My first Saiga 12 build....

[RGVBadBoy 9]

Here it is, just field stripped it for the first time:

I had some trouble with the rivets, but after some tender love and care with my dremel and drill, they eventually gave way:

The mock up, got the grip on, not time to cut the rear tang:

Rear tang removed, now time to figure out this damn Tapco G2 trigger, here is the mock up:

Trigger installed, function checks good:

Time to order my Chaos quadrail, UTG foward grip and Chaos warthog:

My RAM extended ambi mag release installed:

RAM extended mag release and Tromix charging handle DIY:

Laying it out with new hardwar, thanks Chaos and UTG:

This is it now, I mounted my EoTech 552 on it, put some red thread lock on the screw to handle the kick, now wating on my light and my barrel shortening:

 

Thanks for checking out my build, I'm a 1st timer and it was really easy aslong as you have the right tools.... There is still work to be done on my Saiga, to include my JT magwell, AR selector switch, shortening and fastening my barrel and muzzlebrake.... The work is never done:)

Nice conversion.

 

You should give kudos to Ivan (of Izhmash) for the build.
