Official NO MORE SAIGA 12's Imported thread.


Recommended Posts

horror.gif Yes I figured why not try to go ahead and nip it in the bud now... start ONE thread for everyone to come and freak out in, rather than sit back and watch two or more "WHAT?? NO MORE S-12's!!??" threads pop up every single day. I do find it kinda strange that I just scanned over the first two pages in the S-12 and General forums and only saw one thread about the Izhmash name change. SGM started it and as of right now it sits on the second page with no replies? All the past chicken little type "Will Saigas Be Banned??" threads we've had to sit through over the past several years and now they are officially about to cease to exist and still nothing?? Did I miss something? Admittedly I've been too busy lately at home to keep up much on the forum but this is a shocker to me.

 

So... How about it? Can we try to kill a few birds with one thread here?

The Obvious questions:

1. So how many are still left or in transit now from mother Russia?

2. Who has Saiga 12's in stock and how many? Prices??

3. Will the Vepr's also become non existent now that they finally got up & running good here? Will Molot and Izzy come together under the new "Kalashnikov Concern" name brand? Or just Izhmash and Izhmekh? And WTF is up with that 'Conserve' part anyway? 004.gif

4. Most importantly of course... Will there be a new sporter/ neutered line of guns imported or will this be a new excuse for our socialist gubment to cease all imports from Russia?? tinfoilhat.gif

Well... let the freakouts and price hikes begin! lol! boxing.gif022.gifkenny.gif

They also had two 7.62 saigas these were all new recent imports. And no im not confused with the catamount fury.

 

In my metro atlanta area there has been no lack of S12s in stores or shows. They dont seem to be flying off the shelf since they never seem to work right out of the box. (Sarcasm). The toughest thing for me to find are any of the rifles.

(4) My concern is how will this effect production? I care less about what name is engraved on the rifle. And since little has been trickling out of the factory for sometime now I want to look on the bright side and see this as a sign the Russians are getting their shit together. With the strong US demand for their rifles I hope capitalism keeps the S-12 and the rest of their lines in production. Time will tell...

 

(2) Edited: Local shop has one Iz-109 for $780 and one Iz-132 for $580. Not bad since you always pay more up here and I wasn't expecting to come across them in the first place.
