Maybe little or no Saigas coming from Mother Russia

[The_Matrix 105]

Saw this from a reply from Atlantic Firearms. Don't sell unless you really want to or just don't want one.

 

"There are no large numbers of Saigas coming in the US due to issues at the Russian factory it may be a long time before we see cheap & plentiful Saiga rifles and shotguns on the market"

 

and....

 

"Due to the unpredictable situation it is hard to know what will be available in Jan etc We are working hard with the Russians , Importers and Krebs to get more rifles to market but it is all up in the air at this point. The Russian factory was also going under a financial Chapter 11 style deal and has downsized their production in the last 6 -8 months all of this is a Perfect Storm of not getting many Saiga based firearms in the US. The factory can come out with all kinds of neat & new items but most of those are not aimed at the US market."

I call bull. They have been going through bankruptcy for over a year. I think the distributor is playing games.

I have been hearing this for at least 5 years already with Saiga going out of business and in bankruptcy. Its total BS.

[BlueLineFish 615]

The bankruptcy was true but American gun sales carries their company. Something like 82% of products come here

I was just about to Post this. Ihzmash does IIRC between 83% and 85% of its business now as Exports for the civilian market

[RecessedFilter 222]

Eh believe it of you may. We've been hearing of izzys troubles for years. Plus with all.the saiga demand, they cant be doing too bad.

[CageFighter 236]

If somewhere down the line you feel like 4 Saiga guns are too much for you to handle and want to let one of them go at reasonable price let someone know. Wink, wink, nug, nug.

[BlueLineFish 615]

Nah...they are all different calibers

[The_Matrix 105]

With all the stories out there about supply and demand, I am sometime not sure what to believe in?

[johnp 45]

Nah...they are all different calibers

 

5.45, 223, 7.62x39, 308/ Am I right?

[brocglock23 4]

Nah...they are all different calibers

ill admit. I'm jealous. I should have bought one back in September instead of my nano.

 

sent from hell with a smile.

hell they just announced that they are looking to export 9mm Carbines and a 107 Variant to the US market..although i dont expect to see any movement on that till after they see which way the Newtown aftermath falls
