Just wanted to throw out a thanks to Ron who sold me an unconverted Saiga for a great price . It gave me something to do while recovering from a pretty good ankle injury. I tore two ligaments, two fractures and a long recovery time. Almost 3 months out and still fighting swelling and keeping it loose. Anyhow, to the gun:
Starting off off with the rear, I pulled all of the stock trigger components out and cut the trigger guard. I rewelded the trigger guard to the mag catch assembly and filed down the mag release. Riveted trigger guard. Ordered some 922r trigger parts, furniture, and GB, FSB.
Then I went to removing the pain diveted fsb and gas block. That took a couple hours and several dremel cutoff blades. Carefully aligned the gas block and pressed on, same with the front sight base. Burnt through a few bits, then found one it licked and set the 4 pins. Spent yesterday aluminum blasting the whole gun to prep for paint.
After going back and forth with KUSA for a couple weeks, I finally got them to send a replacement clone 103 brake because the first was threaded at the wrong pitch. Got the new one today just as the paint cured.
Last thing I will probably have someone else do, is a 5.5mm folding stock conversion to complete it.
Here's a before and after:
Here it was yesterday torn down and blasted on hangers.
