Personal experiences with Saiga sporting rifle conversion

[Correia]

There are US made crap mags out there, but mine aren't one of them.

A contractor killed some bad guys in Iraq the other day with a Saiga .308 using some of our 20 round mags. Groovy.

nalioth, that's a beautiful rifle... I like that grip, especially. Can you tell me about it? (Model, which conversion parts, etc.)? I may have to do that some day...

It's a .223 Saiga 16" barrel.

Just your basic conversion.

Tapco SAW grip
K-Var US made Nato length buttstock
Tapco G2 FCG
Dinzag's bullet guide

Magwell cut for Bulgarian mags (only the bullet guide is necessary to run poly Galil mags).

I'm doing a 5.56 Saiga for myself right now. It is going to have a 14.5" barrel with permenantly attached AAC flash hider for my M4-1000 suppresor, custom aluminum handguard, and the stock from a PKM machine gun.

Man, I love these things.
