I just converted my Saiga .308 to a PG configuration and when I tryed to install G2 FCG,
the old disconnect spring won't fit.  Has this happened to anyone else?  I was jus wondering
if there was a reason why the original disconnect spring was oversized.  Any help/insight would
be appreciated.  I really want to finish this project and get to the range.  Thanx.

You need to change it to a regular AK disconnector spring.  The Saiga 308 spring won't work
(as you've found out).  Check here for a replacement:

Thanx.  I just found one left over from my SAR-1.

New information.....

As I have just found out, the old trigger had longer bars to engage the safety safely...follow?

The new G2 trigger bars are a tad bit shorter.  I thing I'll need to buy a new safety.  Can the
angle be changed on my original safety to be able to engage trigger bars for a greater
distance??

Has anyone encountered this problem?  The safety will engage but only for a small amount
of distance from the "S".  Very dangerous.

I'm learning quite a bit from this little project....

I installed the default disconnector spring by drilling out the G2 disconnector and trigger.  You then trim a bit off the spring and it works.

I ran into the exact same problem with the saftey.  Since my conversion isn't complete yet, I'm planning to have a weld built up on the right/bottom of the saftey where it engages the trigger.  1/8" lengthening of the saftey should do fine and being a weld it's permanent solution.

I had a standard AK safety sitting around, and used it. It works fine.
