Who does the conversions and how much does it generally cost to convert pnr of the new saigas fully front and rear?

 

Sorry, I had to

Lmao

Unless you are doing a super fancy conversion, most people do it themselves. the only tool you really need is a dremel to knock out two rivets.Go to VIMEO.com and search for the Saiga conversion video. converted mine in an hour and a half.

Thank you

Mine took about 2 1/2 hours... 1 hour to let the paint dry... 15 minutes to get that @#$% bolt-hold-open spring to stay in place.

I rarely even put those in anymore.. it is surprising how most people don't even care about them.. granted it is a LOT of extra time..

wanted to make the process a little bit more exciting... otherwise, it was going to be too easy

The old Dental Floss technique works well. Double up a length of dental floss and knot it so you have a double thick length of floss. Put it through the spring loop then put the two free ends through the hold open slot. Tie the two ends to the grip or trigger guard. That will keep the spring under tension and allow you to get the bolt through it.

i did the pistol grip conversion, bullet guide and threaded the barrel for the muzzle brake all my self with no prior machining! only help from this forum. i say yup do it your self, its very easy, and fun but just take your time dont rush, rushing is bad when working with metal...i used a small zip tie instead of floss for the bolt hold open spring. post pics when done we saiga owners love pics...

Excellent. Bullet guide is something I meant to do last time but never did. I bet it would be easier with a drill press.

becareful doing that part, if you check one of my old threads i almost botched it, i was supposed to do it by hand but "duh" me rushing! i did it with a hand drill and the drill bit broke half way through the job but luckily the drill bit was cracked so with a tweezer and wd40 i was able to pull the little pieces out the hole. i brought another bit and finished it by hand. go slow is the mantra with metal.
