Thanks for the advice! After a bit of filing of the front right part of the trigger and bottom of the safety, I was able to assemble a working fcg in the receiver. I think I'll wait a few days before dealing with the BHO.

How much filing and fitting is expected after purchasing the Tromix fcg from CSS? The modified tapco trigger has one hook removed, but it still will not move when the axis pin is installed. With rifles, I understand that one simply enlarges the slot on the bottom of the receiver at the front of the trigger.

Thanks for all the good information! I'm still debating on which stock to purchase for a converted saiga-12.

Thanks for the feedback on the CSS trigger guard. Their videos make it look so easy. Good product, amazingly good video instructions - I'll be ordering a conversion kit from CSS.

I'd like to convert my saiga 12 and add a pistol grip. How sturdy is the carolina shooters pistol grip kit (http://store.carolin...SION-KIT/Detail)? Would the AK-builder pistol grip kit be better?

Does the stock gas piston of a saiga 12 have a directionality? (I've read that some US gas pistons have a directionality.)
