essohbe 47 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) Legally, can I use a Bulgarian military auto trigger in a Saiga build as long as I don't use the forward sear w/ spring and I also have enough domestic other parts putting the rifle in 922r compliance? Secondly, can I use the auto trigger in semi-auto or will it catch on the semi-auto bolt? The way it pivots makes it look like it won't function as a substitute for a semi-suto trigger without the auto-sear and it's spring assembly. I would just get a Tapco trigger but since I have parts laying around, I thought about just sticking the Bulgy auto trigger in (if it could be done) and not paying $30 for the tapco I don't need.

ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) There are few things you definitely don't wanna do, e.g. inlet the right rail for a auto sear, drill that third & special hole and etc. The things that will constitute intent and land you 10 years of warm romantic showers with Leroy & Bubba. But you can, IIRC, DQMOT, have various FA parts in a SA receiver, e.g. FA BC or FA FCG parts (except the auto sear of course.).

protected static 19 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 It also depends upon state law... in WA, your possession of FA parts is considered to be the same as possessing a FA weapon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
L5K 162 Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 As long as you don't have a third hole in your receiver, and/or (not sure which one applies) the cutout in the rail for the uh..other piece....yeah...... then you're fine having the parts and using them in a semi-auto build. I do not know if they will work or how to make them work though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDeere7296 1 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 For $30 I think I would just go ahead and get the tapco trigger........It would be tragic it you did install the auto FCG without the sear and you were still in violation of NFA rules.....or in the very least, even if you weren't in violaion of any NFA rules and you got some agent who doesn't know and gives you a hard time about it. $30 is a small price to pay now instead of the headache and $$$ later to get this cleared up with the gov!

IndyArms 10,186 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 I would go with the TAPCO trigger only because it will COUNT AS A USA made part... one more towards 922 compliance. and... The nicer thing... it will give you a VERY DECENT trigger pull!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
essohbe 47 Posted December 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 I would go with the TAPCO trigger... I did. Lol. Just don't use their retaining plate... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

N4KVE 14 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Actually, the trigger in a semi, or full auto gun are one and the same. The hammer & disco are different in a full auto gun. The hammer on a full auto gun has an extra catch which can easily be ground off. So yes, to save cash, you can use the FCG that came with a kit, & use 922 parts elsewhere.
