Next Gen Saiga
So Atlantic Firearms is selling these along with a few other sites. This version is 7.62... I want to know when the 5.45 is going to hit the market. Anyone know?!? Links?
Wow, makes a conversion that much easier.....

Not worth it...they want $479 for that instead of $349 for standard forend.
FSB - $45
Lower HG retainer - $15
HG - $30
your time to do it = ????
May be cheaper to start with theirs if you don't want the lugs. I do though, so this conversion means nothing to me. I'd re-do most of it anyway. For someone who doesn't care, and just wants to do a quick trigger conversion, this is a great start!
I would do one of those for a quick conversion. My ideal caliber for the model would be a .223. If you want something that looks like an AK front end but don't need the bayonet this ain't a bad model. Just wish they would knock the price down to $400.

or have it in 5.45
We hope to see some 5.45 x 39 units in later this year if the Russians get moving we are offering this model for $450 range and have them in stock.
$459 plus free shipping is our current deal on these rifles . Below is a brief You Tube Video.

OMG or the .223 Model.
The .223 model would be a GAME CHANGER
No more people price gouging SLR-106's for $900 on the EE!
The front converted Saiga is still too expensive, however.
Uncompleted Saiga's are still too expensive, too.
The current price of an Arsenal is around $740 shipped at some places. You're talking tons of parts, including the 74 brake and the expertise of their build.
I've converted two Saigas and ended up spending $800 on each to get them where I wanted. The SGL is a priced well for $750.
If you don't want the front end converted, going with a $299 Saiga is the way to go.
No, dimples

Looks good if you intend to convert the front end...
I just ordered a 5.45 sporter from JG sales. $300... KVAR has a conversion kit for $85 less the bullet guide which shouldn't be more than $15. For $400 a nice functional AK pattern rifle. The front end doesn't matter much to me.
I do plan on bumping it up to an ACE folding stock and possibly either an ultimak rail or the TWS rail/cover and some manner of small dot sight.
Will 5.45 rifles be offered at the same price point as the 7.62 rifles?
We do not know the exact prices at this time but expect them to similar to the 762 x 39 units .

I bought one from Atlantic a few weeks ago. Yes the lugs are ground flat, but I could honestly give two shits about bayonet lugs.
Bayonet lugs to me is like having the M4 grenade launcher cutout on the barrel. I would only ever use an attached bayonet for looks...
Haven't shot mine yet, but I like it so far as it is my first AK

Oh no, it's lacking a purely cosmetic feature.

How come Arsenal hasn't done a conversion job for 5.56 Saigas like they have for every other caliber in the SGL series? Why isn't there a 5.56 Arsenal SGL... ummm 51 or something? is it that they have no problem making the SLR-106?

Seriously, bro?
I would buy one in a heartbeat.

Any word on when you will have these in? I've been watching your website for them and havent seen anything yet.

While you're working on that, can you see if they will ever import a .22LR version?
