Shooter1 0 Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 I recently purchased a Saiga-12. Good looking gun with a wonderful cyclical rate! Trigger is nasty, though. Anyone got any ideas for taking out the creep? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 cycle the crap out of the action and shoot it a LOT. i try to think of any AK variant as a cobjob gun, and take its flaws as part of the package. there should be some sites out there with info on AK trigger group adjustments that should help you.

Shooter1 0 Posted November 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2003 Does this gun require "Saiga specific" parts or will other AK parts fit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bvamp 604 Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 some AKM parts will fit it yeh, not all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lagomorph 0 Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Yes, some ak parts will fit, but unless you are trying to move the trigger forward, some parts will have to be modified due to the way EAA had to originally modify the trigger for import. Its a bit of a hassel to mill small, tempered triggers, sears, and catches, if you know what I mean. If you are trying to improve the trigger it would probably be easier to move it forward to begin with. If you choose to go that route, you will also have the option to attach a thumb-hole stock, or a regular pistol grip and stock, if you're brave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shooter1 0 Posted November 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 What about the use of an adapter like the product ACE puts out? Will that eliminate the need for moving the trigger group forward and allow the attachment of an optional pistolgrip or different style stock? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BattleRifleG3 16 Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Sadly, unless you are a law enforcement officer, you cannot presently legally install a pistol grip on a semi-automatic shotgun that already has a detachable magazine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shooter1 0 Posted December 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 I am a LEO; am considering SaltPeter's advice to "just get the 12-C. . .", but always find alterations/additions/ etc. a nice challenge. Will the ACE receiver block work in this instance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
