bobjaret 0 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hi, my name is jaret, and i just converted my saiga .308. here is what i did... took off the bottom plate on the reciever installed a us made hammer installed a us made trigger group installed a us made stock, and verticle pistol grip re welded on the triger guard installed a usmade forward rail added a forward grip here is a link to the full thread i posted about it. http://www.amarillogunowners.com/index.php?topic=8658.0 what i need to know is this... im not sure what parts the .308 has on the list of import parts. http://www.tapco.com/section922r/ i need to know if currently i am complient, or if i need to change other parts. If i need to change some of the parts, could someone show me an image or part number for that part on here. http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/596/explodedsaiga1206.jpg and possibly link an US alternitive. or perhaps just show the non complient parts on that image... anyway, any help would be extremely helpful as the entire thing is quite confusing.

csspecs 1,987 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 You had 14 imported parts, you replaced 4 and added 1. Congrats you have 10 or fewer imported parts on your rifle, you may go out and play. You'll have 7 or less imported parts with any of the available magazines over 10 rounds (including my steel mags) should you wish to use magazines over 10 rounds.

bobjaret 0 Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 so is the floor plate the plate that i grinded off the bottom of the reciever? what is the Forearm, handguard? also on that list it says that the sear is part of the trigger on ak's, so does that mean i replaced that as well?

mscottrogers 56 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 the floor plate is the bottom of the magazine that hods the spring in and the follower pushes the shells to the top, the forearm is the part you put your front hand on to keep from burning it on the barrel, the sear is the third part that you get when yo buy a US trigger set,( hammer, trigger and sear) it holds the hammer back after the bolt cycles before you release the trigger for the next trigger pull. thats the part that makes it a functioning semi auto Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobjaret 0 Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) thanks dude. so helpful. what about the Trigger housing? if i add a forward grip that is foregn will count against my parts even though i replaced the forearm?

mscottrogers 56 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 yes has to be US parts to count. A magazine is 3 US PARTS. you can recycle the trigger housing by trimming it or replace it with a bolt on. FYI the saftey isn't going to be long enough to keep the trigger from preventing the gun from firing. At least mine wasn't and I've seen posts about others. it just needs to be extended Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobjaret 0 Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) ive alredy arrainged to have dizng fix my safety. it prevents the gun from fireing while engaged, but it will fire when disengaging the safety if you pull the trigger while the safety is engaged. but i dont think my full Q was answered, where is the trigger housing, and if i add a forward grip that is foregn will it count against my parts even though i replaced the forearm?

mscottrogers 56 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Only US parts count against 922r. there is no trigger housing in an AK style weapon. That would also be a trigger pack and HK style weapons have those Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VR762Shooter 838 Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 where is the trigger housing, and if i add a forward grip that is foregn will it count against my parts even though i replaced the forearm? If you have installed a US made forearm, and THEN add an additional vertical hand grip to that, it will not count against you. If you have added a US made forearm and then remove that to replace with a foreign one, it is not in compliance anymore because you have removed a US part with a foreign one. (http://gunwiki.net/Gunwiki/BuildAkVerifyCompliance) from Indy's sticky thread in the 308 main page, keep your eye on these parts, and you will remain compliant Quote Link to post Share on other sites
