They're both 7.62
Anyone know how to take down a Saiga 308 v.21 trigger group? Thanks?

I cheated.
Found a gorgeous Arsenal SGL-20 on Gunbroker that has custom fitted wooden furniture, and bought it.
Once it arrives, I'm going to install a G2 and polymer pistol grip with finger grooves.
I know, I know, it'd have been cheaper to buy a Saiga and convert it.. but what can I say? I couldn't resist.

Conall,
That is a great rifle!!! You will love it...
I just picked up a regular Saiga 7.62x39 yesterday and am really impressed so far. I am going to take it out to the desert to ring it out this weekend. I hope it shoots as good as it looks.
Congrats...

get 7.62x39 so you can install a bullet guide so it will accept surplus ak47mags. Also when you convert you much follow 992R compliance!

just get a cheap wasr-10 and forget about the rest....
or..
you can go to cmmg website and get a bargain bin AR15 for around $600
or...
order a del-ton kit for $480 and a reciever and build it yourself.

I've handled a WASR in the past, and I was not impressed.
I had the money, so why would I want to buy a low quality AK made from old, used parts when a high quality brand new AK is available?
And I have no intention of ever buying an AR.
For me, the AK is perfect, offering everything I want in a SHTF rifle.
I can't say the same about the AR.

in a true shtf situation id about bet a dime to a dollar that before you got to shoot off a hundred rounds of ammo youd probably be dead anyway. If you think your going to stay alive by running around shooting your gun your sadly mistaken. You will be hiding (at least if you have any sense) and will not want to advertise where your at by blazing away with your gun. It will be used to defend yourself from intruders and that will probably mean a few rounds. Im one of the idiots that stock piles ammo for a shtf senerio and probably have so much my truck would sag if i loaded it all in there but in all reality its more of a security blanket then anything. A man with any gun and a 100 rounds of ammo is going to last a long time if he wants to stay alive.
Picked up the rifle today, and it looks even better in person.
Looks and feels better than my previous AK, an SLR-95 seen in the below photo.
Looked like this when I bought it;
It had walnut furniture with a NATO length buttstock, which I find unpleasant.
I replaced the wood with what you see in the first picture, something I will NOT be repeating with my new AK.
The wood the previous owner installed is absolutely beautiful, and the buttstock is Warsaw Pact length, making it very comfortable for me.
The grip was plastic already, so I replaced it with another grip like the one seen in the first photo, and also installed a G2 trigger.
Haven't got to shoot it yet, but I'm sure looking forward to it.
Interestingly, the retainer pin had been installed backwards..
Took me a little while to figure out what was wrong.
Just had to push the front end of it down to remove the hammer pin.
Also had a little trouble with the disconnector spring.. you can probably guess what happened.
Other than that, it was a smooth install.
Didn't expect it to be so easy, since I've never done anything like that to a gun before.
I love how simple AKs are.
