RWC Saiga Converted AK47

[Mike69]

What's the true value of a New RWC Russian IZHMASH Saiga Converted AK47 IZ132SM? Have someone who wants to trade it and a New Walther P22 for my Browning X-Bolt Stainless Stalker 308 Win with Minox ZA5 3-15X42MM Scope. I understand that the Saiga AK47 is Banned now so the price has gone up but what about if/when the lift the ban. Any advice would be great. Thanks...

They will lift that ban at the same time that they lift the Chinese import ban and 1989 George Bush import ban.

[Mike69]

So would you fellas do the trade? My Browning X-Bolt Stainless Stalker 308 with Scope for a RWC Saiga Converted AK47 & a Camo Walther P22 both new in box?

[Moose242]

I wouldn't.

[Mike69]

I wouldn't.

Thanks!

Someone is bound to start making Saiga clones here eventually since there is a demand for them, and they would likely be cheaper than Saigas are now and easier to find. I am actually surprised no one is yet. Hell, they may be making them and I just don't know about it since I was never really interested in them.


Edit: There you go

That is the RWC Converted Saiga I am referring to. He messaged me this morning and is still interested in my rifle. He said he will throw $100 Cash on top of the new in box AK & Camo P22. Wonder if he would add more cash on his end.

So?

[YALE]

There's a board advertiser with a Saiga he might sell.

So?

So good luck finding extra magazines for it.

Use the internet to find them?

They aren't as easy to find as Saiga/VEPR magazines and the ones I could find don't seem to offer as much capacity.

The only real allure of the Saiga in the first place was that is was a real Russian gun as opposed to some other former com-bloc country.

The guns Arsenal is importing now from Bulgaria are just as good as Russian Saigas. The import ban has done absolutely nothing in the way of gun control or AK supply, but was a way for Obama to make a cheap shot at Putin in their cute little pissing contest.

Sounds like the answer to the OP's search. I know jack shit about Saigas so I just posted the first saiga-style gun I found on google.
