I am halfway trough with my saiga 308 conversion thanks to much help from you folks and the previous posts by some others. I have replaced the fcg with Arsenal 2 stage which i had to modify by drilling out the hole in the disconnector to allow the old disconnector spring to fit.(these parts are hard.it took a 3/16 carbide masonary bit and a drill press to enlarge the hole) then had to shorten the disconnector spring by 1/8 inch, then had to dremel out the seat for the spring in the triger/sear.(hard also took a while and 2 bits).Also had to grind a spur off the front side of the hammer to clear a support in the reciever. Now that all the parts are in everything seems to be in working order except i notice that when the trigger is pulled, the pin that goes through the assembly holding in place rotates inside the reciever . This means that the trigger assembly does not pivot on the pin but rather the pin itself pivots in the reciever. This is due to the fact that the trigger assembly fits tighter on that pin than the pin itself fits inside the holes in the reiciever. I am wandering since this is the first one ive delt with is this supposed to happen? Or do i need to polish down the pin where the trigger fits or should i shorten the spring some more? the sharing of anyones experience would be most helpful and thank you in advance.
