Brand new Saiga 12.... $535

[DGI]

went to the cop shop today (no affiliation) and they have a brand new saiga there for $535... drums for ~$70... talk about buyers remourse... i paid more for my gun and drums... oh well...

Looks like i'll have to buy a couple of pistols at their amazing prices to make up for it

 

[tttongli]

what kind of drum?

 

[DGI]

MD Arms

 

[Numidian]

Thats the shop that only sells to military and LEOs right?

 

[DGI]

nope... they are open to the public... just have different prices for law enforcement...

 

[IlikeNFA]

are you sure they are brand new MDarms drums for $70 and not promags? ill be running people over in traffic if they are the MD's...

EDIT: they dont show the drums on their website, but do show the Saiga's and at the price of 535. However, the picture they show has two Saiga's...on unconverted and one converted...535 unconverted is average but can be had for ~$50 less. But thats a darn good converted price. Prez, can you perhaps let us know if its converted or not along with clarifying on the drums?

I just purchased an uncoverted Saiga 12 from The Gun Shop in Essex for $493. the price for the drum is excellent. I may have to stop in tomorrow.

$493 before or after tax?

Sammy told me it was an MD drum but he didnt have any to show me. I already have two anyway. The price of $535 is unconverted but there is a guy he knows around annapolis that can do the conversions if anyone is interested.

 

[bc1969]

$493 before or after tax?

Yes before taxes. Give them a call. They seem to get them in on a regular basis.

I forgot to mention that I stopped in The Cop Shop yesterday and the drums they have for sale are ProMag.

 

[tttongli]

so how's promag drum?

 

[wlc]

Can someone explain what conversions are done and the benefit of them?

 

[rob-cubed]

so how's promag drum?

No major complaints from anyone who's tried the ProMag drums, but lots of skeptics. Their AK and S-12 mags are inferior. MD Arms is still running their $100 pre-order special, I'd get one of those instead.

Can someone explain what conversions are done and the benefit of them?

Primarily, conversion from Monte Carlo-style stock to pistol grip (back to the way Izshmash intended it to be). But there are tons of other mods from custom flash hiders to magwell conversions to left-side bolt handles and beyond.

BTW, K-Var has an outstanding sale on S-12s running right now. Get one for only $469!!!

Wish I had the flow to get a second one.

FWIW: i ordered two MD Arms drums for my new saiga and they dont fit. other MD arms drums didnt fit either... its no big deal as they can be easily modified but just throwing it out there. (factory mags and my 12 round mags fit just fine... )
