Purchased a Saiga 7.62 from Peach State guns. I started the conversion the 2nd day I had the rifle. I purchased all of the conversion parts from Carolina Shooting Supply and used Crosscon webpage to guide me through the conversion. I also used a couple of Youtube clips to help me as well.
The conversion was pretty much easy, but it is a lot of pain staking work. You can not make a mistake and drill into the receiver! My trigger plate removal was perfect!
I still need to work on installing the hold bolt open piece and get a front site group installed so I can screw on a flash hider. I will do that much later.
Now to take it out to the range!
Forgot to mention I ordered the furniture from K Var.com
Let me try and break down the items and cost.
Saiga Rifle $419 OTD includes shipping and DROS at Riflegear
Furniture $110
Gas tube $30
Handguard retainer $30
2 magazines $50
Trigger group $27
Bullet button $40
retaining plate $6
pistol grip screw and nut $7
Total about $719
