Saiga 9mm rifle ETA?

[Armed-Citizen]

just heard about this rifle.
Anyone know if it will be brought to the us?
if so, anyone have a specific date?

[Changalang]

right around the time we see steel cased 6.5 on the walmart shelves

Are we talking the subsonic 9mm cartridge developed for the spetznaz in conjunction with a suppressor? Or say, 9x19mm carbine?

Because I don't want the latter but sign me up for the former. In black, please.

It's chambered in 9x19mm and is a semi-auto civilian market version of the Izhmash Vityaz-SN submachinegun.

They are still developing a "sporting purpose" version that would be approved for importation into the USA. No ETA for US market. Projected MSRP $925.

They should use Glock mags

Damn that's spendy

They should use Glock mags

MOLOT has their own version (VEPR-9) which uses Glock magazines.
They are also working on a "sporting purpose" version that would be approved for importation into the USA. No ETA for US market. Projected MSRP $1100.

Omg it's time to start saving up for that saiga 9. These look so much more appealing than any other 9mm rifles out there right now.

[Rosereader]

I'd grab a VEPR over a Saiga, no matter how much I love Saigas.

That said I don't need a 9x19mm kalashnikov. Thanks but no thanks, was excited at the thought of 9x39mm guns entering our markets though...

[Armed-Citizen]

Did not know Vepr also was making a 9mm ak that uses glcok mags...
Thats a hard one:
Saiga with 9mm ak mags that look right on the gun
Or-
vepr that uses glock magazines but looks a bit off....
either way:
Ill get both.
Was going to wait for the m1 carbine in 9mm from citadel but for about double the price, i definately will wait for the saiga or vepr!

Bought time we had a new 9mm carbine hit the market. The stuff out there now is crap (besides the hi point).

You can build a quality ar-15 style 9mm carbine that accepts glock mags for around $1000.00.

This is true.

Also depending on how much money you want spend you can build one in .40S&W, .357SIG, .45GAP, .45ACP and 10x25mm that also uses Glock magazines.

[deckhandmike]

I'd trust a saiga or vepr over a 9mm ar any day. 90% of the threads about 9mm AR's seem to be about something not working or broken parts.
