No lower tang, stock wobble, help.


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

 

Posted this in the .308 as well but since it affects both my Saiga's and the Saiga 12 is far more popular I decided to post it here as well:

 

OK, so my problem is this: I have two converted Saiga's, a .308 and a 12. I did not do the conversions personally ... I noticed recently that my stocks have some wobble to them after firing ... usually just tighten up the screws. Then when I was looking at it I realized to try and figure out why it kept happening I realized there was no rear tang ... well, lo and behold I watched a conversion video on-line and realized that the rear lower tang is attached to the stock trigger guard. WTF? What is the fix for this? Try to find a machinist to spot weld that piece back on? Or something simpler that I am overlooking? Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated. The wobble is driving me nuts.

Had the same problem. I just bolted a metal strap on using the existing hole. Drilled holes and shaped as needed. Works well. Good luck, Castalia

 

Where did you get that metal strap, out of curiosity? I like your idea and would like to replicate it as close as possible.

Kaelic,

 

I went to the hardware store and bought a piece of 18 guage strap material.

Then I cut a piece off with sheet metal snips and fashioned the strap I made. It is square under the grip and round were the screw goes into the stock. I cut it 1/2" wide and 1 1/2" long. Drilled the holes were they neede to be. Good luck Castalia
