Forearm cutout for side folder front latch


Recommended Posts

I am finishing up a Saiga 12 front latch install for a Russian polymer side folder. There are some modifications which are required for the forearm. One is a hole for the latch spring and the other is a quarter circle cutout for what I assume is the retaining clip. The first diagram in the attached file shows the hole and cutout dimensions. I am having a tough time visualizing how the retaining clip fits into this cut out. I am also unsure of what depth this cut out needs to be.

 

My question is: Does anyone have pictures of a forearm / handguard that has this modification or can someone explain the need for the cut out?

Let me add some pictures for clarification. As you can see, I already have the rectangular hole for the latch as well as the pin hole in place. The only cutting / drilling left is in the handguard. The retaining clip goes in through the front side of the receiver and has a small tab which will interfere with the handguard. Am curious why the diagram shows the handguard having a quarter circle cut out versus a simple square notch where the clip is located. One of the pictures has the spring hole and cut out marked in pencil on the handguard.

Thanks be to KC913 for the info



also, the very top of the diagram is for the handguard, the two lower decriptions are for the receiver cut outs.
