Saiga 5.45 comparison


Recommended Posts

Folks,

I've got two of the Century Tantals that luckily shoot quite nicely - no keyholes! The only thing I don't like is the lack of a chrome-lined bore and chamber! My question is this - compared to the AK-74 variants on the market that have been built on various parts kits, does the Saiga 5.45 demonstrate better accuracy?

saigafreake, I finally got off my duff and ordered my saiga!!! I ordered an IZ240, 5.45x39 and should have it by next Tuesday! I'll start ordering conversion parts tomorrow. Looking at changing the stock, fire control group, adding a pistol grip, and bullet guide. Also looking at threading the barrel for a flash suppressor, and possibly modifying the handguard.

I am torn between doing the same thing and ordering/building an 5.45 upper for my M4!

I had the same dilemma, I did both since I ran across a used M&P upper, and am in the process of direct comparison. So far the AR upper is winning the accuracy comparison, both have functioned 100% so far.
