I'll be doing one soon and am looking for info such as tips and links on where to buy from.
Anyone here with experience in converting a 7.62x39 Saiga? I'm interested more in using standard AK handguards and adding a muzzle brake.
Unfortunately my FSB is clamped and has dimples and is not pinned on. Removing it to add a standard AK FSB seems like it will be a pain in the ass so I think I'll be cutting back the sleeve on the Saiga one and threading the barrel for a brake, and then using a mig welder to tack it permanent. I've read about how hard the dimpled blocks are to remove and how a tubing cutter can be used to cut the sleeve.
Plus the Saiga FSB doesn't have a bayonet lug so theres no need to file the ears down on one to make it Mass legal.
