question about nylon hole plugs

[bruce3 0]

I was reading this conversion tutorial http://www.cross-conn.com/Saiga_Conversion/Step_7.htm and was wondering how people using nylon plugs address spring placement seen on the second to last picture of the link. The guy in the tutorial uses binding post to mount the spring but how is this done if you use nylon plugs?

Just get one of the retainer plates for an AK, or if you really want to, a retainer wire for an AK.

 

This has the added benefit of being removable without screwing around with any pins.

 

I suggest the plate.

I 2nd the plate. Easier to install.

 

Though the more time I spend under the hood, the more appealing a simple shepherd's crook is. You can get one for a few bucks, they just require a bit more finesse to install.

I'll also heartily recommend the plate: now that mine's installed properly, I couldn't be happier. I got the TAPCO plate, it has a little flange at a right angle, making it easier to maneuver inside the receiver. They run about $6 USD.

Yes. use the plate, and get plugs form Dinzag Arms. Look like real rivets, and pop in very tight.
