On the selector lever, it is from that conversion not having the stop left on it.

On the USAS12 mag, it needs to be thinned at the top where is goes into the receiver. You will also need to build up the mag catch and the front catch, I have seen a lot of guys build it up with epoxy, and then file it into shape. Do a search on Saiga12's forum and you will find more exact answers. I have yet to find any down here to do the conversion on myself, but I almost scored the drum from one. That would have been bad ass.

It will also only take 2 3/4in shells, so don't try any 3inchers,
