ALG Defense AKT trigger
For lack of a better term the retaining pins have that little flare-out on the retaining plate (or retaining spring) side for your retaining device. That oversized pin section of is bottoming-out on the hammer with the BHO in place. The BHO is pushing the hammer toward the opposite retaining device side. When you removed the BHO device the flared out part of the pin may now fully enter the receiver and seat correctly To reinstall the BHO the hammer you need to be “fit” the hammer by grinding a little off both sides of the hammer. You would be taking most of the material off the BHO side of the hammer. It is important that the hammer remains centered up with the firing pin, you do not want it favoring one side or the other. Keep than in mind when grinding. Without the BHO you in place you "could" have more lateral movement than you would like. I ground my hammer and reinstalled the BHO, it just takes a little time and you keep the BHO function Edit: of

ALG Defense AKT trigger
My ALG is breaking at 3.25lbs and the G2 is breaking at 4.5lbs, I can’t tell the difference in the 1+ pound of pull between the Tapco and ALG, maybe Jerry Miculek can but I can’t, to me the real difference is reduced travel (as mentioned above) and the trigger shape itself

How many different caliber firearms do you own
Handguns 9mm 38 Special 357 Mag 44Mag 45ACP Long guns 22LR .223/5.56 7.62x39 7.62x54R 308 Remington 12 Ga Would have liked to have tired 5.45x39 but it never happened. I think that would have been a fun caliber but no current plans to buy a rifle to pursue it

Rehoboth beach DE
If you are looking for another place to eat get back on highway and head south into Ocean City MD and hit Philips Seafood. It’s only about half hour or so from Rehoboth. If you do go just watch your speeds going thru the little towns like Bethany and Fenwick where the posted speeds drops down to 35mph.

Gas piston conversion
Understood, I did the same project a few days in back of yours, IIRC it was the Heatwave of July 2011. I remember it was HOT as hell and it took me 4 hours to Dremel out the trunnion. So for me the piston kit was sort of the same idea, I was in the middle of a build anyway and would have needed to purchase a BCG so for I figured I’d throw another 100 at it and get a piston AR out of the deal. I got the cheaper Osprey, not the Zero Fail which is more ca$h

Gas piston conversion
How about a blast from the past.. That's easy, for me the same reason why you (or I) would take a perfectly good Saiga 223 and convert it to accept AR mags. If I drop 5K on something other than my home it better come with dancing girls, LOL. I’m a recreational shooter and no intention dropping those kind of funds on this pastime unless I hit some Lotto money. Nice chatting with you, take care for now... one a side note, if anyone is looking for a “complete piston rifle” I believe Bud’s is running an Adams Arms Blem special, I received a Buds email blast earlier and deleted it but just did a quick search and found this one. In the meantime I’m happy with my Franken guns

Gas piston conversion
Its called “carrier tilt” for those guys keeping track of Pros and Cons. It’s addressed in the MAC video I posted. MAC points out that his carbine has fired thousands of rounds and with no indication of carrier tilt. the Osprey bolt carrier is chamfered to prevent the issue, like anything else some kits are worse than others.

Gas piston conversion
I don’t know about the kit you mentioned, nor am I not an expert on any firearm or anything else for that matter. That said last year Midway had a sale on Osprey and Adams arms kits and I picked up the osprey defense. I have a pair of DI’s and the one piston rifle and to me there is no difference shooting one or the other at the range plus I try and stay away from that XXX is better than YYY. Anyway the targets don’t care and neither does the ammo. Here’s a few vids on the osprey if you are interested https://youtu.be/STpLZwQ7Qyg https://youtu.be/YWDxNimtWWY

Calling all computer experts
As state above It could be a couple of things, it could be the environment such as getting booted off an already overcrowded channel, the wireless card drivers are outdated or your wireless client software. Judging from what you said sounds like it’s the laptop itself if I had to guess. I know in the past I’ve seen other vendor’s wireless client management software like 3Com & Dell Wireless management software drop connections continually. Are you using Windows and is you wireless network adapter is being managed by Windows or some other vendor’s software? If it is not being managed by MS Windows look for a setting within that vendor’s software to allow your wireless adapter to revert back to being managed by Windows.

Saiga Conversion Question - FCG Retainer Plate Fit
there are two. as per one of the NJGF Mods this is one I used. I could see where the other one would be a problem but this one drops in effortlessly http://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/Tapco_Axis_Retaining_Trigger_Pin_Plate_AK47_Vepr_p/tapco-plate.htm

Saiga Conversion Planning
Not necessary according the CSS video to remove the mag catch, that said which every way you trim it I would suggest trying a couple different type of mags to find the sweet spot while fitting. Plastic may fit different than metal mags and vice versa.

