I searched the form and saw someone asked for a video in the past but there was no reply. I'm hoping someone has found one since that post,

Wanting a guide of some sort to follow along or else im in for a day of trial and error.

any help is appreciated.

I do not understand what you are asking.

I think if you could clarify what it is you want, you may find more help.

I'm pretty sure he wants a video specifically showing how to convert a DAK gun to DA/SA. I would have thought that a simple search would have returned a few options but I searched and I didn't see even one. This is however installing standard parts so perhaps one of the DA/SA disassembly/reassembly videos would likely do most of what you are asking. Also some version of the armour's manual may have the instructions. Mine doesn't but its old. And maybe its on one of Chris videos?

I recommend just finding a video that shows how to disassemble and assemble a DA/SA Classic line pistol. There will be some differences when dealing with a DAK model such as not having to remove the decocker assembly and the parts aren’t all exactly the same, but it should be possible to figure things out. Then use the DA/SA parts and reassemble the pistol in accordance with the video directions. Going the other way, DA/SA to DAK is a little trickier, but in this case the desired outcome is what will most commonly be shown in the common videos.

It is, of course, necessary to have the proper conversion parts, but one common bit of advice that is wrong is the need for a new sear. The sear in the DAK model will work fine in a DA/SA pistol unless it is out of spec for some reason.

There are plenty of videos on YT on disassembling and reassembling the classic SIG. Disassembling the DAK gun is even simpler, since it has no decocking assembly to deal with. The video below deals with the frame only, since you're not having to mess with the slide.

The following info is from our friend TGS' website FAQs page.

Parts to convert from DAK to DA/SA

-Decocking Lever
-Decocking Lever Spring
-Decocking Lever Bearing
-Hammer
-Hammer Strut Pin (except P239 which is integral)
-Hammer Reset Spring
-Hammer Strut
-Mainspring
-Safety Lever
-Sear
-Sear Spring
-Trigger Bar
-DA/SA Grips with Decocking Lever cutout

Yes sorry that wasn't clear.

I did end up using videos on disassembly and assembly but I was unsuccessful. I'll try again tomorrow and see if I did something wrong.

It is possible I swapped out the hammers or misaligned the hammer strut.

What was "unsuccessful"?

Yes you have to use the DA/SA hammer. If you did, then the hammer isn't the problem. If you reused the DAK hammer, then there's the problem.

The top of the hammer strut needs to be positioned way back.

After assembly decocker wasnt working nor single action.
I had to ride the hammer forward when pulling trigger as well.
I havent messed with the classic line since early 2000 so I'm rusty but I'll figure it out, hopefully.

Just as an after thought it would have cost 30 dollars more to just have sig do it.

Here is a better/clearer video.

Focus on re-installing the hammer and the strut properly.

Starting at 12:00, it shows the correct (vs incorrect) interface between the strut and the hammer's cross bolt.

At 13:15, it shows the correct positioning of the hammer cross bolt underneath the hammer reset/rebound spring.

At 26:10, it shows the correct positioning of the hammer strut, when re-installing. As mentioned above, your strut needs to be way back when re-installing to get the correct interface with the hammer's cross bolt.




I bet that's where your problem is.

Thanks for the high quality video. It was infact the hammer strut misaligned.
