BigChongus 765 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 +1! I just got both of mine a few days ago. These are FANTASTIC retainers. I found them by accident,, and I'm really glad I did before I ended up dropping money on a bolt-on retainer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cobravenom39 17 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 So, who is buying the retainer clips that cost $60 now? lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Revolver Ocelot 3 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 does it have the slots on the side for the factory barrel notches? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my762buzz 141 Posted June 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 does it have the slots on the side for the factory barrel notches? No slots. I think the lack of slots is so it can also be used on saigas or any other ak that has no barrel side notches. Most of the older saigas were imported with no notches.

stnls1911 55 Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 (edited) Did you use a rivet or roll-pin 762? What size did you use? I definitely want to pick one of these up. Edited June 6, 2011 by stnls1911 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The hole is 5mm wide and realistically a 25mm long pin is needed. So figure metric M5 x 25mm. You can use a roll pin like shown on the website or a dowel pin (rod). I noticed that a standard AK trigger axis pin is 5mm wide but obviously much longer than 25mm and so I cut and filed an extra one I had to size. It took two minutes with bolt cutters and a file. Finally, a little red loctite at the end and it fits snug. However, you can buy M5x25mm dowel pins from plenty of online tool or hardware sources.

n102788 6 Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I have this item and it is fantastic and very clean looking on the rifle. I just used an Allen head screw that very tight got and I cut Allen wrench I put in the cleaning kit in my buttstock. Highly recommend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stnls1911 55 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Got mine today, very nice fit, and finish. My barrel already has all the handguard notches; putting this on was easier than the other bolt-on retainer I have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
