You could buy a KRISS Vector Rifle in .22LR, a Thompson or a PPSH. If I was going to buy another .22 semi I'd buy a Saiga-22.

Saiga .22's are as rare as Unicorn tears!.I bet you could count the number in the UK on one hand, both at a push.

They are out of stock at the moment and have been for a long time but are still on the website, same with the SVD/SVDS's that I have heard have been on order for around 18 months.Problem is KalashnikovConcern (formerly Izhmash) is still primarily a military arsenal and military orders take precedent over civilian orders and with the current political climate over Ukraine and the sanctions imposed it may be a while before Saigas etc are shipped again.I know that in the US KalashnikovConcern has been specifically mentioned by name as a company on the sanctions list, so the Russians may very well say sod it and not ship Saigas, Veprs etc at all.I could well be wrong but it appears no new stock has arrived for a while.
