Well Let's hope this works. :)

Saiag 12

Gasfixer gas plug

modified tapco G-2 fcg

Tapco AK T6 collapsable stock

Saiga rifle DIY trigger guard

 

Notes for those who have not done a MOD:

1) Make sure you actually have the parts you ordered. I didn't and was forced to modify parts while making my mod ordered a Tromix FCG got a double hook G2 FCG.

2) Get a vice.

3) Get out the old tap and dye set inevitably you will need it.

4) The retention spring, shepherds crock is fun to install, make sure to round the tip on the short side and hold down the tip on the long side.

5) Plan on it taking longer than what you might guess because stuff goes wrong.

6) Even parts "for the saiga 12" will need some modification.

Thanks to this site I was able to get this baby off the ground. I Had cycling issues at first but the Gazfixer & Twister solved that, now she spits lead like no tomorrow.022.gif Thanks gang and a big shout out to Carolina SS Greg is a great resource, has the goods in stock and ships fast.

 

What I did:

 

Gasfixer

Twisterpuc

Main Spring

#1 Recoil Spring

G2 FCG

Gas Tube Cover

Strikeforce Pistol Grip

SMG Handguard

CAA Tact Flashlight/Laser Combo

Ace Stock

Polished Bolt for smother action by me

Removed front and rear sites for smother handling (It's a Shotgun guysrolleyes.gif )

Finished up with Brownells Alumahyde (Great Stuff)

 

10 Round Promag Mags Complements of my friend Stanley Smith VP at Promag

 

This project and my love for Saigas is growing, my X39 arrived and the count down starts today & with all parts on the way! It will have CAA 6 Poss Stock-Houge Pistol Grip-Ultimak Scout Mount-Vortec Strikefire Optic-Kvar Lower Handguard-Dinzag Bolt on Retainer-Bullet Guide-Piston-G2 FCG and best of all USC 922r Compliant027.gif The most important issue that anyone should understand and consider before any conversion. Thanks in advance for the upcoming conversion.

Here's mine, it's a lot like many others Saiga 12s that I have seen. Sorry for the bad cell phone camera quality. Only thing that I don't have yet that I plan on adding will be Kreb's sights.

First conversion, basic but only took me about 6-1/2 hours. Here's what I did:

 

Tapco G2 modified and polished by me

SAW grip (cut hole for for the grip nut)

K-Var NATO stock

Reused trigger guard (riveted the rear, mig welded the front, built up to look like a rivet)

Left safety stop in place

Reused/modified axis pin retainer

Touched up paint on bottom of the receiver

Removed the gas block and modified/opened it to uncover the forward gas ports (3 port gun)

Slightly enlarged gas ports

 

This is replacing my 870 this deer season. The conversion made carrying and shooting much more comfortable than the "sporting" config.

Big thanks to all who posted how-to's and how-not-to's, made things simple and thanks to CSS for the parts.
