    Is this a partially converted Saiga Kalashnikov AK?

    I noticed these on Atlantic's website. Does anyone have any info about them? When I search for them I get the info for the standard Saigas that don't have the pistol grip and cannot accept ak mags. It looks like the trigger is in the correct place however it looks like it has the rivets to remove in order to convert it, but to what I'm not sure as it looks like it's already in the correct location. thanks for any info.

    Looks like its been converted to take standard mags and has been converted to accept a pistol grip. Front end is still in its sporter form

      I recently pick up one of those from my LGS, and it's a real nice shooter. My first AK style rifle and I really like it. The bullet guide is welded in and the fit and finish is "pretty good". I put about 200 rnds of wolf through it my first outing and not a single issue what so ever. I'm pretty sure it's more accurate than I am too.

        Looks similar to the Saiga I converted myself. I did the rear end only. I bought the sported for 350 and spent around 100 in parts to do it myself. That was back in 2011 or so.

          It looks like the FCG was the only thing moved. The two "rivets" above the pistol grip appear to be those plastic plug that come in CSS Saiga conversion kits.

            Back in 2010, these started showing up in bulk. There were two versions, I bought three of the second versions.

            This version was a rear conversion, I suspect it was done stateside. The second versions were front end conversions with a 26mm flash hider which I believe were factory made.
