I need a saiga iz132 converted but I'm not sure who to trust. I can't afford for this gun to be ruined as I can't replace it. Who is the best company for this job?

Saiga conversions are fairly simple, but the first question is what level of conversion?

If you want to do a clone then it will be more expensive. If you just want more of a functional rifle then it will be cheaper and easier. What I mean by this is for clone correct you are going to need to rivet in a trigger guard, replace both the fsb and gb, notch the barrel for a handguard retainer, etc., or you could just use a bolt in trigger guard, keep the factory fsb and gb and thread the barrel as is and use a bolt on handguard retainer, or any mix of those.

I just did a .223 Saiga conversion and did it myself with basic tools with the exception of swapping out the fsb, paid someone local to do that for me.
