Was wondering if anyone had any good resources to offer as far as doing the Saiga 308 conversion (Im talking about pics and or vids).

I have looked on youTube and such but I havent seen any real "how to's" which is a bit odd for you tube.

I already purchased necessary parts to move the trigger group and such from Dinzag so I am going to get cracking as soon as it shows up in the mail which should be this week..

Any links anyone can provide which would make it any easier?

I've converted many 308-1 Saiga's to pistol grip. Both Carolina Shooters Supply and Mississippi Auto Arms are good sources for conversion info. But info for the 308 Saiga is sparse. Much of what you see on the shotgun and rifle conversion videos will apply to the 308 model.

The 308 version of the Saiga is totally different from the shotguns and other rifle calibers. The Saiga 308 trigger group is unique. You should purchase a fire control group specifically modified for the 308 model. Luckily, the 308 fire control group doesn't have any extra holes that have to be filled in like the other Saiga models. Also, the denial plate is welded to the receiver making removal a pain. With simple hand tools, pretty much anyone can convert the 308 in about 2-4 hours. There will be bare metal exposed afterward, so you'll want to touch it up (or paint the entire rifle) with matte black Aluma-Hyde II or other gun paint.

Here's a pile of parts removed from my first 308-1 model conversion...

Many thanks for the info. I did purchase a fcg specifically for the saiga 308 from dinzag.

You wouldn't have any specific links to info would you? ( I mean like pics or step by step instructions?)

2-4 hours sounds like a lot of time for something that everyone says is so simple

Might want to go over to www.saiga-12.com forums and ask in the 308 forum. I did my 308 a couple years ago and I thought it a bit trickier than when I did my 12.
