its a Tapco intrafuse. its not that hard to install and they come with all necessary hardware, mine took alot of fussing and wiggling, and some swearing, but it fit, and i like it alot!

ive put at least 600-700 rounds through it since the conversion, about 200 since i installed the MB and red dot, around 1000rds total since i bought the rifle. i cant believe the difference in performance. i was smokin clays at 100yrds last night at the range. by the way your vid on cleaning really helped me out when i first purchased my rifle, thanks!

well i took my conversion a bit farther by cutting my barrel shroud revealing my threaded barrel. i attatched an AMD muzzle brake i blued myself and secured with loc-tite. also attatched a quick-detatch side rail mount and a truglo red dot. also picked up some matching tapco mags.

where did you find them for $30-$40? ive only seen them for $100+, except for cheaper knock-offs.

http://www.mojosights.com/ I am returning the micro click version and getting the shorter standard version without the click wheel. The shorter version worked fine on two other rifles. thanks, i think im gonna go with the original one too, i hardly ever shoot past 100yrds and if i do, i plan on getting some optics soon anyway.

mine was centered too, a little farther away from the barrel. i dont think it has to be perfectly centered, mine had a couple hangups manually cycling rounds after to test it, but worked fine after test firing 100rds, i think they just need to be broken in a little.

decided to convert instead. check out the pics.

absolutely. i feel a bond with this weapon that ive never felt with any other, lol. seriously though, im really glad i went this path.

thanks! couldnt have done it without all the help!

heres mine, pretty basic for now, but still sexy...

heres some pics:

dang, i want one. where'd ya get it?

i guess the only way they (BATFE) would know if your barrel is threaded would be if you had the shroud removed, and if you have the shroud removed you'll most likely have a US muzzle device, so i dont see how it would be an issue. besides i think most people who convert their rifles are over the legal requirements anyway, having 3 US parts in the FCG, plus the stock and handguard.

finished my first one last night. im sure it wont be the last, as i now have images of a restored s-12 running through my head....

well i finished my conversion last night, gonna install the bullet guide tonight. im really glad i went with the conversion, it turned out better than i thought. and it was alot easier than i thought it would be, the only "problem" i had was getting the sporter plate pins out after the plate was removed, not really a problem tho, after i ground them down to the receiver they punched right out. i even installed the BHO in about 15 mins! thanks to you guys for steering me in this direction, my gun looks amazing and all the info here really helped the conversion go with out a hiccup.

thanks alot! just about to place my order. that 5% will make a difference on my $200 order!!!

im going to order this conversion kit from css soon: http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-454/SAIGA-RIFLE-CONVERSION-KIT/Detail i know i also need a bullet guide kit so i can use standard AK mags right? are there instructions for installing this? are there any other parts i should get that arent included?

thanks for the recommendations guys, i really appreciate your input. to be honest, this is what i was expecting to hear. well, it looks like i'll be converting soon. thanks for the video link chevyman, that really simplifies the process. and thanks sapper1371usmc for pointing out the difference in trigger performance, i think that really seals the deal on converting. i'll start buying the parts soon, and eventually get my hands dirty. if i have any problems ill be sure to let you guys know, since you've been so helpful. i look forward to posting some pics of my new beauty soon. tha

hey, newb here. i searched the forum for a while trying to find info on this and came up with nothin. i got my saiga 7.62 a few weeks ago and had originally planned on keeping it stock, but after takin it to the range a couple times ive got the itch for modification. i dont really want to go through the hassle of doin a full conversion, so i found this tapco intrafuse pistol grip stock set that claims to attach to the rifle with no modification. i figured with this counting as 2 compliant parts (only 1 less foreign part)along with the tapco intrafuse handguard as 1 part, and a surefir
