I have a .223 Saiga and am going to purchase a bullet guide. I hear galil mags can be used with a bullet guide. Is this the same bullet guide as the standard 5.56 ak mags or is it different? I have searched high and low and cant seem to find anything. Anyone have any info on this?

Ok thanks i think i got it now.

i know I am way late on this.. but when I had a 556 saiga I modded it to take very common AR15 mags.. that is IMO a way better option..

Def the better option.

I read horror stories fitting the adapter. Did you do it yourself

I did it myself.  It was probably the hardest part of the conversion.  Just take your time and check your work multiple times.

 

I did not have any experience modifying guns when I did this and learned everything by watching the videos on youtube.

Which adapte did you use. I was originally going to fo this but then i read mixed reviews. They are sounding more positive now tho

i have built quite a few Saigas.. I did my own and it sucked..  but the outcome was amazing..
