What's Included

- 1 factory 10-round Saiga-pattern polymer magazine with Russian markings
Built at Izhmash in Russia, this Saiga retains its factory sporting layout with the rearward trigger group and riveted trigger-guard extension. The rifle is import-marked by EAA (Cocoa, FL), aligning it with the early 2000s import period and showing Izhmash logos and Russian Cyrillic proof/acceptance marks.
The stamped-steel receiver with ribbed top cover and matte black finish reflects the AKM-based construction. Controls are familiar: a paddle-style magazine release and a right-side selector lever. The length of pull measures 13.5 inches.
The 16.3-inch barrel is unthreaded with a plain crown. Sighting is handled by a post front sight and a tangent rear sight. A left-side AK optics dovetail rail is present on the receiver for compatible side-mounts.
Operation is semiautomatic with a gas-operated, long-stroke piston system. The rifle includes one 10-round Saiga-pattern polymer magazine and has a 10+1 capacity. Furniture consists of a black polymer Monte Carlo stock with a trapdoor buttplate, molded grip texturing, a rear sling swivel, and a matching sporter polymer handguard.
