hoevito 5 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hello all!!! Just finished my conversion sunday morning...done on the floor of my apartment with a drill and a dremel........because I'm just cool like that Here's what we started with... Here's what we ended with... My first major gun operation ever...hopefully I'll be doing a .308 or 7.62x39 soon because yes, like so many have said before...this is addictive...

solidus 8 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Just got my MSA adapter installed and I'm pretty proud of this one. Gonna follow up with either a .308 or a 5.45 if I can find one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yq397r 0 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Here are a couple updated photographs of my Saiga 223. Entirely stock with the exception of the UTG Leapers aluminum quick-detach scope mount, Bushnell Trophy 1x32mm Red/Green Dot, and Streamlight Strion weapon light (no pictured). No accessories planned for the near future other than additional magazines, ammunition, and a reliable/good three point sling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Infidel1970 0 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Thought I would submit my two brothers. Norinco 7.62, and Saiga .223. as you can see both have beeen heavily modified for function. Both are still works in progress. Working with MSA for some other "enhancements". Always go with function first. Looking good never was the deciding factor in a gunfight. RLTW. 5th RTB. 89-01 Picture 020.bmp Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GregM1 241 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 My first Saiga, hooked on them. GOnna have to get a 5.45 next. very nice martin. what type of scope did you go with? i like the red furniture also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lcpl Martin 4 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) Scope is very nice but its a bit heavy. Adjustment is amazingly simple and the build in "lens caps" are really really nice. http://www.bsaoptics...x?productID=299 Edited August 31, 2010 by Lcpl Martin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CFOofEVIL 8 Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Converted this S223, and I LOVE it! Hasn't hiccuped yet. Special Thanks to Dinzag (all parts were purchased through him) - He rocks! Oh, By the way, the Tapco Galil mags work great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
