Amen...they are no better in any way...other than slightly better finish work, and if that was the goal I would go with a rifle that looks good to begin with (read: not an AK).Oh, you want aesthetics.
Waste your money on an Arsenal, then.
So what about when they return to the regular price of ~$1200 ?Kurt D said:I promise it will be more than the current $500 asking price.
To continue this thread hijack:Uncle Mike said:Whats up with the Yugo M70's being offered in a 'thick' receiver and a 'thin' (1mm thickness) receiver?

ETA: for the haters - price out a standard Saiga, plus all of the parts (correct parts, not WECSOG) to get it to the SGL's level
The only difficult part getting it back to AK looks is the handguard and gas tube.
I agree. Both. It's got to do better than your 401KGet "both"... I just picked up my SGL21 (Arsenal factory Saiga conversion) for $555.44 out the door, all shipping and transfer included...
Yeah, I'm real dissatisfied that I wasted my money on an Arsenal. (sarcasm there).
On a serious note, so far my opinion is that it is worth every penny over a WASR. I'll see how it shoots this weekend...
I'm actually tempted to get a second one. This is the AK I've been looking for at the price I've wanted, ever since I sold my VEPR.
while I like the look of the standard setup better, I actually like the feel of the Saiga hand guard better when shooting.
why are they highlighting the bayo lug on a gun with ak74 style brake?
It's not a bayonet lug.D Boone said:Just my quick take, good looking gun, but why are they highlighting the bayo lug on a gun with ak74 style brake? The bayo lug should be on the FSB to be functional. So its a mismash of parts and thats how they can offer them at that price?
My converted Saiga in 7.62 x39 is by far my fav gun...
