I find it interesting that they list a 30-06 semi auto.
I do like the Saiga shotguns.

Lots of Saigas and Tigrs, but no basic AK.Oh, I'm familiar with those...their tops are made of rubber and their bottoms are made of springs!

I love my Saiga 12. But the .410 just looks silly - big beefy gun with a tiny little barrel sticking out.
30-06 is interesting - catering to one of your largest markets, I guess.

shifted pulse is a hell of a concept though...

It’ll be a lot better when these new toys start showing up in the hands of our enemies, aimed at our guys....In a related story, Russia is to build 2 AK factories in Venezuela...

...shifted pulse is a hell of a concept though...Maybe someone over here could make it work, and develop a superior weapon for the US military. But from what I hear, it's tough as hell to experiment with automatic weapons anymore, due to the idiotic federal laws.
John Moses Browning probably would have gone into typewriter design, if he had to deal with our current legal structure - and all of us today would be speaking German as a direct result...

Well, the “Tigr” model doesn't appear to be available in the US.
So someone is buying the -06, and not just Americans.

Bummer - I like the TIGR better than the Saiga.
More traditional AK look, with wood. Big fan of wood.
To: Flavius
Cool!
They’re still making a 7.62 x 54R in a bolt action!
