HART1 92 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 What Mags are you using? Pics? Sorry, but I think I better wait on showing or sharing information about this weapon. It's something I've been designing/testing/making for Will for the last 2 years and I don't think he would want me giving out the details. Hopefully testing goes well! Check out my new Avitar. It didn't come from Russia either. Haha!!! Sweet!!! Details soon? Details? Well, not much to say. It's a lot of fun and it sure gets more than it's fare share of attention at the range. It's almost the exact same size as my MP5, but I'm starting to think it's a better weapon platform. I've shot the hell out of MP5's over the years, but to be honest. When an MP5 becomes dirty, your done. This weapon works just was well dirty as it does clean. I have a couple of parts to finish, etch receiver, park or paint it, test it again and then ship it off. After that, it's out of my hands. It will either pass inspection, or it won't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dayofruin 425 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Is there the possibility of a conversion kit? Maybe barrel, bolt, mag well? What kind of mags do you have it set up for? Since the saiga 9 may not make it into the country, I was thinking a conversion kit may work with an existing rifle or maybe a build on something like a Nodak 100 series receiver.

HART1 92 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I don't see a kit being offered. The weapon could use almost any mag, just a different magwell would be needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dayofruin 425 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I wanted a 9mm carbine and couldnt find one I really liked the feel of so I built an AR and now it's one of my favorite shooters. I know that a 9mm AK would top it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z_Felix 23 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 ARMOR is it saiga-9/vityaz-9x19 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
filthygovemploye 64 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 there is some stuff over on the firearms blog within the past 3 days on the saiga 9....orwhatever its called... sounds promising Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MH12194 7 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 I'm glad to see this topic is still running strong. I just saw a Saiga-9 on another website and made me think of this old post. Still would like to see the saiga 9 imported like the standard import saiga. I would love to do a conversion on it. I saw the VEPR as well. Kinda silly magazine design IMPO. Maybe a vityaz magazine conversion would be cool for one. Either way we need a 9mm AK imported to the US. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dayofruin 425 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 IF.... we can get it. The Vepr 9 would be cool if you had the pistol with like mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z_Felix 23 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) IZMASH have sent Saiga-9x19 for certification, and as they said they are going to start producing it already in february. USA's, what is about importing a military style weapons, is it still illegal? Edited January 11, 2013 by Z_Felix 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dayofruin 425 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Still legal as of right now! Hopefully we can get some before anything happens. What magazines will the Saiga 9 use in the final production? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z_Felix 23 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 New magazines by izmash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dayofruin 425 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Maybe an American manufacturer will step up and produce a high capacity magazine for it. I wonder if it would be possible to make a magazine well to accept Uzi magazines... Like the .223 magazine adapters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
supertex 242 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 would be great if it accepted glock mags 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z_Felix 23 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Saiga-9 have been certificated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mostholycerebus 415 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 x2 on the Glock mags. Cheap, lots of options, even a drum out there. Any plans for a .40S&W version? Wouldnt that round better take advantage of the long barrel? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z_Felix 23 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 As the say they second version would be in 9x21(not russian) for countries were 9x19 is illegal for civilians. But you should know that IZMASH now is near bankruptcy, putin's mafia is killing it by ineffective management, also it's an old factory that was made to meet huge army needs. In modern world you do not need 5 or 10 thousand people production company to make assault rifles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dayofruin 425 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Glock mags would be great for compatibility, but look at price/availability compared to $10 32 round Uzi mags. Will the Saiga 9 have the front sight/gas block or a standard extended sight radius? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
getboth 14 Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Z_Felix thanks for the updates, keep us posted. Who is importing them? Wolf? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Z_Felix 23 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 i'm from Russia, i don't know who will import them. A lot of people are waiting for saiga-9х19 here, it should be the first Russian pistol carbine that would be producting in out country for civilians. We have very stupid weapon law, and a very criminal president with hand mafia in government, that are making a lot of panic about weapons that we have. Americans shoot in school's - putins mafia changes weapon law in Russia - paradox. Especially government afraid of pistols in civilans hands, now we don't have them, and every time when someone in press starting to discuss the idea to let our people have pistols - putins government says at tv that our people are so stupid that we will shoot each other. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
getboth 14 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Sorry to hear that youre going through bull shit because of the lame ass shooting excuse. When you said it was getting certified i thought you meant it was getting certified for US import. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't been on here in quite awhile, so if it's already been discussed, I'm sorry. Finally got both my x25 builds with the PPS43 mags running pretty good, and my 9mm with the Suomi drum is a blast. I really would like to build a magwell though to use the UZI mags. Depending on how things go in the near future with the whole gun control thing, I hope to build another 9mm. It really does suck that no one produces a store bought 9mm AK. I'm still shocked that no US manufacturer has come out with one yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HART1 92 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) It will use Sterling or Sten mags, but could be made to use almost any mag or caliber. I have a short test video on youtube. Type in "100 2881" Edited February 2, 2013 by ARMOR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HART1 92 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) U.S. made 9mm Vityaz! Edited February 14, 2013 by ARMOR 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
