Midway has some and so did my local gun store in ATL. It is called Adventure Outdoors If you need to I bet they would ship it to. You or I can run by and ship it out. PM if needed. Fyi the ones I saw were PMags, 10 rounders

Door C. Zero. Breaking in is mostly myth. The spring will break in as much as it is going to in the first 50-100 cycles, whether by hand or any kind of shell. Any friction spots on the rails, etc. Can be smoothed much better with 10 minutes of sand paper work than a thousand rounds of ammo. The main friction you are going to encounter will be the hammer that comes with your conversion kit. Profile it according to the "trigger job" link in my sig line before installing. Also do the bends on the hammer spring to pin the BHO to the side and keep the spring legs from slipping inward. Test

CHRIS, IF YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO SHOOT OFF THE OTHER SHOULDER, WITH THE AR (LESS RECOIL), USE THIS "DOWN" TIME TO READ-READ-READ AND MAKE PLANS. FOR SOME HIGHER REASON, YOU'VE BEEN PROVIDED THIS TIME TO READ-LEARN-PREPARE; USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE. DON'T MEAN TO BE "PREACHY"..... JESS1344 Jess you are exactly correct. In the grand scheme of it all it is just a short bump in the road. CH.

HB thanks for the welcome. Had a good visit with the dr today, physical therapy starts next week so I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Funny thing is I have bought so many things for my new Saiga and my Daniel Defense AR since I have been down and out. Bad thing is I can't even do anything my new toys. Bad deal....

Everyone, thank you for all the comments, I truely appreciate the welcome and preliminaries nary advice. For what it is worth I have been wanting this gun for awhile and just assumed it needed the mods to do low brass / bird shot. Plus I love to Upfit guns and tinker so this should be a fun project. Thanks again. Chris

So I just bought a Saiga 12 this week and order all the compliments on Carolina Shooter's Supply. My question is, i haven't shot it yet(I had shoulder surgery two weeks ago) and I am wondering if I need to break it in as a stock version prior to doing the following; Trigger assembly Hammer springs New cap, plug and springs Pistol grip stock Muzzle break Etc Any options on guys who were in my shoes would be appreciated. Also, if I need to break it in, how many shots? 100, 200, 500?? Thanks in advance, Chris
