Saiga shotgun series: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 06:02, 24 December 2023

The Saiga shotgun series is a series of AK-derived civilian semi-automatic shotguns developed and manufactured by Izhmash (now known as Kalashnikov Concern). The Saiga is primarily manufactured in three different calibers: 12 gauge (Saiga 12 series), 20 gauge (Saiga 20 series), and .410 bore (Saiga .410 series).

Each of these three types of Saiga shotguns generally have three main variants:

The unsuffixed base variant, with long barrel, fixed buttstock, and no pistol grip. This variant can also be manufactured with a quick-detachable buttstock and quick-detachable pistol grip.
The S variant with long barrel, folding stock, and pistol grip.
The K variant with short barrel, folding stock, and pistol grip. The civilian versions of the K variants are equipped with a trigger locking mechanism that prevents the trigger from being pulled when the stock is folded; this is because the Russian law prohibits shotguns with barrel lengths below 500 mm (20") and also overall lengths below 800 mm (32"), and the Saiga K variants go below the length limit when their stocks are folded, necessitating the safety block to follow Russian regulations. Police, military, and export variants of the K variants are not equipped with this mechanism.

Sporterized BATFE approved semi-auto versions of the Saiga shotgun were available for sale to civilians in the United States prior to various sanctions against Russia, and many clones of the design (of varying quality) are still sold. Media occasionally depicts Saiga shotguns as fully automatic or select-fire. No production version with such a feature exists, but such modification is possible.

-The '''Saiga shotgun series''' developed by Izhmash (now known as Kalashnikov Concern) are [[AK-47|Kalashnikov]] pattern civilian shotguns. They are rotating bolt, gas-operated Semi-Automatic shotguns. The Saiga 12K is a variation with pistol grips, short barrels and folding stocks for police and military use. A civilian version of the Saiga 12K is also available for the Russian market; this version has a block that prevents the trigger from being depressed when the stock is folded. This is because Russian laws prohibit shotguns with a barrel length of less than 500&nbsp;mm (20") and an overall length of less than 800&nbsp;mm (32"). As the Saiga 12K is 910&nbsp;mm (35.8") long with the stock unfolded, and 670&nbsp;mm (26.4") long with it folded, this safety block brings it into line with Russian regulations. Sporterized BATFE Approved semi-auto versions are available for sale to civilians in the United States.

+The '''Kalashnikov USA KS-12''' shotgun is a semi-automatic shotgun, a clone of the Saiga-12 manufactured in the United States by Kalashnikov USA. The KS-12 accepts 2.75” and 3” shells and features an adjustable gas system that allows it to utilize a variety of different shell types.
+The shotgun also features the traditional [[AK]] style side-mounted dovetail mount and a threaded barrel. Most Saiga accessories and parts, such as magazines, chokes, and muzzle devices, are compatible with the KS-12.
+The '''Kalashnikov USA Komrad''' is a 12 gauge semi-automatic, short-barreled firearm. While essentially a short-barreled shotgun, the Komrad is considered a "firearm" as it does not meet the definition for either a "shotgun" or a "short-barreled shotgun" under United States federal law and thus is not subject to the registration and extra paperwork required to own a similar short-barreled shotgun as outlined in the National Firearms Act.
+The Komrad's barrel length is only 12.5" long, under the 18" length requirement to be considered a "shotgun" by law, however, it has an overall length of 31.5" and lacks a stock, instead being fit with a pistol brace. Like the KS-12, it features an adjustable gas system and is compatible with most Saiga-12 parts and accessories.
