soren57 1 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Well i just finished converting my sisters Saiga .223. Now im gona work on my Saiga 7.62x39,so i have been looking around and i gota say this is a pretty dam cheap U.S. made FCG ,thing is does anyone have any experience with this trigger,the price is pretty tempting and does count as 3 U.S. made parts. http://akpartskits.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_12&products_id=617 Or should i just go with a Tapco G2 thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TARE 47 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 That seems questionable, to me, I use the G2 in a couple guns and think its nice, thats what I thought was the base trigger group to use. Wait though to hear from someone who might have used the group in question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fallschirmjager667 729 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 that's the century fcg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
soren57 1 Posted October 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Really? I though all the century akm style rifles use the tapco g2 ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
josey88 21 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 (edited) Get the Tapco G2 from Carolina Shooters supply , single hook . If you are going to keep the BHO lever , they also sell it already adapted , for the same money . Edited October 22, 2011 by josey88 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hutchsaiga 93 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I've had no problems with my tapco g2 for the price. Just get the G2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Foxtail207 23 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 $15 sounds cheap, but I saw a set somewhere on the net for $9.98, not sure where now. I used the standard G2 from CSS, and I ground the side for the BHO space... saved some money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sidewinder11 7 Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Get the G2 after all this is what makes your gun go boom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Relsom 1 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'm getting ready to assemble my 223 (paint drying) and ordered the Tromix modified G2 from CSS. You'd think that it would have had the hammer's bolt contact surface profiled and ready to go. I may use the stock hammer instead. Bad Idea? G2 bulgy face not an issue?

sidewinder11 7 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 bad idea you will reduce your 922 parts by 1 After use it will get smoother Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Relsom 1 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I read you on the 922 issue. Got that covered either way and I'd rather use the G2 if I can. What about potential damage to the bolt during this so called wear in period. Any merit to that or is it overblown? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sidewinder11 7 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 no merit, overblown its an AK.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Relsom 1 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Well ok then. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sidewinder11 7 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Sure thing Any update? Did you get it together? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Relsom 1 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Oh, yeah. I used the G2 and all is well. For a while there I was fighting with the tapco pin retaining plate. The hole for the safety pin would not line up no matter what. I wound up using the Tromix shepherds crook. Shot it over the weekend without any issues. Thanks again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 It's not overblown. You put a stock G-2 in an AK or Saiga, especially if it happens to be an S-12, and the bolt carrier gets held up by the fat hammer unless it's re-profiled. The polishing makes it smooth so the carrier isn't scraped up. Do as you wish though.... until you handle a weapon that's really smooth operating, you have no idea.

pjj342 632 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) Cobra is absolutely right. I use a double hook texas ak FCG (which came from him) and I love it. But when I put it in during my conversion, the hammer sat way too high. So I patiently filed it down until it worked , and my carrier moved over my hammer a bit stiffer than the factory FCG, but worked very well and completely did away with the carrier slap I had. I polished it and never messed with it again. So, dont be afraid of a file and polishing wheel, just take your time. I dont think alot of the FCGs you buy will be a perfect fit(unless stated modified for the saiga), since the saiga rifle uses an ak74 carrier, and the FCGs are for a 47.

Relsom 1 Posted December 11, 2011 Report Share Posted December 11, 2011 I'm using the Tromix modified G2 from CSS. I don't think their modification addresses the hammer's striking face at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
soren57 1 Posted December 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 well guys,its been while but i bought both the akpartskits 15$ trigger and tapco G2 and i gota say its okay but the G2 is way better. The 15$ trigger is 922r compliant,but it gave me "trigger slap". Next day i just installed the G2 and no trigger slap and i like the trigger pull. Gets me thinking,for my next conversion should i go with red star trigger/hammer? Any ways thats talk for later im currently working on a saiga .223 bullpup. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
