Too bad they only have 1 picture and don't give any details on the gun.

Have to wonder, will it take standard AK mags?
Is that a flash hider or muzzle brake?
Is that stock ambidextrious or right handed only?

    That's the best looking AK variant I've seen.

    In addition to the stuff you noted I'd like a better view of the sights.

    Looking at the dust cover and the trigger looks like none of the internals will be the same except maybe the piston system.

    Has a Mini 14 look to it.
    Wonder where the safety is located.

    good looking is a subjective term, one that I would not apply to that rifle.

    Saigas do not take standard AK mags.

    You can do a little grinding on an AK mag and make it kinda-sorta work. IIRC, the grinding is done on the latching lug, but it has been a number of years. I ended up tossing the mags.

    It looks like a standard Saiga mag in the photo, however. These are not terribly expensive.
    Freedom and a submissive populace cannot co-exist.

    This one is a Vepr - different company than Izmash (Saiga). Your probably right on the mags though but I can hope.

    Nice looking gun but I can't stand those right handed cheek rests being left handed.

    Just maybe it's on both sides.
    Doubtful though.
