If your a good boy you might get one for Christmas, but you better put it on your list!

armalite_ar50 86 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Get on a list and wait and you MIGHT get one for 600 OTD I did, took better part of two weeks for it to get to the distributor and another week to my FFL. Find one for 579 in stock jump on it. otherwise yer gonna pay more for one in stock, in stock configuration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

physicsnerd 139 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I'd sell mine for $300 as long as it was a stack of 15 St. Gauden's Double Eagles! But you'd have to be incredibly lucky to find one that cheaply priced. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nailbomb 10,221 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Thank Sons of Guns.................. Hardly, the weapon system was gaining popularity and prices were going up due to the rising aftermarket and awareness of the gun long befor the show ever aired. Gouging has been hapening for years based on the troublesome shipping problems and ATF nonsense. Don't think that this is the first time the ATF nonsense caused a permanent raise in price either, people have been singing the "they're gonna DD it" song for YEARS and with some effect ^$^. If anything you could argue sons of guns is just another evolutionary step in the rise in popularity these guns have had, much like the rise in popularity in tattoos(LA INK), Choppers(OCC, biker build off) or even custom cars(overhauling). theres many more of these shows that have come and gone, so theres plenty of examples i'm missing.

Paulyski 2,227 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 I paid $569.00 over two years ago. Well before the show Sons Of Guns was in production. Now, Greg of C.S.S. will be offering another shipment on the 5th of September (6 days) for $579.00. I don't think paying $10.00 more after 2 years is unreasonable. Sure, it'd be nice if they'd dip to $469.00 like they did right before the panic buy (where people were gladly paying $700.00), but I don't see that happening. With our dollar dropping like lead in the water, prices will all go up from here for imported goods. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
