Lato, you need to come to one of the shoots at Miller's campground and bring those toys! Check the Ohio Hometown forum if you haven't already! |

It's all my work. The folder really wasn't too bad, the hardest part was the retainer pin drilling in the front trunion. Overall the hardest part was the barrel, getting the dimensions correct on the FSB, GB, HGR. and the grooves for the HGR. Here's another pic with the "proper mag", sorry it has the other gun in there. But it shows the differnce in the mags.

Mine, actually never converted it. It's my first AK I have ever bought came like this for $425. http://www.gunsnet.net/album/data//500/31417DSCF0124-med.JPG |
Well I've found out there are two types of mags. The one I used has a follower that has a long leg at the front and the mag does not have the follower stops at the front. If you see one you'll know what I'm talking about. I cut the front of the mag down to look like the Saiga mag and I had to open up the front trunion of the rifle. I had to fix the back of the mag due to the mag catch was too high. It took awhile, but i've been told just start with a HK mag and things will work better. I have to get some this week. |
Sweet! |
Will that work with the higher capacity galil mags? |
Kreb's really earned his money on that one, it's a beautiful rifle! |
|
MadDog, that's exactly how I want to set my SAIGA 12 up! 
|
I just put aces new receiver adapter on so when folded there wouldnt be that big block hanging out. They also sent me a foam tube to put on the top bar of my folder. I noticed rifled slugs started to hurt my cheak a little after awhile so I thought some padding might help. 
|
you right that is a beautifal rifle but the finish on it makes me SAD 
|
why's that? |
