OK, trigger plate off, and bottom of receiver cleaned and sanded. Then two coats of Rustoleum semi-gloss black. It is an identical match to Saiga factory paint. Somehow I ended up with an extra Saiga trigger guard in my stuff, so I am leaving the trigger guard on the bottom plate, as I could feasably restore it to "factory" if need be...
I now have the triggerguard mounted. Essentially its a Russian AK103 barreled receiver now, LOL! I thought of putting a 24mm FSB on it, but I really like the short, compact TriDelta brake I put on after I cut back the shroud and threaded the barrel.
Waiting on Bulgarian wood stock set and and handguard retainer. Everything else is ready to go.
My 922R parts (so I can run it featureless with my Munkieboi grip and my mags left over from my 1990 RAW Poly-tech AK I had until 2000)
Tapco G2 single hook FCG- 3 US parts
Weapon Tech BHO and Tapco Followers - 1 part (a Tula Bakelite 30 with a Weapons Tech BHO folower is pretty neat!)
Tapco pistol grip (under the grip wrap) - 1 part
Custom Muzzle Brakes "Tactical Tri-Delta Comp" - 1 part.
That makes my count good, but if I need one more, I have a Tapco stainless gas piston, also.
