I finally got to take decent pictures of the converted Saiga... Here ya go...

hmmm... any bullet guide?

Thank you very much. Post up your conversion I am curious to see what it looks like! My next conversion (if I can find it) will be a 16" .223 AKS-101 (I think that is what it is called) look-alike. But I am going to hold off. This thing was a pain to do, and while I am glad I did it, I need to acquire the correct tools before I do another one. I posted pictures in the picture thread (I believe it is still currently the last page). I had a bit of extra cash to burn as well as a birthday request, so I was able to get a good few tools that definitely made the job a lot easier

I started lookin at saigas about a year ago. It took me until the summer to actually get one, and I just finished converting it yesterday... and man am I happy with it. The whole conversion wasn't bad at all, in fact the majority of the time was spent trying to get the forend shaped and cut correctly. I was a little nervous about installing the bullet guide, but I was incredibly cautions and it went off without a hitch.

Awesome, and congratulations! Looks like a job well done. I actually just finished my conversion today (just waiting for Brownell's to get me a stock with all the parts!) Definitely looks good though? What do you plan on for the next conversion?

Hey everyone, I'm toward the end of my saiga conversion, and I have a bit of a question. I modified the original forend, as many have done, but it was a little rough. I sanded it down and was hoping that if I got find in the sanding that it would not leave the "cloudy gray" look. However, that's not the case, and I was wondering if there's a best way to restore the original black color, whether it is to polish and or buff it out, or if there is something I can apply that will bring back the color. Thanks a lot! -Adam (Will post pictures when complete)

Wow, I'm glad I finally found that. I've been trying to find more info recently, but got so frustrated with trying to find info I looked other places. I'm glad I tracked this thread down, and I'm glad there was a solution!
