Weapon Background

The Saiga-12 is a semi-automatic repeating shotgun intended for professional and sport hunting of small and medium-sized game. It is based on the Kalashnikov series of rifles, with modifications made to allow for the firing of shotgun shells.

Like the Kalashnikov rifles it's derived from, the Saiga utilizes a long-stroke gas piston and a rotating bolt, and feeds from a detachable box magazine. The Saiga also sports many features found on other AK pattern guns, such as the large lever safety on the right side of the receiver, the optic mounting rail on the left side of the receiver, and the large top-mounted dust cover held in place by the rear of the recoil spring assembly.

Despite the visual similarities, creating the Saiga wasn't simply a matter of scaling a Kalashnikov rifle to feed shotgun shells. Several modifications were made in order to ensure the proper functioning of the weapon. Since shotgun shells are nearly twice as wide as 7.62×39mm cartridge, the extraction port in the side of the dust cover had to be increased in size. However, since the bolt had to remain the same length to fit inside the standard AK-sized receiver, the rear section of the bolt is covered by a sliding metal flap that rides on the recoil spring. This allows the gun to be sealed against dirt when the bolt is forward, but the compression of the recoil spring during firing moves the flap rearward to clear the extracted shells. Unlike the Kalashnikov rifles, the Saiga-12 extractor does not rotate, but instead delegates the bolt-locking function to a separate lug directly behind the bolt-face.

The Saiga-12 incorporates an adjustable two-position gas system, with "standard" and "magnum" settings for firing 2-3/4" and 3"-length shells respectively. This is because firing 3" shells with high power loads such as slugs and buckshot generates so much force that the receiver would be damaged if the full power of the gas system was employed without some sort of recoil buffer. The problem is that making the gun durable with such high power loads would make it more likely to experience a cycle failure with the less powerful 2-3/4" shells, and would likely not cycle at all when used with low-powered less lethal ammunition. This would essentially render it a straight-pull mechanism.

The Saiga-12 is manufactured by the arms division of Izhmash, in Russia. Several different configurations for the Saiga exist, ranging from more traditional-looking hunting models to military-style models utilizing AK or SVD hardware. All of these versions are available for purchase by civilians in Russia, requiring only a "smoothbore-gun license" (which is relatively easy to obtain, compared to a "rifle license" that requires a five-year period of owning a smoothbore gun and a hunting permit). Recently, a new version of the Saiga 12 was introduced. Called the Saiga 12 Mod 040 'Taktika', it features an extended magazine well, a last round bolt hold open, a hinged dust cover with Picatinny rail for mounting optics, a new gas block with an integrated Picatinny rail, and a newly designed 8-round magazine (not interchangeable with other Saiga-12 models). This version of the design aims to address several deficiencies that the original Saiga-12 had. The traditional AK "rock and lock" magazine system and the difficulties associated with changing the magazine has been replaced by a vertical insertion system that allows the magazine to be inserted with only one hand. The hinged dust cover with picatinny rail makes mounting optics simpler, and is closer to the bore axis. The gas-block rail system allows for the addition of combat lights and vertical fore grips. The last round bolt hold open gives the user instant feedback that the firearm is empty and allows for a quicker magazine change.

The Saiga was first imported into the US by European American Armories, although their agreement expired in 2005 and Izhmash then began exporting through the Russian-American Armory Company, and later through Wolf Performance Arms. However, in response to the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in 2014, U.S. President Barack Obama issued Executive Order 13662 blocking the importation of all Izhmash products, including Saiga shotguns and rifles.
