$310???
in 7.62x39, those things were on sale for $159 just about 2 months ago. the saiga is a nice rifle...well made and well detailed. function problems are very rare. if you even have a remote chance of converting one to military style furniture...trust me, you should by one of the several available factory conversions up front. it's actually cheaper and more hassle free to go this route. if you are just gonna use it for plinking, light varmint work, self-protection...the usual truck gun chores...the hunting rifle styled saiga is perfect, as is. they are quite comfortable to shoot. shop around, or perhaps one of the guys on the board can point you to a lower price. |

Thats the lowest I've been able to find the .223 for. Yes, I know the 7.62 is around 200 delivered but want to stick with the 223 caliber, for the hell of it.
Thanks |

I saw two tables at the last weekend's show with pistol grip Saigas in 223 for $440 range, and the mags wobbled badly from left to right in the receiver.
Just another data point to refer to... |

You can get one 7.62 Saiga on the auction sites. Then there is the 20 shipping and 20 FFL fee. But it sounds like you want a conversion, that will run another 350 dollars. These will accept standard AK mags and are called Ak 103. However, the stock Saiga only accept 10 rd mags, but you could modify them to accept pre-ban mags, but then you have to put some USA parts in there to make it all legal.
Hope this helps |

ok conversion costs too much. ill just have to get a SAR. however humor me this. for a short range tactical weapon wouldnt a KELTEC SUB 2000 be a better choice in every way except range and single shot stopping power. the lack of stopping power is almost outweighed by a much quicker follow up shot from a low recoil pistol caliber isnt it? and most confrontations ar well inside the sub's 150 yard effective range. more like 99.999 percent of all encounters whether the gun is used or not.
