JonWienke 131 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Carolina Shooters Supply has a variety of conversion kits. If your gun will cycle with low brass wal-mart target ammo right now, conversion is pretty simple. The only hard part is drilling out the rivets securing the old trigger guard and the cover plate where the new trigger will go. The rivets are pretty tough steel and a cheap drill bit will walk off the rivet and scar up the receiver. You'll want a cobalt bit (CSS sells one) or else something carbide. Once you get the rivets out, the hardest part is getting the bolt holdopen , the holdopen spring, hammer, and hammer spring lined up so you can get the hammer axis pin installed. It's a 4-handed job. If it won't cycle low brass, get that sorted before doing the conversion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
montec 164 Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Check out my thread. I listed out a decent list that I got from CSS. I agree that you need to make sure it cycles well before. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/90884-my-s12/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
