Where to get Saiga converted to accept Hi Caps

[michiganfan]

Got a Saiga in 223 that I would like converted to accept Hi Caps. Who does this and who would you trust?

I don't know who does it specifically....although Jason at IGF will probably do it for you and he does excellent work.

I know they/ve converted Saigas in their other calibers.

Chris at AK USA has done some very impessive work.

The AK-47.net Build It Yourself forum has a lot of good info on doing it yourself.

This is a project I'd like to try sometime. It doesn't look too difficult if you are reasonably handy.

Saigas are not particularly hard to convert, and the quality is much higher than a Romanian (for about the same price in the end). The .223 takes a little more work for the mags, but there is a good sticky in the russian AK forum on AR15.com. For the rest of the conversion, I put together some instructions; if you want a copy, email me at [email protected].

I am currently helping a buddy convert a 7.62x39 Saiga; this is the third one I've done and I think I could have the whole thing ready for paint in 2 hours if I did it in one shot. Really not that difficult and lots of fun to tinker with.

If you are looking for a smith to do it for you, Chris @ AK-USA is at the top of a fairly short list in my opinion. Hard to beat his service and quality. If you have the time and means however....it is doable yourself.
