Zsolt67 0 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hello all, I have had a .223 for about a year and bought a Tapco intrafuse stock set for it but after getting ready to install the set something doesnt look right. I think the trigger has been moved up on my gun. I purchased it from a friend of my girlfriends that we dont have contact with anymore and I do not have the background of his mods to the gun. I am posting a pic see if you guys can tell. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
canoecanoe 63 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Your rifle has been at least partially converted/restored by have the trigger group moved forward. I'm not that familiar with the T6, but it may be designed for a rifle that has not had the trigger group moved. Your best bet is to go with a "traditional" pistol grip and buttstock. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AE86FL 6 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) From the picture, your saiga 223 has been converted and restored back to the AK configuration. You really need the T6 stock for regular AK (not for Saiga ). I am not sure if you can remove the pistol grip from your current T6 stock just using the stock. Other with T6 stock experience maybe able to help. Edited May 28, 2012 by AE86FL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian M1 50 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) At first I thought it was installed incorrectly, but now I see it just looks to have a weird bend. Hmm. I'd just order a new premade guard from CSS or somewhere and call it a day. They are very cheap and easy enough to install. Edited May 28, 2012 by Brian M1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brian M1 50 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 CSS has many options for trigger guards. Billet, steel, angled, round, etc. They're listed under "triggers/guards". Here's a quick link: http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-TRIGGERS-dsh-TRIGGERS-GUARDS/Categories Quote Link to post Share on other sites
canoecanoe 63 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) It looks like the one who converted it reused the factory trigger guard. I do this on all of my conversions. I like it beter than the "store bought" ones. Edited May 30, 2012 by canoecanoe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pyzik 597 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Okay, looks like you have somewhat of an answer here but I want to add a few things. I agree with canoecanoe, looks like the original trigger guard was re-used. Mine is this way also, nothing wrong with it and the bolt and nut is hidden with the pistol grip. If you bought this... That stock/PG combo is for an UN-converted saiga. You don't want to use this as yours has been converted. (hopefully you can return it or sell it) If you are looking for something similar to the T6, just buy a Saw pistol grip and a stock like this... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pyzik 597 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Out of what I have used, I like the Hogue grip so far. I've used the standard grip (like you have in your pic), the Saw grip and a Galil grip but none of those felt right. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So I want a AK type not a Saiga correct?http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-292/Hogue-AK47-Saiga-monogrip/Detail Edited May 29, 2012 by Zsolt67 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pyzik 597 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 You are correct. The rear of your rifle is no longer Saiga-fied and will accept standard AK pistol grips and stocks (for stamped receivers). If you are going to replace the front handguard, you will need to buy specific Saiga furniture since the front of your rifle is not converted. If you want to use standard AK front handguards you will need to purchase a lower handguard retaining bracket and install it (easy). http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-460/Saiga-Lower-Hand-guard/Detail Then your rifle will be able to accept standard AK front handguards (though, a standard gas tube will need some modding).

themadhatter196 18 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I have a rounded trigger guard from a conversion that I am not using and can get rid of for cheap it is this one http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-365/Saiga-Trigger-Guard-DIY/Detail PM me if your interested. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SgtRaven 531 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) Speaking of spares and leftovers... Are you planning to fill up the original trigger group (FCG) pin holes? I have plastic plugs I used before installing the receiver adapter for my folder. You can have them for free: I'll just slip them into regular envelope, or send me self-addressed and stamped bubble envelope if care about more protection. Send me PM if interested. P.S. Maybe we should start "leftover and surplus" thread with"free to good shooters" stuff listed? Edited May 30, 2012 by Sgt. Raven 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

captzeno 5 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 Just a little "heads up". Check the three parts of the fire control group (FCG) trigger, hammer and disconnector and make sure that they are marked USA. Your rifle looks to be converted to a minimum of US parts count per 922r. The buttstock looks to be an Arsenal stock and should also have USA on it. This will keep you legal unless you use US made mags only as they will make up three of the required parts listed, body, follower and floorplate and offset the FCG.

liberty -r- death 1,445 Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Lookin good. You may find that the scope mounted to the dust cover may not keep zero very well. The dust covers tend to move around. Food for thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
