[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1764534, member: 1132"] I think he was discussing the Saiga rifles, not the shotgun variants. The Saiga is a very good sporterized version of the AK. In order to fulfill the requirements of most AK aficionados, it will have to be reworked from it's sporterized configuration into something more closely resembling a traditional AKM. Is it the "Rolls Royce"? No. Cadillac perhaps, but not Rolls. Arsenal and VEPR arguably make a superior AK variant. The Finnish Valmet is a superbly built AK variant. Some of the original pre-ban AK imports with milled vs. stamped receivers are also arguably better. A lot of folks would say that one of the best AK variants available anywhere in the world are made right here in Oklahoma (Wyandotte) by The Firing Line. I'd say forgive your coworker for believing his Saiga is all that. Lots of people invest a lot of emotion into their firearms. It may not be the best, but it's still pretty damn good. Just don't let him tell you his Mak-90 is the second best AK ever made. :) [/QUOTE]
