| Disassembly of SIG 226 for install of short trigger, as well as, trigger job (coming soon) |
| I continuously get emails and read post about how so many gunsmiths want an arm and a leg to install simple parts for SIGs. I put this how to up for those of you who would like to try yourself. I do all my own gunsmithing and this is not the hardest thing to do nor is it the easiest, as it is a SIG. Anyone however who decides to work on their guns is doing so at their own risk and these are just guidelines to go by. Please be reasonable on what you do and remember to be safe. Taking close note to how things are before you disassemble. I am NOT responsible for any work YOU do, or mistakes YOU make, or improper reassembly to your gun OR others. |
