sagia2800 0 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Anyone have any pics on the tromix trigger gaurd install other than the "reused" tigger gaurd install ones I see in the forum? I'm at the point of drilling the holes, and am at a loss as to which way the screws go in and bolt to the reciever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DyLonX5 3 Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Grind off the head of the rivits on the old trigger gaurd and use a punch to pop them out down thru the gun and pull the old gaurd off. The holes that remain will be the bolt holes. Center the tromix and screw the hex screws into it down thru the inside of the reciever and use the washer on the screw at the back of the reciever closest to the stock. You might need to notch the bottom of the stock to clear that last screw as well, I had too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As Dylan mentioned you need to derivet and then completely remove the factory trigger guard and the trigger guard plate. Once that is done the Tromix DIY trigger guard installs in their place like so.............. These pictures (courtesy of Tony) can also be found if you go to post #58 on the second page of this thread ( http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=23550 ) in the Tromix section.

You don't have to drill any holes. After you remove the old guard, the screws go down from the top through the reciever into the threaded inserts of the DIY guard. Use the large washer on the rearmost screw. Frogfoot's pics show it all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sagia2800 0 Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Thanks, That makes sense, Im at the point of punching out the holes, I started to drill one of them out, but stopped to ask the question here. The rivets should pop out with a punch? BTY...this forum is the best! Thanks for your help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

corbin 621 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) +1 for the Tromix DIY trigger guard. I have one and I love it. After breaking the weld on my original TG twice, I decided to get one: Figuring I must be hard on TGs or something, I opted to mount my Tromix TG a little more securely..... Instead of just having the threads on the TG itself hold things together, I installed slightly longer screws from the bottom and held them in place with nuts from the inside. They don't move at all. Granted, this is major overkill, and probably unecessary, but after breaking the welds twice, I decided to make sure I wouldn't have an issue again.
