hectik 0 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 I've recently converted my S12 via the CSS conversion kit with the CSS trigger guard. I have the Tapco saw grip and the holes don't line up with this trigger guard, which is fine since I wanted a more 'natural' feeling grip anyway. I ordered the Hogue Monogrip and it feels great. As far as connecting it to the trigger guard, is there a certain size screw that should be used? I tried the one that came with the grip and it's apparently too big. Which unobservant me didn't realize until damaging the trigger guard a little. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It will not line up with any trigger guard. The hole pattern is different on that grip. The hogue grip's screw hole is set back further than standard AK grips. To use it with any trigger guard you must enlarge the screw hole on the grip towards the front to line up correctly with all Saiga 12 trigger guards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But after playing around with the screw and trigger guard by themselves, it seems as though (my eyeball estimation) the screw that came with the grip is too large to screw in far enough to keep the grip snug. I'll get to enlarging the grip's screw hole and see what happens. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
