Arsenal Super Sale

[csaxj3]

Arsenal SGL-21's (AK-103) are on sale for $499.99

Thats right, the "must have" AK's are on sale for a whopping $500 bucks less than before.

Means two things:

1.) The market has crashed, expect super pricing across the board, I can see sub 300 dollar WASR's soon.

2.) I feel bad for those who paid $900+ for one of these.

Get your's here:

If your in the market for a nice AK, some say the best outside of a custom build, the time is here.

thanks for the heads up!

Wow. They were $799.99 last week, and I was thinking hard about it. Thinking even harder now. If they had just reduced the SGL31's (5.45) as well, I'd be on the phone right now...

I am hoping that the AR market will soon follow. Loved the days of $80 lowers and $300 uppers.

[lowbud]

yeah typical run of the mill AK's have been sub 400 for several months now. Ar's are already sub 650. It wasn't long ago a crappy ar was 1000.00

[Magiccarpetrides]

supply and demand....and oversupply.

I wonder if this is partly responsible for those outstanding prices.

Those Saigas are Izhmash made, or atleast my SGL-21 was.

That report has already been discredited.

They did lower the price on one of their 5.45's.. the bulgarian ak74 - slr106fr, its pretty nice too.

Those are actually 5.56x45mm, rather than 5.45x39mm...

Srsly! Im getting tired of carrying your dead weight,slacker!

[Guest HvyMtl]

I hope you are correct on the market - I think the O panic buy is over.

Now if the ammo would catch up!

But, seriously, I need a job, too...

Seeing the bubble burst, wishing I had cash...

Ammo pricing is coming down, not as fast as the rifles.....but give it time.

If the SGL-31's were 499, I'd be all over them.

I have no real need for a 7.62x39 as I have a SAR-1....while its not as nice, it does the job and I don't think the SGL-20 is any more accurate (done some side by side shooting). However, the SGL-31 I shot a couple of weeks ago would threaten the AR side of the range in terms of accuracy.

At 100 yds the SGL31 was shooing very nice and tight groups with a combloc optic. Some were an easy 1.5 MOA, then the gun warmed up and stayed around 2-2.5 MOA. I think the 5.45x39 round has a lot to offer in terms of accuracy, enough to make me consider a total switch to the ak74 platform.

Only drawbacks on doing so are:

- 7.62x39 ammo is dropping in price, hopefully sub $200 per 1k, takes away the advantage of corrosive combloc 5.45 pricing

- I have enough 7.62 gear already

- Steel commie mags are hard to beat....pun intended.

- NO US producer of 5.45x39 if the worse was to happen.

But who knows.... if the SGL-31 drops in price, I'm in.

I ordered mine yesterday, thankfully, their already out of stock on the model I ordered now. If only I could get Farnsworth to successfully fax their ffl to k-var... They said they did it yesterday, K-var says they don't have it. Some woman from k-var said she would call them, and she did. Then she calls me back and says she still hasn't received it!

And I need a second one lol. Not to knock you for being out of work, but it seems like whatever I make I could always use more. However, I do see a new AK in my near future.

[mk19]

Man I am in a delima between car payment or a new AK. but then again i just got laid off, so car payment and i am not using my other AKs so it would be another queen.
