Looking for a gunsmith who can do this? I don't have the tools or the time to try. I would just rather pay someone to do it right.

U can send ur saiga to msa. If I read right its 150 for installation and 250 for the part

dont send them your gun.. it could take them a week... or 700 years..

 

all you need is a dremel and patience... if you want come over and I can help you with it... it is a huge pain in the balls... but not difficult if that makes sense... like.. the process is not difficult... just tedious..

It does. Seems real tedious and i have very little patience. I don't want to send the gun out. I was hoping to find a 'smith to do it

well then to be honest.. you need a machine shop more than a gun smith.. It is not some magical process.. but I dont know that a typical smith would have the patience for what needs to be done... you are literally milling the trunion out and you have to go slow so you dont over heat the metal.. if you have a friend with a mill.. they would probably be able to help you out...

ETA: you will not likely find a machine shop to do it.. because they can not take in your gun and do work.. but if you have a friend or a family member that could just "help you out".. like while you were there.. just borrowing their equipment.. that would probably be ok.. otherwise grab a couple beers and a dremel... and be patient.. lol

I know nobody with a machine shop

Why not give Nick at Mastodon a shout. He has a small mill in house.

I think thats all it would take... I did mine with a dremel.. by hand.. I am sure with a mill and some patience it would be cake..

then u shud give George from Paterson Gunsmithing a call. like i said before the guy graduated from The Izhmash school of gunsmiths in Russia. so there is nothing he can't do with Russian style rifles or any other firearm....
