nerdfrog1522 4 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I recently purchased a Saiga .410 from a private owner and was interested in doing some conversion to it and found out about the 922r compliance issues. I am a hunter and thats what I intend to use this shotgun for. I have a Gen 1 .410 stamped '94 so it has the nonadjustable gas plug and only fires the 3" shells. I only plan on using the 4 rd factory magazines as I have 3 of them but I do appreciate the form factor and ergonomics of an adjustable stock and pistol grip. Now from what I have read, the minute I throw a pistol grip on the gun it is no longer considered a sporting rifle/shotgun and fallls under the 922r regulations. Because this is a Gen 1 Saiga .410 I am really limited to what I can add/replace to make it compliant with the rules. I have found many forearms for the Gen 2 Saiga; no such luck finding anything for this one. Any tips, leads, or help in my (mis)understanding would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Kurokaze 10 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 You can replace the trigger group for two points unless you do a trigger conversion... then you can score three. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akastormi 617 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I have a couple 410's, one being a '94 dated also. Other than the gas system, a few cosmetic differences and the '94 doesn't have a bolt hold open. Mechanically they are the same gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nerdfrog1522 4 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 @Kurokaze. That's kind of what I thought. Looks like that will be my next step. @akastormi. You are definitely correct in this. It just seems the gen 2 customization stuff is a lot easier to find. I am just being lazy and didn't want to get too mechanical in the conversion. I'll take alook at replacing the trigger group and see how comfortable I am with that. Thanks for the info I appreciate it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nerdfrog1522 4 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I was able to find some Surefire 5 rd Magazines from Mississippi auto arms. This should put me at even for 922r and still keep me legal to hunt. I am going to put a US made choke on it at some point and I am still looking for a forearm that will work with the Gen 1. If anyone has any info on that I would be greatful. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
