I'm not at all concerned about compatibility with other AK mags, as I'm not planning on joining up with any type of militia
Also, I wanted to maintain the ability to use the factory 10 round mag for shooting prone or off the bench.
So...
I made a bullet guide from 3/4" black iron pipe, which wasn't to difficult at all. My only tip is that you install it with a #8 screw.... unless you enjoy removing broken #6 taps
Ensure the BG isn't to long, or you'll have to shave a bit off of the stock Saga poly mag.
Filing down the lock tabs on mil. sup. mags is easy cheesy. Use your Stock mag. as a guide, go slow and test fit frequently. Once you have a good one, you can go faster on the rest of them. Mine lock in nice and tight.
You will then have the bonus of a legitimate excuse for not lending out your mags, as they won't work in standard AKs.
Go with the feed ramp. Look for the Dinzag Arms sight, he has bullet guide kits complete with drill and tap. I've been using his stuff for years without ever having a problem. Excellent quality and fit.
I got SureFire 20-round mags to fit my unmodified Saiga .223, and they work great, no bullet guide needed. Got those from Gilberts, and they make larger capacities. I've heard a lot of bad stuff about Promags, but have no direct experience.
I filed my mag latch on my Saiga to accept standard AK mags. That way I'm not limited to the few mags I have, can use any AK mags, and my Saiga mags still work too.
