    I really prefer black furniture. So no wood (insert joke about Chad here)

    Conversion includes Tapco foreend with Tapco six position butt stock and SAW grip. The mag is the new Uinta (aka FBMG) 20 rounders. Took about four hours total to convert. This is number 2 for me and it keeps getting easier (to rationalize).

    No feet were harmed in the modification of this rifle.

    How are the mags? I'm assuming they are the weak part of this weapon system. Very nice looking rifle BTW.

    Hopefully, I'll get out and shoot it soon. Then AAR on mags and shooting.

    They are new ( ordered Wednesday, arrived today) Uintas.

    Nice work! Did you go with the Dinzag trigger? I'm interested in your range report. I have a few steel mags and they function well, but they are very heavy. I was interested in trying out the Uintas.

    I really like the .308. It's an absolute blast to shoot. It has one hell of a muzzle blast.

    Sorry for the delay. Been away for a few days. Just now saw this post.

    So EricOak is correct. I found 99.44% of my info on the net. The Saiga forum is full of info and how-to's for doing conversions. A 308 is not much different from a 12 gauge from a x39. Real difference is the front hand guard.

    I'd be happy to answer your questions, but as for building, in today's litigious society to quote from Blazing Saddles, "I'm sorry son, but you're on your own."
