Haven't looked at the Atlantic website since they sold me one of those POS Lancaster Bulgarian's then refused to take it back.

Yes, and no. I re-installed BHO on my S-12 conversion as it's easier to get mags in with bolt open. I left both 5,45 conversions out as it doesn't seem very AK like, and I'm used to AKs being that way. Maybe if it was auto BHO on last shot I'd feel differently.

I actually have bird cage style flash hiders on two 5.45 conversions I've done. Really like the look. On both conversions I removed the Saiga FSBs and replaced them with surplus FSBs (one Romanian, and I forget what the other was... Hungarian I think.) I wanted to be able to use the spring and plunger pin to retain the flash hiders. Most aggravating part was dremmeling off the old FSBs. One drawback is the farthest back dimple from the Saiga pressed on FSB is left exposed by the shorter AK FSBs, but once painted it doesn't bother me in the least

LOL! I am not!

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I'm just thinking that maybe they are worth more to somebody with an unmodified rifle, than they are to me. I've already got a couple of low-cap steel 5.45 mags.

Granted that I haven't posted here a lot, but for some reason after I had to get a new password to sign, in I was listed as having 0 posts. WTF?

I've done two 5.45 conversions so I've got a couple useless mags lying around. Better to sell them, or grind down the feed lip so that they will work?
