What have you bought in the last 48 hours gun related?

What does fully converted mean?

 

Hopefully at least a double stack AK mag well.

 

It's hard to tell since they can't be imported anymore, but I bought mine 3 years ago with the same shit for $500.

 

Finally got a hold of an EBR stock for my socom 16 M1A!

 

Yeah ever since Obama issued the sanction, saiga's values have gone through the roof. People are spending 1200-1500 on a saiga 12 like it's nothing. I've wanted an ak for awhile now, and with the conditions getting worse in East Europe I doubt there will be any over here anytime soon.

 

I have a NIB VEPR 12, never shot or taken out. I wonder if I should sell it soon.

 

Well the saiga shotguns have always been more expensive than the rifles. 1000 was a normal price for a converted s12.


If you want to convert it yourself, Classic has some in stock. Parts for a basic conversion are ~$150 (Tapco G2 trigger, buttstock, bullet guide, pistol grip)

Add a bullet guide (so you can use standard AK mags) and you have a factory new AK.



Or, get a N-Pap. It's a yugo rifle so most of the parts are proprietary, but if you don't give a shit about your rifle being suitable for only T1 operators it doesn't matter.

K-Var has them, in stock, for $1000 right now.

thats a steal for a Vepr. I wish i had sold my saiga and picked up a Vepr. ive really been thinking about getting one in the next month or so. i like that there is no gas plug and you can insert mags straight in. opposed to having to rock and lock them in like an AK

 

it means it has enough US made parts to be 922r compliant. you have to add us parts because with certain features it losing its "sporting" status

Unconverted s12 for 850
http://www.centerfiresystems.com/SAI-12.aspx

 

i paid 520$ for my saiga 12 a few years ago

 

I think whenever I bought my converted x39, the guy had converted s12s for around 800..

 

The last unconverted Saiga 12 I bought I paid $275.

 

I won't quote what I had invested into the conversation.

 

I'm going back quite a few years before converting them was the 'in' thing and prices sky-rocketed on both conversions/parts & the sporter shotguns themselves. I sourced parts and did the work myself. It was fun but not something I enjoyed enough to hold onto forever and when the prices started going up I let someone have it for all the money. I considered making it an open-class 3-gun unit but I was just getting out of that too so it didn't make much sense to keep especially when I could easily triple my money. Used to be you could get one for $250-$275 all day long. Those were good days.

 

I found another AK for 750 with 350 rounds of ammo included. All it needs is the bullet guide. I've been thinking about getting a bump stock/slide fire, anyone have one? And if so are they worth the money?
