cord-mac138 0 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 ok i have a question, i am thinking about getting a saiga 7.62x39 and converting it, i know how to convert it to a pistol grip; but i am not clear on exactly what to do with the rifle to accept standard ak magazines....can i get away with ONLY filing the mag catch lever? or do i also have to put in a bullet guide? basically what are all the necessary steps i have to do to make it work right? thank you.

aaronjudd 0 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) I just filed my mag catch and installed a bullet guide and it feeds like a champ.Also to my understanding the factor magazine will still function.
