Sweet looking rifle out of the box. I'm working on the conversion next, you can't beat a new Russian AK. Shipped quickly to my ffl, flawless transfer, will definitely buy again.

Well let's just say budsgunshop is THE best site on the web for purchasing a firearm shipping was quick and painless. I put about 700 rounds through the saiga and all seems well, verry smooth gun though the trigger pull is a little stiff that should be an easy thix.
I Will be shopping here again

Buds has always been very smooth and reliable for me, I have never had anything but "Great" service from Buds. This Hunter Carbine is Awesome ,It is different than Buds picture. The 20" barrel model is Shown in Buds Picture. This Hunting Carbine is a lot smaller than what is shown in the Picture & Specs, It is only 37 1/2 " Not 43 1/2" as listed. Only 4" of the Barrel is seen past the front of the fore-end . The Hunting Butt-stock and fore-arm is Black all weather polymer / plastic, Weight is just under 8 Lbs total. It works well for a low-maintenance all weather 30 Caliber Carbine. It is very much like a all weather Ruger Mini-30. The Saiga IZ-132 is Imported by Russian Weapons Company, in PA. Package was double boxed and Packed & Shipped correctly, The Hunting Carbine and all the accessories are packed in thick Zirast Inhibited Polyethylene bags to protect from any Corrosion. Just the Carbine in one bag and the 10 Round Magazine,Gun cleaning kit and Oil bottle in another. A Gun Cleaning rod was wrapped in a separate oiled paper. In several clear plastic bags was a Service Manual and a Hand Signed and Stamped ( In Russian ) Acceptance / Inspection Certificate dated 04/22/2013 . It is Made in Russia By Izhmash , The Factory where AKs are made. The Saiga Carbine also has a factory left mounted Side Unified Rail for a optical sight. I have a UAG - Quick Detachable side mount Double Weaver with A Dark Opps 3X9 42MM Scope. Open sights are quite accurate at a realistic distance , However with this Scope it is scary Accurate. The Saiga will out shoot my Ruger Mini-14 and Mini-30 With open sights and with a Scope.

Absolutely awesome rifle!!!! Buds Gun Shop processed my order very quickly, and I had my saiga the same week I ordered it. The link to the UPS tracking was a cool feature for impatient people like me too. This rifle is ready to go right out of the box, and surprisingly accurate, and you know its going to be reliable for years because its from the Izhmash factory, and is pretty much an AK in a hunting rifle suit (and a slightly finagled with fire control group and magazine well). Its a great gun at an even better price, from prompt and helpful people!!!!!!!!!

Awesome rifle! I'l probably do the conversion to get the rifle back its original AK configuration in the near future. Bud's needs to have some more of the 10 round magazines available for those customers who aren't planning on doing the conversion.

This is a very interesting piece. AK guts and a nylon sport stock with a short barrel and no pistol grip. I bought it partly because of the low prices on 7.62x39 ammo and I wanted to have something from Izmash for my collection. Appears indestructible like most Russian arms. No failures after 200 rounds. Definitely a sweet shooter and damned accurate right out of the box at 50 yards. Price also unbeatable, Buy safe guarantee paid off and I got this Ruskie girlfriend in my safe for 485.00.. The cheap ammo lets me stay at the range longer, which is also a big plus. Grab one of these while you can.
Great deal from Bud's as always!

I took the rifle apart and cleaned it prior to use and I think I did something wrong b/c my first shots were misfires caused by the pin striking too lightly. We disassembled and then put it back together at the range and it has fired flawlessly since. Fed 100s of rounds of Tula through it without a hitch. I think this is a very functional weapon, if you want an inexpensive AK type gun this is it. It is smaller and 'cheaper' feeling than the more expensive versions, but like I said - reliable. Eventually I will switch out the plastic stock for a wooden one, but I am confident that if I had to rely on this weapon it would work consistently.
