Bubba's Review:
7.52x39 Stamped Receiver
I own one of the ones imported prior, they are strong and will last forever.
Other than that they are kind of lame. I'm converting mine to be more like a typical AK47
Good shooters
Manufacturer Description:
THE SAIGA IS AN AUTOLOADING RIFLE with a hunting buttstock and fore end (plastic). The Saiga rifles are intended for hunting big and medium-sized game under different climatic conditions. The rifles are developed on the base of the venerable Kalashnikov assault rifle and chambered for 7.62x39 and. 223 Rem (5.56x45) cartridges.
best ak veriant ive ever owned, conversion is simple. i did it in 3 hours with a hand drill. this is the only ak variant that is authintic russian, very accurate and accepts all ak mods and toys.
Very good rifle to own. Definitely worth the money, and better quality than most AK models out there. Come factory w/ chrome-lined barrel, reliable, and when in factory configuration, not very heavy. Good all around rifle, and a great one to buy.
This is an extremely well-made rifle that is far superior to the competing AK designs that I've owne. These are made at Izhevsk, which apparently has tight quality control. The gun has been re-engineered to not accept any original AK internal parts, which is appropriate for a sporting rifle or target gun.
all round good rifle would not accept an ak mag you can get it fit but will not feed in a proper manor.30 round mags are produced pro mag and surefire produce them.compared to a wasr 10/63 the saiga 7.62 kicks the *** out of it.quality is much better than the wasr but not as high as a m70ab1 or ab2 underfolder model.
