And doesn't even know what it is. I guess money actually does grow on trees.

1600 is nothing bro. I’m smart enough to know I didn’t get ripped off but didn’t actually know anything specific about the gun

Saiga import that looks converted 🤷
Zumoshitekato@reddit
This looks like a rifle dynamics saiga conversion
Primary_Cabinet_6211@reddit (OP)
If it helps it shoots 5.45X39
Zumoshitekato@reddit
It clearly was originally a saiga import, they were imported in a number of calibers
The conversion work looks very disticntly Rifle Dynamics.

That’s good to know. I paid 1600 for this and it came with 6 original mags as well as 800-1000 rounds. Did I get a good deal?
Zumoshitekato@reddit
Id say you did really good!
about 700 bucks in ammo alone at todays price
An unconverted saiga runs around 1k these days.
Rifle Dynamics work costs a pretty penny, easily 1600 for just the conversion alone, not even sure they offer that service anymore.

The real question is what are my options for an FRT in the future?
Imaginary_Relief7886@reddit
An FRT? Do you live somewhere 5.45 is readily available? If you put an FRT in it. You'll shoot it one time. And never have ammo again
Primary_Cabinet_6211@reddit (OP)
I can get about 2000 rounds of it for 1100$ so I’ll definitely be able to shoot it a good amount
Zumoshitekato@reddit
As far as I know its a standard pattern AK fire control group on the inside so it should be compatible with any AK pattern FRT options on the market.
5.45 is pretty pricey but has come down some, seeing it around 60-70 cents per round shipped. Back when this thing was built in the golden age of 5.45 you could get spam cans of surplus 7n6 for $100.

Why are you poeple like this?

Saiga sporter that has been converted to pistol grip with a triangle side folder.
Primary_Cabinet_6211@reddit (OP)
It’s shoots 5.45X39 is this gun a good buy?
Darksept@reddit
That ammo is very hard to find. Takes priority magazines, too.
But it's a Russian made AK. Only worth the hassle if you're a collector.

¡¡¡SAIGA!!!

Looks to be a Saiga, actually made at Izhmash. Given the state of the world, there won't be any more new Russian imports.
