acer 10 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I've had my Saiga for around 4 years and despite the fact I bought it to convert, I've put it on the back burner for a while, until a couple weeks ago. Took it to the range yesterday, but was having trigger reset issues. After searching here I rebent my hammer spring so I'll see if that took care of it in a couple days. Anyway, let me know what you think. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bikermutt07 10 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Love it, did you do the parkerizing yourself? Difficult? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
acer 10 Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Yeah. I did all of the work to it. Parkerizing is pretty easy, you just have to have the right equipment. Its not nearly as involved as bluing. Here's a thread I started following the bluing of a friends shotgun. http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/71073-bluing-an-old-jc-higgins/ I will try to take some decent pics next time I parkerize.
