Saiga

Does anybody make a collapsible stock (A4 type) for the Saiga Rifle?
Can AK47 mags be altered to work in the Saiga?

Just needs to be for stamped receiver.
Here is a folding collapsible.

AK pistol grips fit as well.

There is a conversion. It is pretty involved. You need to drill and tap inside the receiver. The trunnion is extremely hard expect to break a tap on your first attempt. Then have a wonderful time trying to get it out. Instead of the suggested #6 tap I use a #8 now to keep from breaking them. I still have to be very slow and deliberate to not break the #8. It's cheaper just to pay the extra and buy the hi cap saiga magazines, instead of having a smith do the mod. Here's some decent mags that aren't too bad.
