Saiga crown damage?

[Cactuscooler]

I had my Saiga leaning against the wall ( dumb idea) it fell against the drywall and the floor board. It mar'd up the sight base. No biggie.

I did the Q tip test, doesn't seem like any visible hairs get caught near the crown. Should I take to a gunsmith to be safe?

Thaht crown looks fine.
The paint gets blasted off like that during normal use.

I'll be fourth to bet money that the crown is fine.

Unless your barrel looks flat and dented on one side all a screwed up crown will do it ruin your accuracy and open up your groups, with the occasional flier and maybe keyholes.

As long as it didnt land on carpet or a ham sandwich you are fine.

Carpet is brutal.
Especially the plush stuff...

If their was any mayonaise involved it will have to be magnetic particle inspected.

I dropped my AR on my carpet and I just decided it would be best to throw it away. There were some marks on the handguard.
