PM2790 0 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Go to AR15.com, get on the AK-47 board and then the Russian forum. There is a sticky at the top that does a good job of taking you through the Wieger/Saiga conversion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is a sticky at the top that does a good job of taking you through the Wieger/Saiga conversion. Good advice. Your gonna need a feedramp with most mag conversions. The Norinco 223 mags are the only I know of that might work without the feedramp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As I've indicated, the E.G bakelites will need the follower raised... Either by dremeling a higher stop (just short of 1/4") or have the follower replaced with one of the Robinson Arms replacement followers that do the same thing. It is well known that you will need to tweak these 5.45x39mm mags to feed .223 reliably. They can be modified to work well. Lollygagger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
