wayfaerer320 16 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Had my doubts initially, but found the whole process to be quite fun and not as difficult as it looks. Thanks for your help guys - I asked a lot of questions here before deciding to convert it. This is my first conversion - got all the parts from CSS (excellent service by the way). If I can do it, anyone can! Started with this: After stripping the receiver, added some engine paint (as suggested by fellow forum members (thanks for the advice guys!): Ended with this: Just have to add a couple plugs to fill in the hole left from the old rivets above the pistol grip on both sides of the receiver - other than that, she's finished.

elvis christ 451 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Looks good, dude. I'm sure you're not finished, you'll find more stuff you want to do to it, in time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wayfaerer320 16 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 That looks great! Well worth the work! Thank you! Looks good, dude. I'm sure you're not finished, you'll find more stuff you want to do to it, in time. Thanks - I already have my eye on a new handguard. I'd also like to get a muzzle brake at some point and possibly that bolt on front sight that CSS sells - I think that looks sharp. In the meantime, I'll take it to the range as soon as I can and make sure everything still works as flawlessly as it did prior to the conversion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wayfaerer320 16 Posted August 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Anyone have this? http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-921/CSS-TACTICAL-SAIGA-12/Detail Just wondering if this is easy to install and if it holds zero - seems like it wouldn't hold up too well to 12g recoil, but I really know nothing about it.

Alpha Kilo 42 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 My friend has the Krebs version of those sights, I can't imagine one being different than the other rather than appearance preference. Durability is fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
