don't ask how it happened, I think it might of been a friend racking the slide with a cable lock on my saiga caused the bolt hold open spring to pop out of place! I'm pissed cause it was hard as he'll to put on in the first place! well I decided that I want to mod my safety lever with a notch using a dremel, anything special I need to know before I proceed? and I read somewhere on the web about modding your ak mags to have a last cartridge bolt hold open feature? anyone know how to do that? that seems like a really good feature to have on saiga...

magazine BHO is annoying and makes mag changes annoying..

 

last shot...

bolt held open... pull other mag and go to make change...

now there is this all this tension on the mag.. and the bolt slams close as you pull the mag out..

 

just annoying IMO..

 

Surefire mags have a last round BHO feature.. I ground it off of my mags due to being so annoying..

thanks vladtepes, what I needed to know... what about the notch or should I even bother?

I put the notch in mine using this site as a guide http://hunting.about.com/od/guns/ss/ak_safety_notch.htm. It works just as it should, but honestly, I don't find it particularly useful. I say don't even bother.

Thanks for the link. I figured as much I'm not gonna bother unless I'm really bored with nothing to do, but lately that's not case way too busy....

honestly the Saiga one is simple and out of the way.. just put that one back.. it works well.. lol
