After deciding against converting my Saiga .223 (it handles well and is more accurate than I expected), I got curious about painting it. The goal is to make it look like less like an Evil Black Rifle. I did some Googling and found there are no shortage of paint choices. However I am unable to remove the trigger as its riveted in.
My plan is to take it apart as far as I can (detail strip), lightly sand, degrease, tape (Muzzle, breach, non-removable FCG parts) and then paint.
Has anyone painted a stock Saiga? If so, how did you work around the riveted trigger? Would it be better to send it out for duracoating / ceracoating?
