Thank you for the response. I will stop worrying..

I remember long ago,a topic addressing this prob but couldnt find it. I tiook my Saigas ,7.62x39 and my 12 gauge Saiga out this afternoon and had a good time. I noticed the brass casing for my 7.62 had dented the shell casings,as I was picking up the brass. Seemed they all had this dent. Gun fired perfect even with this,problem? Can Any one describe whats goingon,, for me?? Thx.. Roger

"SORRY" I see I double posted.... I was posting my pics in the pic thread, but it didnt show up? Soo posted again thinking it hadnt worked,any way, they scattered ,,

Good, yes it does, I couldn't tell about the stock and grip. Im not one to give you crap, just trying to help in case you didn't know about the rediculous law that I find myself explaining a lot to people I run into. If you click on the 2nd pic ,it will expand and let you see where my trigger guard now resides. Thx..

This is just out of the box. This is before conversion pic,,and did arrive in a hard Saiga - American case.

Will post a few pics of my Saiga. Just finished the basic conversion yesterday. Purchased a furniture kit from ATI,,but the fore arm ,upper/lower dont seem to fit. Folding stock took a lot of filing,but was expected.

What brand Mag are you using? Thanks.

I purchased a 10 rd Tapco Mag, that was said to fit my Saiga 7.62X39.. It wont lock in due to a little excess locking lip that doesnt allow the mag to set all the way in and lock. If I files the Mag locking tab at the bottom to allow it go set all the way in.Will it cause the tab to eventually break off?? Thanks.

Yes,I sure look forward to getting my conversion kit. Will be taking both Saigas out for a work out when the conversion is completed. Thx

Prob get the same kit from CSS as I used in converting my S 12.. I like the T6 stock, Already have some 30 rd mags. I havent dressed up my S 12 yet either. Was waiting untill I could buy the rifle. I like the stubby fore arm . I want rails on both Saiga,s. I have a genuine folder given to me. I could always put on the rifle. Any way this is the fun part,esp after I get the conversion finished. Wish I could afford the reqd permits and smith work to shorten the S 12 up. Ive been paying on a Polish 60 milled from Century,, So have my budget really pinched right now.

Yeah,wish I had gotten one for my S 12. But happened to have an extra case that fits it. Im guessing if you can buy the case,it,s shipping cost would be more?? The price for the Saiga I thought was good ,compared to the gunbroker.. So getting the hard case was cert an extra bonus.

where did you buy it ? Centerfire systems.. On the internet,,$349.00 plus shipping,it comes out of Kentucky ( I will take a pic of the out sideview of the case)

Pretty excited ,that in came in its own hard case,with Russia/American embossed on the case.

Thanks for your post. I learned some thing:) I just finished my Saiga 12 and I fought for a long time to get the hold open spring installed. You use a string, thank you for the tip. I have purchased a Saiga 7.62 X 39,,and awaiting delivery, The conversion and parts and procedure appear to look the same as they were for the Saiga 12, Thanks again..

I haven't seen a Saiga without dimples since 2000, so don't worry about that. The conversion process is exactly the same, because all you are doing is taking off the excess plate at the bottom that covers the true holes. 350 is a pretty good price Ahh ,ok,,Thats good to know,,I have been looking for conversion instructions/info and you have answered those concerns for me,Thanks ,once again. I appreciate your response,,

My Saiga 7.62 X 39 is on its way. Just finished the conversion on my Saiga 12..Using CSS video,s and parts... Are there simular instructions for converting the Rifle?? Or is it basicly the same conversion?? Thanks guys..

Well I ordered my Saiga AK 7.62 X 39 yesterday.. I had to paid $350.00.. Had no say in ordering one with dimples. Is the conversion procedure the same as the Saiga 12? Thanks for any input..

Heres a pic of my S 12 , Oh I look forward in building my Saiga AK 7.62..Gonna make it match my 12..

OH I have purchased a Polish 60 any way.. I also just finished converting my Saiga 12..
