Hi Folks!

New to the Saiga section.

I see "converted" Saigas for sale that are IZ 109's with modifications that seem to go for about $400 more than the "stock" 109's. What exactly is changed in the converted models? Mostly just add-on's, or are there some major metalwork changes? I'd love a converted version, but I'm pretty handy mechanically and it seems it might be cheaper to get a 109 and do it myself if I knew what was involved. If someone could tell me or steer me to a source for the answer I'd greatly appreciate the help!

Thanks!
