Looking to put a slant break on my sar-1. What are my option? How do these effect accuracy?

Not sure but is the sar barrel threaded ?

I dont think it is so it would need to be pressed on or get the adaptor and you will make a mess of your gun welding etc.

 

And is it realy worth it for a slant break I dont think so.

You will have to replace the existing sight block with a threaded one (14x1mm). You will not see any real benefit in semi auto fire.

true, I was going for pure looks but eh...

Is there not enough room on the muzzle in front of the FSB to thread it using a 14x1 LH tap and die?

No, there is not enough meat, I'm sure a lot of perfectly good rifles were ruined trying. Ten or so years ago when the SAR1 was the hot item we all sent them to AKUSA and IGF (among others) for the FSB change and refinish. If you watch ARFCOM's EE those rifles turn up quite often and at usually reasonable prices.

 

And yes, capri_auto they have a genuine military grade AKM receiver. Finishing it off with the slant comp without a doubt completes the look. Look for the parts in the regular places and look up Jason at IGF for the work. The man's workmanship is amazing and turn around time is fast.

I didnt understand the above,,, the sight block isnt threaded.

 

I dont own one but i would think the barrels diameter would le less then needed to run a die down it.

 

I wouldnt change it you will take away from the value when its time to sell it

I didnt understand the above,,, the sight block isnt threaded. Original ban imports and USA builds didn't have threaded FSB's.

Not true, the SAR series with or without basic modifications are commanding similar prices.

As a collector I dont alter anything I collect I feel it holds the value better if its kept factory but its not my gun so what ever he wants is up to him .

 

I could be wrong but the fsb isnt treaded the barrel is at least on every ak type gun I have seen.

I see im wrong they do make them

The Original SAR's would have had a threaded barrel but due to the import ban they were machined off. Which is why there is not enough meat for the tap and die fix. The threaded FSB came later and was designed to fit over the machined barrel IIRC.

seems like too much of a pain in the ass for me.. thanks for the info though guys maybe in the future I'll mess with it

Isn't there still a hole in the FSB where the plunger was? A pin could be installed and slip the comp over the barrel and silver solder away. Actually you wouldn't need silver solder considering the barrel isn't threaded. You may have to go looking down range for your comp after a while but some epoxy could work.
