forsaken352 235 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Was wondering if anybody has a source for specific dimensions on where the pistol grip nut hole is supposed to be located on the .308? I know often times you guys say that "there's plenty of info on conversions...etc.", but not necessarily true (from what I've found) on the .308 platform. At most, I've only ever located perhaps 2 .308 specific conversion videos, and the only one I remember, the guy used a DIY trigger guard with a built in PG nut. I've even tried searching these forums for conversion info specific to the .308, and not too much turns up. Anyways, if anybody has any information, that'd be great and much appreciated, but I ask that you verify the information to be true before posting. Don't want to cut the wrong area. That'd suck. Pictures definitely helpful, too. Thanks a ton! ~Forsaken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sdustin 578 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 have you already removed the bottom plate? my 308 was already cut for a grip nut no cutting needed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forsaken352 235 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Well, I haven't actually got the rifle yet. Should be here today. I'm just trying to get together information in case I need to for when I get ready to convert it. I will probably hold off on the conversion for just a little bit in case anything malfunctions due to factory error and it needs returned, but again, just gathering information. My last .308 did not have the grip hole cut, but I believe it was test fired back in 07, so who knows, they might have started cutting them since then? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaryCS 2 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) If you do need to cut the hole, I think this is what you are looking for: http://www.dinzagarms.com/downloads/saiga_rec_template.jpg Edited July 16, 2014 by GaryCS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forsaken352 235 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Thanks Gary. That's actually the same diagram I used on the 12, but I guess the location isn't any different after all? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boyd Crowder 16 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 You should just buy the trigger guard with integrated pg nut from Dinzag, its 22 bucks and that way you wont have to cut your receiver. Or better yet just get the Dinzag .308 conversion kit and it will be included. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forsaken352 235 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I would, but I'd rather just use a regular PG nut. It's not picky on what length bolts are used, and I feel it'd be more secure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or better yet just get the Dinzag .308 conversion kit and it will be included. This is the route I took with mine, it was very simple and I've changed the grip three times with no problems'. It has the Hogue grip on it right now I highly recommend the Dinzag kit, I've done three conversions with his kits and never had a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forsaken352 235 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Haha! Just got my first look at it. Already has the cut. This will be the easiest conversion ever. The only thing to do beforehand is send some rounds down range, make sure everything's alright, then it's off to the garage with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sdustin 578 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I wouldn't buy anything extra. But I'm also a cheap bastard. I reused the factory trigger guard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forsaken352 235 Posted July 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Hell, you wanna know how cheap I'm about to be? I'm going to rip the G2 group, Hogue grip, and wood stock off my WASR as well as reuse the factory trigger guard until I can afford parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
