Our Assessment: This RARE original Russian Made rifle is Import Banned Forever which means if you are viewing this listing, then you are a lucky dog and may not ever have an opportunity like this again to snatch a nearly factory new, never fired, authentic Russian rifle. The Russian Legion Saigas imported by Arsenal take the extremely high-quality of the Izhmash products to the next level. They are the factory’s custom shop, Legion Ltd. They have their own production line where it manufactures high-end variants of the factory’s standard production guns, utilizing hand-selected components and employing detailed attention to fit and finish. This semi-auto rifle was named after the saiga antelope, an animal almost as rare as these Russian import firearms. Built on the traditional Kalashnikov-style rifles, this firearm can become a simple defense tool, your trusty hunting rifle, or just a sweet range toy. This rifle, with its detachable magazines and sleek build, offers speed and sturdiness. In MINT condition, it’s up to you to put this gun through its paces or keep it as your newest safe queen. Plus, the “coolness” factor of a classic Russian AK platform should tempt everyone to add this Saiga to their lineup. Everything on this AK is Supreme Quality and built to last for generations with peak performance. Bid and add this jewel to your collection!
