Dude, just get a Red Star retainer plate. 3 seconds and you're done. Worth every penny.

It looks nothing like the "Sheperd's Hook" I've seen in pictures. It is coiled like a spring at one end. I will have a pic up later.

That's the hammer and trigger pin retainer. The coil on the end powers the auto sear. Get a retainer from RSA or Blackjack Buffers. Or use 7/32 e-clips from the hardware store. I used one of the RSA retainers when I modified my Maadi. On my Romanian build I used the shepards hook from the Maadi as my retainer hadn't arrived from Blackjack and I wanted to shoot the rifle the next day. Actually the shepards hook installed rather easily, so I am going to leave it in. I will use the other retainer in my next build.

Sounds like a Saigia conversion if its a coiled spring long on one end and coiled on the other. I agree buy the retaining plate from Red Star or I think K-var has em too. Good Luck post pics when youre done building.

I bought two of the RSA retainers and the first one snapped as soon as I put it on. The second one is still in the package - the shepards hook is not that hard to do and a lot more reliable.
Don't waste your money on these. |

Clip off the coiled part since you don't have an auto sear to go through it.

You can't use it in it's current configuration since you don't have the third axis pin. Or boy, I hope you dont have that third axis pin
