  1. I bought a S308 a few weeks ago, and planning on doing an rpk clone. I ordered a Russian plum rpk,set from russiansurplus. I ordered the 308 version of Dinzig's lower handguard retainer. The rpk lower handguard is too big for the retainer. What options do I have other than removing the fsb and gas block and installing an original rpk retainer? I really didn't want to have to do that. Thanks

  2. I was going to suggest taking the dust cover off and cycling it by hand and watch the spring and FCG when pulling the trigger. See if the spring arms move around or come off during this. I saw a video on fixing this problem once. The one spring arm would come off but would go back into place when pushing the trigger forward to reset it. Couldn't see it happening until the cover was removed.

  3. Well they came off pretty easy. I drilled a little into the dimples and cut down each side with a cutting wheel. Then I took a chisel and hammer and smacked my cuts, and the broke loose pretty easy. Sorry Risky, unless you want to try welding them back together? I trial fit the new gas block and fsb, and they seek like they will go on without a whole lot of trouble. Do I need to press these on with a press, and if so how? Or can I just put them on the oven or something like that and drive them on gently? Thanks 

  4. After removing the original fsb seems like I remember seeing on someone else's build one pin notch under there. Is that pretty common? Or is it a crap shoot? The reason I'm concerned is that I don't want to install the new one canted, and figured if there is atleast one pin notch for each. I could install one pin to line it up before drilling or reaming. After I remove the original fsb, what size bit/reamer do I need to make the notches? I'm going to be using standard size pins. I'm leaning toward getting a reamer and using my friends drill press. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks,

  5. I got a lot of my fix-it mentality from my Dad. He could never afford to hire a plumber, so we always fixed things ourselves. Same with cars, I got in the way allot of time's but was always there to at least  hand him tools. I love working on my own cars, but when it will take me 2 or 3 weekends of my time crawling around on the garage floor or paying someone to fix it during the week. Sometimes I would rather pay someone to get it done so it's not down for a few weeks.
