Nick T 4 Posted January 9, 2011 Can you guys tell me if this is the Saiga you did your AK builds with if so I'm ordering it, also it says it doesn't take standard AK rounds fairly new to these rifles can someone shed light on this for me. So I can grab this bad boy before they are out of stock... Also vendors could you PM me about possibly doing the transfer just so I know who will and who won't. http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/storeproduct708.aspx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cavalier1979 0 Posted January 9, 2011 It says it does not take standard ak magazines. I have read that it can be modified fairly easy to accept standard ak mags. I was going to go this route and build my own but went with an Arsenal SLG21 instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick T 4 Posted January 9, 2011 Sorry ADD kicked in was talking to my buddy about an ammunition buy and crossed words thanks for the correction Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cavalier1979 0 Posted January 9, 2011 I had a feeling you meant mags Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pew Pew Plates 358 Posted January 9, 2011 Thats the rifle people convert, yes. It will take standard double stack mags if you install a bullet guide into the rifle, which is cheap and easy to do. Just google "saiga bullet guide" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cavalier1979 0 Posted January 9, 2011 Glenn do you mind me asking how much does it cost in parts to convert a saiga in 7.62 to a proper ak variant? I can grab a saiga for 400.00 I just want to get an idea for a total. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick T 4 Posted January 9, 2011 Thanks Glenn putting a call into TJ tomorrow to see if we will do the transfer for me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vjf915 456 Posted January 9, 2011 I am almost positive that is the rifle people are converting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pew Pew Plates 358 Posted January 9, 2011 Depends on how far you are going to convert. Vlad would have better numbers but it depends on what furniture you are getting, if your doing just the pistol grip conversion, or if your doing the whole front end too. Pistol grip only Full on conversion. Aside from pistol grip mods shown previously and obvisouly furniture style, this had the gas tube, gas block, and handguard retainer changed. Also cleaning rod was added. Muzzle threaded with a slant brake added (would have to be welded in NJ along with lug shaved) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cavalier1979 0 Posted January 9, 2011 All I want to know how much it costs to convert a saiga 7.62 to look like the one you have with wood furniture. I do not need an exact number just an estimate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick T 4 Posted January 9, 2011 Chris I wanna say like an extra $200-$250 on top of the rifle I know you can get the new wood furniture for like $150 then I'm guessing another $100 for pistol grip and whatever Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
