sonofliberty 6 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) Okay guys I have two questions. #1 My Saiga is a 7.62x39 2008 model with no dimples and a pistol grip hole already in it. I am hoping that my barrel is already threaded under the FSB sleeve but I would like to know for sure before cutting. Anybody know with any certainty? #2 My trunnion is one of the flat varieties with a hole already drilled for the bullet guide. I can't tell if it is threaded or not but the Dinzag instructions indicate that it probably is. Does anyone have any idea what size screw I should get? I got the wrong one from Dinzag (nobody's fuck up but my own) and it is too small. I don't want to mess with mail ordering a new one if I can just pick one up at the hardware store but I don't know what size to get. Thanks for your help guys.

stnls1911 55 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I have an '08 model with PG hole, AK handguard slots (just need a retainer), but I can't remember if I have a chamber step. If you cut your shroud let me know if you have factory threads. I don't recall reading about '08 models with factory threads, but I may be mistaken. For the bullet guide, get you a #6-32 1/2 inch long button head screw. Use a locknut on the bottom of the trunion. The guy that I got to do mine did a bad job on the threads. I think the hole is off-center as well, but I haven't had any problems with this setup yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hutchsaiga 93 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 (edited) I do not believe there is anyway to be certain without cutting the FSB all of these rifles are different. Pick up a few sizes at the hardware store. They are cheap enough. Is the rifle new?or used? I don't think izhmash drills any holes in the trunnion for bg's. Make sure you check for quality threads or put a nut on it. Edited January 3, 2011 by hutchsaiga Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigChongus 765 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 You could just rivet it in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imarangemaster 315 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Stick your fingernail between the shroud and the edge of the muzzle at different places around the crown. The threaded ones you can just catch the nail on the beginning of the threads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Make sure you check for quality threads or put a nut on it. Come to think of it I did buy the rifle used. I feel like a dumbass for not considering this before but I bet the previous owner tried to install a bullet guide. Looks like I might be riveting over some asshole's mistake. Thanks for all the help guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
