Are there any places or smiths that will convert a saiga? 

It's an easy conversion.....plenty of YouTube videos....even barrel threading is pretty simple ....Carolina shooters supply is where I get most of my conversion parts

You can buy an arsenal saiga

Really easy to do yourself. After you do one, you will laugh how easy it was. I was reluctant at first, but I took my time and mine came out well.

What are you looking to have done? You should be very carful when converting a saiga in NJ. The wrong mods could land you in a lot of trouble.

Wrong mods? like what?

 

Can you still use AK furniture with the conversions?

 

Sorry to jack, but the thread got me looking into it and i think i want to give it a go.

There is some odd stuff with compliance with something called 922r compliance. This means that it has to have a certain number of american parts vrs foreign parts. I am no expert but I would check into it. Adding a pistol grip is also questionable in nj. Also no high cap mags or collapsible stocks. I know this is not much help but I hope this helps some what in answering your question. I too have a saiga 223 and I did a couple mods such as a quad rail from Midwest industries and it's an amazing product! I then added a forward grip and bushel red dot. I really enjoy it!

did you by any chance read the link I posted about your post.. 

 

it explains the whole thing with a fair amount of detail.. 

One last thing if you can purchase the Surefire mags they are fantastic! I think the company is know as sgm Tactical I hope this helps.

How much is an unconverted going for these days used?

I was just looking over your posting a few min ago. Thank you for putting together such wonderfully detailed information on this NJ is so hard to know what is compliant.

How far do you want to take the conversion? That would determine the level of difficulty. For a simple pistol grip cconversion you need minimal tools and its relatively painless..

I have a kit for sale to do a rear conversion on a Saiga to an AK NATO Length for $150.00 if you decide to do it yourself.

I hope to have one of these by the end of the week. I was only planning on getting a the Krebs AK-15 when ever that releases but with Kalashnikov dead I figured Id buy a 7.62 before the prices sky rocket. 

Once you pay someone to convert a Saiga you are just better off buying something else off the shelf

He wasn't building them all himself. There should still be a few to go around.

That is true. I was just worried maybe the prices would go up, not to mention its almost grab-their-guns season.

I was just having fun with you.

The only bad time to buy a Saiga is in the periodic panics. I am slot buying ammo and stacking it deep.
