  1. @GunFun, understood.. yesterday I took the trigger out (G2) and just gave it a quick hit with the dremel\wire wheel and it did polish it some but still breaking at < 4.5 lbs. Honestly I can't tell the difference between the 4.5lbs and 3 - 3.25lbs of the ALG. The clear difference is the long travel. That said I'm going to pursue it, I found some Diamond files on eBay for $9 shipped but then I just dialed-up Harbor Freight (cheap chinese tools) and found a set for $3.99 which I headed out to get later today...
  2. Will do, I may even block out some time later today for it. Just going to polish it to start, I don’t have a diamond file as you stated in prior post but will look into one. Off topic but related, I just completed and AR budget-build and wasn’t about to spend $210 on a Geissele Trigger. I polished up an old Mil-Spec trigger as per this article and it breaks just like the $66 ALG Advanced Combat Trigger (ACT) for the AR so figure I’ll give the Tapco a little buffing like the AR trigger with my Dremel and wire-wheel and see what happens. For what it is the G2 is and its price point it is an ex
  3. @ Spacehog & GunFun Nice job! I appreciate and pics I’ll definitely go over my Tapco\Double hook and do a before and after with the trigger gauge. Thanks for the info guys, its greatly appreciated!
  4. Never polished it, it was pretty good right of the box but I will give it a try. I like the new trigger but I'm not going to change all of them, the Tapco is great with my Scout scope setup but I'm interested in polishing it a little. Where exactly is the "disco" area?
  5. My Trigger scale arrived. The ALG trigger is breaking at 3 ~ 3.25 lbs. I tested my other S762 and was surprised to see it clocking-in between 4.25 ~ 4.5 lbs., so to my surprise the Tapco Double hook is a little heavier. Too me the travel distance between the two triggers is very obvious but the slightly heavier trigger is not is not all that noticeable. The Wheeler scale is made in china but the testing results were consistent with the 1 ~ 1.25lbs difference between the two triggers. I’m leaving the Tapco double hook in my second S762 because is all setup the way I like it. I may purchase the
  6. Thanks you Sir! The more I shoot the S762's (regardless of the trigger installed) the more I like them. Looking forward to getting back out to the range to test this setup. We have been averaging a trip to the range "about" every 3 weeks so I thinking by the end month I should have it tested. Thanks for the feedback and up vote.
  7. After seeing the video I thought I was going to have that issue right out of the box so I was thrilled not have the play. I don’t know too much about the about the other AK variants and ALG says in one of their promos “some fitting” may be required so I guess as a Saiga owner I lucked out. I doubt if I’ll be doing another ALG trigger, the Tapco’s work fine and I just wanted to see firsthand what the ALG was all about. This rifle is a good candidate for it whereas my other S762 is running a Scout Scope mounted on the Unimak and I just don’t see a need on that S762. Anyway IIRC you were the
  8. Here’s a quick overview of my install, there were four alterations required. Trimmed the Tapco retaining plate Removal of repurposed original trigger guard and replaced with aftermarket Grinding hammer for correct fit on hammer pin with BHO Fitting the Roll pin for the Safety clearance If anyone is looking to install one of these and already has the aftermarket trigger guard and a different retaining device your install will go quicker. My personal preference was to salvage the original trigger guard(s) but it didn’t play nice with the ALG trigger, the new ALG hammer bottomed out of the
  9. Take a look post 7 on AR15.com. If you decided do it you may want to use the chainsaw file as suggested, I got a two pack of ebay shipped for $5 or less.
  10. I don’t know the logistics but it was Texas AK Designs before it was Canis. I purchased kit from Texas AK Designs. Here’s are a few pics, sorry about the clarity in first image. If Canis didn’t change the LRBHO you just want to notch out enough to clear the back & top of the LRBHO. I started with the Tapco hammer then reverted back to the factory hammer, that’s another story... If you use the original hammer you don’t need to take off much. After all was said and done I used the original Saiga hammer with the Tapco G2 AK Trigger Double Hook trigger. So in the end double hook or single
  11. Don’t know if this was posted previously but I spotted it posted another forum. Reverse BATFE ban on import of 7n6 ammunition
  12. These are a still nice looking rifles even in in original factory configuration. It’s great you were able to do a work around on the state restrictions and still comply with 922r. Nice job, enjoy your rifle!
  13. If you are saying you messed up on the mag release you are not alone. I took too much off on one of my S762’s as well, take a look here and you will see the replacement of the one to left. I purchased the replaced/upgrade from CSS. With their kit you have a choice of either using the rivet or screw with thread-locker but you must fit this part to your rifle as well. I guess it’s best if you get a few different mags and test fit with each. If you get this kit or one like it just go slow with the filing & fitting and you will be good (EDIT typos)
  14. looks good, some of the paints today are very good so that should hold up well. I actually went the other way and painted a green stock and hand guard black.
  15. I don’t think you will be sorry if you had one done professionally. This thread contains my DIY job but I also had one done professionally, here’s both side by side in the image #2 FYI the Bastard rifle is the same one in this thread, I blacked-it-out...
  16. Buy or borrow a cheap bore sight and that should get you on paper at 50 yards. They could be had online fairly cheap. I have Bushnell Laser Boresighter, not great but it gets me on paper. If that don’t do it you may have some other issues. EDIT: typo
  17. Results will probably be much the same as in your previous post. I already have the S308, S233 and S762 so no Saiga worries here. Anyhow for myself even prior to the ban I’d planned on getting a Mossberg MVP Patrol Rifle chambered in 308. It’s not a high-end rifle but enough for me as a second 308 plus it accepts DPMS/M14 style magazines.
  18. I use Rider. They are only in certain states but might be worth a look...
  19. I know you some of you guys are doing the original adapter and this don't apply but I would negligent if I didn't correct it. It was a while ago when I did the mods so sometimes details all run together. The correction is the original trigger needs a slight trim as well with the Bastard and LRHBO install. Like the Tapco the lower from half needs a trim to clear the LRBHO. Again if you do the Bastard w/o the lrbho or original adapter no hammer mods are needed. I went shooting today when I cleaned the Bastard gun tonight and seen the trim job clear as day and figured I better correct this.
  20. I think the tunneling is the best method because you are using your own connection. Below is a *little* more involved because you need a dd-wrt compatible router but its not that bad. I’ve been doing it this way for years.
  21. It’s nice but if and wanted (and could afford) a wall-hanger I’d take the commemorative MTK90
