Changes

|quotetext=Despite the black furniture and the streamlined, polished look, this rifle's action is in fact based on the [[AKM|Kalashnikov]] pattern, though there are many significant differences. The Saiga-100 is a semi-automatic hunting rifle fitted with a 24 inch barrel and different, tighter-fitting parts and furniture. The .30-06 Springfield chambering was achieved without altering the size of the rifle's receiver, which is the same as an AK chambered in an intermediate cartridgeor magazine well; in turn, major concessions had to be made in the magazine, in which just three rounds can fit.
