Bside 0 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Hello everyone. My Saiga 7.62 is being delivered today, and I would love to have some feedback on the parts I'm planning to use for my conversion. All links are to sponsor websites. This is ok, right? Trigger: Arsenal 2-Stage FCG Spring: JTE Performance Power Hammer Spring Bullet guide: not sure until I see the rifle? Stock: ACE SKELETON 8.5" + CHEEK REST FOR ACE SKELTON STOCKS Folding mechanism: Is there a combo Trunnion and folding mechanism? It would make sense but I can't find one. (something like this plus this) Retaining plate Retaining Spring Trigger guard Pistol grip + AK PG Nut & Screw, Drills, Hex Key & Hole Plugs UTG quad rail (any feedback on this in particular?)

sidewinder11 7 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Trigger: Arsenal 2-Stage FCG Tapco G2 is easier to install and works well Spring: JTE Performance Power Hammer Spring Not sure why you need this Bullet guide: not sure until I see the rifle? Stock: ACE SKELETON 8.5" + CHEEK REST FOR ACE SKELTON STOCKS Sure if you like it Folding mechanism: Is there a combo Trunnion and folding mechanism? It would make sense but I can't find one. (something like this plus this) Retaining plate Get a red star from AK Builder Retaining Spring Don't need Trigger guard Reuse your old one Pistol grip + AK PG Nut & Screw, Drills, Hex Key & Hole Plugs Get the grip, PG nut and screw all others are at home depot of lowes UTG quad rail (any feedback on this in particular?) Heh if you like it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dust feeder 2 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I agree with war hammer on all. I'm not ure which retaining plate I used but regardless of which brand you don't need the retaining spring spring if u get the retaining plate. Save your $ or spend it on ammo, not thie little unnecessary stuff like a new trigger guard... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TARE 47 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 (edited) Hello everyone. My Saiga 7.62 is being delivered today, and I would love to have some feedback on the parts I'm planning to use for my conversion. All links are to sponsor websites. This is ok, right? Trigger: Arsenal 2-Stage FCG Have it on an AK74 and I like it, but not sure if i prefer it to a G2, depends if you want a double stage, the majority of AKMs are single stage Spring: JTE Performance Power Hammer Spring Don't need this but some prefer it; myself I'll wait until I see a problem with the factory spring Bullet guide: not sure until I see the rifle? Stock: ACE SKELETON 8.5" + CHEEK REST FOR ACE SKELTON STOCKS I have this stock and liked it a lot, I would recommend it the cheek rest is sometimes needed, other times paracord may suffice. Folding mechanism: Is there a combo Trunnion and folding mechanism? It would make sense but I can't find one. (something like this plus this) I used the CSS receiver block and ace folder that required the tang to be removed, external block are typically frowned on as they are aesthetically unappealing to most. If you go the block route that requires you remove the tang just be sure you wont want it back later. Retaining plate You can do without, but is often a suggested upgrade for cheap Retaining Spring Covered when you got the plate Trigger guard I do suggest a bolt on if you aren't handy with rivets a welder or just like the look of the offerings, really most work fine including the one you remove. Pistol grip + AK PG Nut & Screw, Drills, Hex Key & Hole Plugs I like the Hogue grip although I feel the standard grip is stronger as the bolt runs the entire length whereas the hogue grip has a short bolt that relies more on the polymer strength without reinfocement from the bolt itself. UTG quad rail (any feedback on this in particular?) I run the Chaos quad and love it and suggest you look into that and rails in general more; I will say a top and bottom rail are all you need, and one that doesn't clamp on the barrel which would effect reliability.

vulcan16 971 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 The UTG quad rail works great on all four of my Saiga Rifles as well as my S12. The problem with the UTG were on the S12's which many owners were over torquing, and causing a binding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bside 0 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Thank you all for your input. has anyone tried to install an AK-007 RFS or BFS? are they worth the extra cost vs the ace? What is the installation like? also, midwest industries has a hand guard that comes with a built-in aimpoint mount (ML2 MI-AKH-ML2), anybody try that? How is the zero retention?

I don't have one but I've heard the Midwest industries with us palm optic mount is very sturdy and holds zero well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imarangemaster 315 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 My favorite AK FCG is a "Texas AK" double hook. Smoother than a Tapco, and crisp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The JT spring is great, like the pull a lot better than factory I wound up just purchasing a conversion kit from CSS came with the tapco G2 modified trigger, guard, buttstock, pistol grip and everything. Nice complete kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
