Re: Saiga-12
My fault, you're correct about the spring. Can't really guarantee that you couldn't 3D print a follower in the US. As for the trigger, nothing I see stands out that it's a Russian trigger. Unless I'm missing something it looks just as much like a Tapco or an ALG as it does a Saiga. OP, what's the trigger group?

Re: Saiga-12
As for what it's worth? Hard to say. When these "unconverted" Saiga-12's first hit the market they were had for 400 bucks. During the last panic and after the import ban they went up to a grand. Once VEPR's starting showing up and 400 dollar Chinese Saiga clones landed these went down in value. I call this one unconverted because the trigger group is in the wrong location to make it sporterized and usable with the monte carlo stock they came with. They should still hold some value though just by being a Saiga. With Chinese saiga clones still at 400 and VEPRs still for sale at around 1100, I'd say this one should fall somewhere in between. More equal to the VEPR in price if it had the conversion done. Just my .02

Re: Saiga-12
Anyone local to Lancaster that would be willing to check it out? Would like to know what's really done to it. Just going by what the original owner said.

Re: Saiga-12
Not sure how anyone else’s here ran but mine sucked right out of the box and all to often they need a lot of mods to get them reliable if you plan to use it often. My brothers Veper can be a a PITA with some cheap loads loads but runs reliable with everything else.
Hard pass for me.

Re: Saiga-12
That's been my experience as well as most others. They can be fixed though. Come to the CenPA shoot sometime and see how they should run out of the box. Mine all eat everything. I've just come to accept that they need internal work, they were never designed to run less than 3.5 dram target loads, they were designed to be a military shotgun and fed slugs and buck primarily. The Russian military issues them from what I understand so they can't be all that bad. They just get a bad rap because they came stateside and everyone and their brother wanted to use them for 3 gun and plinking with wally world bulk pack ammo. On that note, steer far away from Winchester white box bulk target loads. Absolute garbage and loaded inconsistent and I suspect is responsible for many of the reliability issues people face even with properly tuned shotguns.
