when I converted my Saiga-12, I used button-head allen screws in black from Ace hardware.. they come in metric sizes, and did the trick just fine- but I wasn't trying to match other screws..

Sounds like a plan. Do you know they are metric for sure. I have four and only two installed as that is the way I got it. They are round top with hex head. I guess I could pull one and take it with me, and if I find a fit and may need four to match that would do! I'll see what I can come up with. Like you avitar! I have a true 1970 1/2 Z28 now for 30 years. Just bought a 79 Elcamino that has the birth motor and tranny that came with it after all these years from my High School bud! never decked so numbers are still visable. Thanks for the info bro
They should be riveted instead of screwed. Screws are a bad way of trying to hold together an AK. Granted the reciever is fairly stiff in the T.G. area but it just is not the way they are built.
PM me if you want it riveted.
The most important thing to be learned from those who demand "Equality For All" is that all are not equal...

From the factory, the Saiga TG & selector stop was spot-welded... but then again, they're not a true AK, but based on the AK design..
I also used screws because it was quick to test-fit, and could always go to rivets after finishing the TG- I made my own TG, and it's still bare.. but in the meantime, It shoots!
Unfortunately, my Charger doesn't look like my avatar yet- it's what I'd like mine to look like when I finish it (it needs a front clip, and a rear quarter panel).. 4 kids have a way of occupying your time... I got the Charger in Alaska when I was 17 (1987).. it's a 383 4bbl with a 4-speed (Factory Hurst shifter) it's not #s matching, so I plan to do it as a resto-mod, similar to the one in the picture, which is Mr. Angry's... inspiration:
