A few questions on changing S.308 FCG

[Wildblue 0]

I've searched the forum for Saiga .308 FCG information and I want to get confirmation on a few things.

 

First, if I get the $85 RSA adjustable FCG for the VEPR .308, will it be a drop in install with no drilling, grinding, etc? Any other "plug and play" FCG suggestions? Tromix?

 

Second, will standard TAPCO AK Trigger/Hammer Axis-Pin Retaining Plate work in the S.308?

 

Last, what is the best solution for retaining the pins?

 

I already have Surefire mags and an M4 stock kit.

I didn't have to do any grinding on the RSA trigger when I converted my .308, but I don't remember which version I had to use. I suggest calling RSA for their recommendation.

No, the rivet heads inside the receiver for the scope side rail are in the way.

 

Last, what is the best solution for retaining the pins?

 

I used one of these and it seems to work okay.

I use the the Tapco retaining plate on my 308 Saiga, and the 308 Vepr. There isn't anything interfering with their installation. I use them on both of my Romanian SARs with the side rail without any issues as well.
