The Saiga 223 is an AK-pattern, semi-automatic sporting rifle produced by Izhmash and configured for the .223 Remington cartridge. The platform retains the general operating characteristics of the AK family—robust, long-stroke gas operation and conventional AK ergonomics—while using .223-caliber internal geometry and magazine interfaces suited to the cartridge.

This example is notable for a visible dimple formed in the receiver near the magazine well and ships with a single 10-round magazine. Controls and sighting are the standard AK arrangement (right-side charging handle, right-side safety/selector, front post and tangent rear). The receiver is compatible with common AK-pattern accessories and features a left-side rail for optic-mounting capabilities. No original box or accessories included.
