.223
This past summer 7.62 ammo was scarce locally. In the spring .223 was scarce.
I own 2 Saiga .223's,a WASR 10 and a Draco AK pistol in 7.62.
If one caliber ammo is scarce, the other is usually available.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
Mindslant, I am in NW Harris county and have converted both my Saigas. If you need conversion parts, Tac47-Industries (forum sponsor)is local and can supply all your parts at a good price.
Have fun with your new toy.
Check the for sale section private sellers. Most of the parts you will need have just been posted at a great price.

My guess is that you bought the ProMag for the WASR3 which is chambered in 223.
Here is the correct part #

I am located in NW Harris County, and have two .223 that need to be done. I would like for someone to walk me thru doing the conversion on one of them, and I will tackle the second one myself. Are you available to help out?
