Hi guys, I read a post in one of the Saiga threads about using nylon plugs to fill the extra holes in a Saiga receiver after doing a conversion. I can't find the same reference now. Does anyone know anything about these plugs, like where they can be obtained? Is this something I can find at Home Despot?

Yup they almost look like rivits. These are going to stay till i get the 100series stock in place. After that I will weld the holes up before I refinish it.

JB Weld and sandpaper/ touchup paint looks good, still waiting to see how long it holds up.

Might want to e-mail one of the gunsmiths that do these conversions.  They may actually answer the question for you.

No JB Weld, and no touch up paint for me. Or were you talking about filling the holes?

Haven't had a chance to check back till just now. Thanks a million guys. I'm usually pretty resourceful, but I couldn't figure out what to do with those other damn holes! I'll give those plugs a try.

Shit. I was Lowe's last week looking through the drawers for something like that but didn't see anything. I'll have to go check again.
