Saiga 308

[Ken C]

Been reading about this rifle and am thinking of trying to buy one. Any suggestions where to find one already 'converted' ?

FWIW, you'll generally pay a lot more for a converted rifle. The conversion process itself is relatively straight forward -- you can accomplish it in an afternoon in your garage using standard tools (drill, Dremel and a screw driver). Depending on how fancy you get with option, expect to spend $100-$150 in parts...you can use that as a guide to compare the purchase price for an already converted rifle (the unconverted is selling for $370 +S/H + FFL on GilbertsGuns.com)

I've got a couple of Tromix converted .308s in stock right now. Tony's guns aren't the cheapest, but he does excellent work.

Correia don't forget to add you'll have 20 round magazines available soon as well...!

Converting is easy, a little easier than the 7.62x39 saiga.

And it is a fine rifle.
Thx for the mag link, I really like the looks of the converted G3 steel mags a LOT.

MD, fingers crossed, September. Just waiting for the Russians to send me followers.

IIRC you don't need a bullet guide either for the .308
