Trigger Treatment and Trigger Guard Mods

[Spence 0]

I am still relatively new to the board and I am planning the conversion for my S-12. I know how I want to do most of it with the exception of the trigger guard itself. I have seen several different solutions pictured on the site as well as discussed in several of the "How-To" stickies. I am interested in finding as true a restoration to the original design intent, but I have seen so many treatments that I do not know what original would look like.

 

Would anyone be interested in contributing to this thread with a picture of their favorite trigger guard treatment? I was thinking a pic and a brief description of how to achieve.

 

I started to pirate some pics and post as a starter, but I did not want to disrespect the work any have submitted by doing so.

 

 

Hats off to all the contributors on here. Great work - one and all.

This kit is the closest you can get to an authentic AK TG, as well as what they use on the Russian S-12s with PGs.

I just recycled the Saiga factory trigger guard. I removed it, reversed it and TIG welded it in place. I like the look, and can't complain about the price (free):

 

 

 

Oh, and when you are removing the trigger guard, cut it behind the safety stop and leave the safety stop itself riveted to the receiver so you don't have to install a new one:

Go ahead and pirate all the pictures you want - it's a form of flattery to most people. And if you are worried about pissing someone off, well, don't worry about it because you will piss them off without even trying anyway.

+1, that is what I did, except for the tig weld part. why pay for another trigger guard when you have one that is perectly functional
