yes, i know this should be posted on the saiga forum ( i already have) but that's not the most active of forums.
anyway, i recently got a saiga x39 with the intention of doing the ever-popular legal conversion to pistol-grip/hi-cap standard AK platform. yesterday while fidgeting with both a saiga and a standard AK mag, it looked like i could bypass the grinding of the steel mag catch on every magazine to be converted, and instead simply dremel away 1/8 " or so of the top of the magazine catch lever. this part isn't expensive should it get screwed up,and it keeps all the mags unaltered for use in standard AKs or converted saigas. any downside to this that i'm not seeing? as always, thanks for any input......
