Johnny 0 Posted July 23, 2012 After doing the 7.62x39 conversion I have started to think about doing another. I am leaning towards a 5.45x39. Is there any difference in the conversion process as compared to the 7.62? Are all the necessary parts the same? I'm thinking wood furniture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny 0 Posted July 24, 2012 Thanks for the reply. I see you have one in stock. I will start getting some funds together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Worn_Holster 2 Posted January 23, 2014 Here is another example of what others charge to do the conversion (labor only) http://overlandindustries.com/kits.php "We also perform "professionally grade" Saiga conversions, back half is $150.00, and front half is $100.00 (labor only, you supply the parts). Saiga conversion do not include a full refinish as described below, just touch up of areas worked on" So total $250 plus shipping both ways(average $25 each way) =$300 Any less than than $250 for labor is a bargain(maybe $200-$225 for the members here ) I used Overland Industries for an AMD65 build and Gary does outstanding work. I would highly recommend him if you were to chose a builder for your Saiga task. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FLHX 1 Posted January 23, 2014 I used Overland Industries for an AMD65 build and Gary does outstanding work. I would highly recommend him if you were to chose a builder for your Saiga task. You had someone convert a Saiga for you? Just wondering why you didn't do it yourself and about how much did you pay for that work? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuRrEaLNJ 294 Posted January 6, 2021 What happened to all the pretty pictures? I was looking for a mental refresher before gearing up to convert another. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
