Direction for Disassembly for Cleaning

and Maintenance and Reassembly

Make sure the gun is unloaded and pointed in a safe

direction. Make sure the safety is on. There is no

excuse for not being careful.

Fig 1: With the bolt in the forward position and the

safety engaged

Fig 2: Depress the Upper Receiver Release Latch

button and then depress the latch

Fig 3: Grasp the dust shroud and pull it away from the

receiver body, now the internal mechanism of the

firearm is exposed

Fig 4: Push the Upper Receiver Latch forward with your

thumb and index finger controlling the latch. Push the

latch far enough forward so that it is free of the latch rails

and lift up and remove the latch assembly from the

receiver... Be careful because the latch is under

spring tension.

Fig 5: Disengage safety and then pull bolt assembly

to the rear and remove from receiver.

Fig. 6: Separate the bolt from the bolt support, to do

this move the bolt backward, give it half a turn counter-

clockwise and take it out by using a forward motion.

To reassemble start with reinstalling bolt assembly

and work your way backward through the steps of

assembly.

Fig. 13-15 : On the “Saiga”, “Saiga-308-1” rifle turn

the gas tube cotter pin upwards with the aid of the

accessories container, detach the gas tube using an

upward motion. On the “Saiga-410”, “Saiga-20”, “Saiga-

12” shotguns separate the gas tube stopper. To do this

push the spring-loaded plunger flush with a drift pin an

undo the stopper with the aid of a screwdriver

counterclockwise and withdraw the piston.
