bigghoss 2 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hey guys I was planning to do a conversion to my saiga .308 this weekend so I ordered the parts and I had ordered an internal stock adapter from CSS specific to saiga rifles that uses the rivet holes in the lower rear of the receiver. well I was looking at my rifle and I realized that it does not have those two rivets. now I have to send the block back. also while looking at this I noticed the plate that needs to be removed runs under the mag catch, which is not something I've noticed watching conversions on youtube. not a huge deal because I can carefully trim it behind the catch. is this how all .308 saigas are? are there any instructions specific to the .308 so I don't waste more time and money? will the ace internal block work in my rifle? I was really looking forward to getting this done but it looks like I'll have to put it off for a couple weeks while I get this all sorted out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
schultze13 354 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) you should still be able to use the block, the first ones didnt have the 4 screws on the sides it only used the single tang screw so it will still work. Is the gun already converted or are you doing it? Edited June 17, 2011 by SCHULTZE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigghoss 2 Posted June 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) I have not started the conversion yet. I'm not sure I trust the single tang screw to hold it. the ace block uses a tang screw and uses the pistol grip nut to hold the block in so that would be a better way to go IMHO. I would like to be able to take this rifle to a class or two and really beat on it without any trouble. CSS will give me full credit on an exchange so I was going to send it back and get the folding mechanism that I didn't order the first time. upon closer inspection with a flashlight I was wrong about the receiver plate going under the mag catch. that's a relief. when I get this all straight and I actually do my conversion I'll be taking lots of pics and video and try to put together as detailed a walk-through as I'm able that is specific to the .308 Edited June 17, 2011 by bigghoss Quote Link to post Share on other sites
schultze13 354 Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 I just picked up my first S-308 the other day and didn't notice there are no trigger holes like on the other saigas the FCG is alot different than the shotguns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigghoss 2 Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 yup. I've never seen .308-specific instructions so I ordered stuff based on vids and whatnot for the x39/.223 rifles not knowing there was a difference in the triggers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
