lionofjuda 0 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I have choped and filed barrells before (legally) on a 12 gauge and a 40 cal. I was wonder if any one has done this before on a saiga. I want to convert it into a pistol. My concern is that the barrel will be dammaged in the process due to the bimetal barell (Chrome lined). Also will shorting the barrel to the point of the gas chamber interfer with the Weapons operations. Any info will help I am looking forward to a bad as conversion. P.S. this is my first Post on this site, and I have to say I absolutly love these weapons. I was debating between a modifed Wasr-10 and mini 14 when i caught wind of these, I fell in love and am so impressed way to go ruskys. Link to post Share on other sites

lionofjuda 0 Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 It is illegal to convert a rifle into a pistol. There is no legal way to do it. At all. Ever. What I mean is the AK style Pistol. And for all intensive purposes all i want to do is shorten the barrel. But thank you for the very odvious statement of law and not helping me at all. So any way Let me simplify it If I cut the barrel of the Saiga 7.62 will it damage it to the point that it will not work. Any answeres that provide info on what I asked would be appreciated. And all though It might have sounded and been a littel sarcast, I do apprecaite you freindly reminder concerning conversion of a rifle into a pistol. A shot gun with only a pistol grip is not a pistol. It is a shot gun with a pistol grip. An AK 47 with a pistol grip and a shortend barrel is not a pistol. Link to post Share on other sites
1liter 20 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 You can only go to the legal limit of 16 inches on a rifle per federal law, otherwise it's deemed a SBR. You must also have a butt stock; either hinged, underfolder, or fixed depending on local laws too. To answer you question, yes you can cut the barrel the same as any other barrel. I have just recently cut my S308 from 22, to 16 and 1/4. Used simple tools; hacksaw, file, crowning tool, and a threading tat and die. The chrome lining is a b!tch to cut.
