Relsom 1 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) I'm looking to order a 5.45 next week. Looks like Classic Arms still has them for a good deal. Anyone get one from them recently and are they dimpled, round or flat trunnion, PG holed? Who's the importer? Thanks & Merry Christmas ...Chris Edited December 24, 2011 by Relsom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BLACKTALON 0 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 if you want a 7.62 I would wait until centerfiresystems dose free shipping again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Relsom 1 Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Nope, cant get both right now. Thanks for the advise on CF Systems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Relsom 1 Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Looks like I'll be waiting until they're back in stock. A couple of my LGSs got em, but I'm not in such a hurry to pay that kind of price right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wtjosaas 72 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 I just talked to J&G today and they are still hoping to have them in yet this month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
policeacademy4 0 Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 UPDATE I just spoke with both Classic Arms and J&G Sales. The rep from Classic Arms said they were expecting them in the middle of January, whereas J&G said that they're just waiting on their distributor and it could be a week or it could be a year. Even though J&G's answer was more vague, it is probably more accurate. J&G seems to run a way tighter business than Classic Arms does, but that might just be my impression.

mancat 2,368 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 J&G's out of stock also. Besides, I'm still torn as to get a 7.62 or the 5.45. Already got a .223. Just to add fuel to your fire... If you already have a .223 I would suggest a 7.62x39. .223 and 5.45 are far too close in performance to warrant owning both IMO, unless you just want to collect rifles. 7.62x39 and .223 are different enough performers (each in their own respects) to warrant owning both.

Sim_Player 1,939 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) ClassicArms are great folks to deal with. I bought both my Saigas (7.62 and 5.45) from them. There was an issue with my CC and it was rejected. It had a $300 online limit that had to be raised to make the purchase. Well I talked to two different girls i guess because a week later after getting the order fixed I get a call from the other. When I told her that the order was fixed she she said "no problem, I'll just put this rifle back into the inventory." I thought it was great that she was holding it for me a week later. On the second purchase they even answered the phone several times after closing (and on a Friday) because my FFL was having an issue with his fax machine. My 5.45 was purchased back in late Oct. and when prices dropped to $299 I grabbed my 7.62. They have great customer service IMHO.

bukowiec39 0 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 I got mine from BlackMarketArms for little over 300.00. It has nice dimples and mags just fit perfectly. The importer name is gone so I don't know who imported those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DEshooter 1 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I picked up a 5.45 from Classic, I guess a month or two ago. It has the "cheese graded" (scrubbed RAA, i think) patch. It is dimpled, round trunnion and has an 09 serial number. The new importer is TGI, Knox TN. The Classic folks are OK by me. This is my second purchase (first firearm) from them and all questions were answered (purchased by phone), shipping was quick (my FFL reported no problems) and I'm happy with what I got. It has about 3-400rnds thru it, not one flaw. I've run Bulgarian, and Russian milsurp mags; no bullet guide needed. The deep reddish-black mags (maybe East German?) won't slide al the way up the mag well, but a little sanding would probably fix em. And the one unmarked steel mag I have works fine too. All will cycle thru the last round. This is now my favorite range rifle...except the dang holes are so small, I need a spotting scope to see 100yd targets! Alot easier on my shoulder than 7.62x54R! I'll give my M91s a rest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jbrubaker 13 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Yep. Dimples, '09 date, haven't checked for threads (just bought a replacement FSB), PG holed, round trunnion. Conversion was easy. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
