  2. trigger malfunction question

    in Saiga 7.62 X 39

    Posted · Edited by cino

    7.62 has a tapco trigger kit installed. when I fired the first shot i noticed the trigger did not move all the way back forward. I pushed on the back trigger got a small click and it move forward and would fire again. dropped of dust cover and noticed the spring was not setting on the right side side of the trigger correctly. so i picked the spring up moved it over to where it should be. figured that was the problem. NOT... tried three more rounds and every round i had to push the trigger forward before it would fire. I looked and I dont see anything that looks out of place any suggestions on what to look for?

     

     

    couple of more test fires the hammer spring is coming off I need to take it apart and try to adjust the spring so it is not popping off

    If you have the RWC conversion, they use the Tapco G2 trigger and trigger guard. RWC uses CAA butt stock and forearm with a vertical grip attached to forearm. Does this describe your gun? Not sure what Century work done on their guns...

    I have this... with mag latch filed down to far when I got it but I opted to fix instead of sending it back to factory.

  4. M+M Inc Magazine Release self adjusting

    in Saiga Rifle Conversions

    Posted

    Just personal experience with the  "M+M Inc Magazine Release that's self adjusting" I liked the idea of any magazine works with less wobble. I recently purchased a saiga that the mag latch was filed down to far from the factory so i decided to try one. the cost was 29.99 plus shipping.

     

    1. Super easy to install maybe 10 min tops

    2. The first 2 magazines I tried wouldn't lock in both polymer uspalm and a pmag (should work with any mag pos or not)

    3. I see the issue and I will have to file a little material off very little but none the less I will have to modify/adjust it.

    4. customer service super nice but slightly lacking on responses through email. I called they were nice and I did get a person instantly to talk to. They called me back and said I would need to modify the mag latch. (i knew that was coming before they even called me back)

    6. self adjusting? maybe less wobble? maybe but not out of the box for this particular rifle  I really wont know until I modify and test it out more.

     

    I will post a final opinion after I modify it and run it a while but I am not sure that it will work any better or worse than a properly modified factory mag latch. I understand the design of the M+M and how it should work also to be fair we all know that the Saiga build tolerance is a little lack luster so the axis pin hole for the mag latch may be +/- on its position. But I thought this mag latch would resolve any tolerance issue and have no problem with a variety of mags or any mag hence self adjusting.

    There used to be a website that made it easy to email or mail the correct people.. Anyone have it? I always hate emailing the wrong people.

     

    This currently has 22 cosponsors already and is very new. Isn't this the one that removes suppressors from the NFA and makes them regulated like normal firearms?

    from what i saw when i looked through yes it treats suppressors as normal firearms.

    I think this is the link you are referring to

  8. Gas Regulator

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    I know I saw a post with this info but cant find it.

     

    I was inspecting gas ports and when i thread the regulator back in I screw it all the way down and it almost clicks into position 1 but doesn't. I can back it out almost a full turn to get it to click into position 1. is this correct?

  11. newb question on muzzle brakes

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    So I see all sorts of brakes, flash hiders and door breach. besides those cool looking spikes that I am sure one day i would gouge my leg with it i don't see much difference. I understand the point of the ports being pointed in a certain direction. but besides the port direction i guess i don't understand the difference between them

     

    I guess if i ran out of shells and i could gouge you to death with my cool spike muzzle break :)

    You may know what you're doing but if you've never swapped out a mag latch you might want to look into what's involved.

    It's not that hard, but it can be a bit frustrating the first time you mess with it.  There are lots of good videos on YouTube and I would suggest checking them out if you've never done this before.

     

    Keep in mind that the pin that holds the latch is flared, so you will probably have to drill it out and replace it.

    You'll also need a way to flare the new pin.   You can use a press or a vice/ball bearing combo.  You can even get it done with a ball bearing and a hammer if you're careful and patient.   I would recommend using a piece of packing tape to hold the ball bearing or it will go flying.

     

    There are also other options out there with chicago screw type pins or e-clips if you don't want to bother deforming the pin.

     

    Good luck!

    Thanks for the advice I've done some conversion's  but not looked at doing the mag latch yet. I will do some homework before I go down that rd. Are the extended mag latches worth looking in to? Ive never personally held a rifle with the extended mag release so I am unsure if I would like it or not.

    If you have a Kalashnikov USA (RWC) conversion, I believe that they machined the magazine latch down a little too short on a lot of them.  I think they set them up for the US PALM magazine, but you'll have a lot of front/back (up and down) wobble with surplus and other magazines that can cause feeding issues.   You may need to swap out your mag latch if it will only run with the US Palms. 

    you are correct ill have to change out the latch its to short ugh wish i had looked sooner i just placed an order i could have added it on instead of paying shipping twice

    so i fixed the hammer spring which i guess i over looked 3 times but the actual culprit is a pos magpul gen 3 maybe a gen2 magazine. the us palm works fine....not sure why its a problem they both seem to sit about the same i will have to do some research or better yet just get some different magazines

    I just got a "factory converted" 7.62 the first round is fine then it loads the shell but doesn't push the bolt back far enough to recock the hammer. slides look ok and oiled. first place to look? gas ports gunky? spring?

    figured i was ask instead of starting to guess

     

    sad my conversion fires every time on time.....

    it has the factory hand guard and has a stamp RWC group

     

    I think I did not need the Shepard Hook (spring) because of the retaining plate I installed  but now I have a strong urge to go back over what I have done since I had been reading a lot about converting a 12 and a 7.62 at the same time

    So I picked up a "Factory" converted 7.62 today. I noticed it has a tapco trigger and few other American made parts. this leads me to a few questions. I am a little confused on what they did and who did it.

     

    was this really converted at the factory I assume a us saiga factory?

    is the trigger group a g2 modified?

    I have not taken it apart but it looks like the spring I left out during my pg conversion is still intact?

     

    i guess really my question is what is the difference in getting the Factory conversion over getting dinzag or css parts.   The one+ is a welded bullet guide over tap and drill but the rest i am unsure about.

     

    just learning as I go.
