TRL WGN 1 3 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 well, finally got around to performing my 308 saiga conversion. Decided since I had to paint it anyways, I might as well try my hand at dura coating as well. Chose to go with WWII OD Green. I am very pleased with the results. I also sprayed one of my Unita mags while I was at it . I installed an Arsenal 2-stage trigger. Very crisp break but I am not yet happy with the weight. Going to do some more work on it to get the poundage down. Still much better than factory. Sorry for the less than perfect cell pics. I turned the flash off as with the flash it was washing out too much. with scope-still need to move scope forward since the stock is so much shorter I decided to retain the bolt hold open and I didn't dura coat the trigger guard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Not sure how you will get the weight down any appreciable amount when most of it is in the barrel, receiver, and ammo. Real easy to make heavier though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TRL WGN 1 3 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 was talking about the weight of the Arsenal trigger pull has a clean break, no more long creep like factory Saiga trigger however, it is pretty heavy. guessing 8# or somewhere in that neighborhood yeah, not going to get the gun weight down which, without the scope and mount is only 7 lbs. 13.7 oz. according to my scale Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thinking of doing the same just have other projects taking priority atm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
