Another thought, is to purchase a Saiga 5.56 so that you've got all of the components you'll need from the start. May even be cheaper!
Well I would, but... I am working on a build with 84s parts on a hesse receiver I used a bulgarian trunion that global sells for the chinese barrels. For US parts I have the receiver, Gtech G2 FCG, and a KVAR black nato length ak74 style stock set. Only thing I have left to work out is the mag issue. Norinco mags don't fit, AK-74 mags don't, weiger mags and waffle mags don't either, lol. I have started some mods to the trunion to make it so either the weiger mags or waffle mags will fit. Maybe I would be smarter to try to get the ak-74 mags to fit instead (cheaper price). Once I get that worked out I will be ready to test the gun. This project is kind of a bastard project in that I have been working on it off and on for about a year, getting it out whenver I feel the urge to do some wecsog work. I want to get it done before to much longer though. Guess that is what I get for trying to do to many things at once, lol.
