Old SF MJT 7 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) The title pretty much says it all. I've checked several wholesalers who usually have ready supplies of the different Saiga varieties but everyone seems to be out do stock. What's up? Thanks in advance for the assist!

Forge 11 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 You just missed a couple on auction arms that ended Sunday morning. One was new in box and the other was like new. They both had a buy it now price of $350 and people were bidding on them! I was so tempted to grab the new one but I already have a 223. You have to become and addict an scour the web every 20 minutes like me in order to try and get the great deals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
billdozer 6 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I picked up two at Olde English Outfitters in Ohio for 389. Hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mike U. 51 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 If you can get one, even at a slightly bigger pricetag, you better jump on it NOW! Reason being, come Wednesday (11-7), if the current president gets to stay in office, guns and ammo will be FLYING off of the shelves. Look for a repeat of 2008 gun sales, when the industry reported firearm sales at unprecedented numbers, and, many popular models were backordered, BIGTIME. Outstandingly good news about a Saiga boat on the way, (by the way). Also, good luck in your search! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Ak-47 49 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I have been hearing the Saigas are coming in December. I just hope they are btween $350-380. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shootsmuch 9 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 isnt the Izhmash plant in Russia closing, that will put an end to all Saigas in any cal i would think??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unknown Poster 5 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Rumor has it the izmash factory has been bailed out by the goverment. I hope its true. I still believe the "brand new" russian izmash saiga is the hottest buy on the planet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Izhmash will never close. They've been bailed out countless times over the years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I still believe the "brand new" russian izmash saiga is the hottest buy on the planet. I agree 100%. Even with having to convert, at least in the end you have it the way you want it.

muvef 3 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I just emailed Centerfire Systems. I've had one on backorder for 3 months. They have "no ETA whatsoever on Saigas". Hopefully they will come in soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grimm100 13 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 And to think I just sold a 20 inch .223 for $425 locally to fund another build. I am going to heaven Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tchick 52 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 I couldn't wait any longer. I picked up a converted Saiga from J&G Sales this evening. They had 2 left in stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian M1 50 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 IMHO, Buds gun shop is pretty good indicator or what's available. They have ZERO Saigas available at the moment (due to political climate). Whatever they get in, you can expect to sell within the day (thanks to the re election).

131Johan131 5 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 I just got back from the local Dunhams sporting goods store amd they had tons of saiga .223 in stock as well as 7.62, kind of weird, first time i have ever seen them there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xrtrlrider 5 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 yup no joke here took me about 5 or 6 months to find one all i could find was a used one...every shop i talked to either said "i can't get one" or "we used to sell them, we have the 12 guages" or "ill have a few in at the end of the week".....finally got one ordered, after bugging the hell out of my most local dealer, got it for $415!!! crazy, i said screw it paid the $ and was then happy....a few weeks later pass and my buddy finds one for $350! really?!

muvef 3 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) What was the price at Dunham? We have one locally here and they have good prices on there guns. Everything else seems high though. Edited November 11, 2012 by muvef Quote Link to post Share on other sites
