Who sells the Saiga in 5.45?

[hd]

I haven't seen any ads for them in this caliber or 223. Who has got them and for how much. I know that Classic sells the regular for 199. Would like to find one for around that price.

they dont make a saiga in 5.45 as of yet, they have plans for a 223 version, but i havent seen any anywhere or any for sale
might be awhile before they get enough for importation

I was under the impression that they did. So are the ones that I have seen converted to pre-ban style a reworked 7.62 with a 5.45 parts kit put onto the receiver? Thanks.

B-WEST advertised a 5.45 Saiga back in late 94. I called them and asked where to get one. I was told that they where sent to their distributors. I called all of them and was told that they did not have any.

I think they are out there, but could never find one, or get anything solid about where they went.

According to teh Izhmash homepage Saiga's are made in 5 calibers:
7.62x39mm, 5.45x39mm, 5.56x45mm, 7.62x51mm, and a wierd 5.6x39mm round.

Now, what's been imported to the US is likely a different story.
