I have a saiga 762 that i'd like made 922 r compliant.  I'm figuring fcg and the piston should give me the four compliant parts.  I have nice imported russian hardwood furniture so i don't want to go that route.  I tried campsite's gunsmith but no luck there.  Who can I get locally in Nassau to get this done and more importantly will they order / provide the parts or do I?  I'm kind of tired of ordering the wrong parts.  Thanks!

Tapco compliance parts: http://www.tapco.com/products/ak_classic/index.php?_a=viewCat&catId=28

As far as installation just do it yourself. It's not rocket surgery.

tried it.  gas piston needs to be drilled out, repeened, tapped.  tapco trigger group doesn't drop in.  quite a bit more than i feel comfortable with.

Check out this website it gives you a list that count towards 922r compliance. http://gunwiki.net/Gunwiki/BuildSaigaVerifyCompliance
All that has to be done is make sure 4 or 5 parts are made in the USA.

You could try Kvar for an Arsenal fcg. Not sure if it's drop-in or not.

ok so what exactly am i ordering? i've already thrown out more crap and it's quite upsetting.

i'm figuring this:

but by converted saigas are they talking about moving the trigger group? does this affect the fcg?

i need two pins to replace the drilled out ones:

and i need this thing:

i still have the piston.

Converting does mean moving the FCG forward, right now the trigger is hooked up with a canterleaver set up. So when they say " converting" it's moving the trigger into the forward position, adding a pistol grip w/trigger guard and changing the stock.

 

[The Robfather]

So if i don't want a pistol grip this is the wrong thing?

 

[McGunner]

Yep.....

Not a big deal to do,think I saw a YOUTUBE video on it,I gotta do mine soon so I can change something else back to original.

Lets start at the beginning;

"I have a saiga 762 that i'd like made 922 r compliant."

Why isn't it (or don't you think it is) 922r complaint already?

I think he's thinking of converting it from its hunting rifle status to AK-47 looking.

Will there be a gallery to watch the surgery? Please document so we can see. Looks like a very interesting project.
