Saiga 12 Conversion Kits

[gmar]

I want to convert my Saiga 12 and was wanting to know if anyone on here has any experience with the different kits. Looking for something that is durable and makes the gun feel balanced.

I'm looking at kits from this Carolina Shooters Supply:

I did mine with this kit-#7.

Made it like a completely different shotgun. Good balance and takes it back to the original intent. Just pick the one that speaks to your sensibilities and I promise you'll be happy with it.

That's the one I was thinking about! What length of stock did you go with?

I went with the 8.5" stock.

Anyone around town do conversions or SAIGA rifles? Converting to the AK Style with pistol grip?

I don't know of anyone but the procedure looks pretty easy. There's plenty of good YouTube videos that show how to do it.

Have you already purchased your conversion kit? If so, where did you find the best deal?

I did mine with #5 (ctr stock), and put a quad rail on it. It was a little heavy but well balanced. had fun shooting skeet with it. CSS had the best prices and they had the best selection when I did mine. and if you use CSS in the coupon code box you will get a 5% discount. Ive bought from them several times and have always been pleased.

I have not bought anything. I happen to have a nice SAIGA in 7.62x39 though and was considering having it done. If it is that easy I may just look into doing it myself. Thanks.

Tromix is suppose to be the best conversion company out there but they're not accepting orders until 2015 and they charge $395 for the labor. From what I've seen and read, if you can operate a hand drill and a dremel, you can do the conversion. I'm not sure when I plan to do mine but you're welcome to come over and help and learn if you want.

I watched the youtube conversion videos a couple times and then started. I had to refer back a couple times to make sure I was doing it right, but from start to finish it took about 2 hours, and was rather easy.
