I keep waffling. I'm in the market for a trunk/fun/SHTF gun and every time I think I've made up my mind, something else comes along to shake my conviction. Currently I keep coming back to a para SKS, because I definately want an inexpensive semi-auto carbine that I can tinker with, but am not interested in a .223. I have Yugo, and love the 7.62x39 round, but like I said, I'd like something a little shorter, lighter and handier.
I was happy. I knew what I wanted and it was in my price range. Some day I'll get a DSA FAL because I really want a .308, but that day is far into the future.
Until two days ago when I got a catalog from CDNN advertising Saiga's...including one in .308 for about the same price, or maybe a little cheaper than a para.
So how about it? I've read very little about the Saiga .308, but all of it has been good. How good are they? How accurate? What kind of accessories are there for them? Milsurp or factory ammo? How much do they weigh compared to an M1A?
If there's an online source of Saiga info, you can just point me in it's direction in lieu of trying to answer all of my rambling questions.
Thanks.
