I just got off the phone with Danny Vermin and he agrees that thing is sweet.

damn jillion people waiting on them and they are being put on the auction sites at double the good street price which is about $300

I've had a chance to shoot one at a local shop/range.

I picked up a S&W 686 .357, Saiga 12 gauge, and a Bushmaster Carbon 15 with Optics today. 

Drilled out the trigger assembly on the Saiga to move it forward, but the kit didn't come with a retainer plate so will have to order it.

I bought the five-seven, but have not shot it yet.

Yup.

Gordy, Carolina Shooters Supply seems to be one of the better Saiga places to do business with.

Funny you mention that...I just got off the phone with them.  I ordered:

JTE Performance Power Hammer Spring /Main Spring
AXIS PIN RETAINING PLATE FOR THE SAIGA 12
BOLT HOLD OPEN LEVER KIT SAIGA 12-MODIFIED
EXTENDED MAGAZINE RELEASE SAIGA 12
SAIGA 12 QUAD RAIL
TRIGGER GUARD-CAROLINA SAIGA 12 BOLT ON
TRIGGER GROUP HOLE PLUGS FOR SAIGA CONVERSIONS
SAIGA 12 BARREL NUT
GRIP AK/SAIGA HOGUE FINGER GROOVE BLACK
LOW BRASS RELIABILITY KIT
COLLAPSIBLE TAPCO T-6 BLACK

cheap as 7.62x39 is...you might as well buy the Saiga in that caliber and convert it too....better weapon than the cobbled together AK's that Century sells..., imo

So FN made a mini-M16 and put high velocity rounds into it, eh? Like Dave said it is going to lack stopping power. The reason you have high velocity rounds is to compensate for distance shooting; not something you want in a pistol which is really only effective under 50m.

Well if you want something that will have plenty of knock down power I've got a Mauser custom 300 win mag for sale right now.

Ya, but you gotta remember it was primarilly designed for military use, and more specifically, armor piercing.  There's a ton of different armor piercing ammo for it, but not available to the public.  They only brought out the standard rounds so the public could have something to use with this piece.

I'm looking for ideas on how to dress up that AR.  Anyone have any recommendation s? 

Also, I'd like to find a gun safe...that doesn't look like a gun safe.
