Frankyoz 15 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Ok so I have been looking at parts for my conversion and while I was at a forum vendor I came across tromix triggers and another company cant remember the name. Anyway they said they were arleady trimmed down, now in the conversion thread I read and videos I watched I didnt see anything about having to trim the triggers to fit. What am I missing here do I need to trim the assembly so it will fit from a single hook tapco trigger if I buy it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't do conversions regularly, the Tromix drop in group is a simple straight forward solution that will get you where you want to go with a minimum of effort. Depending upon the source the FCG is $10 to $20 more than the generic FCG, but you will not have to do things like trim the right side of the hammer, and remove metal above the hammer axis. You will also not have to tear apart the factory trigger group to get the disconnector spring which is not included with the stock Tapco G2 group. The trigger portion of the Tromix modified FCG is truly drop in. Just make sure you have installed your trigger guard first. You CAN do the mods yourself, but if your time is more important to you than the minimal expense involved - go for the low hanging fruit. Good luck! WS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frankyoz 15 Posted December 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Thanks I think I'll just pick the low hanging fruit in this case lol I would like to simplify my first conversion as much as possible it always helps build the confidence level for the next one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No reason to make it more painful than it has to be;) Once again, good luck with your project, and much success. WS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saigafreake 27 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 wat saiga are you converting? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frankyoz 15 Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 It is a 7.62x39 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 It is a 7.62x39 I think WS assumed you were talking about an S12. If you're converting a x39, you can just buy a regular unmodified G2 for about $30 and it will be a direct drop-in for your Saiga. No mods needed. If money is a concern, I'd recommend going that route. If not, then of course you can't go wrong with anything from Tromix. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paprotective 362 Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 Well if you got a dremel tool to do the conversion (or borrow one) you can get the std. G2 single-hook and drop it in. Later you can take the hammer back out and grind the 1/8" for the BHO to squeeze back in (if you want). Save the $20-30. I ordered all my stuff from CSS and was VERY happy. Order a new disconnect spring for $1-2 also and assemble it and then just drop it all in. Good luck and congrats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Later you can take the hammer back out and grind the 1/8" for the BHO to squeeze back in (if you want). You don't need to grind anything to drop-in a standard G2 into a converted x39. Just wanted to clear that up, as your first line implies he would need a dremel to use a standard G2 with his x39. Just trying to keep things clear for the OP. But like you said, if he wants to re-install the BHO (nowhere near as useful, as it is in the S12, IMO) then yes, he'd have to shave a little off the side for fit.

22_Shooter 1,560 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 My saiga didnt come with a BHO so no worries there! Yeah, I never used mine before the conversion, so I saw no personal need to put it back in after the conversion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 1 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Hey guys, just ordered my first saiga yesterday and will be converting it as soon as it gets here Going to order a G2 FCG...Is that all I need? What's a BHO? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave 1 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 7.62 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Star Arms 2,047 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 7.62 You don't necessarily need a Bolt Hold Open on a 7.62. It's a matter of personal preference. If you choose to have one (most don't), you will need to take off about 3mm from the BHO side of the hammer axis. A G2 FCG should drop in just fine. Good luck!

Dave 1 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Awesome. Thanks, man. So the BHO holds the bolt open after the last round in the clip is fired? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Star Arms 2,047 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Awesome. Thanks, man. So the BHO holds the bolt open after the last round in the clip is fired? Well, that depends. The Saiga BHO is manual, so you have to push up on the tab in order to engage the BHO. It doesn't engage automatically. It's handy on an S12 because the gun is easier to load the mag with the bolt open. On a 7.62, it shouldn't make any difference. Some ranges require the bolt to be open when the range is cold, or for other reasons -- so it may be handy for that purpose. WS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dave 1 Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Thanks for the info! I'll probably see how the conversion goes and then decide on the BHO. I'm getting really excited about my new saiga! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
