conncarl 0 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Okay, since hi-cap mags for unmodified IZ-240s seem to be the Holy Grail, and because I already have plenty of AK-74 mags kicking around, I decided to bite the...uh...bullet guide and install one in my Saiga. I bought the complete kit from Dinzag, drilled, tapped, etc. No problems. But I can't start the screw to actually install the BG. I tried the supplied screw plus a 6/32 that I had on hand. No dice. They just behave like the screw is too large for the hole. I've run the tap through many times, right until it bottoms out against the receiver. Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Are the threads on the screw damaged? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
conncarl 0 Posted December 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Are the threads on the screw damaged? They don't seem to be. I tested both the provided screw and the one I had on hand with a nut, they go together just fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IPSC45 8 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 For my flat-bottom trunion Dinzag kit for the 5.45... the screw was sized 8-32. I think the round bottom ( or other 7.62's).... use a 6-32 screw. Check with Brian at Dinzag........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
conncarl 0 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 You're right on the money, IPSC45. Turns out, Dinzag sent me a 6/32 drill and tap with an 8/32 screw. The screw was so small that I didn't pick up on the fact that it was the wrong size.I got tired of waiting to hear back from Brian so I just picked up a stainless 6/32 x 3/8" button head screw and popped it in there with some blue Loctite. Thanks for the replies, guys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
