What was the average price for a saiga 12 before this debacle happened? Just wondering

in nj? 650-750

in the USA...650-750

availability was ALWAYS a problem

About 2 weeks before the SHTF I paid $640 at A-N-A for mine

Guess I got a deal two years ago, $450 brand new.

I just sold my last one yesterday for $650

thanks guys might look into one after the hysteria

About 2 weeks before the SHTF I paid $640 at A-N-A for mine

 

I bought mine in November before SHTF for like $700ish at CMO. I went in on Election Day to buy a bolt action tactical rifle for a sniper rifle build project. I had narrowed down my toy to either an AK or a Sniper Rifle. I went with the sniper rifle because I have an AK if necessary (got one for father's 60th bday a few years back) and I had no long range or precision capability Election Day NICS is closed so I went back next day. After buying the Remington 700 AAC-SD I went back about 3 days later and bought the Saiga 12 they had... They had had .410's for a while but said every time they got a 12 gauge it sold the day it went on the shelf, so I said, THATS IT, I want that and it will make a great 'Christmas Present'. I paid $700 i think maybe a little more.

 

 

 

IF ONLY I HAD KNOWN I would have bought the 2 or 3 they had in stock ... it's hysterical now, people are asking for $1500 plus other stuff right? Did I see an ad asking for $1200 cash plus a M590A1 + ammo or something like that?

Yeah I must have worded that wrong, I don't need to find one because I bought one... I got lucky , they not only just had got one but they got 2 so I got one literally new in box, we opened the box right in front of me to confirm serial number but it had been still wrapped up sealed in the yellow factory wrap-paper.

 

I also then spent a lot of dough on magazines, now I admit I bought ProMag magazines but I think I bought 6 or 7 of them. Even now they are basically impossible to find and going for a crazy amount. the Sucks part I fully intended to buy another 6 or 7 mags in Jan after things settled down (I spent like $2G's on this Christmas present all said so I needed to relax a little money wise) and get more accessories but then it happened and since SHTF I will prob not get any more mags at any price normally associated with Sanity. I am lucky, I got the Saiga 12 new, my Dad is exicted very very much he got the coolest home defense/combat shotgun that takes magazines etc. and we are pretty good setup with enough magazines to defend the house BUT- we would have been buying a lot lot more if not for SHTF.

 

 

 

For the person who just wanted a Saiga 12 recreation ally/casually and was waiting for after Christmas .... man that sucks for them.
