So rather than having the old front sight block taken off, this new one pinned on, shaved down, repainted, and then the brake welded on....why not have a brake welded on the current barrel? Seems like it would be cheaper, and you don't have to sight the rifle in again.

Because my front sight block is canted and from what I have read the barrel shroud has to be cut off to make a brake fit. But I don't know because I am not a smith.

Because the barrels aren't threaded, the FSB is threaded 24mm assuming you are talking about the '74 style brake. You can't mount that to the barrel unless you do some real bubba stuff to it.

So what do you recommend

If you want a '74 style brake you have no choice but to replace the front sight base with one of these http://gunbroker.com/ then grind off the bayonet lug ears and weld on a brake

Of you could avoid all that work, just be a man, and shoot the rifle

Haha glen do you know who does that kind of work?

http://mygunsnorthwest.com/

 

He does it for $20 IIRC, gotta ship it though. I would trust him more than anyone though. He builds AKs from scratch.

No one in the state can take a fsb off put a new one on with a muzzle brake unreal.

I sent mine to JT Engineering , Jack Travers.... He did work on mine

I can't believe there's no one local tho lol jesus

I cut the shroud and threaded the barrel, then had Paterson gunsmith pin JTac 47 muzzle break.

 

There are some good threads on saiga 12 on how to do so. You might get lucky and have a saiga with the barrel threaded already.

 

Call Paterson gun smith he should be able to do it.

Why not DIY?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The hole then has a dimple drilled into it, welded over, and smoothed with a file once more and painted.
