Thank you. I like the recoil of 223's, very mild. But i keep reading that the 545 has practicly none, that would be awesome if a round that powerfull recoiled like a 22. It might defy the laws of physics too.

I'm interested in what the recoil is like on the saiga stock form 5.45x39's compared to stock form .223 saigas. I'll be sold on this caliber if the recoil is closer to a 10/22 than a 223 saiga. I'm kinda hoping for that answer lol. If i was to fully deck out the 223 saiga with a good quality muzzle break and whatever else you can put in them to reduce recoil, would they be about even?

It was not an AR-15 it was a Ruger Mini-14. At least one of the bank robbers was shot by the pistols in the head and face several times. I think both of them got shot in the face a few times. Yet the .223 rifle would cause severe crippling wounds with random shots in the arm and such. The .223 will take whatever part of you it hits out of commission. That's what it does.

"Converting" the stock saiga returns it to it's original AK configuration. In order for it to be imported into this country as a sportster type rifle, the trigger was moved back from where it sits in a standard AK. The trigger group has the addition of a linking system to allow for the longer distance between the trigger and the hammer. For some people this results in a mushy or vague sensation when the trigger actually breaks. This also shifts the balance of the weapon so that it is very front heavy if you were to use the skeleton stock or the aftermarket pistol grip/stock combo that fits on

TY for pointing that out it is important to me

I see a lot of "converting" going on but i dont know exactly what that means sorry. Feel like im missing out on something there that could be important. Are the magazines that come with it not quality? I hear they are 10 capacity which is fine for me. I like to shoot slugs out of my rossi 20 guage, light little gun. The recoil of a 7.62 doesnt scare me. I am going to get an ak variant in 7.62, most likely a SAIGA because of the price. I will also get a .223 rifle for the superior accuracy. Both cartridges are cheap enough for me to practice with the rifles pretty often without making it f

Hi i'm bran new to the saiga 12 forums. I originally planned on getting an ak47 in 7.62, then i was shown the saiga series. First off i'm glad i found out about saiga, as a 12 or 20 guage in ak47 is just flat out genious i can see these saiga's being extreemly good weapons all around. I know the reliability of an ak47 is unmatched amongst other firearms. Now i'm not sure what to get for my first saiga. depends... The main reason i want a .223 caliber rifle is for the lower recoil, greater accuracy and range than what 7.62 offers. Do these .223 advantages ring true in the saigas? I ask
