I tried to keep the gun Russian mostly in looks. Except for the Metal was completely sanded, polished and blued by my buddy. Many many hours of work can't thank him enough!!!!!!!!!!

 

Some of the different metal alloys blued different shades. The dust cover has a copper tone, really cool I thought.

 

Upgrades and mods include:

 

Basic Tapco conversion with grip and stock trigger assembly

Cleaned gas ports and block (gun would not run high brass reliably. It was bad)

Replaced ejector spring with lighter trigger disconnector spring

JTE performance spring

PN-1 zenitco charging handle

Reliability kit with CSS plug and spring

Polished bolt and carrier (Not a mirror finish I know)

Axis pin retaining plate

Guiderod assembly kit

Recoil buffer

US made CSS muzzle brake (Based on Russian molot brake)

Russian sling

Russian DDI-12 hand guard

Russian molot folding grip

Saiga oem Izhmash crazy priced but awsome looking 8 rounder

Russian PK-01V red dot

Great site- So much information here!  My 1st post here. I just picked up my Saiga 12 from a local gunshop last Friday. Walked in to buy a .22 rifle, and came out with this.

 

It's stock and unconverted, and from what I understand was made in 2012. Got it for $750, extra mags included. I cant see any evidence that it has ever been fired.

 

I have a conversion kit coming from CSS  for the conversion. Going to be a plain jane conversion at 1st- I might tacticool it out later.

 

Looking forward to learning and looking at a lot of great Saigas!

just make sure not to put your extra mags in it until its converted or the ATF will kill all your pets.

Spent the afternoon converting my Saiga 12 today. It took a few hours- I spent a lot of time following Youtube vids to make sure I didn't screw anything up.

 

I went with the CSS trigger guard and trigger group, MFT Engage pistol grip, Tapco standard AK buttstock and metal barrel thread ptotector. It went pretty smoothly, except for that pain in the ass BHO spring. One thing I have to pass on is that Dupli-color part # DE1634 Low Gloss Black engine paint is a PERFECT match to the original Saiga paint.. I didn't have to do any masking at all- Just hit it with wax & grease remove and sprayed away. 

 

Now..... Gonna shoot it and get the hang of it before I start jazzing it up.

 

John

Saiga 12K that I am building up for the IPSC Open division.

 

  • Vepr Magwell
  • Custom-Guns Magwell extension
  • Custom-Guns Carbon fiber handguard
  • Ram Superior extended magrelease
  • Vortex Sparc red-dot

Waiting for a GK-03 Muzzle Brake from Custom-Guns.ru, getting a zhukov stock adapter CNC'ed hopefully this week. Also there is a lot left to do on the internals. It refuses to run 24gr, 28gr works sort of ok with the FTE now and then. However it is a start :o
