sleeper

I'm gonna do the conversion and hope that I can reuse the retaining spring and hope that my stock safety still works, LOL. Worst comes to worst, I'll end up sending parts to Dinzag. I don't know of any gunsmiths nearby, but I'll just put in a dummy round with the dust cover off and make sure everything is functioning like it should, I mean, everything goes in almost one way right?

Thanks for the response guys. I think I got it. So I might be able to reuse my retaining spring? And one more thing, does that safety issue affect all 308's with a conversion or just some?

Hey guys. I have a 22" S-308 that I plan on converting. I already bought the Tapco G2 FCG for the 308 from Dinzag which is modified, the trigger guard and the conversion kit which comes with the drill bits, screws, PG nut and screw. Now my question is, do I need to buy a retaining plate? I'm pretty new to this conversion and am not too sure what the function of the retaining plate is, I did some research but couldn't find a direct answer. thanks

bump!

Hey guys. I searched around but couldn't find anything. I have a Saiga .308. I bought a side mount (BP-02 from Kalinkaoptics) and a decent scope that came with rings. Now let me tell you, I'm a complete scope nub, but I love to learn things on my own. I mounted the scope to the rail, but the rings look strange when mounted. It looks like the ring isn't fully attached to the rail but when the scope is mounted it looks dead center and is very sturdy. Pictures provided. Thanks!
