Complete!

Still waiting on the stock. Is it legal to shoot it without one? Guess I could put the factory one on while I'm waiting

Turns out it wasn't the screw hitting the bolt but the guide itself, guess I was off center as well. Couple minutes with the dremel and all is well!

And that's what happened! Gonna see if I can grind down the screw tonight unless you have another suggestion?

Cool, I'll give it a try.

Well I screwed it up, either the bit slipped or I did but the hole got drilled too close to the chamber. I can still see about half the hole thru the bullet guide, what should I do next?

What up fellas, been a while but I'm back for round 2! Ordered this last week and picked her up last night, titled it Project Sturgis cause the funding came from not going this year. I'll be using the KISS method on this conversion, heck I'm hoping the bit and tap for the bg is still on the bench!

Mom! People are arguing on the internet again! Can I use a swear word?

I remember the first time I got cranky on an internet forum

Hope you ain't using them in a factory Saiga!

Not sure about the mount, I could see five feet off at five hundred yards. I'll be giving it another shot before it goes back

If anyone is interested Sightmark was super cool about the warranty, emailed me back within a day, and a tech guy actually answered the phone and listened to everything. He even asked questions and told me he converted a 5.45

Yep, just walked the target back further. Glass is nothing spectacular, Sightmark CDX 3-9, but it was still $150. I have a Sightmark on my target 10/22 and love it. Unfortunately I didn't realize I only had 30 days to register the warranty

In that figuration it is heavy, but that's just sighting in the glass should I ever want to use it hunting. I usually have it stripped down and only use 20 rounders so it's actually pretty light most the time
