Izhmash Saiga 7.62x39 Arsenal Las Vegas Conversion, Russian Pre‑Sanctions Import, 16.3 in Threaded Barrel with AK-74 Brake, 3x 30-Round Magazines
This Russian-made Izhmash Saiga in 7.62x39 was converted by Arsenal Las Vegas and marked accordingly, combining authentic factory origins with a recognized U.S. conversion. It was imported prior to the 2014 sanctions that halted new Russian Saiga/Kalashnikov imports. Features include AK-100-style polymer furniture, a 16.3 inch threaded barrel with an AK-74-pattern two‑chamber muzzle brake, a 90-degree gas block, and a stamped receiver with magazine well dimples. The bolt carrier shows a matching serial suffix to the receiver.
Three 30-round magazines are included.

What’s Included
- Izhmash Saiga 7.62x39 Arsenal Las Vegas conversion rifle
- Three 30-round AK-pattern magazines (mix of steel and one polymer waffle-pattern, as shown)
Factory markings include "SAIGA 7,62x39," "LEGION IZHEVSK, RUSSIA," "ARSENAL LAS VEGAS NV USA," and the Izhmash factory emblem. The stamped AK receiver has magazine well dimples and a standard AK trigger guard, with selector markings "S" and "F."
The conversion features AK-100-pattern ribbed polymer handguards and a fixed black polymer buttstock with a right-side sling swivel. Furniture components carry "US" molded markings. The AK-pattern pistol grip and a 12.75 inch length of pull round out the ergonomics.
The 16.3 inch barrel is threaded and fitted with an AK-74-pattern two-chamber muzzle brake retained by a detent. A 90-degree gas block and long-stroke gas piston system are present, consistent with the platform. The rifle wears a black finish.
Sights are iron: a protected front post and an adjustable tangent/ladder rear leaf. It feeds from detachable AK-pattern double-stack magazines and has a 30+1 capacity.
This example is a pre-sanctions Russian import with Arsenal Las Vegas conversion work and a bolt carrier that shares a matching serial suffix with the receiver, adding to its appeal for buyers who value documented origins and configuration.
