after the remmy is gone u'll still need to trick out that saiga. deal like that aint for me.

:2cents:

Ammo is cheap dont know about he mags but my guess is u should be able to install bulletguide and use commie mags if the magwell doesnt need modding

Jump on that 5.45 Saiga for $300 !!!!!
Mine ran fine on surplus mags without a bullet guide. I did add one though.
I've run most all surplus mags without a guide with a 100% outcome.
Russian poly,Bulgie poly,Polish poly,Polish steel,Romanian steel,East German.
Be carefull,use of "hi-cap" mags and 14 imported parts is a "no-no".
A conversion is very easy with simple tools.

Go to the Build it Yourself forum in the AK forums - there's a Saiga conversion thread started with a video link to the how-to. Its a piece of cake.
