IMHO, the smith is being conscientious. I'd provide him with the stock if you have one picked out. Ak's aren't all exactly built to the same standard. Sometimes you have to do a bit of fitting on components. It just sounds like he's trying to make sure his work satisfies the customer and covers his butt.

More specifically, I'd provide him with the rear trunion you plan on using (if you hadn't already). The only thing he needs to worry about is the trunnion fitting.
Perhaps he's concerned about the front of the buttstock filling in the deadspace behind the FCG. |

I did give him the rear trunion from a S12. I just figured there was a basic standard, but I'm no gun smith. I'll bring him the stock. Thanks!

How did you retain the recoil assembly without a trunnion? also, the carrier would pop up out of the rails under fire without a trunnion and recoil assembly to retain it. I think you are trying to say the tang was cut off and you want one welded back onto what remains of the trunnion, correct? Or, do you want the tangless trunnion removed and another installed.
If the guy doesn't have at least one saiga 12 or AK stock of some kind laying around then it sounds like he probably knows very little about the platform. I am very interested in seeing what a shit sandwich this turns into

The one in there was cut and welded. The back of the receiver was welded so the Ace side folder could be added.

Why would anyone remove rivets on a trunion that gets cut and welded? This was done just like every other S12 conversion done to fit a Ace stock.
All of that is irrelevant anyways. A factory S12 trunnion is being reinstalled. |

Do the old trunnion holes exist? Use those with an AKM rear trunnion. No holes? Slide in the trunnion, close top cover, and adjust fwd / back so the top cover sits in the groove where it's supposed to. AKs are not precision, minus headspace.

You smith doesn't know Saiga's at all. He's just afraid to turn away business and will do a cut and paste job.
There's a Saiga FB group I'm a member of and I'm sure you will get the correct answers if you join and post pics. |

A factory S12 trunnion is being reinstalled. When it was done the rear trunnion was removed and the back of the receiver welded up for a Ace side folder. I decided I wanted the rear trunnion put back in. You said the trunnion was removed. If the trunnion was removed, then the rivets were removed. Apparently you meant the tang was cut off. |
