Best conversion kit for hi-cap mags.

[slickest 0]

Well I have been looking into getting a Saiga .223. Im glad i started to read alot of gun forums because I had no idea they didnt accept Hi-cap mags at first.

 

I guess my question is what exactly do I need to purchase in order to make this gun accept hi-cap mags? Also what am I looking at as far as prices go? If im going to do this im looking to buy the best stuff needed in order to make it work. I dont want to do a halfa$$ job.

 

Also should I be able to do the work myself or would i be better off bringing to a gunsmith? thanks for helping the newbie guys. Its appreciated.

After you get your rifle, check to see what kind of trunnion it has, flat or round. Then get with dinzag for a bullet guide for the rifle. Then, get a few Orlite Galil magazines from CDNN. They're about $10 each. You'll have to modify those mags a little so they'll work in the Saiga. I did all the work myself & I'm not too talented, so you shouldn't have any trouble. BTW, there are posts on the forum about the mag modifications.

 

Good luck.

Click the link in my signature line, theres a .pdf file for .223 magazine options to use with the guides I offer.

Download that & read up. Orlites are one of the easiest options.
