Select fire....

Are you sure its select fire? according to World guns.ru its semi-auto only [1]5t3v0

I've seen them shoot full auto before-S&Wshooter 19:38, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

From the factory they are Semi-Auto but numerous end users have converted them into Automatic shotguns. Rockwolf66 20:23, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Price

The Saiga shotgun series are the most reasonably priced semi auto shotguns I have yet to encounter-S&Wshooter 19:39, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Given that they used the AK-47 as the basis of their design, it shouldn't be surprising that they're not too expensive, compared to other shotguns like Benelli or Franchi. Orca1 9904 01:34, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

How much does it cost in the U.S.? In Russia, Saiga-12 costs about $ 700. Saiga is the most popular weapon of self-defense due to the fact that we are prohibited from buying pistols in private use (although allowed to buy semi-automatic rifles, such as the Steyr AUG, AR-15 or AK-47 with 10-round magazine. We can also buy these rifles and as AWP). In addition to the Saiga in Russia is rather popular weapons such as the Remington 870 or Mossberg 590 (it costs about $ 1200). But such a weapon as the Benelli M4 (M1014) is less common because it costs about $ 3500 and it is being bought by professionals who are addicted to practical shooting.

It's not too odd to see new Saigas go around $499, get them now though, the ATF has a hard on for them as of late Thursday 20:16, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
