Wish I had money left after buying many rifles during this ban.

Thanks. Just grabbed one. I had to call to buy because the web setup process wouldn't let me go past a certain point.

It took a ban to get me to buy my first AK.

Will those take saiga magazines?

Saigas don't have a mag well, VEPRs and Catamounts do. They may have interchangeable mags, but not with Saiga's.

Copes has VEPR 12rd mags for $45

Pretty sure it's a proprietary mag.

The VEPR 12s had caught my eye a while back. Wouldn't mind having one but not worth $1300 now.

Missed the last Vepr .308 the other day. Just didn't get home in time to order one.

For me the tragedy is the saiga 762s. I love those things and swear by them. I have had the best luck out of them vs. any other ak platform out there.

Same here. I have two that i fully converted. One in combloc red wood and one in black poly with a skeleton stock. Paid 299 for the first one about 3 years ago and 425 for the second one a few months ago. Both are x39.

Had plans for a 5.45, and eventually a VEPR. Thats all shot to hell now.

Thanks for the link. Just ordered one. When I looked at about a dozen places the other night everybody was out. I could have sworn I had checked Centerfire Systems too, but maybe not.

You know, if these were fully functional shotguns out of the box and good for home protection, or hunting, I would say what a tragedy. However, they are really just fun to play with. The rifles may be something to get if you have always wanted one but I wouldn't jump on the shotty bandwagon. I believe some American companies are making a magazine fed shotty now anyways.

For anyone wanting a magazine fed shotty, you need to realize that the real weak point is in the shells. Anytime you have shells loaded one on top of the other with pressure involved you have the possibility of deformed shells that will not feed. I had ever mod in the book almost on my Saiga but if you left it in the corner with the slide forward it would deform the top three or four shells over time. My solution for a while was to leave the slide locked back. Then you have the recoil spring getting weaker over time. Not a huge concern but just not a throw in the corner and neglect pump. I do not regret buying and modifying the gun, I just know I would have done something else if I knew the end result. They can be made to be very reliable, but you have to know a lot of ins and outs to really get maximum use out of it.

For me the tragedy is the saiga 762s. I love those things and swear by them. I have had the best luck out of them vs. any other ak platform out there.
