Thank you Makc!!!!

I made a contribution last week, sent a PM to Makc with all the info and haven't heard anything. Should I be contacting somebody else? Thank you

From what I understand the retaining plates are back in at CSS. I am a lil peeved because last Tuesday in the CSS threads I asked if anybody had a rounded BG to sell. Greg at CSS told me they would be in by the 21st (today) and they would ship immediately. Well yesterday that changed to 12/29. I could have had it ordered from Dinzag a week ago. Needless to say I am disappointed. But I need to be careful what I say: apparently CSS has a god-like reputation around here and I am yet to be a contributor.

PM sent

So I guess this could be a completed conversion for Elvis' birthday (Jan. 8th). CSS said they would have the rounded BG in stock by 12-21-11. Today it changed to 12-29-11. Placed the order w/ Brian at Dinzag like I should have a week ago.

Thank you. I can get around the RP, but the bullet guide is essential. Just being anxious. your saiga did not come with a factory magazine? while it might not be a mil surp 30.. you should be able to use the factory mag? You are correct, thanks Vlad. Wasn't thinking.

Thank you. I can get around the RP, but the bullet guide is essential. Just being anxious.

This is my first conversion (second one is already planned, addiction is a wonderful thing) and Greg will get all my business from now on.

So true, and being in GA reduces the shipping time even more.

Probably not. Everything is done and ready to be put back together. Received the kit from CSS today. retaining plate is on BO (Maybe next week), and the bullet guide is out of stock till at least next weds. Was gonna head out to the farm and start putting rounds through her Christmas day but it looks like I'm SOL. Peace to all!!

LOL, gotta try that!

Do they stock them or drop ship from CSS?

....because CSS ran out just in time for Christmas.

Thank you, that is a big help!!

Thanks for the reply. It is rounded.

Hey all!! I searched but didn't find anything on this. I have watched a couple conversion videos that were done 6 months ago and when doing the BG they talk about making sure it is aligned to the left of the step (And none of those videos really go into depth on that) but Carolina Shooter's Supply video from a couple months ago says to just make sure it's centered. Was the design changed subsequent to those original videos? Please help as I am starting this in the next few days! Thanks for all your help. And I'm probably in the wrong forum, apologies!!

Thanks for the tip. I'm an "apartment Dweller" so a work bench vise was out of the question. I went and picked up a vacuum vice at Lowe's. It's unbelievable and it's padded. A true bargain. Sticks like tree sap to the kitchen counter.

Thank you BM07

Hey all. I will be taking delivery of my 7.62x39 on Tuesday and starting the conversion pronto. I will be going to look for a vise Sunday. What is the width at the area that I will be mounting the rifle on the vise? I just want to make sure that the vise I get will be wide enough. Thanks in advance!!
