| I have a single stack Hungarian SA2000M. Is it possible that I could convert it to take high cap mags? Because it takes expensive single stack mags. If I can can someone give me some advice of the easiest way and the cheapest way of doing it. Any info would help me out. Thanks. |

yes, it is easy to convert your hungarian akm to accept 30/40 round magazines and drums. first, you need to add 5 usa parts to the rifle. i would suggest the 3 fire control parts and 3 furniture parts (hammer, trigger, fdisconnector, buttstock, pistol grip and handguards) as being the easiest and quickest way to get legalfor the conversion. figure $30-40 for the trigger parts (on the cheap. better ones cost more) and maybe $80 for a furniture set...maybe a tad more or less depending on where you shop and what makes you happy. then, it's simply a matter of using a set of files and perhaps a dremel tool for rough stock romoval to open up the magazine well to accept the wider double-column magazine. go slowly and remove stock evenly from both sides. i find that scribing layout lines around a cut up old magazine top simplifies things, but it isn't a necessary step. file the magazine catch lever to suit...if required at all. |
