mister freeze 0 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Gun show this weekend... Would an AK FCG work for an S12 conversion? I doubt I'll see much S12 specific parts there... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalioth 405 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 That's the only choice you'll have. The Saiga-12 IS an AK (albeit a bit larger in some areas). Short answer: yes. Median answer: you should read the stickies (they've answered your question already) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davidsuffolk 96 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Gun show this weekend... Would an AK FCG work for an S12 conversion? I doubt I'll see much S12 specific parts there... Over here I can't get any of the US aftermarket FCGs so I had to use an AK set. Works fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vintagedude88 16 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I thought the Tapco G2 need to be modified slightly before it could be "dropped in". If not, why are people paying extra money for Tromix or Dinzag modified FCGs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What exactly needs to be modified? Which stickes, exactly? Sorry for my ignorance, I'm new at all this slf-gunsmithing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmacken37 4 Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Mr. Freeze, Cobra76's excellent thread on converting an S12 addresses the mods needed here: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=5178 Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mister freeze 0 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Cool. Pretty detailed. Picked these up this weekend. I'm gonna go with a Saigatech TG and a SAW grip. What else do I need for a proper conversion? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 A stock, some hand-tools, and patience. That's about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mister freeze 0 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 isn't there a pin I need, or do I re-use one of them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nalioth 405 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 isn't there a pin I need, or do I re-use one of them? Your Saiga comes with all the pins you need. Read the stickies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mister freeze 0 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 what about the sleeve on the hammer/sear assy? Do I have to drill out the sear? Stickies? Sorry, what are stickies? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mister freeze 0 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 the hole in the sear is smaller than that of the trigger, and fits the pin. But what keeps it all from moving sid-to-side? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mister freeze 0 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Cool, I just got it. Almost there!!! Another Q: Is the tall front sight assy tall enough for a rail-mouned HK-style rear? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
