Saiga are a version of the, and are marketed for and civilian use. They are sometimes referred to as Saiga Sporters. Contents. History Named after the, the Saiga series of rifles is based on the AK-47 system originally designed. The series was developed for who wanted the reliability of an AK pattern rifle in a non- package.
Originally designed in the 1970s, the first rifles were chambered for (5.6×39mm). The project was not a huge success and only about 300 rifles of this design were produced. The Saiga was reintroduced in the 1990s and was marketed as a rifle capable of medium-sized. Improvements were made to the initial design from the 1970s which made the rifle capable of handling more powerful such as the / and the more prevalent /, and. These improvements contributed to the modern line of the Saiga rifles being adopted by many different hunters.
The rifle is currently made in the Izhmash factory in the town of, the same plant that makes Kalashnikov military AKs. In fact the Izhmash factory is the factory that Mikhail Kalashnikov worked at for so many years. A Saiga semi-automatic rifle was used by Micah Xavier Johnson in the July 7, in which five police officers were killed, according to, the, and the. Description. A closer look at the mechanism of the Saiga. The saiga most resembles an and the.
It includes a, and 90-degree block unlike the AK-47 which has a receiver and 45-degree gas block. The use of a third gives it resemblance to the AK-100 series of rifles Russia is currently. This rivet is not present on the AK-47, and AK-74, the guide in these designs incorporate an extra appendage which allows the to while this Saiga and AK-100's use a single rivet design. Most of the components of the Saiga are similar if not identical to an, but there are many cosmetic and functional differences between a Saiga and an AK series rifle. On the Saiga there is a pin that is used to secure the front on to the front assembly and a screw that is used to secure the hand guard in towards the rear. The 7.62×39 version Saiga is unable to accept standard; physically the catch will not allow a magazine to lock into place inside of the receiver. The Saiga's magazine catch has a smaller clearance between the receiver than a 'normal' AK.
This does not allow the larger lug of a non-Saiga magazine to lock in. The AK type magazines can be modified to lock in place, but cartridges may not feed because the Saiga's receiver lacks a bullet guide. The bullet guide allows a round to be pulled from a magazine and then fed into the without being caught on the front trunnion; this bullet guide is specifically built on the lip of the Saiga magazine. Any magazine used that does not have this feature may not feed reliably in the rifle. Another difference of some later model Saigas is that they have a bolt hold open button.
The Saiga bolt hold open is engaged by manually pressing a lever near the and pulling the rearward although this feature does not automatically hold the rifle's action open after the last round is fired as seen on the. Most versions of the rifle lack a and don't have a threaded front block, making it unable to accept devices.
The and trigger guard of most of the US versions are placed farther back on the receiver than on a typical AK series rifle, and a transfer bar type system is used to release the. This results in the Saiga to have a considerably heavier and grittier trigger pull than that of other Kalashnikov-made firearms.
In March 2013, Izhmash debuted a civilian version of the / rifle designated the. The MK-107 features improvements over the original AK-107 design including a rounded ergonomic, a button-style above the trigger guard, AR-15-style pistol grip and (made by firm CAA Tactical), and full length top. Design and operation.
The Saiga 7.62×39 rifle disassembled. The charging handle is attached to the gas piston. Also the recoil spring and Saiga bolt are visible. The Saiga uses the same type of gas system that the AK series rifle uses:.
A is pushed by the force of the gases from the firearm when a round is discharged, and it keeps powder residue and from of the Saiga. It is widely accepted that this type of action provides greater reliability than most other semi automatic actions. This piston is located inside the gas tube. As gas is siphoned into the gas tube, the gas piston is sent rearward. While the gas piston is sent rearward, the, attached to the gas piston, is unlocked from the trunion and ejects the spent casing. When the bolt and gas piston reach the rearmost position of the receiver, the spring pushes them forward again picking up a new round and chambers it, and the cycle repeats when the trigger is pulled. Another key feature cited in the reliability of the Saiga is that the rifle is designed to have loose tolerances between moving parts.
These loose tolerances allow more space between the moving parts of the rifle, and they allow the rifle to push any dirt and debris out of the way when the action cycles. All Saiga rifles have a hammer-forged -lined barrel, which influences the Saiga's reliability by making the inside of the more resilient to and enabling the rifle to withstand more rounds to be fired out of the barrel without an adverse effect on accuracy. This allows the firearms barrel to be easier than that of a non-chrome lined. Saiga Mk.223 Rem 'Tactical Edition' Saigas were sometimes called 'true' Kalashnikovs, since they were made under license in the same Kalashnikov Concern Izhmash factory where Mikhail Kalashnikov worked. Many Kalashnikov-pattern rifles produced in the world today are unlicensed. In the United States The Saiga line was initially exclusively imported into the United States by Russian American Armory and then RWC. Some rifles were imported by the FIME group (Arsenal) for conversion and resale under the Arsenal SGL line.
