gunfun 3,931 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 A little of both. Also people are more aware of .410 as a worth while round after good ammo was developed for judge. Then the 30 round drum came out.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
filthygovemploye 64 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 i wonder aboot dock workers striek out in cali no? think it could be partially that?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
echoside190 127 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 They've always been kind of scarce in my neck of the woods. If I was to take a guess I'd say it's mostly from growing demand, and they might not be producing them at a rate anywhere near some of their other calibers. The dock strikes could play a roll but it isn't as likely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

joker1656 0 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hey! I just bought my Saiga 12 yesterday. With the factory mag it functions like a $2500 gun. The two Surefire 12 rounders both failed to pop the rounds up to feed, and then broke within 10 rounds. They broke in the exact same spot, right at the front lip. Anyway, I like the 12 so much, I was considering going back and picking up the .410. My gun shop has one in for $475. Apparently, that is a pretty fair price, considering this thread. Does the .410 function just as well as the 12? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
well2160 42 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I've got one, my 2 brothers and my dad each have one. They have actually required less work than the 4 S-12's and one 20 that are owned amongst us. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
im_n2_vws 28 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) The thing I have a problem with is the cost of ammo. Evan before the "big scare" ammo for these wasn't cheep. But other than that they are great and fun to shoot. But as far as price goes, have you seen Classic Arms price on Saiga 7.62x39 rifles? WOW Edited February 3, 2013 by im_n2_vws Quote Link to post Share on other sites

im_n2_vws 28 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I feel bad for the guys who waited or couldn't afford them before. But as far as I'm concerned, I like the fact that mine has almost doubled in price since I bought it($300). My wife says it's not an investment if you have no intention of selling. But to me they are like having gold in my safe. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dubya 198 Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 My 76 year old FFL guy has an unconverted one he's had in the safe unfired for awhile. I think I might see if he wants to sell it.

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 The 410 Saiga is a jewel in the rough. Many don't give it the attention it really deserves. The Russians have long respected it and used it in Law Enforcement and Military applications. There are many old pics of it in use by officials there, as well as Greece, and probably other places. The .410 with a 97 grain Russian Barnaul slug (or a Brenneke 114 gr) is a damn awesome weapon. That's all I shot through my '99 K-USA imported .410 was Barnaul steel cased slugs, and the Brenneke ones, for the first few yrs I owned it. They have a distinct "crack" like the sound of a rifle... vs. that of a shotgun 'boom'. The .410 barrel is also very close to the same O.D. as the popular AK-47 or 74. You should know what that means. Very easy to fit with any type of AK furniture or parts you have the talent and gumption to make work. My first Saiga was my .410. It currently sports a regular ol K Var Nato stock, and custom vented HG, with the Russian orthopedic PG. Tony Rumore made the very first US made S-410 Saiga -.410 '74 style brake for it, by modifying and boring out an AK brake I sent him. Only thing left to do now is finish what I started, and fit the thing into one of my AMD-65 kits. Again... the barrel O.D. is very close. I'll bore one of my snake brakes to fit the .410 load as well. This project will soon see completion. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have all the parts I think I need to convert my gas system to look like an arsenal SGL style .410. I have the gas tube, AK74 front and rear sight block, 74 gas block and the handguard retainer . I was a little concerned about what 74 style brake to use. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zoub 0 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) You mean tripled. As I recall I paid $190 for my .410 back in 2000. I paid $310 for my .308 Edited March 20, 2013 by Zoub Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 You mean tripled. As I recall I paid $190 for my .410 back in 2000. I paid $310 for my .308 My uncle bought a brand new Saiga 7.62 and 500rds of Wolf ammo for a whopping $125 in 2003, stuck it in the safe and forgot about it. 3 months ago I remembered seeing it and figured I could get it cheap off him. $300 he charged me for the basically new rifle and all the ammo. He was happy he doubled his money and I was happy I got a deal! He actually had a buddy call him about 30 min after I did asking to buy it, offered him $600 and he turned it down because we made a deal first. Good uncle if you ask me!

Sdustin 578 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 619 fr the .410 at my local gun store. They had 2 and one x39 for 7 something. I didn't pay much attention since I wasnt going to buy it. I mad a point to look at the .410 since I saw this thread that same day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sohei 10 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Saw a beat up used 20 ga Saiga in stock configuration for $850 at a local gun store. Major gouging. Another store a short ways away had several new 12 ga for $650. Not bad. All of them are long gone now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Im not sure, they still have one for $699 lol. Its a used 2003 model. I asked why the price was different and they said the two S410's came from different Gander's and they just kept the prices.

unclejake 428 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 After doing a couple of 410 builds, I am definitely going to get one IF they ever come down. Cobra you are right about slugs through them! I used several boxes of them on the last build to check feeding and that is one wicked round! Wished I would have bought one when they were affordable!

awgmann 0 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 We have 6 units of unconverted saiga 410k's available with the factory folding buttstock. Are the buttstocks just tack welded into the open position with all of the operating parts functional or have the folder parts been removed and the stock really welded up along the entire contact point?
