Just finished my second Saiga conversion, this one was a 12g. Tromix just released a DIY trigger guard, so i thought I would give it a try. Let me just say that this thing is awesome! Tear off all the old stuff and this thing screws right in. It has thread post designed into it and the hex head screws attach from the inside. No grinding, painting, fitting, nothing. Just put it on and go. It also has the safety lever stop and pistol grip nut built in. Some Saiga's don't have the grip nut hole already and this makes it very easy. Only place to get them is here. http://www.mississippiautoarms.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=25_37&products_id=233

Here's the final product with my x39.

GAWD, but that is one mean looking shotgun!!! I need one of those! It'd make my 870 obsolete!

[Smith]

I've had the parts for awhile and just got around to working on it. When money comes available I'll probably get some HK sights, Ace folder, and brake from Tromix. Here's where I hope to get it.

Very cool, one of those those saigas in 12ga would be great to have if the

[Guest killemducks]

looks like pure death on snow geese...what is the capacity??

[Smith]

10 rnds.

[Guest bkelm18]

That is awesome. Was the procedure much different than the x39 conversion?

[Smith]

Everything is the same except for the mag catch and the hammer. You have to shave down the bottom front of the hammer to get it to work. The mag catch doesn't need any work and there isn't any guard around it, which makes it a little easier than the x39, especially with the Tromix DIY trigger guard.

Coal Creek in Knoxville is going to have about half a dozen side folders for sale this week. I saw them working on them yesterday.

One is one mean looking shotgun.

Nice work Nate...but im not a fan of the HK sights...would rather go with a rail and dot or ghost ring for a shottie

[Smith]

Yeah I agree on the sights but they look cool! Anyway, I may go the Russian route and get the bolt on front sight tower and ghost ring rear.

[BrandonTN]

Sweet! That's one of my next purchases...you know, so the 7.62 doesn't get lonely while surrounded by all my other non-commie firearms.

[Smith]

I highly recommend it!

Saigas are like Pokemon "Gotta Catch em All!"

[Smith]

Yeah, I'd really like one of the new .308's. I suspect they are Vepr based.

[Magiccarpetrides]

Im not a big fan of the wood furniture...mines the older synthetic style...took me forever to find a 22" one...i got a 16" for the AK but I was wanting the longer barrel for .308

Tony Rumor makes the coolest stuff. I envy his creativity.

My brother-in-law had him do a Saiga 12 for him with the folding stock and everything. It was awesome.

Have you seen the pictures of his "siamese" M16 on his web site? Ridiculous... but brilliant.

I have the 16" 308 and it is very accurate. Of course it's pretty loud too. :-)
