saltydecimator 482 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I see your 20 rd and raise you 20 Notice white sn front left 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NM0 586 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Picked mine up from the FFL last night. SN is on front left too. Fit and finish on this thing is very nice. Once the shop heats up today I will give it a good cleaning, it's leaking all over the place. Should be able to try it out in next couple days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
semper299 284 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Maybe a dumb question, but any problem with changing out the stock trigger on these with a G2 trigger? Bout the only thing I like from Tapco, but IMHO it is a great AK trigger. I got in a little late on this, so I am on the backorder list. Says they will be available in February. At least they are letting us order. At $399, you really can't beat the price. Edited January 6, 2014 by Semper299 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 G2 trigger drops in. At least that's one thing that isn't different on the Yugos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mullet Man 2,114 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) The receiver is already clearance for a double hook (that's what's in it), so if you wanted to go that route. Has a shepherds crook too, the kind that wraps around the center support rivet, under the hammer pin and over the trigger pin. I'm not a fan of them at all, so I replaced it with a Krebs type plate. Had to clearance the safety around the disconnector so it could be removed, to get the plate out. Thread protector comes off easy. I broke an MD Arms pistol grip tightening down. Looks like the Yugo pg nut is a different angle and it stressed the bottom piece of the pistol grip and broke it. Edited January 7, 2014 by Mullet Man 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NM0 586 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Just spent a couple hours cleaning mine. Hard to believe how much orange crud came out. The firing pin was even gunked up. I use Gunzilla and a compressor. Was going to leave the stock pistol grip on it but now I'm thinking of a Hogue like the rest of our AK's. Will eventually replace the shepherds crook too. The plates are easier. So far the pistol seems well built and everything straight. Hope to run it in the next couple days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Don't know about the Hogue but the Ergo grip had to be modified to fit due to the different bolt angle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wish I would have known that before I broke the MD grip. Looks like the stock pistol grip nut is getting axed too, in favor of a standard piece.

Will take one off a rifle and give it a try to see what happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LuPiN8oR 333 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I think with mine the sling plate took out any difference in bolt angle with the grip. Got the red dot mounted, just gotta wait for a day when its not 2° to go zero. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JESS1344 508 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 GUYS, THE HOGUES NEED TO HAVE THE HOLE OVALED-OUT, ABOUT 1/4", IN THE DIRECTION OF THE MUZZLE. I POINTED THIS OUT TO MR. HOGUE HISSELF AT THE NRA SHOW IN HOUSTON LAST YEAR. HE SEEMED TO BE UNAWARE OF THE MISALIGNMENT PROBLEM. THE HOGUES ALSO WON'T FIT MY MILLED POLISH M1960 AT ALL, DUE TO A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT HANGER STRUCTURE FOR THE PISTOL GRIP. DON'T KNOW IF THIS APPLIES TO ALL MILLED RECIEVERS.

Mullet Man 2,114 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) So, I was looking at the rear sight on this m92....thinking to myself how pathetic it is. Then I remembered that I had a few AR15 (m16 a1) windage adjustable and flipable rear peep sight assemblies.. http://media.midwayusa.com/productimages/880x660/Primary/584/584981.jpg So lining things up and eyeballing everything, it looks like it would be feaseable. Drift old sight pin out, weld up old holes, measure and drill new holes and install. Only thing I see being difficult is retaining the leaf spring (ideas?). And does anyone know what the small coil spring is for, in the a1 kit?

NM0 586 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Did some research and read this post from earlier in the year. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/87443-m92pv-pap-pistol-grip-problem/ Will try one on the PAP tomorrow and see how much modification is required.

Thread here has some info.... http://www.sksboards.com/smf/index.php?topic=16767.0 I also did an eyeball test with an AR aperture I have laying around.. Personally I don't think it would be a better setup due to the distance from the eye at which the sight base sits, only the large aperture would work very well. The small spring is for the bullet-tip detent pin on the windage adjustment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NM0 586 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 The M92 is only a couple inches longer than my Mini Draco. The end of barrel (not flash hider) is at the end of the PAP hand guard. If everything goes well I will try her out tomorrow. Then order some parts. Hey saltydecimator I see your 40rd and raise you 75...LOL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But with a butt stock installed (legally of course, with permanent muzzle extension), it should be decent. Plus enlarging the apertures would be easy to do, if needed.

The end of barrel (not flash hider) is at the end of the PAP hand guard. Wow, that's not much at all. Now that these are scraping the low-$400/high-$300 range, I no longer regret passing up the $350 Draco (standard one) my LGS had.

NM0 586 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Hey Darth did you attempt to smooth your stock FCG before replacing with the Tapco? I did decent groupings with a crunchy then break trigger. Apparently the G2's in my Saigas have me spoiled. Will try some dremil polishing tomorrow but thinking of just replacing.

Never had any desire to pick up a regular Draco due to its size. The M92 is not that big and shoots surprisingly well. Looks like J&G has the 399 deal still going even with backorder. Bud's went up to 453. Also J&G honored their 299 Saiga backorder without any issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mullet Man 2,114 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I'm putting plum furniture on mine. Fitted a KVAR 74 lower hg on it last night. Going to order a plum izzy grip and m92 hand guards from Ronin. Hoping the plum matches the KVAR lower. If not, I'll just use both from him. If the colors are close, I might end up nodding an ak lower retainer and installing it, so the KVAR lower fits better. Plum furniture, ak builder extension and a triangle folder is the ultimate goal.

mancat 2,368 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I would think someone could make a little tension-sprung ring insert that could help hold a standard AK LHG in place without having to change the circular front retainer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
