I picked up the gun in the photos for $499 shipped and I'm looking to finish the conversion. It's a 5.49x39 Saiga. I know I need handguards and a couple other parts... Basically, I'd like to know what parts I need to finish out the front of the gun. If you have recommendations on good parts at a reasonable cost, please let me know. I appreciate the help in advance gents.

It looks like you have the HG retainer grooves cut on either side of the barrel, but have you checked the top to see if there is a groove for the locking lever to seat in?
I had to cut both side grooves and the top on my friend's Saiga but it didn't take long.

Luckily this is easy to do with a round file. |
