Thank you Carltond. I learned all I know about knives from your exceedingly knowledgable self-which is jack shit! My turn to kid. Learned so much from you it's not even funny. Woodstock: I checked some of the big discount dealers (Dilbert's, Bud's, Aim Surplus, etc.) but didn't have much luck, however, I found a bunch on GunsAmerica. They have a few basic ones like I have (19" barrel) for $600.00, $650.00, $720.00 & some for $800.00 & up. Check it out. A couple of the lower priced ones (& that's cheap!) are listed by dealers & that may be safer than an individual seller. A little reassuring in that it's a business. Good luck. If I had a spare $600.00 right now, I'd be clicking on the Buy Now tab ASAP! That's for damn sure. BTW, I don't have one of those drum mags I spoke of. Not allowed in The People's Republic of New Jersey where, unfortunately, I reside. I merely brought it up 'cause it looks cool.
That's what I thought too. I will continue to look around. I have a friend who has one and he loves it. How hard is it to find chokes that fit?
Woodstock: Accessories abound. Why don't you go onto the Saiga forum? You can find out all you need to know there.
