Saiga with Thumb Hole Stock


Recommended Posts

So you are saying that not even the saiga with thumbhole stock is not imported?

 

example this photo is the one

 

thanks

P.S When you get a gunsmith involved, the price is very very highpost-803-1139276587_thumb.jpg

 

 

If you look at that picture you will notice that the trigger is in the normal AK position, Not the sporter position ours come in. So if you want that stock you will have to convert it. The conversion process is not difficult all you need is a drill and a dremel and basic mechanical ability. No need to pay a smith to do it.

 

Heres my Drag Saiga:

Hi Stu'

Please go to the section labled FAQ in the shotguns forum. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=2042

 

Also check out the "tech section" in the "Guestbook" forum. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=8856

 

There you will find answers to all your questions and some you didn't know you had. Spend a little while there and you will learn a lot. Then if you have any further questions feel free to ask.

No stupid questions, only stupid people who are afraid to ask.

 

You need to purchase a new US made FCG. Most of us use the Tapco G-2. It comes in single and double hook. Get the single hook and it will drop right in with only slight modification.

Hi Guys

 

With this conversion to put the trigger forward, Do we need to purchase a special hammer, disconnector & trigger for this saiga?

 

or Can I use the same Trigger, Hammer & Disconnector?????

 

thanks

 

Stu needs help

Most folks replace the FCG with a US-made one, for 922r compliance (counts as 3 US parts) and better quality, often the Tapco G2 single hook trigger group which is readily available. There are other US made FCG's also. :up:

Hi Guy

 

What I'm trying to workout, is the reasons why you are changing the trigger, hammer ect because the law within american states that you must follow the 922r compliance ?

 

 

Do you agree with this statement below

You need to change the parts to ( AK G2 Single Hook Trigger Group ) to make this saiga rifle work?

 

thanks

OK I gotcha. If you are not in the US and don't have to comply with 922R then yes you can probably use your Saiga hammer but I would not want to mix parts in an FCG. The problem is with the factory Saiga trigger there is a separate part or two that a normal AK trigger does not have. Unlike a normal AK trigger where the trigger itself is part of the hook that catches the hammer and holds the disconnector, the Saiga trigger is on a separate axis and is connected to the rest of the assy. by a transfer bar that looks like a wishbone or fork. So you would still need to buy a regular trigger because the one in your saiga looks like a regular one that has had the actual trigger cut off the bottom.

If you want a drag stock then you have to do the same conversion as you would to just put a PG on there. If you are not worried about compliance you could get a regular AK FCG cheaper than a Tapco G-2 or FSE, etc but you should get a complete FCG of some kind. The G-2 is a very nice improvement over the regular AK FCG. It has a smooth light pull, breaks crisp, and you wont have to worry about the trigger slap that comes with some AK FCGs. It also has a convenient sleeve that keeps the trigger, disconnector, and spring asembled as one unit so it's easy to take out and put back in.
