The trigger was nasty. I'm told the conversion fixes this.

Lack of a bolt hold open feature.
The conversion does indeed fix the trigger. The stock S12's trigger location is a few inches to the rear from where it normally is in an AK, but the hammer is in the same place. Those extra parts murder the trigger pull.

It's very easy to clean up the trigger on a S12 conversion.

As for the bolt hold open, as pointed out, it's a manual feature. Good for showing clear, useless for anything else. Given how difficult it is to load a magazine on a closed bolt, a real BHO actuated by the magazine follower would have been incredibly useful.
