An odd question of the Saiga shotguns.

[Joshua Hutchison]

Ive heard it said the internet makes the world much more centralized when you look for information, and that seems true.

But ive yet to find out aprox. how many Saigas are in the country, ive heard numbers as low as a few thousand for the 12's alone! does anyone have any clue about how many may be floating around?

I myself own a plain ol' stock .410 variation, and you hear less about the .410 and 20's then the 12's!






I do hope they start importing them again because I want a 12 too

I would think there are more than a few thousand floating around. CDNN used to sell them for $199 a pop which is dirt cheap. Maybe that created a mentality that they were cheap worthless junk, and now their asking price is $400+ because EAA stopped importing them and singlehandedly turned it into something in demand. Funny how the market works. I almost never hear about rhe .410's, and occasionally about the 20ga. The nice thing is they can be found with 10-round magazines. Though, if you look at the Saiga-12 forum (which has sections for the .410 and 20), the post counts are much less.

There are a few individuals who have it on good knowledge that at least one source is attempting to import them again. I'm hoping at least they'll secure some reasonably priced 8-round 12ga mags!

Ive got a couple 10rd mags for my .410





I sometimes wonder if there is just alot less intrest in the other gauges, or if they are simply less common?
