super jim 14 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Saiga & other AK based Rifles Looks like the Draco and Draco Mini threads are getting to be enough to justify their own section. Some are getting burried pretty deep already. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobRez 1,895 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Looking at the numbers I hardly think so. With only 806 topics, is is second t last, only beating out the Saiga-20 section. Compared to the 13,882 topics in the Saiga 12 section, and this post making the 9,170th topic in this section........Just saying the numbers are not there, And Saiga does not yet make a Draco model that I am aware of.

David Mark 2,452 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I think this is a great idea. The topic is spread all over from Other AK Rifles, to Handguns, to NFA section. And considering it beat out the Saiga 20 as per Rob's figures I think why not. Hell, we have an MKA-1919 sub forum and the Draco is sure as hell more popular than those. At least for the time being. Plus the fact that I just got one doesn't hurt either. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reverendfranz 160 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) yeah, I do not think so, it is just an ak pistol. If you wanted a section for every AK variant ever made, the forum list would go on forever. Edited December 29, 2011 by ReverendFranz 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theorangeplanet 968 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I would love to have a draco. I would totally trade my S12 for a pimped out draco (hint hint). I plan on picking one up sometime this coming year, anyway... so yes, section away for AK pistols! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobRez 1,895 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 OK ya got me with the MKA-1919 section being there. I am not "Against" another sub-forum, and I really don't get the need for the MKA section, but soon we won't even be a Saiga site, just another gun site. We All love many kinds of guns. At least a Draco section would fit better than the MKA section. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dayofruin 425 Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 The reason for the MKA site, I think, is because it's imported by RAAC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DrThunder88 912 Posted December 30, 2011 Report Share Posted December 30, 2011 I thought it would make more sense to put "Saiga Weapons - General Discussion" forum closer to the Saiga shotguns and Saiga rifles fora. In my opinion the "Other AK Rifles" and MKA-1919 fora would seem to fit better with the "All Weapons - General Discussion". Still, the system works as it is. A Draco section may be useful, but a better option would just be to encourage the use of tags in threads pertaining to Dracos. That way other Dracophiles could search for "Draco" using the search form's tag field. Actually, encouraging proper tag use could make searching a lot simpler altogether.

super jim 14 Posted December 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Good tip, Drthunder88. I an guilty of not using tags. I'll start doing that. I guess I have become a Dracophile. I didn't even know they existed until a forum member told me about them less than a month ago. But since the Draco Mini has only be out for a few months and is now in short supply until more get imported next sping (maybe April?), I think the interest will be growing in coming months. It might be worth while to have a section ahead of time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
preparehandbook 326 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 The Draco is not "just another AK" it has a feel and appeal all it's own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MT Predator 2,294 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 The Draco is not "just another AK" it has a feel and appeal all it's own. It has the feel and appeal of a short barreled AK. Still not worthy of it's own section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScuseMePrincess 23 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Man, I've got a serious itch for a Draco, and you guys aren't helping. lol Something I was thinking about yesterday: Veprs are becoming more popular, and are kinda like Saiga's more expensive big brothers. Do enough people here own Veprs to warrant sections outside of "Other AK rifles?" I was thinking about getting a Vepr 5.45 from K-Var (if I don't get a Draco), but I wanted some more info on it. There aren't any dedicated Vepr forums out there that I'm aware of, so this Saiga forum would be the next best thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jrance@iacwds.com 716 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Why not just replace the e-tac.gogun section with it. LOL Somebody over my pay grade will decide. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure what other information you are looking for but here is an initial impressions thread I started on the Vepr in 7.62x39: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/75032-initial-impressions-of-the-vepr-rifles/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rs51085 136 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 i think it is a terrible idea. enough people already know about these things. we don't want more demand for them or the price will go higher. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NM0 586 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 The mini draco in my safe is the other AK compared to the Saiga's...6 to 1. It's also a pistol (unless/until you SBR it). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
