Step 1 - Saiga 7.62x39 Conversion

Rifle Disassembly. All that is needed in this step is a flat head screw driver and possibly a padded hammer if you can't get the butt stock off.

Most of my information comes from the following sites:
http://www.cross-conn.com/Saiga_Conversion/
http://home.comcast.net/~navy87guy/home/saigaconversion.html
http://forum.saiga-12.com/

Please Note: This is my first at a conversion. I am sure I am getting some of the terminology incorrect and I know for a fact there are better and more efficient ways at doing some of the tasks. I would encourage people to visit the forums at http://forum.saiga-12.com before attempting the conversion based solely on these videos.

**
Everything in this conversion is 100% legal. This is NOT going to make the rifle fully automatic. After the conversion is complete it will be 922R compliant.

To use regular AK mags you need to dremel the mag release a little bit. I prefer the regular AK mags because they are a lot less expensive.

[ballensince88]

so.. can you do the conversion with the stock trigger parts? or do you have to buy a new FCG?

[rjs3484]

@ballensince88 You have to get a new FCG.

@aroccop You will need to drill the holes into the stock but not the same process since the pistol grip is apart of the stock

[MrSquid25]

@damoleman69 No its not legal to add a 30 rd mag for it. Now you can still buy the 30 rd mag just don't put it in the gun

[damoleman69]

If i have a stock saiga 7.6X39, Do I have to make it 922R compliant with 9 U.S. Parts immediately, or can I just change one part out as long as its A U.S. part. Like if I took a saiga, fresh out of the crate, and put a 30 Rd tapco magazine into it, Is it legal?

[aroccop]

hey man just bought this rifle.. wanna put the tapco t6 stock and pistol grip on it.. will i still have to remove the trigger stuff and do all that drilling?

[C172Pilotdude]

Very cool but total pain in the ass. I'm going to just buy a Saiga 308 and put the SVD stock on it, muzzle brake, scope and call it a day.

@Lvl22nerd

I feel his pain. I'm a stay at home dad right now so I have that playlist 24/7.

[Lvl22nerd]

I have an EAA ak and the receiver only takes single stack mags I took it to the gun smith and he said he could widen the receiver for $100 to make it able to fit double stack mags which is what i want. How easy is the procedure and would I be able to do it myself? Dremel tool or file by hand? Thank you for your help
