I had it all. I had all "my bases" covered. Home defense, personal defense, and even Zombie defense. SHTF, Bug-out, Bug-in, HITB, HUTB, Martial Law, Mexican invasion, Alien invasion, Mother-in-law invasion, name it!

ARs, 1911s, 870s, 500s. Hell, I even bought a dog. An Akita. Even bought my 7yo daughter a Crickett with a compact scope.

About a month ago, a friend brought to my attention I was lacking a "major SHTF" caliber. A 7.62x39. Dare he question my arsenal? That ignoranus! We had a few beers. I called my buddy in Charleston, SC:

Me: Sup, dawg?
Homie: Not much. Just chillin'.
Me: Tard says I need a 7.62.
Homie: You do.
Me: Et tu, Brute?
Homie: Yes. And stfu. Get a Saiga.
Me: A who?
Homie: A Saiga. Google it dipshit. I got a .223. Love it.
Me: Thanks, Bro. And tell your wife and my kid "Daddy says hello."

<CUT TO THREE WEEKS AGO>

Jeeze. I guess ya'll know how hard those have been to find lately. I found out.

But, Hero (that's me) found one. At a gun show this past weekend. $295 out the door. Not bad all things considered.

Anyways, here I go again. New platform. New expenses. I don't care. I hope my wife does leave me.

Uhhh, I bet you got the 7.62mm didn't you? Well, you also need something for short range home defense so you'll need a Saiga 12 also. And you really, really need at least one Tromix SBS...

Welcome to the club! But the worst ain't even over yet!
Soon you will be wanting one of each.

Just wait til you get your hands on a Saiga-12!

I'm sorry. Did you say something?

My attention is on your avatar.

Good, now throw out the AR-15 and the pump shotty, and replace them with a Saiga 223 and a Saiga 12. You know you want to.

I get that a lot!

welcome to the saiga club. when you doing your conversion. also what caliber did you get?

I knew that was gonna make a good avatar for someone....

Heh, it WAS you! I typed out a response which credited you in another thread but the posting failed and it was lost. I thought it was you that popped up with that suggestion and since I needed an avatar...

Glocker can hijack pretty much any thread with just his avatar. He could just post a "?" and guess what? Topic changed...
Indy use to do the same thing with his Christina avatar.

Oh! and BTW. Welcome and congrats to Seven©. Sounds like you have some well informed homies. Now; if you want a man's rifle, go ahead and get the .308, convert it, and get about 10 FBMG mags. You'll never ever need Viagra again and the "Smilin' Bob" commercials will seem childish and silly.
Again - Welcome to the Dark Side...
[We hooked us another one, boys...]

I saw a x39 Saiga at a gun show a couple of weekends ago for about that.

Sorry, you are not a true Saiga convert until you have a Saiga-12. Now those things are as addictive as crack. Being able to dump 10 rounds (soon to be 20) of 12 gauge as fast as you can pull the trigger definitely gets everyone's attention.

Of course, things go down hill QUICKLY from there: RedDragon .308, S-.410, a couple of 7.62s, S-12s, ..... Damn, I didn't realize I had that many Saigas until I started typing this..... Ouch, I am an addict....

Once you get a Saiga 12 its all over but spending a shit load of money to make it a lean mean killing machine

I have had Glockers avatar for a while saved, but have yet to be able to make it a moveable gif desktop When she is not moving she is cute, but it just aint the same

Edited for my usual spelling mistakes

Welcome aboard.

Welcome to the party, your gonna need more money.

Thanks for all the welcomes.



Got a x39. Cobra is helping me plan some stuff now. I can't buy a gun and leave it alone.





Hey, I've cut my beer drinking down to a six pack a night because of a gun habit. That's the best I can do. Somethings gotta take the edge off the wife.

Well, then, you've come to the right place. The rest of us can't leave a gun alone, either.

In that case, Grasshopper, you have found your home... Now get to work....

Yup, it's all true. Thanks to this board, I find myself looking longingly at Saiga-12s now. It's an addiction, all right, but it's not as bad as some, and at least you can get some money back out of it - if you can ever be persuaded to SELL any of your toys, that is!

Oh dammit macbeau! You went and did it again! Posted that Galil again and got my mouth all waterin.....drooool....
I gotsta have me one a dem some day!

One day, I'll have to scoot up your way and let you spend some "quality time" with it... I'll even bring all the fun accessories I have for it. (It's almost the Mr. Potato Head of the gun world).
I have been meaning to make that trip for a while now. Hopefully, sometime this summer...
