I'm wondering if any THR'ers have bought/fired this Russian semiauto(I'm considering the 7.62X39 caliber). I want a fun range-target-plinker. The MSRP is about the same as an SKS in near-new condition.

Thanks!

I was looking at those also, and would like to know how they shoot.

If its their hunting rifle look AK they're great.I own a 16" and 20" 7.62x39.The 100 designation is whats throwing me.:confused:

Are you talking about the Saiga rifles? If so, get one, they are great. I personally dont own one, but I love 'em. As well as not hearing any complaints on them, You can get the 762x39 model from CDNN for $159.

it looks like it has a new furnature, a new trigger guard and a push button safety

Ugh, looks like that model is not going to be as easy to convert it to be have a pistol grip as the normal models. I hope they dont stop production on the true-AK-reciever ones.

Now that I'm all pumped to buy this inexpensive rifle, I go to the California DOJ website to make sure it's CA O.K.: the site has a list of HANDGUNS, but I can't find an "approved" rifle list/it's too late to call the local gunshops/....I sure hope this carbine is CA legal, cause I'm ready to buy one at the CDNN price! :uhoh:

Thanks for responses....... :cool:

Being built on the AK action I believe it is banned in Kali.

before I Moved from Kalli "Anything" made by Kalashnikov[sp?] was illegal for anyone to own.
If I remember correctly they banned all Russian made Guns...(no Idea why)
Can't remember if it was only in certan countys or the whole state, but knowing kalli it's the whole state....

With a magazine of 10, and a cartridge less devastating than most "hunting" calibers, it just figures that the A-Hole CA Governor and his minions decide to throw logic out the window because the Saiga is based on the "Commie" assualt rifle. Why is it, then, that I can own a "CA Legal" SKS?????:cuss: Why is the M1 Carbine legal? Why ask why?

OH, I just remembered why I can't own one....I am a law abiding citizen:banghead:

They're legal because the liberals haven't succeeded in banning them yet. But they're trying oh yes they are.

Yea, but in factory configuration it sure looks a lot better than the previous model. It's actually fairly attractive. It looks kind of like a modern SKS.
