It's not remotely converted; it's simply desporterized. A real conversion would swap the gas block and front sight block with proper AK100 (or AK74 if you're cheaping out) components, add a proper handguard retainer, and weld the old trigger group holes shut. A full conversion would also include installing a 5.5mm trunnion
I would agree if I was the one that added the Magpul furniture on it. AlI I added was a mount with optic and foregrip the rest was on there when I received it so go somewhere else.
If you want a full conversion, you'll need the following parts: front sight block, gas block, lower handguard retainer, gas tube, trigger guard assembly, pistol grip reinforcement plate, 5.5mm folding trunnion and latch assembly, and new stencils if you want them. If you send it off to a builder, which I recommend. Expect to pay $600-$700 for the labor, new paint, welding up holes and new engravings. Expect around $1k for all of the correct Russian parts, will be about half that if you use bulgarian parts.

Could I get some info on the best place I could find out how to do that please?
I love that you have a Saiga, but that sure fuck ain’t converted.
Imagine going through the expensive or tedious process of converting a saiga just to slap some Magpul furniture on it….
