Self-loading carbine "Saiga MK-107"

Domestic "Saiga MK-107" developed by the Izhevsk gunsmiths. It is made in the form of a semi-automatic civilian modification of the AK-108. The weapon was created and released in 1997-1998. on the basis of a cell version of the famous "Kalashnikov". The main difference between models is the use of a balanced automatics. Its made in the image of the AL-7 ( "Abakan"). The main purpose of weapons: sports use, hunting small game, protection of possessions.

The concept and dynamics of

Main carbine device "Saiga MK-107" includes a balanced automation. This design involves neutralization pulse heavy weapon moving elements by equipping it with a balancer (protivomassoy). The device is moved opposite the direction of the closure unit, minimizing its sliding and return pulses which affect the stability of the rifle when administered firing. This improves the dynamics and the aiming at the moving targets in a difficult position.

By incorporating a balancing structure reduces recoil guns vibration and instability of the trunk portion, which is especially appropriate when the high-speed shooting mode. In the mass production of "Saiga MK-107" with a balanced automatics released in 2016. Start the modification proposed in the caliber of "Remington 223".

The principle of operation

Considered the weapon is equipped with an automatic with a pair of pistons that serve to exhaust. They are set against one another, are part of the overall cylinder, which is placed in the middle of the barrel. The rear gas piston interacts with the slide frame through rod. After the operation, he comes back, the recharge made weapons.

The front element is connected with the elongate balance bar located above the gas cylinder and the gate portion. It moves along the path "back and forth". Synchronous interaction balance and frame provide two gears placed in a special compartment, which when fired is real. Also these elements interact with holes in the rod, the piston and the balance bar.

"Saiga MK-107": device

In case of partial disassembly of the carriage with the gears disengaged from the kit as a unit. It includes a balance bar with a return spring. The final element in the receiver box is manufactured by stamping. From the axis of weapons mechanism is shifted to the left.

Closing the trunk is performed on a standard principle, inherent AK. There are butterfly valves type with a pair of lugs. Cocking levers are made on both sides of the bolt, move while shooting her in the bundle. Tying the barrel box equipped with a special guide member for an extra optics.

Above the trigger fuse box is located in a transverse key. Furthermore, the design of "Saiga MK-107" includes gate delay shoplifting shaft accelerating overcharging. Ferrule itself in the majority of cases taken from line rifles AR-15 or M-16. Awkward butt telescopic adjustable in length.

Main features

Domestic self-loading carbine "Saiga MK-107" has the following technical parameters:

• serial caliber - 223rd "Remington" (5, 56h45);
• total length of weapons - 98 centimeters;
• that of a buttstock - 1, 03 meters;
• barrel 41 has a length of 5 centimeters;
• weight - four and a half kilograms;

When all the pros considered the rifle he has one significant drawback - a large mass, which is 900 grams more than in the standard "Saiga".

History

Since the model AK-107/108 caliber 5, 45/39 and 5, 56/45 have not found wide use in the market for various reasons, the Izhevsk gunsmiths decided to make a cunning marketing ploy. They have developed and released a civilian modification called "Saiga MK-107."

It is a weapon for the intended purpose is focused on athletes involved in practical shooting. Underlying the idea was to create a sports carbine-based IPS. In this case, it should be cheaper and more accurate analogues. The undeniable advantage of the new weapon was the lack of shake the trunk when the doublets, because there is a special mechanism for correcting the moving elements of the weapons in extreme legs.

This solution strikes the bolt repaid compensating pulses balancing chamber, which reduces bounce in the shooting. As compared with the classical variant modifications balanced automatic grouping has almost twice as high.

Features

Presumably, the unique semi-automatic mode for this carabiner prevents civil vprygivanie weapons from the hands of an inexperienced hand. An instance of MK-107 is equipped with a telescopic butt, ergonomic pistol grip, straps complex "Picatinny", which enable the use of a variety of additional attachments. These include:

• optical sights;
• collimators;
• handle a different type;
• night vision devices.

All the weapons inventory focused on NATO standards. Even caliber cartridge corresponds to popular indicators used in the Northern Alliance. Obviously, the shotgun will be produced primarily for export, respectively, it is guaranteed to succeed not only in domestic spaces. This is especially true for countries where the Kalashnikov weapons enjoys unquestioned authority over the years.

Conclusion

There are all prerequisites for a self-loading carbine "Saiga MK Spanish. 107 "became a sensation in the arms market in its category. This is due to excellent design, require minimal maintenance and high accuracy of fire, which provides a balanced automatics. Moreover, the popularity of the considered weapons that can be used for self-defense and hunting, do not take long, both in Russia and abroad.
