I just bought a Saiga .223 from Gilbert's Guns (on the internet). It shoots great. I have added 30 round mags, a pistol grip, 6 position butt stock and a new forend (handguard). These parts make it compliant with the 30 round mag. I have the original mag up for sale in the "For Sale" section of this forum. Check it out if you need a mag. I am not going to do a conversion at this time, I like it just the way it is, plus I can go back to original if I have too.
