Any fans of them here? The prices on these are through the roof lately.

I'd like to own one. Seams they have been gaining popularity lately more and more after market parts coming out... unlike another gun I've heard of...

Wasn't the ATF proposing a ban on them again because they're not "sporting"?

Tha's what Atlantic Firearms says on their site. I'd really like one but that is money i'm saving for an optic.

I've heard the same thing about the ban and have seen the prices go from an average $600-$700 to about a $1k+.

Seing as how they are of the Kalashnikov design, they are exceptionally reliable. With a few adjustments they are just as modular as any weapon system out there, unlike many semi auto shotguns that are limited due to their recoil system that sit inside of the stock.

i like the idea of a mag fed 12ga.

Yeah it'd make for quicker bulk reloads much faster. However it would make single slug changeovers more difficult.

I purchased one about 2 years ago for 400.00 bucks. Last time I took it to the range a guy offered me 1000 for it. I didn't sell it. He was ogling the Izmash stamps and Russian lettering.

Reliability is excellent when using high brass. Lower brass rounds require a break in period, a good magazine and possibly some gun work to cycle reliably. I could go to the range with my ACR and a SCAR and I would still get less attention than I do when I bust out the Saiga. I love that gun.

After initial conversion.
