Are Saiga Triggers Adjustable?

I haven't found a clear answer elsewhere, so I'll ask here: are the stock Saiga Triggers Adjustable? Mine is way too long for me... I have the 308 model btw. Thanks!

The problem is the Saiga 308s have that horrible trigger linkage to use the "hunting" style stock. Most people convert them to the standard (pistol grip) config. so you can use a standard AK style trigger. It's very easy and cheap to do and makes the trigger worlds better.

So any standard AK trigger would work? Any suggested model?

No.
The best option is a full conversion. Move the FCG forward, then you can utilize a two stage or adjustable FCG.
Check out the Saiga-12 forum for all your possible info on the matter.

Most people go with a Tapco G2 or Arsenal FCG (fire control group), but there are others. The hole for the traditional AK FCG location is already in the receiver since receivers these started out as AKs before being neutered for our country. Most of them also have the square hole already there for bolting in a pistol grip. Lots of info on the Saiga forums, check out this thread: Easiest Way to convert a Saiga .308 - Saiga .308 - forum.Saiga-12.com
Be careful though, after you do one and see how easy it is you'll want to do more.

If you do the full conversion, Red Star Arms makes adjustable triggers.

I have a Dinzag modified tapco g2 on mine. Best trigger of any of my rifles.

Thanks everyone, I'm liking what I hear about the Dinzag, what modifications are needed if I go that route? And is the right part on this page: dinzagarms
