The brake will have to be pinned/welded as well. Threads are a no-go on the barrel. Otherwise you should be ok as the ad list it as import compliant (922r). But at that price, you might want to look around for a saiga thats unconverted and do the conversion yourself. You wouldnt have to worry about the threaded barrel and you could still put a brake on it if preffered.

This may be a stupid question, but is threading a barrel still illegal even if you permanently attach a muzzle brake?

Thats the gray area no-one really walks or take a risk on i believe. Some of the more well versed members may want to chime in on this one, but youll already have a pistol grip so the second "evil feature" risk is a biggie. Will it be pinned and permanent, yes, but is it still threaded, yes. All it takes is one person to misinterpret and your up shits creek

this is not a grey area at all...

 

a threaded barrel is illegal unless it is no longer a threaded barrel..

a threaded barrel stops being one when a muzzle brake is permanently attached.. the idea being the threads do not exist any longer because the brake is a permanent part of the barrel...

 

just make sure its a brake and not a flash hider..

      Single stage will have a tighter tolerance, and you have more control over the process.  Progressives are for bulk range fodder. Every experienced reloader gave me the same advice when I was getting into the hobby, start with single stage, so you can truly understand the reloading process and what you have to do on your end to make great ammo.  Once you have mastered that, then you can think about a progressive. If you want to add a bit of convenience to your single stage reloading, a turret press (rotates the dies, not the shell plate) is probably better suited.  It is still effectively a single stage operation, but you don't have to keep removing and remounting dies. I'm not sure what you mean by this.  Whatever press you get, it will have to be secured to a work surface in some way.  I bought an inexpensive 20"x20" work surface from HF to permanently mount my shotshell press on.  It is mounted very sturdy and durable with the added 1/2" hardwood plank and extra big washers. If you haven't already, you should check out some of the reloading channels on YT.  Ultimate Reloader is one of my faves, but there are scores of others with great advice.  See it in action.

      The 550 is not a true progressive as it does not auto index, right? I'm in the process of selling myself on a XL750. For a starter press, you can't go far wrong with a Lee Classic Turret. It is cheap, auto indexes, and swapping calibers is easy. NB. If you go for a manually indexed press and work multiple cartridges at once, be particularly careful to monitor the powder drop stage to avoid no powder or double charges. With an auto indexing press the risk is way lower.

      The Dillon 550's are amazing machines.  Plenty fast, and while there are faster machines in the Dillon lineup, the trade-off is that the faster ones take longer to change between calibers, and the caliber conversion kits are more expensive.   You can use the 550 as a single stage press, one cartridge in the shell plate at a time, rotating between the stations after each handle pull.  It's a good way to start out and gain experience. I've got a single stage press as well, used for larger rifle cartridges and the occasional oddball handgun cartridge that I don't shoot enough to justify the cost of a caliber conversion kit for the Dillon...but it sounds like those use cases aren't in your immediate future.

      Why is the single stage an advantage exactly? Could I not build them on the progressive?

      My suggestion is to get a single stage too.  This way it's easier to build loads as for progressives I run two lee pro 1000s ones set up for large pistol primers and one for small.
