I have a saiga 12, and I have absolutely no inclination for a 410 or 20 gauge saiga shotgun.
I would recommend, however, getting it converted to look like mine:  And getting a 20 round drum for www.mdarms.com while they're still decently priced and in the pre-production phase. I do have a saiga 7.62x39 in the works, and I do want a 308 saiga eventually. Other shotgun calbers? Bleh. If I were suddenly rich I might get a SBS saiga 12 from tromix, but other than that... |

165 is in no way decently priced. There is alot of gouging going on with the ak side

1) .308 is not a caliber i want to get back into (just got out of it)
2) cant convert to pgrip config being I am in NY right now 3) cant buy high cap drum mag for it legally 4) I dont support the high caps and drums for Saigas being they will surely make them into DD's per ATF standards/outlines/text. Its only fucking ourselves over. Soooo yeah

I'd go for the 20ga. Cheaper ammo than the .410 (more like 12ga), light recoil like the .410 Saiga.
If I could find a 19" 20ga, it would replace my wife's 410. BTW Diet- check your CN IMs. |

They'll reclassify them if they want anyhow. I wouldn't not buy a drum (if I could legally) just because they might get reclassified. There are other people out there that will buy them and it will happen anyhow...so why not get in on the fun.

eh price..and practicality. just going to be a range toy... kind of like justifying a Chinese AK drum vs stocking up on euro 30rnders....huge price diff, and capacity isnt all that much more fantastic. (traded off all 3 of my drums after I realized they are just novelty items). and u CAN buy a drum legally, your in PA!

I know if I had a Saiga 12 I'd have at least one of them drums. 20rnds of 00 Buck is 9 thirty some caliber pelets per shell. That's alot of firepower. Hell it's 180 projectiles in maybe 12 seconds. You could tear up some targets with that. Good to see you finally got that Saiga though. You've been wanting one of those for a while. Why not get some 10rnders for that thing! Those should be NY legal. Better yet...move to PA!

I want a Saiga 12 and will buy one at the next gun show on the 27th. Thing is, I want it with the pistol grip conversion, so it wouldn't look out of place next to the rest of my AKs. Who will do this and for what price?
