The Saiga-MK self-loading carbine is patterned after the AK74M Kalashnikov rifle.

Its 030 version has a removable muzzle brake, sight leaf and an index-finger-adapted safety lock.

The 033 version (short-barreled) enjoys a non-removable flame suppressor.

The carbine’s standard configuration features an elongated dispenser magazine, unfolding plastic butt and a side rib for the installation of telescope mounts.

A Picatinny rail is included on the right and lower parts of the plastic fore-end for the installation of accessories (such as a fore grip or an under-barrel flashlight). The weapon is designed in a manner that prevents butt-folded firing.
