Ronin38 2,117 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Well, Phase 1 is complete! My Saiga 12 is now 922r compliant, looks better and feels better to use! Thanks to Cadiz for the gun, and thanks to CSS for Conversion Kit#4 in Dark Earth, plus the Magpul Enhanced recoil pad. I took me several hours to do this, since it was my first conversion. I used a whetstone to polish up some of the contact points on the hammer, bolt carrier and bolt. I also took a couple of breaks to watch the CSS videos again. Had a few minor difficulties, but at last I was triumphant! Oh yeah... there's more to come. Just need some more fundage. Edited February 4, 2012 by Ronin38 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted February 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 A couple extra notes... I used a whetstone to smooth up the flat surfaces because my dang Dremel tool is ... "in a box" ... somewhere. I like the adjustable stock a LOT! This is the first firearm I've owned with one, and I already love it! I have a 35 1/2" arm reach, so it's almost fully extended. Yeah, I'm officially a "knuckle-dragger"... My arm reach is 3" longer than my inseam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted February 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Finally got to try it out after the conversion today! It works great, and no parts came off! The new stock and pistol grip are terrific! The gun really fits ME now. I must have a "good" one- it ate 3 different kinds of cheap Wally World shells on #2 with NO issues, even with the 10 rnd. mag. Shot the cheap 00 Buck on #1 and it works perfectly, too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesM 3 Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Looks good. Which receiver block did you use for the stock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 The CSS kit that I used comes with the plastic tube. The block is molded-in as part of the tube, it's not a separate piece. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
