Huh?
Sorry to argue you over this but the Saigas are made in Russia. Izhmash is located in Izhevsk Udmurt Republic, Russia and their rifles are made there. Izhmash is the factory that makes Siagas.
The Saigas are rifles and shotguns imported under the sporting clause which allows them to circumvent the ban on assault weapon importation. They are imported with no bayonet lug, no flash hider (not threaded), sporting style stocks (no pistol grip or thumbhole), and mags are limited to 10 rounds.
Once they are legally in the US, they are then converted to "US made" to comply with the 922r rules which means they cannot have more than 10 imported parts. So American companies such as Arsenal will replace the trigger groups (3 US parts), pistol grip, stock, front handguard, and gas pistons. Once those parts, the gun is legally "American" made and you can use high cap mags and all the fun stuff. You can then thread the barrels too and put a US made flash hider on them too.
But the receivers, barrels, trunnions, bolts, bolt carriers, top covers, etc are all genuine real Russian parts. Quite often, the receivers are dimpled Y stamped military receivers that just never had the evil 3rd hole punched.
All Russian American Armory is is an importer. They are no different than any gun importer like Century, American Tactical Imports, Legacy Sports, and even Springfield Armory (they import the XD line of pistols. But RAA isn't a factory.
