Factory PG .223s in MD


Recommended Posts

Are these Hesse conversions? I know of no Saiga rifles that were previously imported other than in the approved sporting configuration (i.e. no pistol grips or threaded muzzle devices). Who is the importer stamped on the receivers?

 

Or is this the RAAC SBS equivalent in the newly imported rifles? :haha::haha::haha:

They are not Hesse. They are stamped EAA.

 

I will go to the shop tomorrow and try to take some pics.

Saigas are listed by name as a sporting rifle in the ATF regs due to their configuration and limited capacity.

 

I guarantee you these were not imported with a PG unless someone exported the US parts to Russia for use in their assembly, or had all of these rifles assembled with enough US parts in a 'free trade zone/bonded warehouse' prior to being released to the US market. Regardless, they are not 100% Russian because it would violate the 1989 ban, our 1993? trade agreement with Russia as well as the 1998 Ruling on LCMM rifles per the USAG and ATF.

Hesse's are stamped EAA as they used EAA Saigas to build from. At least the one I've seen...
