How hard is it to convert a saiga?

I have done 6 or 7. Really not that hard. Do your research. Take your time. Get the right parts. Go slowly, step by step.

Do you plan on doing a full conversion, or do you just want it to except AK mags?
Maybe just do a trigger group (tapco G2), pistol grip and butt stock on your first, Use US parts for these and you will be 922r compliant.
308 easy. 7.62x39 more involved but doable with the right tools. Plenty of videos to walk you through it.
Guys, this is for the saiga 12 gauge. It would be the stock, trigger group conversion.
Never done a shotgun myself. It should be sweet when you finish.
That's a beautiful job. I had a Saiga unconverted, and wanted to learn by doing it. Bought a set of beautiful Russian wood for it. Then decided against doing it, traded the Saiga, and now have the wood to sell. Halfway have thought I might try again later with another Saiga if one comes along for the right price. I pd $175 for the wood from an online store.

It is fun to do and gives one a feeling of accomplishment when finished.Also a great way to become familiar with how an AK works.
Took me a couple hours at most. That long cause it was my first one and I didn't want to screw it up. Having quality drill bits is the key. The rivets that you need to drill out are no joke.
Here's mine
If you need a hand, let me know.
Check Carolina Shooters Supply for parts and How To vids.
Just re-read your post. Don't know how different the 12 ga conversion is from the 7.62, but there are plenty of vids. Take your time and you should have no problem. Also, check the Saiga 12 forum.
