Thread: Threading a saiga .223

Seems that part, of the front sight hood needs to be removed, and then threaded, I want to thread it so that I can fit a small can style suppressor. Who would you guys recommend to do the trimming and threading (preferably in Auckland), also I have read that getting the barrel re-crowned helps with accuracy, can this be done on the original crown, or does the barrel need to be shortened slightly so a new crown can be cut. Previously, I have used a local gun shop, but I know they just send it to someone else, and charge me for the convenience, so I'd rather go direct to the source if i can, and save a couple of $$$, I don't mind freighting it to someone who is good/forum member if needs be.

This is what I mean by front sight needing to be trimmed if anyone is unsure...


the front sight is a sleeve that's pressed on, and as I use it i'd rather not have it, but id like to be able to use a can.

Oh and if I have to trim the sleeve, I assume paint will be fine to cover up the bare metal.
