goldenpony 61 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I thought I was all ready to convert and understood everything. I am planning to use CSS conversion kit #1. I thought it was just install these parts and voila. Now I keep reading the hammer needs to be profiled or I might end up with cycling problems. I have no idea what this means. Can I send the hammer some place and have it done by somebody that knows what he's doing? I am planning, in addition to the #1 kit to order the access lock plate, re-worked BHO lever and possibly the JTE performance hammer spring. They refer to a "Modified trigger group and hammer", but it still needs to be profiled? I'm confused. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighPlainsDrifter 466 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Can I send the hammer some place and have it done by somebody that knows what he's doing? I would either send it to Shannon at Cobra Customs or Brian at Dinzag. But before you do that think about doing it yourself. Link here... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hdskumm 39 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I think CSS sells a already profiled hammer http://www.carolinashooterssupply.com/product_p/css-saiga-hammer.htm Although if you have the confidence to convert a gun, you could do it yourself without any problems. The main purpose is to lessen friction, and I like to file mine so the hammer hits the firing pin flat on instead of on an angle. a file, some 400 grit wet dry sandpaper with a little wd40 on it is all you really need.

Mullet Man 2,114 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 That's not a profiled hammer. It's modified for use with the bho and in an s12 it has the hump removed. It will still most likely need profiling. If you can do the conversion,you can profile a hammer. Just mirror the factory hammer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hdskumm 39 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 The hammer face has been altered in the picture. That's definitely not just a typical tromix mod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Basically you want the face of the hammer to look something like this, see the instructions in the "trigger job" thread linked in my sig line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was looking at it from my phone, which wasn't showing the price or pic. But on the tablet, I see it now. Greg should put a little better description in there....
