I'm going to order a 5.45 sporter soon, and intend to convert to AK style rear... I'd like a folding stock setup, but I'd really rather have a left side folding stock... Doesn't seem there are too many of those available. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Done some looking around and signed up at the saiga-12 forum. Found that the ACE side folding stock should be the ticket. Found a vendor that has pretty much all the parts I'll need, and gives a 5% discount with a code he posted on the saiga forum. Since his prices are pretty much where I'd expect 'em, I'll throw him some business and get a discount while I'm at it! |

I've used ACE internal conversion blocks on both my folding-stock conversions (S12 and 7.62). They both fold to the left. Pretty sure I can just rotate the pivot block 180 if I want them to fold to the right instead. |

Yeah, I did some looking around at the Saiga forum and found a couple vendors... found the blocks that bolt right in to the Saiga receiver. Should make for a very nice clean install. I'm going to leave the front end, but would like to end up getting an Ultimak rail to mount a dot on. Too bad the IronDot isn't available from LaRue anymore... |

Here's my latest conversion. Still lacks welding, refinish, and bullet guide.
   not very happy about how this turned out...  rivets aren't as flush as I would like either. I will probably replace these.

For those that are looking for a matching paint to hit the receiver with after removing the Clinton Trigger Plate... look no further than the $6 can of Duplicolor Low Gloss Engine Enamel.
It's a perfect match in person and under a camera flash.. only way I can tell is because there is a ridge where the paint met the tape. |

^^ thanks for the heads up. That'll definitely be of help when I spray mine.

Are these things parkerized under that paint? Because I dislike the glossy finish, park looks better IMO. |

Whenever I get around to getting my holes welded up I'm going to get it park'd and cerakoted. |

My just completed Saiga 12 conversion. Ordered the Tapco folder because it was quick and cheap. Will definitely be changing up soon. Edit: Updated pic to new foreend as well. Now to find a cheapish reflex that can handle the 12ga round.
