saiga 223 conversion
Just finished my conversion. First time I ever really ripped a gun apart and changed out internals.

Saiga conversion isn't a caliber change, it is a stock/pistolgrip/trigger location change. 
Looks good!

No sweat. I have the Saiga 7.62 and the S12 shotgun...got the rifle back when it was only $179, and fell into the shotgun about a year ago for $380. They are a touch more these days.

The regular Saiga rifles that are imported to the USA with no evil scary pistol grip. To make the gun shootable without a pistol grip, they come into the country with the whole trigger group moved back to give the gun a more sporter-style appearance. Once they get to the states, people tear them apart and replace a lot of stuff to make it into a more tactical or assault style rifle. The whole trigger group and trigger guard has to be moved forward, a pistol grip added, along with some drilling, filing, and painting.
Once the gun is a scary assault style rifle, it has to have a certain percentage of American-made parts to be legal (spelled out in section 922r) so people often times put in American-made trigger groups and stocks to get to that required number of parts.

Looks nice, Jeremy. Give us a range and accuracy report, too.
I've got the Saiga12 and my son has a Saiga .308. I'm thinking I want a .223 or a 7.62x39, but I cant decide which. I already have the stock for the conversion, though.
