Saiga 762 x39 Conversion done
Posted: Sun Jun 18, 2006 7:42 am
I bought a Saiga rifle in 7.62x39 I really wanted a 5.56 but could not get one so I settled for the Saiga. I had converted an Saiga 12 shotgun which was much harder than the rifle. I sat down a the kitchen table and did the conversion in a few hours over a few days. If you condsidering doing such a conversion yourself, I have a little advice.
Some Saigas come with the square pistol grip hole already some don't you want one with he hole. You will need to do a little filing but it is no problem.
Make sure you have all the needed Section 922r complince parts on hand before you start.
Visit the www.saiga-12.com forum and check out the technical help section there is a step by step guide to conversion there.
It might be a good idea to join that forum so if you run in to a problem you can ask a question. I had one on my first project and had the correct answer within 15 minutes.
My new gun has a Nato legnth stock, Tapco G2 trigger gourp, a saw style pistol grip and a few other things. I hope to make it my 3 gun rifle.
