Ammo is like food
most of the conversions use redstar or tapco trigger groups so anyone that carry them

If you want to keep the bolt hold open, then you need to modify the hammer by grinding the right hub down about a 1/16" or so. If you remove the BHO(recommended) you don't need to modify the Tapco trigger.

just throwing this out there...but if you are willing to do a little sanding and polishing you can get a better trigger using an arsenal 2 stage FCG...brand new their very gritty but once you polish them their very smooth, and the break is clean and easily predictable vs the G2...most use the G2 because their cheaper...just a thought, whichever you pick will work just fine.
I don't suppose you know anyone local selling the arsenal? I think it will largely come down to what (if anything) I can find locally. I am hoping to have my Saiga 5.45 converted to take to the range sometime this weekend. If I can't at least find a Tapco local and have to order, I may just as well go with the arsenal (don't mind sanding/polishing if I end up with a better product).
Keepshooting has the TAPCO M4 style stock that needs no other changes.But where is the fun in that?
The only conversion stocks I've ever seen around here have been the crappy Tapco ones. You're almost certainly going to need to go online to get the good stuff - it's kind of a niche item.
Also, I went with a Tapco G2 because I didn't want to deal with the trigger bite issues associated with stock AK triggers (like the Arsenal).

Not to mention they just look fugly with pistol grip and unmoved trigger group.

any real reason you cant order online?
Two arsenal fcgs and no slap/bite issues...honestly, never even heard of one doing it...both my rifles have tuned arsenals, and they blow the g2 in my saiga 12 away...even after polishing...
No real reason...just have some free time this weekend (which is rare for me these days) and wanted to do the conversion. Ended up ordering a g2 off amazon with free shipping and am going to pick up a stock/grip/grip screw at blue ridge later today. I read a little more about the arsenal and when you do them right they sound awesome but I cant be sure ill really have the time to play around with it (also I'm a noobie with the ak platform so don't really have a feel for what it's supposed to be like which might make tuning take more time).

You'll like the G2. It's not perfect for long range work but for the forte of an AK, it's nearly perfect.

I doubt I'll be doing anything more than 50 yards with it. After a few hundred rounds with the stock trigger I think the G2 will be a godsend.
