I am curious why the Red Jacket guy likes Saiga for his conversions.

As opposed to what?
There's just nothing else to convert. If you want to make a regular Remington 870 or Mossberg 500 less politically correct, you're only bolting on a new stock. With the Saiga 12, there's actual work to be done to the gun. Simple work, but many folks don't want to do it. Why do they like to convert Saigas? Because that's what there is, and it helps that they're generally decent quality (and with a good machine shop, the few with issues can be remedied easily), simple to do, and the conversion increases the value enough to make a business out of it.
As for the ATF, it's easy enough to find their criteria for sporting/nonsporting and the exact text of 922r. Both have even been posted on this board several times.
