Looking for a smith around the PGH area that does Saiga conversions...
I'm looking at picking up a 7.62 Saiga for conversion, but I am not terribly mechanically inclined. http://www.cross-conn.com/Saiga_Conversion/ <------This website has the conversion process, as well as a picture of EXACTLY how I'd like to build my Saiga. Drilling into a brand new rifle's reciever makes me EXTREMELY nervous. Anybody know of any local gunsmiths who are familiar with the Saiga conversion? I checked with Bravermans (have had good experiences with them), but their smith is not familiar with the conversion. I don't want to have to talk a smith through everything that needs done, just buy the package and drop it off.
-Thanks

Where do you live? I would be willing to help you do it, I have the right tools and have done my 223 and 12 gauge.

Mr. Natrona, do you know anyone in the area that can pur an AK kit together?

Yes, I could do it. But I need to see it, to see if it would be cost effective for you. There is a lot of work involved, if trunion holes need drilled and so on. So if you would like, stop in the shop sometime. Check out our facebook page for our address and more info.http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002768732578
