Saiga Modern SM 7.62X39 Semi-Automatic Rifle - 30 Rounds | 16" Barrel | Synthetic

I was actually very happy with this purchase

I love this rifle. Its light, easy to handle, surprisingly accurate and I barely notice the recoil. Over a thousand rounds and no malfunction, but I didn't expect any. The magazine can be a bit difficult to load, but after emptying it a few times downrange it gets easier. At least that's how it was with mine. I have absolutely no complaints and would recommend this rifle and Bud's Gun Shop to anyone.

Fit and finish are outstanding, sights are straight. Accepts and feeds all the mags I've tried, Circle10,Magpul,Tapco,Bulgarian polymer, and the supplied US Palm without wobble.I did not experience the issues that Damon L mentioned in his review. Overall I am extremely satisfied with Bud's and this Saiga purchase.

I originally bought a IZ-132(unconverted) from here on Bud's, and was so impressed that the importer, RWC Group, was converting the rifles themselves, I immediately sold my unconverted Saiga to a friend and bought this one. Overall, they did a decent job on the conversion except 2 things. First, the outside of the barrel on the breech end was gouged pretty bad. They said it was from the hydraulic press with they threaded the muzzle break on. Got most of it polished out, and even though it doesn't affect the operation of the gun, it was kinda careless in my opinion, and definitely an eye sore. Second thing is they did the magazine conversion completely backwards. Instead of filing down the magazine catch lever, they just filed down the catch of the US Palm magazine that comes with it. Also, a simple fix, but if they files the supplied magazine down any further, it would have been too loose fitting. I will say that their customer service was pretty decent and friendly. I could have had the option to have the entire gun replaced, but didn't wanna go through the trouble. Overall, I really like the gun, but the couple of things I mentioned left a sour taste. Makes me miss my unconverted Saiga cause it was flawless.
