Saiga Ban

Hopefully they won't do the same to Molot. I've been eyeing the VEPR-12 for a while. I've read a lot of positive things about them, although I think they're a little overpriced.

Molot is a subsidiary of Kalashnikov Concern. Falls under the same sanction as I understand it.

5.45 rifles are still easy to get.

Had a customer transfer a Vep-12. They're pretty heavy, it seemed much heavier than the Saiga 12 I used to have for some reason, but it also seemed pretty solid and well built. I wouldn't mind owning one.

As for the Vepr's in 54R, I've talked to several people who own them and they ahve all said they're amazingly accurate, I was surprised but it seemed to be the first thing all of them told me when discussing the rifle.

I got 4 Colt magazines AR magazines for $54 this week. I ordered 2 from Grab a Gun for $18 each since they aren't more than most other metal mags... and I bought a Colt AR to match. So they accidentally pulled 4. So the guys there let me have the other 2 half because I was honest and said I just ordered the 2. I guess I could've stolen them, but that's pretty lame IMO. The price I got on the Colt AR and Ruger 10/22 made it well worth my time too. I also got some more Sig 1911 mags as well. They are less than Wilson and run perfectly in my Sig 1911.

I will be ordering more from them. I will not ever buy another firearm at Academy. It just takes too damn long, and then to have to perp walk after purchase is just another annoyance. It takes too many people and too much time to finish a firearm transaction there. I will watch GaG, the local advertisers here, TGT and gunshows.

So a bunch of people ordered 5.45 saigas last night from CTD. Today CTD cancelled all of their orders so they can sell the guns at a higher price.

Why people still deal with CTD is beyond me. This is like the 4th time in 5 years that they have done this crap.

That actually made me laugh.

[CJ]

Yeah, at first I just dismissed the common held notion they were terrible people, but over the last few years, it's become apparent they are crooks.

CTD is terrible about price gouging. I don't buy from them anymore.

As for Saiga, I am super sad. I Saiga 12 was on my list of want items. If I'd have known this was going to happen, I'd have gotten one this week instead of the AK I got an the AR...

[svauto-erotic855]

Who makes those?

China; Norinco I believe.

[CJ]

ugh, I want one, but just can't justify it... all my 54R ammo is surplus... the thought of cleaning an AK just doesn't feel right

It actually sickens me to even consider such a thing.

[Cooter]

I just sold my last Vepr. I had 5 in stock. They went fast. They were 7.62x54.

[likeitfast55]

Unfortunately not. I checked with all my wholesalers and nobody stocks VEPRs for some reason.
