Sorry for newbe questions, but new to saigas. Going to make plung and by a saiga 12. Only one I can find is the factory BHO. Will this effect or make more difficult to convert.

thanks

All of them come from the factory with a BHO now. Unless you're talking about LRBHO (last round bolt hold open). Either way, it will be the same process to convert with or without BHO or LRBHO.

 

Edited to add: If you plan on putting the BHO back in after converson, you have to grind one side of your hammer down slightly, but other than that, its the same. A lot of people (including myself) just leave the BHO off after conversion.

Another option worth mentioning is the Tromix fire control group since it already has the axle on the ejection side of the hammer milled off to accommodate for the BHO plate.

sorry, that is what I was meaning. LRBHO.

thanks

LRBHO will not affect conversion. Just don't use the Tromix trigger guard, as it may not have enough clearance with the LRBHO.

Does anyone have the new KVar with the LRBHO? If so, how is it working for you?

Does it stay open after you remove the mag?

Well broke down and just bought plain saiga 12. Looked all over then called k-var to talk with them about the LRBHO. They told me they had a few regular saiga 12's left. I told them I would take one of these. Shipped same day. Now just have to start working on the conversion.

thanks
