Nice guns custom!

Ive had a Saiga AK for 6 years now.

Only shoot Wolf ammo thru it ( kinda dirty) .

It has never jammed on me yet.

i bought a 30 round clip for it at a gun show, it sometimes jams, but the 10 rounder never does.

Also bought a TAPCO arms adjustable stock, looks like a " real " AK now instead of a " sporting model".

Whats nice about these guns are they are built at the Original AK factory in russia by Izmash/ Kalashnakov ( Alex Kalashnakov is the father of the AK)

I bought my Saiga for 225 brand new , now they have more than doubled at the shows.

any updates? Those saiga 12s just seem like they'd be a badass for defense! Sheez!


And I'll prolly be laughed out of here but is an AK47 leaps and bounds ahead of a reasonable quality SKS? They both shoot the 7.62x39, right? Dad had an SKS for a while when I was younger and I remember it being a blast to riddle off multiple shots as fast I could pull the trigger. Is the AK just a superior platform or can each be setup to be pretty equal to one another?



Cool thread! :thumb:

Aren't there some Russian or Czech Sks that are suppose to be even better than the chinese varieties? Ours was Chinese iirc & never an issue.

I have not really messed with any of the saiga's lately, Just have not had alot of extra time. But I did add a couple things to the 12 since I started this thread, The other 3 are still just the way I bought them. Here's a couple pics of the Saiga 12 with the 10rd clip, scope, Tasco collapsible stock, and Tactical light..

yeah there is one that is better but I also dont remember the exact country, they also carry a nice price tag though...the yugo sks arnt very good though they vary greatly from each place of production

Also nice lookin saiga man this thread is bad I'm actually calling around looking for one...I've always wanted to get one but this kinda pushed me over the edge LOL:D

I shot a saiga w a 30 rnd drum, I'd say it's the 3rd nicest gun I've shot. First and sexing being a full auto mp5 and full auto glock.
