AR to AK Mag Adapter

and was either told or I read somewhere that you had to do some metal removing from inside the rifle, and that once this was on there, you could pretty much not go back

There are two adapters available, this one and another, the other one might be like that?


If you watch what your doing when removing what needs to be removed, yes you can still use AK style mags. There's a thread in the Saiga rifle area but here's the short of it.
If you look into the mag well at the trunnion you see that area where the two rivets go (one on each side), this is the area that needs most of the work done since the AR mag is wider at the front, you can put an AR mag in and see this. A small amount is taken off the lug that the front of the AK mag goes into but this only takes a fews passes with a file.
Now if you don't pay attention and just take out metal until the AR mag fits, you could possible make it so AK style mags no longer work.

The adapter itself has a tang that hooks between the receiver & trunnion and the rear locks into the factory mag latch.

Hopes this helps
