Few more call nope non. Okay another s12 then nope nothing. So i hit the net. Atlantic has nothing. Maa has close to nothing. Nobody has shit but the high dollar pre converted stuff. What gives?

vulcan16 971 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 TAC47 has some, but I'm not sure if they are for sale, or shop modification work. I picked one up recently , but had to wait a couple of weeks for their order to come in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vulcan16 971 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 We are waiting for the next boat load to arrive. Some say it's anytime, but until it gets here who knows. They are in, I bought a new one last week with a 12 build date(serial number.) The prices have gone up, dont expect any $299 specials. Dealers may be waiting for the prices to drop before stocking up.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kindapointless 22 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Link didnt work for me. Damnit to hell when is the next boatload? Knowing my luck these asshats are holding out for the election. Anyone else think of any good toys to hold me off. Bought a flintlock and tried to hunt today. It was like a monkey humping a football and the football won. Now i just want to turn money into noise. Who came up with this stupid flintlock rule? I could of thrown the damn thing and hit the deer. If the boats in then where are they? I wasnt expecting cheap anymore i had 700 to blow and ended up with a flinlock for cheap to hold me over but this thing is lame 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Think1st 2 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I went to my local FFL to see about getting an IZ-132 so that I could get something chambered in 7.62x39, and they only had the .223 and .308 models available. When I had them put an IZ-132 on order, no results came about after about two weeks, so I decided to do some web surfing for options. I found one from an FFL in Florida via a website called Guns America, which is basically a broker for folks selling their firearms. I had to pay a bit of a premium, which in the current environment I don't think was too excessive, and it will be worth it when it arrives at my local FFL and I can pick it up after Kaliforniastan's two-week waiting period. I recommend that you try www.gunsamerica.com. With regards to your desire for cheap ammo, I have been pleased with the prices offered on Cheaper than Dirt. I have bought enough from them to put significant wear on all of my weapons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jbanzai 113 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Cheaper than Dirt has good deals on ammo, but they bend you over with shipping. You can still get Saiga's on GB for $400 or just under with $20-30 shipping. How much more of a deal are you looking for? $299 would be nice again, but I just don't think that's gonna happen this time around.....I hope I'm wrong.

kindapointless 22 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I use gunbroker but even there the pickings are slim. 1 used one and 4 new for ridiculous prices. They put tactical in the name so its worth another 300 hundred. Idont care if gabe suarez had sex with it im not paying that much for a "tactical" branded one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jbanzai 113 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I can't remember the last time I DIDN'T see a 7.62x39 Saiga for $400. They are there now. $400 isn't a steal, but it isn't a ridiculous price either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kindapointless 22 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 No 308s that i find for that price. The one used one is as much as atlantics new. Im trying to find a box stock iz 137 i want another before i hack mine up. Hold up hit a deer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VR762Shooter 838 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 The place I just bought my 12 from had 5 12's and a x39 and another SGL in x39 but that was it no other calibers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kindapointless 22 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Stupid deer now i need a door. Yeah i found others but no 308 that was reasonable. I may just settle for another s12 but i really wanted another 308. I just cant belive all the distributors are out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 If I needed something to buy rite now I would grab one of these. https://www.k-var.co.../SLR106-47.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Syndicate 812 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 is this same thread started like every month? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kindapointless 22 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Probally so im just not the one to do it. I just got pissed that i had disposable income for once and couldnt find one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
timy 1,185 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 is this same thread started like every month? Pretty much. As I mentioned in one of the earlier threads, they are in (012s) at least 7.62x39s. I didn't check any of the others but did buy 3 of those. I also mentioned that my FFL stated that the importers/distributors are keeping the huge majority themselves to convert and sell at a better profit. That, or to get the demand up so they can bump prices without even converting. Either way, it doesn't look good from a buyer's perspective. Probally so im just not the one to do it. I just got pissed that i had disposable income for once and couldnt find one I feel your pain. I tried for a Hi-Point carbine (any caliber) gave up and tried for a Kel-Tec Sub 2000 and gave up again. Currently contemplating an AR, Stoeger 12, P3AT, or whatever strikes my fancy at this point, lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One came up on texasguntrader this evening for $500. Local forums are my best bet for items like this. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rs51085 136 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 try centerfiresystems. they show that they have some 308 veprs in stock for $599 and up. the veprs look to be better quality anyway. worth a call. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dustindu4 101 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 MD Arms got the entire last shipment, things are brewing 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mostholycerebus 415 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Why would they sell for $300-$400 now, when in two weeks they will easily sell for $500-$600+ if the election brings us towards "another assault weapons ban?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I kinda like that but whats the deal with the "non functional pinned on flash hider"? If it had a functional/removable flash hider, it would fall under 922r. Keeping the AK pistols featureless is the only way to import them without 922r getting in the way. Also guys this is how things work when buying imported firearms, especially those being produced at a military factory. They may have to temporarily slow production to fulfill larger orders, shipments may be delayed by customs, etc. Rule of thumb for imported firearms is if you want something, and it's available now for a decent price, buy it today and not tomorrow, because it may be gone. I realize this doesn't help a whole lot, but a lot of people have missed some good deals on guns that can't be had any longer by sitting on their hands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Syndicate 812 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I wasn't being critical I'm just saying we see these threads a lot, it's kind of depressing Saigas are getting that seemingly hard to find Quote Link to post Share on other sites
