Thread: why can't I get a saiga 308?

As alternative I have a few Saiga M100s in 308. They come with a 3 shot magazine (possibly two but its been a while since I unpacked one to check). They are based on the Saiga but are modified at the factory to be more of a sporting rifle. Not as good as BARs but not as dear either at about $950 new from memory

They have
Cross bolt (push button) safety
Open sights with a 20 inch barrel
3 round flush fit detachable magazines
A different stock shape. This means they are NOT compatible with other Saiga accessories including magazines. Whther this can be altered I dont know for certain, but I expect it wont be easy.
And the gas tubes are enclosed within the stock arrangement.
Detachable ring type scope mount is also included and they are compatible with the Belarus type mounts with weaver rails.


Down side is they are not light, and not pretty, They are very reliable, and Russian......

Email me or PM me your email address and I can send photos if you like. I cannot do it right now as I dont have access to one at the moment but that will only take a few days.

Check out this link for a photo. The 4th one down, you will see the 100 series.....

Have you ever thought of importing the second ones down? They look awesome. 4th down are to weird looking.