Verizon FIOS?
Then the VZ router is not for you, VZ leaves a a port open so it could be managed remotely but no big deal according too them... I see you joined the above mentioned forum yesterday and asked about the GPON, you don’t get to choose your ONT. What I mentioned above was an end-around to obtain the GPON Ont since you first stated you were going to above & beyond the normal install and bond of two ONTs. I only mentioned it because some over on DSLreports some folks think the 75/75 is pushing the limits for BPon and it should be on the GPon. I took the 75/75 tier for a test ride on my BPon ONT and it worked perfectly. I rolled back to the 50/50 because I couldn’t justify the extra $10 and taxes a month. The 75/75 was clocking in at 84/86 for me, pings at 10 so I’ll take that all day long on BPon with a CAT5 (not CAT5E) on my Home network. Trust me, if I didn’t mention Gpon vs BPon and you got whatever VZ issued you wouldn’t even know the difference, it’s all about where you speeds are provisioned. Now here on NJGF you said “I'd get 25/25 to start, so hopefully, it will equate to one 50/50 connection” and over on dslreports you said ”I don't need a lot of speed (150/150 is probably enough)”, you realize that’s a 125MB swing on both the upload and download directions? You also previously said you will only be averaging <250GB of traffic so the 150 tier is probably overkill but hey, it’s your money. So to review if you order the 150/150 service you automatically get the GPon and get provisioned on Ethernet. If you order the 75/75 (or lower) you will likely get BPon and provisioned on the Coax WAN unless you request to be provisioned on Ethernet. Anyone could have their ONT reprovisioned to Ethernet, that is, if they know why they are requesting it. Most people including the OP (here) probably only need the Coax WAN. Again bonding two ONTs provisioned at 25/25 is a total waste of money when you could just get one ONT provisioned at 50/50. As one of the replies mentioned in your DSLreports post it is pretty obvious if there a problem at the CO you will lose service on both ONTs so you gained nothing. The 75/75 is the sweet spot for most people but since you will NOT be a Verizon customer and will be a Frontier customer their pricing, packages and TOS could all be different. Good luck

Verizon FIOS?
I hear you but VZ doesn’t turn your router into “all customer” Access point like Optimum Online. I’m a wired guy myself. I had been running our Roku boxes on the 5 GHz band and the handhelds on the 2.4 GHz band. Some may not agree with this but we don’t need to be bombarded with the wireless 24/7/365 in our own home. I was watching a Health Care professional on one of the news shows and she said “at least” turn off the wireless at night when you are sleeping. That’s right up my SO’s (Significant Other) ally since she is more health-conscious than I am and I don’t have a problem with it. I picked up a 16 port gigabyte Ethernet switch last year because I needed the extra ports anyway so I figured I’d put the Roku on the switch as well. I ran CAT5E to each TV location and installed nice wall mounted data ports. I shut down the 5 GHz band all together and have the 2.4 GHz band on a schedule so it’s off at night. I’m running dd-wrt which you probably know but for those that don’t know its an open source firmware which allows for wireless scheduling and a few other features not available in a retail router, I don’t know what VZ has on theirs… As far as bonding two ONT together not sure why you would need to do that on a residential connection, plus I would not want two ONT's hanging off my house. A 50/50 or 75/75 will take anything you throw at it. I read somewhere a guy in CA bonded two ONT’s provisioned @ the 150mb tier for a 300mb connection. I believe this happened before the 300 tier was available, anyway the problem was he was on a residential connection and got cited for a TOS (terms of services) violation which was excessive bandwidth usage. He was pulling something ridiculous like 20TB a month and couldn’t understand why he got a letter, LOL. if you want to go big get the 150/150 or 300/300 and you get the GPON ONT then downgrade to the 75/75 or 50/50 and you have still have GPON ont, I believe If you order the 75/75 or lower you get the BPON ONT. Good luck!

Verizon FIOS?
Honestly for data only I don't know but I would ask. I have my own but I’m grandfathered in. The old AcionTec routers were OK for wired connections but the wireless sucked. Now they have a new Quantum router that the VZ fan boys are drool over. From what I heard the wireless is now much better than on the older VZ routers. In a nutshell if you have Fios TV service and are provisioned on coax you need the VZ router but if your ONT is provisioned on Ethernet (which I am) you need a Moco adapter (or VZ router) to get the TV guide and onscreen caller ID to your STB’s. If you go over to dslreports.com they have a huge FAQ for custom configurations. I don’t care about the onscreen CID but I have the moca adapter to get the TV guide. Also VZ Tech support will not help you tech support unless you have their router, or they will only provide limited support at best. Now in my case if I have an issues with the internet I plug a laptop directly into the ONT to trouble-shoot it and if it works as it should then the issue is on my end, if it don’t work it’s on their end and they must address it. What I failed to mention in the first post is you could either buy their router outright or do the rental so your choice. If it were me I’d asked if I could buy my own off ebay but I don’t have any idea what they would say.In your case data only I don't see why not...

Verizon FIOS?
with all due respect that's a great d/l speed but a little lacking in the u/l speed department. If I needed something faster (which we don't) I'd still take a 75/75 (or 150/150) over that 300/20 but that's just me. VZ's 75/75 tier clocks in about 84/88

Verizon FIOS?
We have it for about 8 years and the service itself and uptime is great. The only problem is sometimes the billing department could get things pretty messed up so you just have to watch your bill whenever you make changes in services. We have all three services and occasionally the email will go down for a few hours every 2 - 3 months for maybe a few hours but comes right back. the internet, voice and TV service uptime has been rock solid. We have the 50/50 tier and very happy with it. You could get the 75/75 (which is more like 82 down and 86 up) for about $10 more a month but I’m fine with the 50/50. We could stream NetFlix and Amazon Prime to Two Roku boxes simultaneously with no issues whatsoever. On a down note for new customers I believe they started charging a router rental fee and I don't think there is anyway around that, good luck.
