awesomebill 0 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Ok, I got a second hand s308 16" gun with a texas weapon systems gen2 dog leg rail unit already installed. I'm wanting to move the rail to another AK and go back to a standard dustcover on this s308. What I'm trying to figure out is if the s308 uses the same or different recoil spring than other saigas. I know about the little metal "buffer" on the s308 models, but I'm wondering about the spring itself. Reason being, If i can just get a replacement recoil assembly for the s308, i'll just move the one from this gun with the dog leg rail as a unit, and put a replacement one in the s308. Will keep me from having to remove springs and re-assemble them. I tried searching, but no luck. Sure I missed the info somewhere. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Ive run with a x39 AK spring installed just to see and yes it works although the 308 spring "seemed" slightly stiffer. But hey it works. I also know a blackjack buffer can replace that metal plate just fine. Now if I could find a bolt... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
