Saiga trunion and receiver strength compared to RPK

[ppro 0]

I seem to remember reading something about the trunion and receiver strength of the Saiga, is similar to the Russian RPK., or at least the ROMAK version of the RPK.........but I could be confusing all this with the Vepr and Super Vepr trunion and receiver which I know IS heavy on the order of the RPK.

 

S0oooo....... what's the relative strength of the Saiga trunion and receiver...by comparison ...Is it any different in the different models or pretty much the same across the board (.223, 7.62x39 and .308 Saiga versions) and do these differ much from the other variants?

 

Or, is the Saiga trunion and receiver about like the Yugo and Romanian AK......didn't think so, but wondered.
