Saiga Pics...

[KWB52]

I just noticed the new forum :up: figured I'd share a few pics...

The following are a few pages that I scanned from the 2004 IZHMASH Catalog.

New offering that was released last year, the Saiga 12C EXP-1 (this model has become quite popular)

very nice, now if only we'll be able to get them in here. even if they neuter the Saiga12 like before, if they keep the FSB setup, I'd be very happy.

Yes, it's too bad about all of the ridiculous (unconstitutional) laws restricting us from being able to import/own some of the finer products that companies like IZHMASH have to offer. :mad: :(

I have more really nice shots of the 12C EXP-1 that I'll try to get scanned & posted.

Here's another from the '04 IZHMASH Catalog...

will any of these be available in the U.S. and when?

Not very likely in any of those configs anyway, not unless the "sporting Use" clause is removed.

Or if Izhmash and other manufacturers were smart,they would put
FOR SPORTING USE,somewhere on all of their literature.
Another shotgun company, FRANCHI did. S.P.A.S. 12.
The abbreviation S.P.A.S. is Sporting Purposes Automatic Shotgun.
Their manual and parts list had Sporting Purposes,clearly written on them.
It is believed they avoided being classified as DESTRUCTIVE DEVICES
by the A.T.F. because of those documents stated they were for sporting purposes. Search, definition combat shotgun on YAH_O find result Why is a SPAS a SPAS.
If some govt agencies want to play word games,the manufacturers should get off the bench and get in the game.
