[S-12 Trigger Slap after conversion and gas porting]

Hi All,

 

I recently converted my Saiga 12, pistol grip, polished bolt, and ported the gas system. Got it working nicely with a Tapco single hook trigger so now it cycles the 1 oz 71/2 shot loads, just barely kicking them out enough on #1 gas setting. But when I fire high velocity slugs on #1, I get bad trigger slap. Ouch! So what to do? Am I overgased and need a different plug or are there further mods to the trigger that will correct this problem?

 

Thanks... Jon

Any signs of wear on the rear trunnion? Being able to shoot low brass on setting 1normally doesn't happen too often. Since you ported the gas system, I would say you're probably over gassed.

 

No wear on the trunnion, but I do have a buffer installed. I did follow the porting instructions carefully, but if it's over gassed, is there an aftermarket plug that would help adjust or...?

Jon, give this page a read. I found it very informative on trigger slap

Yes, that's very helpful information. Appears when I did the original conversion I did modify the disconnector which seems like it should have adequate clearance, is able to travel rearward quite a ways. Not sure whether further material removal would help? What do you think? Any ideas? Could it be something else causing the slap? Could the hammer be thrown back hard enough to cause it to slap down against the trigger?

[S-12 Cheek Weld w/ Red Dot]

I put a Chaos rail on my S-12 hoping to mount a red dot sight close enough to the bore to get a decent cheek weld. So far no luck. Is there any red dot out there with a low enough profile to work with the Saiga or...?

 

i ran this for awhile, on a chaos rail

Does that mount right up to the rail as is or do you need to order a separate mount? How'd it hold up? What did you switch to?

Any 30mm with my upcoming AKM will work

 

Cool, gotta pic? And, ($10k question) when might that be coming out?
