Steven Stallings 4 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Hello Forum Saiga 12! I have a question, how is the Primary Market like Atlantic Firearms Classic, AOA, these big online retailers getting there hands on more Vepr 12 Shotguns when they have been banned? Are they Truly banned? or has the Vepr 12 been still coming in? Thanks. -STEVEN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aeromat209 24 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I think the ban is for future imports . The import process can take quite awhile and the ones we are seeing now have been in the works for some time . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DramaticGnome 1 Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I can't remember where I read it but there are rumors that a private buyer may be buying out kalashnikov concern which could mean that importation could start back up because the company was no longer owned buy the russian gov. It'd be great if it ends up being true because I was looking forward to all the products that were in the works for importation, including the saiga branded vityaz 9mm, and an AEK.

Yup--here's the story I read concerning such--I am excerpting the quote: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/09/foghorn/kalashnikov-concern-plans-skirt-us-import-ban-selling-company/ From Reuters: Russia’s Rostec, a state-owned conglomerate hit by Western sanctions over Ukraine, will sell a small arms factory to a businessman who is not blacklisted to allow further sales to Europe and the United States, officials and sources said…. Created in 2007 by President Vladimir Putin, (Rostec) owns Kalashnikov, the maker of the Ak-47 assault rifle used in conflicts around the world. Parties to the deal told Reuters that businessman Andrei Bokarev will buy 75 percent of Rostec’s Izhmekh plant, whose products include hunting rifles and sporting guns. Happy Holidays, pt92 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DramaticGnome 1 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 The only reason he was able to pass a ban on russian firearm imports in the first place was using the excuse that it wasn't a gun ban it was to try to stop russia from occupying the ukraine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
