Last Sunday I bought a Saiga 5.45 "hunting" rifle for some fun shooting on the cheap. I unboxed it and it looked like this:

I took her out and put 60 rounds through it and it ran perfectly - so I did what anyone of us would have done. I took it to myglimk2's house and we chopped it up with sharp drills and chisels. Now she looks like this:

Today I put over 300 rounds through her and here is a video of the fun:

After shooting I decided it was time for a new knife. I have owned one CRKT knife before and I was more than happy with their quality so I picked up this:

It's a CRKT M16-14ZSF Tanto folder. My new EDC knife.

James,

Excellent job on the conversion. You are definitely becoming a master with the tools.

Sweet!!

How much of a pain was it to do the conversion??

And how much $$ if you dont mind me asking? I've got an AK-74 already, but I like to have 2 of each!

All told it was about $200 in parts including the trigger kit, bullet guide and furniture. Jeff did all the hard work.
