Superhawk138 202 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) Yes!!!!!!!!! It's what holds the hammer and trigger pins in the receiver. Read through some of These. threads about retaining plates. I reuse the factory wire and bend it to fit. Edited June 7, 2009 by Superhawk138 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Read through some of These. threads about retaining plates. I reuse the factory wire and bend it to fit. so the long retaining wire[1inch long then coiled up and then 4-6inches long] must be rapped around like that? is it rapped on each pin or is it UNDER them lining????

xbox360 1 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 how is this attached to the safety lever??? is it on the left side or the right side of the recever, I dont see a rapping point on the right, I see a bit of rapping point of the left Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Superhawk138 202 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) Everything attaches to the left side of the pins and safety lever. I cut some of the coiled spring off to give me a loop then bent the wire to fit the small groove providing tension on the pins. At the front I make a small loop and fits over the hammer pin then under the trigger pin then held tight by the safety lever. Here is a tutorial Cobra76Two showing different ways to make and install the wires. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=11518 But if you have a retaining plate use it. It's much easier to install. Edited June 7, 2009 by Superhawk138 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Superhawk138 202 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 but wont the pins slide around on the retaining plate? I hope not.. No the plate fits in the small grooves on the pins flush up to the receiver. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gtnichols 51 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Just make your own out of a paper clip or buy some "e" clips and use those,.. all on the left side, if something pops out,....... it's wrong! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

xbox360 1 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 why are you talking trash ??? I finished almost just asking why it wasnt working [retaining plate thank you for help] if you dont have something nice to say dont say it at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Superhawk138 202 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I am going to congratulate you on you efforts and the willingness to ask even the noobish of questions at times. But you are a great example that anybody can go through with the conversion. They may be poking fun of you but they would also give you advice to your situation if they needed to. Now get your retaining plate installed and give us a range report. BTW You should have got a PS3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nycGUNguy 61 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 xbox360, Almost everyone here who has done their own conversions has had moments like yours. Just take the good with the bad and learn from both. Your project looks fine but before you do live fire, make absolutely sure everything is in order. There are many forum tutorials and pictures for you to browse over to make sure you're cool. Remember that this is a learning process and you are doing this for the first time. Patience and understanding the mechanics of the tool is the key. You should not leave anything out, such as the trigger and hammer pin retainer. Good luck. nyclu3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I tryed to get it even Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Superhawk138 202 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Just get two small hitch pins and install these to hold your pins. Look at the picture Nalioth posted http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=350999 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vultite 57 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 if the retaining wire seems too iffy to you, try the retaining plate,which IMO is easy as pie to install.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mav 459 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Try the hitch pins, the I found the e-clip really hard to get on the hammer pin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
