Differences in Saiga 5.45x39 models... M3 EXP-01, IZ-340, IZ-240

[bassackwards 3]

What are the differences in the different models? How do I tell them apart by looking at them since the only ones that I can find right now are on gunbroker and most do not list the model and cannot tell me when asked.

 

I have a 5.56 suppressor already that I would like to use with this rifle as well with a Q.D. Flash suppressor. Thanks.

The only ones we'll see in the states, assuming your here, are the IZ-340 and 240. The M3 EXP-01 is a semi-auto export model that wont come into the US due to its configuration and shitty import regs, and is in the proper configuration that we all want. Plus its a 7.62x39 and not a 5.45. The 340 has the front end done, but retains the sporter trigger and buttstock, and the 240 does not have the front end done, and has the sporter handguard, as well as the rearward trigger and hunting buttstock.

 

 

ETA: I think they also offer the M3 EXP-01 in .223 as well.

When is import of sporter ak-107s expected? Been reading that Izhmash intends to sell semi autos to civilian market
