T1gger 3 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 So I'm watching a video on changing the trigger group, and I notice the screw that has to be taken out for the handguard on the stock Saiga (7.62). How am I going to go about putting in a lower handguard from an AK-74 (mine's a 5.45) when I don't see anywhere for that particular screw to go? Thanks fellas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 That's no easy basic job like putting in a trigger. I don't think there are any videos that will teach you how. Most people read through the many threads on the forum about Saiga conversions. That's how I learned. There are parts you will need to buy, and machine work that needs to be done.

I know about modifying a lower handguard retainer and what-not. I was just wondering if I was going to need to use that screw area from the original, but i don't think that I will.

dmk0210 10 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) The regular AK handguard is held in place by the handguard retainer at the front. No screw is required at the rear. Now, getting the retainer at the front to work, that's the trick. Edited February 24, 2010 by dmk0210 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
