Finally got a Saiga 12!

[lead_magnet]

So, today even in light of all the gun buying craziness, I decided to go to the gun store in pueblo to pick up some odds and ends. I immediately noticed that there were only 3 semi-auto guns left in the store, two .22LR AR-15 wannabees and a Saiga 12 which still had the factory paper tag hanging from it, and a safety flag in the bore. I figured with the long background wait times that those three were already sold, and waiting for a check to clear so they could be picked up. I got my shopping done, some OC for the wife, a few ranger plates for some Pmags and a weapon light when I go to checkout. I ask the salesman "that Saiga is sold right?" , he says "no". I look at the wife and ask "How much?". The wife made me return the other goodies I had picked out, but happily agreed to buying the Saiga, which they said they had placed on the shelf a mere 2 mins before my arrival. It was the shot barreled version (19") and was already converted to a pistol grip and standard AK buttstock. I'm somewhere north of the 10,000th in line on background checks, but hey. I get to bring this home sometime early next year maybe.



What are the chances of that? I should have bought a lotto ticket today.

Very nice. My Saiga 12 is one of my favorite firearms.

i'm hoping a vepr 12 wont just be a fantasy when the dust settles

I've got a Saiga 12 on my long list of dream guns... for when I have so much money I don't know what to do with it.

Congrats on the nice find!

Congrats Nice Find...... I had a chance to get one. I wish I would have picked it up now

Mine is in the safe fearful of the gun grabbers. Poor thing, she's frightened!

Damn !
I am suffering from sellers remorse now and am regretting selling the S-12 that I had a few months back.

To the member that bought my S-12, I hope that you are a kind hearted individual and have read the thread of the generous members buying firearms from others and selling them back to the original owners at a later date at the purchase price. After all, it is almost Christmas.
Hint, Hint..........

Are you going to pick up a drum or two now?

[tmleadr03]

I have wanted one since I read Monster Hunter International. I will one day have The Abomination.

I personally prefer the 10 and 12 stick magazines to the drums. They are lighter and they don't get in the way.
