Kalashnikov AK Saiga 9 CARBINE (Russian Made)
Overview
Saiga-9 semi-automatic carbine is built on shortened AK-74M-style stamped steel receiver. It features simple blowback action and fires from closed bolt. It also features typical Kalashnikov trigger, hammer and manual safety arrangements, adapted to semi-automatic only functioning. Feed is from double stack, double feed box magazines, made from plastic. Magazines are compatible with PP-19 Vityaz submachine gun, but are internally restricted to 10-round capacity to conform to Russian laws. Versions planned for Russian market feature barrels 345mm long and internal trigger locks that block firing when shoulder stock is folded. Possible export versions might feature shorter barrels and no trigger lock. Sights are based on typical AK pattern, with adjustable V-notch rear sight and protected front post.
