d3ceased 0 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I do not trust myself at all to convert a saiga 12, so im interested in knowing what the cost of a full conversion would be from a gunsmith or something. Trigger group moved forward, barrel cut down to 18 inches with a permanent muzzlebrake, pistol grip, new retractable stock, maybe a new quality trigger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Run and Gun 25 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Double the price it would take for you to do it yourself. Start sending some Pm's to some vendors her on the forum to find a price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heavy D 1 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Parts to do it myself were about $300 give or take depending on the grip, stock and muzzle brake that you choose. Figure $200 more at least for labor to have someone do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lZl Jody lZl 1 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Labor for my conversion in Charlotte, NC was $140. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
misterT 174 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 My "conversion kit kilo" from TAC 47 was only $128,converted it myself in a couple of hours, But if you really DONT want to do it yourself $140 for labor is not bad comparitively. BUT the backlog at most of these shops is soooo long you may be looking at christmas time before you get it back, I read that Tromix is booked out nearly TWO YEARS! It really is NOT that difficult, at least watch the conversion video on Carolina shooters supply. http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-template/Videos-and-Links/Page Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Do the dam conversion yourself. If you can tackle simple problem solving and know how to use YouTube it's gravy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dolomite_supafly 56 Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 It is very easy to do yourself with pretty basic tools. A drill, pliers, hammer and punch are pretty much all you would need. The assembly is pretty simple, if it doesn't fit then it doesn't belong there. Some of the assembly can be a little frustrating but it is not hard at all. The first one I did in a little over an hour and a half. The most recent one I did in probably 30-40 minutes, not including the paint drying. It takes me less than 10 minutes to go from a basic gun to ready to assemble then another 20-30 minutes to assemble. Dolomite Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SigSauer228 5 Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 The conversion may seem hard but it's not at all. I'll be finishing up my 3rd conversion this weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NSA_CJ 2 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 So if there's anyone interested, Our conversion run about $250.00 plus parts for a standard conversion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poolingmyignorance 2,191 Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 You should consider what refinishing is included in your conversion. There is no point in paying somebody for a conversion just to have marked up parts and slap some crappy rattle can paint on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
