What has to be done to one of these rifles so they will take regular .223 AK mags? If this is posted elsewhere, I apologize. Thanks for any help!!

Do you have to install a feedramp as well, or am I thinking of something else?

Yes, you will need a feed ramp for it to function.

Back up in the thread I posted. In step 8 it shows how to install the bullet guide.

Add a bullet guide & mod the release lever (shorten).

Yes you will need to make a bullet guide or feed ramp and then it depends on what mags you use. I have made AK74 mags ans Galil mags work in mine. I prefer to mod the mags instead of the rifle but alot of people prefer to just mod the rifle once but the rivits are there for a reason so I do not like gringding on the head of them at all.

I am one of those fix the rifle once types.
I do it because I have multiple 556 AKs that can all use the same mag now.
Makes it a lot easier since they are all different makes. :wink:

I fit your gun with every 5.56 mag I could find, from ever country that I could find and they all fit. I think Tony did the same thing because they all fit just fine.

cool.

My saiga krink uses Bulgy and Polish mags.
Just need to mod the bottom of the trunion.
No mag catch work..
