I'm starting to consider selling my converted Saiga-12. I did the conversion myself, it functions flawlessly, the hammer and trigger were profiled and polished by Cobra 76 on the Saiga forum, and it has a PRK mag lock. Still runs the factory gas plug, I've ever had any issues when using the correct gas setting, and depending on the brand, it will sometimes cycle birdshot on the lowest gas setting. I have a few 10 rd stick mags and a 20 rd drum rebuild kit as well as the factory 5 rd mag. I finally admitted to myself that its a fun range toy that doesn't get much use, and with the mag lock its not practical for self defense.
It took me months to figure out where and how to get this gun legally into CA at a decent price back when I bought it 3-4 years ago, and then took months to connect with my FFL to get it into my possession, and then the work put into it converting it, it's hard to admit to myself that it could be money better used elsewhere - like a nice potting scope and a Kimber 82 from the CMP.
That having been said, with it likely to be considered an AW if current legislation passes, and with me liking to own things that the government doesn't like me having, so I'm conflicted.
In any event, looking for validation from the CG community to either keep it or sell it. What say you?
