sKott 26 Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 I had Dinzag Arms modify a G2 Double Hook trigger to work with a Saiga 12. I reused the spring from the original FCG. He had to shave the hammer face, shorten the pin shaft for the BHO Lever and polished the rest of the surfaces the make contact. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sKott 26 Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Where did you get the "C" stamp from? What size? etc. I'd like to stamp mine... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomovich 0 Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 (edited) Where did you get the "C" stamp from? What size? etc. I'd like to stamp mine... Looking back with hindsight I should have stamped it with a "K". Or maybe "C/K" Just a generic set of stamps from the machine supply companies (Harbor Freight, J&L, Enco, etc.). I have several sizes. Maybe a 3/16"?? The funny thing is I have two set of different sized Cyrillic font stamps from Russia and the US set font matched better!! Duh.

Messiah Jones 2 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 This is a great write-up and should be a sticky. I did a side-folder a long time ago and always regretted not taking step-by-step pics for a write-up. Awsome job man! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sKott 26 Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Thanks Jones... I will pick it up from Global Trades (Elk River) today - Rivets and welding will be done & I'll Post Picts tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sKott 26 Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) I got the receiver back from Elk River yesterday and proceeded with the test fit of all of the parts. 5 US Compliance parts installed: K-Var Pistol Grip (1), Dinzag Arms US FCG (3), Tromix Gas Piston Puck (1). I believe my parts count is within compliance. If it is not please someone let me know. Elk River welded all of the holes, welded the pistol grip plate, riveted the rear receiver and trigger guard. ($150 + tax) Selector side Rail Side I had to flatten the domed rivets on this side with a file to allow the stock to fold. I cannot remember... Are they all flat or just this side? This was the pain in the butt. I spent about an hour truing to get everything to fit using the BHO and the Retaining plate. Another shot of the double hook trigger. Retaining latch installed. Had to use a regular e-clip to secure the pin - I'm still waiting for the factory clip from Oleg. This will work for the time being. Back Selector Side Back Rail Side Extended Folded Rail Side Folded Selector Side Hopefully I will get to test fire it today. After I make sure everything is working I will get Elk River to parkerize and I will Molly Resin the S-12 C. I also plan on sending the bolt carrier, rear locking pin and BHO lever to Elite Custom Plating to be hard chromed. and then It should be done.

Looking at your pic above it appears to be installed correctly, Are you having problems with it? sKott's pic I haven't had the opportunity to shoot it yet. - for some reason it just looked funny. I got back home and checked and it is the same as my AK's and they work just fine. Just want to make sure all is well. I hope to test it over the weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

73cj5 1 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Any problems with the carrier hitting the rear trunion?? I have a setup here, but after doing some research awhile back I just let it collect dust. I thought that I read about the carrier being a problem. Either way, excellent job.

Thanks - You have to modify the trunnion slightly for the carrier to miss the trunnion. Here is a picture of a Saiga 12C Trunnion that was destroyed during demill. The area in green shows roughly what needs to be removed on a regular AK 100 Folding trunnion. I bought it to use as a hole locator. Works rather well, Just had to shave the hinges off of the other side. - Bolt it up to the existing receiver and drill the 10mm Hole. then go back and re-drill with an 11mm on the hook side. I also use the old receiver parts to use for a template for the rest of the cutting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RDSWriter 5 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 sKott: Quick question... can you post the hole sizes for all the rivets/pins for your conversion? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sKott 26 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 sKott: Quick question... can you post the hole sizes for all the rivets/pins for your conversion? I used a: 4mm (5/32") to drill the 3rd rivet hole, the retaining latch pin hole, the spot weld holes for the Grip plate, and the trigger guard holes. a 10mm to drill the locking pin hole and then came back with an 11mm to make it the correct size. Hope this helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oldandslow 3 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) Looking forward to your refinish pictures. I'm sitting here patiently, waiting to see how yours turns out. I copied your trigger guard (actually a lot more work than I expected) and am going to copy your paint work. (I hope I am not violating any patents.)

I copied your trigger guard (actually a lot more work than I expected) and am going to copy your paint work. (I hope I am not violating any patents.) This may not be appropriate in this forum. I apologize sKott. I will happily remove it. But I would like to buy one of these from You, if You were willing to make it. Or We could think of something else(hint hint) that I have that You would trade. If not maybe oldandslow would be up for the pain in the butt for some monetary compensation. Thanks in advance everyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sKott 26 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Not finished yet.... I did however get the Kobra Red Dot optic for it. I posted the rest of the Kobra pictures on another topic. According to my list All I have left is Parkerization MollyResin Hard Chrome Plating And an ACE Case Bag. I have to say this has been one of the most expensive conversion/builds I've ever done. But I would not have done it any differently. It is exactly as I imagined it.
