I have seen quite a many Izhmash 47's and 74's on the market as I suspected right after the election and panic cycle crashed and burned.
Am I the only one noticing it ?? Looks like many fully converted Izhmash 74's for $800 range. I'm sure a few were 3rd quarter pickups from Fleet Farm. http://www.armslist.com/posts/627839...e---saiga-5-45 http://www.armslist.com/posts/629863...x39-ak74-iz240 http://www.armslist.com/posts/639269...-45-izh-saiga- I think a member just posted this one recently. http://www.armslist.com/posts/646602...um---cerakoted

I saw those, thought about them.
Especially the top one since it's not much of a drive. The price kept me away though.

Ehhh not so go good locally. At least nothing in 5.45 or 5.56. Then again this may not be a bad thing.

A fireman here locally sold an SGL20 as Saiga. They went to check prices online and he set price at $600.
I told my buddy it was worth way more. He got it for $550. smh!

Yeah those are the same rifles picked up for half that price less than a year ago. But still a good deal I guess considering.

If Trump gets Saiga's off the embargo list, we'll see prices return to a more palatable level.
Until then, the free market will set the price on Saiga's.

God when I found out about the sale for those I hit 3 different Fleet Farms. Hillary was good for business when she was running. I'm just glad I was able to sell them all before the election was over. I still see saigas 74s for sale on Gunbroker for 800-900, doubt they will ever get that or close. Funny thing is when you look at the people selling them: all their "locations" are listed in states that have Fleet Farms ![]() |

Even if Trump rescinds the sanctions on Rostec , you won't see SAIGA's for $300 again.
I would put $$$ on it. NRA would fight it tooth and nail because they will be funded heavily by those threatened by that price point. Plus.....I don't know if you noticed how much more Russian stuff is going for these days.....VEPR , Zenitco, etc.....insane markup

You found mine. Had it since 2010, definitely not a new purchase or one of those century conversions. http://www.armslist.com/posts/646602...um---cerakoted
In all seriousness don't hold your breath on the sanctions being lifted. Doubt anyone will lift a finger to help "Russian" business. NRA definitely won't. If magic happened and sanctions were lifted, I would guess saiga's would not sell for less than $599.

If you guys think the NRA wants to fight for or protect milsurp and AK collectors/shooters then you are fools.
NRA is in the FUDD gun and new modern black rifle and pistol markets hip pocket. They could give a damn less about us and matter of fact rather see russian imports go under to seize the competition for more domestic Fudd crap. Furthermore so many optimists here. Constant "sanction lifted" post and threads. Sorry to be a downer but it's not going to happen.

Doesn't matter if his old man Donald or Congress don't kill off Obama's executive order, and they or the ATF don't kill off GCA '68 and the Bush and Clinton Assault Weapons Bans provisions that still exist.
Biggest reason why prices are so low is hopes that Trump or Congress or the ATF will kill off some of these laws, and we don't have Obama trumping up fears of an assault weapons ban or moratorium and inducing panic buying. |

Was RWC importing Saiga 5.45's in 2009? I came across one that has RWC on the left side of receiver and a patch on the right side. Confusing to say the least.

I think a lot of people are hoping that Trump will repeal Obama's EO against Rostec and install ATF administrators who won't stonewall companies like FB Radom. The latter will probably happen. The former? Time will tell, but it seems that Trump's in no hurry to lift most of the sanctions against Russia.

I think if President Trump did anything favorable to US as AK buyers, and the Russians as AK producers, particularly regarding the sanctions, the howl from Big Corporate Media would be so insane and loud we'd all go as mad as they.
If it ever happens it will take time and will be done only after all the Russian dust settles. |

It's when the importers changed, so they scribed out the old importer name and remarked them. ![]()

There's an Arsenal slr106fr 5.56 for $850 locally. Have been thinking about it for a while now. Don't really need another 556.

I've been trying to get a 106FR from a member here. Unfortunately, he won't budge off of his $925 asking price. No thanks.

I recently bought a NIB SLR-106CR on GB for 950. Filed the form1 today. Seemed like a deal considering what a Bulgarian FS/GB combo alone sells for.
