Guns Listing ID: 549810



A civilian-grade rifle manufactured by Izhmash (Kalashnikov Concern) in Russia, the Saiga .223 is a distinctive sporterized variant of the legendary AK design. Chambered in .223 Remington/5.56 NATO, it blends AK reliability with more modern, practical features—and carries the prestige of true Russian manufacture.


?? Design & Structure
Operating System: Classic long-stroke gas piston with a two-lug rotating bolt, mirroring AK reliability under adverse conditions.


Barrel: Hammer-forged, chrome-lined, ~16\"—ensuring durability and simplified cleaning.


Receiver & Safety: Stamped-steel receiver with standard AK-style right-side safety lever (safe/fire positions).


Stock & Furniture: outfitted with fixed hunting-style synthetic stock. including folding skeletonized buttstock


?? Features & Configuration
Magazine: ships with 10-round proprietary magazine; does not accept standard AK magazines.


Sights: Adjustable tangent rear sight (100–300 m) paired with adjustable post front sight. Many units feature left-side receiver rails for optics.




?? Performance & Usability
Reliability: Tested in harsh conditions, the Saiga retains the AK’s legendary dependability; it often outlasts competitors in reliability under adverse environments.


Accuracy: Typically capable of ~4\" groups at 100 yards—adequate for hunting and general-purpose shooting, though not pinpoint precision.


Balance & Feel: Heavier in the front and not as refined ergonomically, especially in stock configuration. But recoil is minimal in .223 and overall handling remains functional
