Themajickman 8 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 Here are some pictures of my 'in progress' conversion. Once I get everything together I'll definitely get a picture of it when it's finished. ATI adjustable/folding stock Hogue pistol grip alumalite barrel shroud Tromix modified G2 FCG Tromix Bolt on Charging Handle CSS trigger guard UAG red dot/laser sight (hopefully it won't fall apart on the first shot) factory 10 round magazine I'm shipping everything off to have a profile/polish job done.

SteveCornell 13 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Here are some pictures of my .410 Still waiting on the internals from Pauly for this gun and 2 S12s, I'll get better pics posted once it's completely back together. The shroud is homemade from a Ruger 10\22 Green Mountain barrel shroud, a bronze bushing, and the factory thread protector. Jay at Fuglystick did the hand guard for me and was a pleasure to work with in getting it to match my shroud. Cerakoted the guns this weekend in Tactical Black and Titanium Grey. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C-Par 2 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Man I have mine in the classifieds. Seeing these makes me think about keeping it. I really want a S12 but I do like the 410. SteveCornell those are nice. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Themajickman 8 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Complete except for the barrel shroud which should arrive the next few days Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liberty -r- death 1,445 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 How do you like the ATI stock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Themajickman 8 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 The ATI stock is nice except it's a bit longer than I expected it would be. Thinking about getting a Tapco folder which is probably shorter. Since my wife is the one shooting, it needs to be as short as possible. How do you like the ATI stock?

Themajickman 8 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 The shroud arrived and here's some pictures of the finished conversion. The next step might be to drill some holes in the hand guard and barrel shroud 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

drifter_ 3 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Finished up my Saiga conversion this weekend. Pretty happy with the results and had a lot of fun doing it. Learned a lot about the weapon and would definitely take on the project again sometime (Maybe a rifle?). There were some challenges along the way because things aren't always crystal clear with instruction and what not - even with the great videos out there. Still, it was nothing a little brain power couldn't figure out and I think next time, I could knock it out in 2-3 hours of uniterrupted work. Ready to start Stripped - so far, so good. True to the AK reputation, take down is very simple. Old FCG out - still no problems, except for releasing the hammer on my thumbnail trigger guard off and taped for painting - Getting the trigger guard off was a hassle. I drilled out from inside the receiver and if I had to do it again, I'd just grind from outside the trigger guard plate. It's not like you're going to re-use the plate so what does it matter and it's way easier. The receiver is not painted under the old plate so that was the next order of business. painted - easy enough new trigger - Attaching the bolt hold open spring was another bit of a pain. Once I got the knack of it, I can do it pretty easily. fcg installed - again, nothing big here. Spent some time stressing about the fcg retaining plate, but didn't need to. The safety also took a little muscle to get it past the new trigger sear but I got it. pistol grip installed and receiver tang removed - irreversible stuff taking the tang off, but the folding device demands it. The Dremel made short work of it. back of receiver ground square - Again, using the dremel, just ground it down until it was square. Internal Receiver block installed - Fit right in. All good. Ace push button folder - Stuff was moving along smoothly at this point. Ace Skeleton Stock - screw here, screw there. Still easy stuff. Stock Folded replacing gas plug and puck - Replaced the factory plug and puck with a V-plug and CSS puck for better recycling performance and gas control. Took a break once I took the old stuff out to give the whole gun a good clean and lube. Tri rail - SGM Tactical Forearm tri-rail. Poly but I didn't want to shell out the bucks for aluminum. Solid enhough - it will do the job. It was a tight fit though. Took some smacks with the mallet to get it on. done - voila With magazine and light/laser - with full tacticool accoutrements Folded 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keoniboy70 3 Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 My Kushnapup almost finished. Needs an optics rail and barrel bobbed to 18.5 Wow, very interesting conversion. Went to their site but didn't see the availability for a 410 kit. Was this a modified 12 kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Themajickman 8 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Here's a short video of our converted Saiga 410. I posted some pictures earlier. It ended up costing a bit more than I expected but considering how well it shoots it was really worth the effort to do the conversion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigdaddyhatty 65 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 This isn't a conversion, but I did put some work into it. I had a tapco T6 stock on it but decided I wanted something I could take to the skeet range (stupid no pistol grip rule) I looked at the Iornwood designs sport stock sets but they are a little more than I wanted to put into the gun. A friend on another forum gave me the wood furniture off his s308. He had paited the forend black so I decided to sand it down to bare wood and try to do a russian red finish on it. I am definatly a novice wood worker, but I'm happy with the way it came out. The wood buttstock feels way better than the plastic one, it did add a little weight, but I think it will swing a little better now. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

djsample 0 Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Brand new to the forum and I love my .410 . Thinking about nickel Teflon coating the dust cover and tri-rail just for looks. Is there any internal parts that might benefit from nickel/teflon coating? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
