What do I need to know when buying a Saiga 7.62x39?

Only problem with saigas is by the time your done with the conversion process, buying furniture and refinishing, you may have just bought a regular AK.@@@

Got the saiga for 419 with the rear converted from classic arms. sold all the furniture it came with for 35. Bought the timbersmith for 90 and the parts to convert the front for like 60 bucks

Of course this was last year

I want it all, all the time----threaded barrel, brake, spring loaded brake plunger, cleaning rod, and bayo lug.
There are varing stays of converted though.

iirc saigas have to be 922r compliant to use hi cap.

Once converted you have more than though US parts to be 922r compliant.

That's if a full conversion is done, if just throwing a bullet guide in and calling it a day,, could be bad juju. Stupid ass law.
