Save the Saiga-12 by emailing the ATF before May 1, 2011
raacfirearms.com says "The ATF is not approving paperwork for import. We don't have any inventory and will not be getting more unless the ATF changes their mind."
Tell the ATF what you think about this. Comments to the BATFE may be submitted by e-mail to [email protected], or by fax to (202) 648-9601, and must be received by May 1, 2011. Faxed comments may not exceed 5 pages. All comments must include name and mailing address.

You must not have read the ATF document they published, found any of the threads written on this, or even thought real hard about this beyond buying into whatever rumors you read.
I suggest you read the actual study the ATF published. The Saiga 12, as imported, will not be affected. |

well maybe someone with more knowledge can tell. i'm not buying into any of the scare, but why doesn't anyone have them in stock right now? and with now ETA? my LGS just bumped up the price on them. they went from 600-ish to 850-ish, and they are on back order. some guy on ksl has one for $1200, and it's in stock configuration. anybody know what's going on?

The Saiga as imported should not be affected; but many popular shotguns, imported and domestic, pump or semi, may be affected by this study and you should write ATF.

Dear BATFE:
Reading is hard, so I didn't bother to actually read your study. However, I did get a scary email about how the study says that you really want to ban all tactical shotguns, and especially the Saiga 12. Please don't. Hugs and kisses, ~kozak6 |

As to why they are not in stock - those guns are produced in batches and sold as such.....this typical and not out of the ordinary......if you are looking at them as an investment, Exxon is a better choice |

The part that really burns me when you read the article on the NRA
website is the fact that this "working Group" within the ATF, Doesn't Want to consider practical shooting matches because they believe that's of "military and police orientation". They believe you should be helpless and dependent on the government. Just thought it was intersting. Law abiding citizens should be well armed and competent users of there firearms hence the practical shooting matches. The police perform their jobs well but it's up to you to stay alive until they get there. |

Just received an email response from ATF to the input I submitted last month:
"U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Dear Sir or Madame: Thank you for responding to the Shotgun Study. Your assistance will further promote ATF’s ability to support the firearms industry. We will review and consider your comments and suggestions. If you have any questions, you may contact the Firearms and Explosives Industry Division @ 202-648-7090. Once again, thank you for your email. Firearms and Explosives Industry Division Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives" Wonder how many such emails they will send? |
