t165 30 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 +1 on the Tapco G2. My first experience with the Tapco trigger was on a Romanian WASR I bought as a knock around gun. It was the best trigger of any of my kalashnikovs at the time. My Arsenal SGL-31 is the last remaining AK that does not wear this popular trigger group. For the record I like the Tapco G2 better than the Arsenal trigger. And I installed a Dinzag BG on my converted Saiga 5.45x39 before I ever fired it. My Arsenal SGL-31 came with a BG and I believe the russian military installs them on their military issue weapons so there must be a reason for it. Still, many Saiga 5.45x39 owners say their converted units work fine without one. I wish I had tested mine prior to installing the BG just out of curiosity's sake.

baraban7.62 20 Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 will an Arsenal trigger work fine for other non-saiga rifles, for instance Draco? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sidewinder11 7 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 yup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baraban7.62 20 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 so what is it about saiga? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sidewinder11 7 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 maybe I miss understood the intent of your question. Can you use it yes will it work fine yes will it work as good as a G2 no in my opinion. I have a Arsenal in a Romy G I built and it sucks and will be replaced with a G2 shortly. My 2cents get a G2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baraban7.62 20 Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 the thing is i traded my Arsenal trigger that was vibrating in my saiga for my friends G2 that he pulled out of his Draco, will his Draco vibrate like a dildo too with that trigger in?

sidewinder11 7 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 perhaps. Try it and see and please post back I'd like to know what happens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GregM1 241 Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 if you look closely at the FCG, you may be able to tell where the carrier is hitting it during the movement. this is your problem area. you could polish that area down and cause less drag. this could be the end of your issue. it may be hitting in more than one spot too.

baraban7.62 20 Posted December 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 At first i thought it was the tail of the dissconector, so i dremelled it off and it still continued, but there were no spots, i checked Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baraban7.62 20 Posted December 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 i welded it on there, its there forever now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitetrashrn 74 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Back to the bullet guide. My right out of the box 5.45 wont feed anything from a Bulgarian 10, 21 or a steel mag I have. Smash Smash Smash The tips hit it flat on the barrel. Bullet guide for my 30 rd mags will be a necessity. OH well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baraban7.62 20 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 my friend's 5.45, that did not require BG whatsoever, started to jam, quiet often after a 1000 rounds or so Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baraban7.62 20 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 and yet again, its malfunctioning, the last round hits the bottom of the barrel, can someone/anyone point me in the right direction, what can i do besides just simply sell it?

don452 2 Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 i have a number of Siaga rifles; a handfull in both 7.62X39 and .223., as well as a couple of .308, but have not yet purchased the Siaga in 5.45X39. Have only had one of my 7.62X39 rifles converted to pistol grip configuration. That rifle does not have a bullet guide. I do however have two Hungarian SA-85 parts kits, that have the chamber ends of the barrels with factory cut outs for the bullet to avoid hitting the chamber end of the barrel while chambering the round and allow the bullet to enter the chamber more easily. The cut outs resemble what one would encounter if one took a very fine dremel rotary cutting head and dremeled out a cut in the chamber end - one of the cuts is fairly shallow and one is actually quite deep. I would think that a similar cut out would work in the intended manner with the 5.45X39 round, especially if one has identified the strike point for the bullet nose on the chamber end. Said cut out out would likely work in the presence of a bullet guide, and for those rifles with BG not yet installed. When I do obtain a Siaga in 5.45X39 I will do that very thing using the Hungarian rifles as a pattern, and see what happens. Will let everyone know how it turns out also, as I would test the rifle with out a BG first, run it a little, and then have a BG put in and see how it performed.

jiffydarren 0 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 You can also grind out the bottom of the chamber opening a bit to make it a small ramp to help. That's what I did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baraban7.62 20 Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I figured i would do that as a last reserve, dont really wanna mess with the barrel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
