Browsing through EAA catalogs

[nick]

Browsing through EAA catalogs, I found quite a few interesting and unusual guns. Pity their site is so bad that you don't see them unless you download a PDF with the catalog, or get the printed catalog in your mail (which is how I discovered that).

Most of you probably know the Witness Elite series. The thing about Witnesses is how easy they are to convert from caliber to caliber (and without the issues you normally experience with caliber conversions). Wish the caliber conversion kits were cheaper... Anyone selling a 10mm Witness Elite match conversion for a reasonable price?

Europeans use these same as 1911s for matches. One of the reasons they buy them is because of easy to install and reliable caliber conversions, so they can have one registered gun (it's Europe, remember?) in multiple calibers without sacrificing reliability or accuracy.

Next up, Witness Hunter with 6" barrel. The frame is already tapped for scope:

A couple of Zastava rifles we can't easily have in this state.

.50 BMG one:



And a nice AK clone:

EAA makes excellent firearms at great prices! Can't wait for the CA Roster to fold; I want a Witness Elite Match 45 (along with a bunch of other ones)!

Now for the interesting (to me, at least) rifles they list in their catalog but not on their site for some reason:

Baikal MP221 side-by-side rifle, comes in .30-06 and 45-70









Hmm, how did that get in there?

I have it in .40 (same thing, you just get a conversion kit for .45). Shot it for the second time this morning, which is what inspired this post

Baikal MP94 Centerfire (comes in .223/12GA, .30-06/12GA, 45-70/12GA. Yes, it's one of those centerfire/shotgun combos Europeans are so fond of (helps with the point system, too). There's also a rimfire one (.17HMR or .22lr or .22WMR coupled with .410):













Now, do you DROS them as a rifle or as a shotgun?

A CA-legal semiauto Baikal MP161K (it has 10-rd mags and it's rimfire in .17HMR, .22WMR, or .22l):

Zastava Z98 and Z98 Target, built on Mauser 98 action, as the name implies:

[SCMA-1]

Oh shoot.........I want this one! I've been looking for a reasonably priced 22WMR semi. Just about settle on the Rem. 597 Magnum, but this looks WAY more interesting. Do they list a suggested retail price?

SCMA-1

Finally, big game SAB92SF side-by-side, made by Sabati. Comes in calibers like 45-70, .375 HH, .450 Nitro, .470 Nitro, .500 Nitro, .600 Nitro, .458 Win mag, 416 Rigby (I haven't ever heard of the last one):
