The AK-74 (Russian: Автомат Калашникова образца 1974 года or "Kalashnikov automatic rifle model 1974") is a 5.45mm assault rifle developed in the early 1970s in the Soviet Union. It was developed from the earlier AKM (itself a refined version of the AK-47) and introduced in 1974.
The rifle first saw service with Soviet forces engaged in the Afghanistan conflict.[2] Presently, the rifle continues to be used by the majority of countries of the former USSR. Additionally, unlicensed copies were produced in Bulgaria (AK-74 and AKS-74U), China (Type 88), the former East Germany (MPi-AK-74N, MPi-AKS-74N, MPi-AKS-74NK) and Romania ........Although a fine rifle, the Saiga is a different animal...

As I stated still not a Russian AK74. The fact that Saigas are built in Russia by Izhmash is well known but thanks for the picture anyway.

Look at it like this, if you put GTO badges on a Pontiac Lemans you can't sell it to someone as a GTO.
OK got it... I used to have a '68 Lemans and know full well it's shortcomings in the GTO department. Good comparison - thanks! I changed the title into something hopefully more acceptable.
Another comparison I suppose would be between an original Belgian FAL and a CAI FAL...
