CaptLouie 8 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Thought I'd seen this topic somewhere on the Forum, but couldn't find it with multiple searches... I've been told that.... The AK Hammer Spring won't fit the Saiga (in general), too short... different length, etc. etc. I've also been told that.... The AK Hammer Spring and the Saiga 308 Hammer Spring are the same, AK spring can be used...... Anyone know for sure... or tried using an AK Hammer Spring?

mollysman420 19 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Iv got saiga hammer springs in other AKs and the other way around all work just fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptLouie 8 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Iv got saiga hammer springs in other AKs and the other way aroundall work just fine MANY thanks... With my history and Springs (the old broken BHO story) I'm going to order me up a couple.... Any idea about the "return spring"? Same story or are they different???

gunnysmith 4 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Not so, The Saiga spring is shorter on the right hand leg to clear the BHO. Use of a standard AK spring with the BHO installed wil cause the disconnector not to engage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

K.... here I am in this Loop-loop-loop again..... Where can I get a Hammer Spring for my Saiga 308 rifle? AK springs I've been able to find, not for Saiga specific (such as the 308). Could I (maybe) just use the AK, trim the end on the RH side and re-bend...? or.... Duh..... Edited January 21, 2009 by CaptLouie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Yes you can Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptLouie 8 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Yes you can Well then... that is my plan Stan....! By the way, I just checked my current (factory) Hammer Spring in the 308 (took it out to check)... If one leg is shorter than the other.... it's no more than a couple of RCH's... Cannot see any noticable difference in the legs on mine... ... ya just never know.... ya know.... Thanks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunnysmith 4 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Leave out the BHO and there won't be a problem with either spring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mollysman420 19 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 My S12 Is the only saiga I left the BHO in as it is the only one to hold the carrier open far enough to strip a round when engauged Quote Link to post Share on other sites
