I finally did the latch portion of my folding stock conversion. The side hole and the pivot hole took me about 3 hours to do. I had to remove about 1 mm of the rear of the latch because it was interfering with the front of the magwell guide, which I also trimmed. The buttstock button is sticky for some reason, and I put in a screw to limit the rearward travel which prevented the latch from working right. All is good now... I recommend this if you are good with your hands, have an excellent drill press and can take your time. Removing and replacing the magwell and mag release is interesting, sh

I bought mine from Russia. It took a couple of weeks, but I had the time... buy a couple for the 2 shotguns you will end up with. ; )

Legion USA is going to have some soon. I got a couple 8 round mags from Rusmilitary in England but they are expensive.

The front ledge is not present on a magwell mag and the follower is different.

I am liking the factory magwell guns, and I'm trying to dupe that look. Here's my 433-030. I also have the SVDS stock, it is nearly twice as heavy as the poly side folder, but a must if you use a red dot because that cheek rest really raises your eye while giving a lot of cheek weld. My folder has not had the front latch installed yet: don't have the parts yet. The goal:

I agree with you, it's stupid... The gun doesn't know if a part is made in Izhevsk or Idaho... Most LEO wouldn't either...

boomsticksforever dot com They don't fit perfectly, too large, need fitting. Sorry, didn't see your Q about the linkage holes. I riveted them and ground the rivets flush. you can see a ring on some of them, but that's OK. It's a lot better than holes. If I had access to welding equipment I'd weld them, because the rivets inside look like poop. Thankfully nobody will see them but me. The 2 extra holes on the bottom I re-squashed the old rivets to make sure they were tight and then ground them flush. The rear one needed grinding inside, too, to clear the rear trunnion. I think one pop with

Converted my Saiga 12 433. I used my drill, a Dremel, a 4" thin cutting wheel on my 4.5" grinder, and riveting tools. No welding. Tapco internals, US floorplate, MDArms Flash hider. The front latch cut and hole have not yet been done, I am waiting on parts. I figured out that ties are a good way to capture the rear latch spring. I used some Alumablack on the bare metal, paint to come. Here it is after a bit of Duplicolor 500 degree engine paint, semigloss. Hard to see where the touchup ends and original paint begins...

I will keep them both, and use whatever I feel like using on a given day...

I might get one, but got to put the cart before the horse: it needs more development.

I've seen versions at Atlantic, and I found one on GB, as well as cheaper than dirt, in the $1100 to $1150 range. I spend a bit more getting mine from LegionUSA. As far as buying both stocks, it was a matter of indecision. I can try one or the other. Then I hope to have the discipline to avoid buying another gun to pair up with the orphaned stock.

This a Legion IZ-443? Are they imported to the US like that? And are those Izhmash stocks??? It's a 433. I ordered it from LegionUSA, direct. I coulda saved a bit ordering it from someplace else, but I didn't do my shopping. It comes as you see it, Fudd stocked. It gets converted by them if you want, but I like to have it done close to factory, and their conversion is not like I want it. Yes, those are Izhmash stocks. The poly one I got from Kvar, the other one from an AR15 member who listed a couple. They are hard to find and way expensive.

My gun is itching to get converted. Which stock should I use?
-
Ramlake & 20: Thanks for the info on the handguard. Got it off. Is yours like this with a captive spring? looks like it's there for the front latch mechanism.
-
Beautiful! My 030 just came in today!! Still looking for a front latch, though, before embarking on the conversion. How do you get the lower fore grip off?

You're right! Google translate does a better job. http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=2&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.exclusivegun.ru%2Fru%2Fproduct%2FGladkostvolnoe_oruzh%2FSajga-12K%2F

I ordered a 433 last month. Legion USA called me today, they are sending my 433 030 to my FFL. Should have it soon!
-
You cannot show light to a blind man. I only have 1 Saiga-12... one more on the way, a 433-030. Then that's it, really! I swear!
-
In addition to all the other things mentioned, do not forget to apply a bit of lube to the engagement area of the hammer where it gets held by the disconnector.
-
I have never seen a full auto transferable Saiga-12 for sale... all transferables were made before May 19, 1986. Seems like Saiga-12s were made after that.
-
That looks great... let us know if you get some in!

MD-20 fit in my gun without any filing, shoots great with the right ammo (the bulk won't work but it doesn't work with any mag I have either).

Those mags sure got purdee lips... so they must be gooooood mags! So on the basis of this review I just wasted more than $100 on the 4 10-round AGP mags I bought which fit perfectly and function flawlessly in my gun without modification. I must be purdee stupid for not seeing that... Just to be fair, I got a couple of SGM 8 rounders, and although they aren't as purdee to my eyes they seem to work. They are a bit tighter in the magwell... I don't have any Promags, yet, because the Promags I got for my Para-Ordnance .45 were so out of spec, they got stuck in the gun, and wouldn't catch the ma
