Ok, so I decided to treat myself to a Saiga 12 for as an early Christmas present.
And I decided that it really needed to be converted to a pistol grip. So sit back, relax and enjoy the magic of time elapse photography.
First off, I want to say that this was a really simply conversion. All it took were the required 922R compliance parts –
And the following tools –
Hand drill
Assorted drill bits
Center punch
Hammer
Dermal tool and cut off wheel.
Screw driver (you could also use one that isn’t as rusty!)
Needle nose pliers
Assorted punches
Total time for the conversion was approximately 4 hours, not including the 1 week cure time for the Aluma Hyde II (see below).
1. Clear the gun and make sure it’s unloaded.
2. Then check it’s unloaded and clear it again.
3. Field strip by removing the top cover.
4. Remove the recoil spring.
5. Remove the bolt carrier and bolt.
6. Next, I remove the three screws securing the butt stock – two on top and one on the bottom.
7. Insert (your rusty) screw driver and “gently” pry the butt stock loose.
