Just remember the standard AK type hammer will need to be modifed in order to work properly with the Saiga .308.  The Red Star version for the .308 is a nice adjustable trigger.  There are vendors that sell the modified G2 or Arsenal like Dinzag or Carolina Shooters supply.  Or you  can simply modify it yourself, just duplicate the profiles on the factory hammer.  Grind slowly and keep the hammer cool.

It's real easy.15 minutes doing it,10 or so making it look pretty.I used 2 grinding wheels. Remember if you have to ad a washer to rid of any side to side movement,you'll have to take some material off the side of the hammer that will contact it(I used opposite side of hook).When I installed a washer for the side to side play in mine, I didnt think of this and the bolt would stay stuck open when fired.I had to slap it forward with the palm of my hand. Before grinding it ,when it cycled,everything would bind up where that washer hit at the back side of the hammer. I ground it down a bit and it is perfect.
Good luck on yours

It is just an ace skeleton stock

I modified the folding block so the larger part would bolt to the receiver and not the stock,  turned out pretty nice now I just need to flip the charging handle and I will be all set.

Very nice!!

What kind of adapter did you use to get the front hang guards on??

I just bought another one and want to go with the traditional ones like this.

Adapter is from Carolina Shooters Supply works awesome if using wasr hand guard u must removed a lot of the inside of it to clear the bigger barrel and rear trunion
