Going through the same agonizing decision myself. Either a 16'' Vepr 308 Version 2, or a 16'' Saiga 308. Seems like a the Saiga has more options for magazines, and furniture, but the Vepr comes almost readily converted with only a few parts needed for 922r. I'm pretty well read on the Saiga 308, lurking these forums and what not. I wish I knew more about the Veprs, and if it would be as viable converting to a battle rifle type setup.

Thanks alot fellas, you've all been extremely helpful. I'll be sure to post pics when the conversion is completed!

Thanks alot man. Yeah, I've wanted to get a Saiga 12 for a few years now, the local funshows and retailers seem to only carry 20g and 410g, so eventually when I decide to buy a big bad Russian boom-stick, I'll probably have to buy it online.

@ redsoldier That is exactly how I'd like to convert a Saiga x39. Awesome Rifle!

Hey guys, I'm a new member as you can see. This forum has really started to convince me into buying a Saiga and converting it. I am leaning toward a 7.62x39mm variant (Which is why I'm posting this here). I really like the idea of turning a sporting rifle into a prime example of a Russian AK variant. I am somewhat of a greenhorn when it comes to drilling, tapping etc. but Azrial's rant on why not to convert, ended up converting me! I really like the idea of learning a thing or two and creating something I'm proud of. Ok, so if you can bear with me, here it goes: 1. Can someone link or PM
