BuzzSaw 0 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 What are the benefits of using an FCG retaining plate? I am starting to do my conversion and am curious if this will help make it any easier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
L5K 162 Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 I use the plate in both my AK's. Get one and throw that wire retainer away. The plate drops right in to place and is so much easier if you ever decide to remove your fcg for any reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jdmakersmark 15 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I used one with my conversion. The plate keeps the pins from backing out. Seems solid and reliable to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I appreciate it! One more question. Does it hold the FCG retaining pins in? yes, that's what it's design to do, hold the pins in. I made my own, instead of buying it. not all that sophisticated or complicated to make.

Thanks! +1 to what everyone else said. I dropped one in on my 7.62...made life easy and no complaints many rounds later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devrussell 1 Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 I had to grind mine to fit my s-308. Now that it fits, it doesn't retain very well... Unfortunately, the original spring is long gone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
