Stilleto, where did you have your conversion done? I'm in KC and looking for a smith locally to have it converted. Send me a PM when you have a second. Thanks

Thanks for the replies. The evil black rifles looks like it will be the best option for me. He isn't too far away either. I am not too sure of the duracoat finish. I need to do some research as I don't want a glossy finish. I think a parkerized finish might be nice. Any opinions on both duracoat or a plain parkerize?

Yeah I am reviewing the FAQ for the conversion. I am just not setup to handle that. I am without a vice and pretty much all the tools. While I could go out and buy them I'd still be without a vice. Back to square 1, looking for someone who is able to do a professional job. I'm in the KC area if anyone knows someone who is familiar with the S12 conversions.

Thanks for the welcome! I was under the impression that some cutting would need to be done in order to move the trigger forward and replacing the stock. I'm going to go browse MAA now to see what parts I might need. Also, is there a DIY posted anywhere that you know of that explains how to do this step by step?

I've been cruising these forums for a while and have waited to post until I had finally bought the Saiga-12. I have the base gun and I want to get the PG and stock replaced. I understand I need some gunsmithing work to accomplish this. Other than Tromix, who else is capable of doing this in a reasonable amount of time? Can I take it to any reputable gunsmith? If so, what exactly should I tell them? Excuse my lack of knowledge here, I've never had to go see a gunsmith before and a n00b with the Saiga. Thanks in advance!
