J A 0 Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 The SAR series are Romanian AK rifles. The numbers after the dash denote the chambering of the rifle. SAR-1 = 7.62x39mm SAR-2 = 5.45x39mm SAR-3 = 5.56x45mm The SAR-1 is a semi auto version of the AKM. The SAR-2 is a semi auto version of the AK-74. The SAR-3 is a modified SAR-2 chambered for the 5.56x45mm cartridge. The Saiga rifles are made by Izhmash in Russia. The Saiga is a modified AK-100 which is a updated version of the AK-74 rifle. http://www.izhmash.ru/eng/product/saiga.shtml Quote Link to post Share on other sites
