I did a "full monty" Saiga conversion on my S308, and it wasn't mind bogglingly expensive. I paid just less than $400 for the rifle, I think around $110 for a great birch stock set from www.ironwooddesigns.com, RSA trigger group for roughly $100(could have saved by getting a Tapco), and the new gas tube from Dinzag for like $40, and the bolt on lower handguard retainer, also from Dinzag. I forget how much the butt cap was for the stock, and the pistol grip bolt and nut.From what I've read, Saiga conversion can be super cheap, or nearly mind-boggling in expense(IIRC, they need special forearms since the gas tube is different. I dislike the appearence of the converted Saiga with stock forearm.)
The SSR is the Bulgarian WASR. Parts not good enough for the .mil.

Slimjim, care to post your source for this info. I have never heard this.
No. I forgot to add that. I live in CT, and it has to be permanently affixed, so I haven't done it yet.Did you thread the barrel and add a muzzle device?
