longboardrder 0 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Just started my conversion and am putting everything back in. My question? I bought a tapco g2 trigger, and it seems to work fine but the hammer seems to be to big, to be able to fit the bolt hold open plate and the shepards crook. I remember hearing somewhere that sometimes people have to grind down the side a little. Is this ok to do? Also the hammer that came stock seems to work with the rest of the tapco g2 setup, would it be ok to just use the old one? Thanks guys for the help, this forum is so effin helpful.

romad7 75 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 You should be able to use the old hammer, I have seen a few times on here where some people prefer it (the hammer face is a little different). Compare the two hammers. There should be differences on the BHO side. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corbin 621 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hi, and welcome to the forum. I trust you've already read up on the 922r laws and have enough US made parts replacing the foriegn stuff to be able to retain the original hammer no problem. Having said that, a lot of people prefer the full US fire control group. Removing a little off the right hammer strut is easy enough, assuming you want to keep using the BHO. If your conversion is on a Saiga shotgun, you will have to remove the "hump" on the lower front section of the hammer face as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
romad7 75 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Hammer strut, that's the word I was looking for:-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
longboardrder 0 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Thanks for the info guys, and yes I am aware of 922r compliance but thanks for the reminder. One question when yall say hammer strut are you talking about the top or the the bottom? I have compared the two hammers and the tapco one is considerably wider on both sides on the bottom. So can I take some off there? I have noticed that the tops are different but that doesn't seem to really affect anything. Any input would be great, and thanks again guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

onehappycampster 25 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I would just google "BHO saiga mod" or something like that. Here's a good one. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CnRnut 3 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Take @ .055 off the right side. You want to to smooth the surface real good when done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
onehappycampster 25 Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 A set of calipers is almost necessary. Some can be found for around $20 at just about any big box auto parts and hardware stores. Go slow, measure often and good luck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
