Yep, i wish somebody would have told me that!
You need a Front Lower Handguard Retainer.
(they make clip ons, bolt ons,etc, if you get a regular one, you have to cut a small slit/notch on the bottom of the barrel so the retainer locks into place...regular ak-47's already have this notch pre-cut.....its easy as shit with a dremel or sawz-all,lol)
Then you need a new gas tube from a regular ak-47(bulgarian or hungarian works). You CAN use the stock gas tube from your Saiga, however you need to take a dremel or whatever and cut the heat-shield off first, so the new handguard can fit snug onto the top of the barrel.....regular ak-47's don't have heat shields obviously so there's no need for this.
I THINK that's all......
