Get-n-Ready 8 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 So I need to file a tiny bit on the bolt so the F.B handel will fit the bolt carier,it wont go in and I thought I had read this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flatland Shooter 22 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) So I need to file a tiny bit on the bolt so the F.B handel will fit the bolt carier,it wont go in and I thought I had read this. Rule #1 on the Amateur Gunsmith list is "File on the cheapest part (or in this case, the most readily available part) first". Rule #2 is leave that Dremel tool in the box. The Firebird handle took a little fitting to work. I never touched the bolt. Edited August 28, 2013 by Flatland Shooter 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Get-n-Ready 8 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Where about did you file handel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.BlahX3 12 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 T&N charging handle needs to be filed too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Get-n-Ready 8 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I was thinking both were plug n play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Get-n-Ready 8 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Ok, I see where. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cad_man 4 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 If parts don't fit, see FS's rule#1. Keep in mind the QC isn't that great on Akdals, or Saigas for that matter. My T&N handle was a sloppy fit, the pocket for the detent ball is far too large. Had to fill and remachine it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Get-n-Ready 8 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Got it done,fits fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter308 6 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 T&N charging handle needs to be filed too. I never had an issue, installed easily... but, thankfully, quite firmly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Get-n-Ready 8 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 It only took a few strokes of the file to fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
