I am going to convert a saiga to a PG version and may send it out for welding holes and refinish. Couldnt the cross hatch be removed by welding over and grinding down before refinish or some other epoxy filler then grind/refinish?

I have the LCP - and also the Kahr PM9. The LCP is really small and you almost forget you have it in your pocket (in holster). The Kahr PM9 is much larger than the LCP, but is perfect for jeans (also carry it in pocket). I dont think youll go wrong with the LCP. You can also add a crimson trace laser that adds nothing to the gun sizewise but nice addition.

If you install a bullet guide in your saiga, that will conflict with the bullet guide already built into the magazines for the saiga. You can grind off the mag bullet guide and it will feed standard aks and modded Saigas. Hope this helps.

Re the BHO, there is a 2 part video on youtube you can keep it with the pg conversion

im pretty sure legally im fine.. i called teh state police.. my concern was 992 compliance.. and what about my parts list.. am i missing anything.. any hints or tips.. Hello, Its easier if you count imported parts. YMMV not legal advice yada yada, but my understanding is that you need to keep import parts at 10 or less. You can find the letter re. AKs here somewhere. Based on what you said it looks like youre at 6 imported parts which means you GTG. (1) Receiver (2) Barrels (3) Mounting blocks, trunnion (rifles only) (4) Bolts (5) Bolt carriers (6) Gas pistons

Hi Its not a stupid question they can be hard to install - glad you got it.

The brake adds about 2". Ace cases make some inexpensive nice stuff.

The FSB can be a pain in the azz to remove. Best bet may be to cut it longways with a dremel - carefully and dont cut into the barrel!

~ 38" end to end (with muzzle brake 74 style)

If you already installed the guide and the thirty works then I would leave the gun and feed ramp alone. Unless you have another Saiga you are going to use the 10 rounder in, just modify it to fit what you have now. Hold both mags together and see the raised feed lip on the 10 rounder. Shave it down to look like the thirty. On your pre-converted Saiga that raised lip is your bullet guide. You now have a nice one built right into your rifle so you no longer need the one on the mag. If you installed a bullet guide, then the stock saiga mags will not cycle properly The purpose of instal

fixed stock, non threaded barrel (or permanently affixed muzzle brake). No more than 15 round mags. US compliance parts. Youll be gtg YMMV in the gulag.

Joe, thanks for the compliment. I actually have this site to thank for all the help! - Furniture - KVar black Nato length stock kit (US parts). - (bought at KVar). All the following purchased from Dinzag - Front sight base, threads turned down (no bayo lug), muzzle brake welded on, barrel pin to press new FSB on - Tapco G2 trigger kit modded for saiga - bullet guide kit - Lower handguard retainer - bolt on - Ak gas tube - Cleaning rod For magazines, Im going with either double stack Chinese 10 rounders, or modded 30 to 15 rounders (cut down 30's) - touc

Dinzag sold me a tack welded a muzzle brake on a new FSB (with cleaning rod holder). Was very reasonable cost (far far less than having the barrel threaded then brake welded on). Reach out to him he can help. Great guy.
