SIG Sauer Mosquito: DIY Removal of the CA "only fires when magazine is in gun" thingy

How to remove the thing that doesn't let you operate the trigger on a Sig Sauer Mosquito when a magazine is not properly inserted in the gun. this is for educational purposes only, attempt at your own will. i am not responsible for your actions.

tools you will need:

-Drill (on lowest setting)
-small flat screw driver
-5/64 drill bit
-1/16 or 3/32 punch
-pin block (a small block of wood with a hole in it will work also)
-straight dental pick (straightened paper clip will work also)
-you might want your smallest mallet to help you with the punch
-some balls to attempt minor gun smithing

 

yes ^^^^^^

 

X2. I would not do this.

The ATF is raiding all kinds of shit these days. Just happened on Friday near my house. Effffffff that.

 

You should tell that to the gun shop that was making grenades and automatic weapons near my house.

 

I concur on the ATF part.

 

This is probably one of those things that will never cause you trouble as a responsible gun owner IF you keep it off the internet.

 

cool that you figured this out but, i don't think that modifying firearms is that smart of an idea. i think people most people probably couldn't and shouldn't do this or any modification to any firearm. these safety measures are built into this weapon because the law mandates it in the region the weapon was sold so to modify it to remove it is not only illegal but, unsafe imo.

chris i would delete this thread before someone tries this who has never worked on guns before thinks it's "cool" then hurts or kills themselves accidentally.

i don't mean to offend the op in anyway. i just don't think it's a great idea to post a how to of removing a safety feature of this or any weapon especially when it violates laws.

edit: this is in fact illegal correct?

 

probably so when your cleaning the weapon if you did not clear it properly i will not discharge on you. i'm also sure there are other scenarios that this plays to as well thats just the first one that comes to mind.

 

to be honest i actually believed my usp compact had this feature as well. the restricted capacity is kind of gay but, i'm not really sure why you would want to delete this feature on a gun any way what purpose does this serve you?

 

I still dont understand WHAT is the point in doing this I have a Sig Mosquito and I have yet to want to take it out and shoot it without the mag. could be I'm missing something here WTF

 

i'm not saying the op can't pull this off safely or assuming the op's level of gun smithing here. i was just saying that not everyone should attempt something like this at least not with out formal training like an armorers course related to that weapon system being modified.

he is listing instructions on modifying the lower of a semiautomatic pistol there is a lot going on in there and for some this could seem easy enough at first then something could happen either when it's apart like they hurt their gun or themselves once it's back together.

i truly did not mean to offend the op here. i just thought it was a little out there considering the op is stating that all guns being sold in ca. are now coming with this feature because of some law stupid or not was passed.

it is still a law however and it's regarding a firearm so imo this was not the most thought out post as it could as stated before could either hurt , get someone in trouble or even killed if the modification is performed improperly.

 

it still makes no sense to me but, i will reread and see if it comes to me

yep i loved my hk as far as battle tupperware is concerned it's some of the finest to be had. btw i bought mine in 2000 like i said though i'm not for sure if it had that feature but, i think the mag needed to inserted for the weapon to fire.

 

The purpose of not being able to fire when the mag is dropped is too allow leo in a struggle to drop the mag so the perp isn't able to kill them with their own gun. A fairly big problem.

 

i was saying that in ca they do seem to have a lot of restrictions on capacity i think that is kind of dumb thats what i meant lol.

i understand what your doing removing a piece so that the weapon will fire with a round in the pipe and no magazine inserted.

 

yes thank you there are a few safety reasons this was put through is it kind of dumb sure for almost everyone out there who is not going to get into a fire fight with le but never the less you know that there is some momo who would bring a pink framed .22 mosquito into a gun fight with le

point being it does serve as safety purpose and it is in fact against the law to modify and or change this feature of the gun. the op needs to use a magazine at the range it's not the end of the world lol. at least he will be compliant with the law and not diseminating info on how to disable this feature for others.
