  1. Need this ASAP! Pin for my magazine latch....matches part number 37 in the diagram linked below. Thank you! http://www.schiessen-erzgebirge.de/...nts/ak47ddr.gif
  2. your setup looks good! but i'd strongly encourage you to do the conversion...i am very mechanically disinclined and i did it in 3 hours with a buddy who had a shop available...pm me for pictures!
  3. That is some crazy law.. Crazy law...yes...but you can reload! the law says that the magazine is considered "fixed" if it takes a tool to remove it...and the law specifies that the tip of a bullet or cartridge is considered a tool. I take mine to a local range and no one raises an eyebrow...and I am in No. California! enjoy the conversion, the trigger and balance improvement is amazing!
  4. Sorry to admit it, but for now I am in KKKKKKalifornia...only for now...so you can skip the explanation, or read on... In this "state" you can't hvae more than 10 rounds in your mag (there are some exceptions, but let's just stick wtih the basics) If your rifle has any "evil" features (pistol grip, flash suppressor, folding or collapsible stock, fore grip, etc) it is considered an illegal assault weapon...unless the magazine is "fixed" the law says the mag is fixed if it takes a tool to remove it in order to reload...and the law specifies that a bullet or the tip of a bullet is a tool.
  5. I cant wait to see your pics...you could also pm me with specific build info...I have a friend who is a great fabricator, and you hit right on one of my concerns...having to crank down on the retainer to get it to hold...thanks for your help!!!!!
  6. Thanks! Feels great and looks great, too! I can't wait to move out of CA so I can get rid of the maglock (and bullet button) and also get rid of the 10 round fake galil magazine...still, I'm happy with it. Anyone thinking about converting, just do it...I did it in 4 hours and I have only basic skills. Anyone who can change their oil, add RAM to their computer or do any basic mechanical work can handle it!
  7. finally got to take my Saiga to the range. Functioned perfectly. Very happy with the conversion...the trigger is such an amazing improvment and it compliments the improved balance, handling, etc....!!!!!
  8. thanks...very reassuring answer! I'm extremely happy with the conversion...piece of cake, and I'm no gunsmith! Where do I post info on conversions to try to tell people who haven't taken the plunge that they have nothing to worry about???? thanks again for the info!
  9. Did conversion this weekend. Went well...but.... Bolt seems to hang up if I pull back charging handle and ease it forward (like when I want to catch it on BHO)...is it hanging on hammer? Does hammer need to be beveled like on original? If I charge it and release it, it slams home and strips round just fine...only hangs when I ease it forward... Thanks! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD...SOMEONE POINT ME TO A LINK ON ADDING PHOTOS!!!! I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO DO IT! STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS...PLEASE!!!!!1
  10. thanks for the help with the photo...i'm flailing with getting the photos into the post...
  11. Got together today with a friend who is a great mechanic and fabricator. 4 hours later (I had to run off for an hour and do "family" stuff), my Saiga 223 was converted...just a couple of small tweaks needed. Still need to: [*]Install the FCG retaining plate I ordered today (I'm re-using the spring right now and it's held in place by a drilled out pin), [*]Get out and shoot the gun to be sure it's functioning properly, [*]Paint the bottom of the receiver, [*]Install a Galil style front handguard, [*]Paint all plastic parts with Krylon Fusion and bake it on. I won't rehash the

  13. I don't have the huevos to start drilling and grinding on a new gun yet. But, being in CA, I want to get as close to a tactical look as possible. So, I will install a bullet button and then hopefull buy, from one of you great sellers, a Tapco (or similar) stock with pistol grip. if you can help me, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks much
