crankywanker 7 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hi I am thinking about ordering my conversion kit from CSS. Do you find these conversion kits to be reliable? I will be using #1 as I have a tapco folding stock on my current AK47 and I am really now partial to solid original stocks. Also, should I use Red or Blue Loctite on the Pistol Grip & Trigger Guard Screws? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crankywanker 7 Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I guess I'll be ordering from CSS unless anyone thinks of a better place.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
todmich 16 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 +1 on CSS and remember to check out their videos they will walk you through the conversion. For the type of loctite blue is the one you will need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

todmich 16 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Muzzle breaks depend on what you plan on doing, do you want a choke or just something to look cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
datrowl 111 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 CSS is the place to get your Saiga freak on, and as far as the locktite goes, get both red and blue.... use red on anything you'll never want to take off...trigger guards and such, use blue on items you want on but may one day want to take off, like pistol grips and buttstocks...

Yep.....anything with Red will probably require heat to break free...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Caged_Bird 474 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 CSS offers good quality products along with MAA and TAC-47. I've never used loctite on anything other than engine related projects, on the Saiga, I just tighten the piss out of everything and it holds well... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crankywanker 7 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Dont forget CSS (all caps) for your 5% discount on your parts Thanks Yes I did that. Muzzle breaks depend on what you plan on doing, do you want a choke or just something to look cool. Well If function can be improved I would want that. But I have heard unless you incorporate the muzzle brake mid-barrel it won't function very well on a shotgun. I don't know if this is true. Also, if I am wanting to go with just looking cool I would want to use a Door Breacher type of brake. Edited March 8, 2012 by crankywanker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
todmich 16 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Do a search here on the forum I seem to remember a post rating the muzzle breaks on recoil reduction. Dont quote me on it but I think it was Tromix's monster break that performed the best but it has been awhile since I read that thread and I have drank since then.

sass_kevin 2 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Definately blue loctite. Blue locktite is for smaller bolts with a semi-permanent hold (wont rattle out unless you take it off). I use blue locktite on every bolt on my dirtbikes. Red locktite (not pink) is for a more permanent hold and thesmaller bolts that arent grade 8 have a tendancy of breaking when removing.

crankywanker 7 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I just realized something. Do I need to order the Axis Retaining pins for my new trigger group or can I reuse the ones already in the Saiga 12?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
todmich 16 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 you will just reuse the old ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crankywanker 7 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 what color paint are you guys using for covering the unpainted surfaces? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
todmich 16 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I used high temp rustoleum black, it matched good, but I just did the parts that needed paint, I know some guys duracoat the entire weapon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kodaline 178 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Do not use red locktite on anything below a large grade 8 bolt. Blue is fine. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or a heavy ass and a break-over bar, I use red locktite on my head bolts with my engine builds... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Share Posted March 9, 2012 I use oil on mine! The only thing other than engine oil I ever use on head bolts is thread sealer on wet bolts. Haven't had one come loose, and I built the first one in '64! That one ran 300,000 miles! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
