I would be interested in this to. Hopefully it will come with a pistol grip as it is a .22 and should get around any AWBs. Or does the importation of AWs count .22s as well?

Wonder if any Saiga sales people here (DD's Ranch or other FFL's) have any insight on these ?

Federal 922r does not apply to rimfire rifles.

I still have yet to see more than that 1. Are we sure that it even exists?

That one looked very much like a Production run variant (and not a one off or prototype work up)

If it is then it wont see time in our state with the extra rivet and notch

WASR 22 's are based on Cur "Leftover" recievers and get away with the Y axis just fine...

According to Century they are on SAR-2 receivers.

Compare the demples (And do SAR's have Y axis also ?)

Do you mean the "Y" on the backside where the happy hole gets drilled? I think its ok as long as it has never been drilled. Yes, The SAR-2 has the "Y". If the hole is already drilled then even a welded up hole is still considered a machine gun.
