finally wrapped up my Saiga conversion.....
Details.....
16" 7.62x39 Saiga (Stanleys Pro Shop)
G2 single hook trigger group (on sale at Midway)
NATO length fixed poly stock (KVAR)
domestic regular style PG (Midway)
PG nut and bolt (KVAR)
Surplus mags (Romanian?) (Scopes Dist.)
surplus mag. tabs filed
10 round OEM mag. trimmed w/ utility knife.
bullet guide fabricated from 3/4" pipe.
fore stock slots cut with 5/16" end mill at work
binder bolt heads turned down and painted.
BHO cut into safty lever with a Dremel.
trigger plate rivots and spot weld drilled on drill press.
PG nut & trigger cutouts were there waiting for me when I popped off the sporter triggerr plate
Rifle has passed function tests with Wolf MC HP, Win. FMJ and Fed. FMJ ammo. no cycling or feeding issues noted.
I've got just over $400 into this rifle, including FFL fee and shipping charges.
This is my first AK, so I can't really comment on accuracy untill I get more time with standard AK iron sights.
I set up to load x39, so it's time to crank out some ammo and get this puppy some serious time on the range.
my one word of advise......
don't fool around with #6 taps when you install your bullet guide. Trust me, just go straight to a #8 and go VERY slow and easy.
