I have tried and got as far as taking the pins and drilling the holes out with an 1/8 bit out but the dam fsb wont budge! Its rock solid tight on my wasr10.

you can put the barreled receiver in the freezer if you got one big enough.  It normally is enough for the barrel to shrink just a hair and it helps sometimes.

It's an AK. Put it on an anvil and after some hammering, it should be even!

 

Ok seriously, this has been posted on a few AK forums, check it out:

That is the exact directions I am using.. My problem is the FSB seems to stuck on pretty tight I was banging away on her like I have never banged before!

I might be able to take it complacently down and fit. But the wife may not like the AK sitting in her Freezer. This would land me a one way ticket to your couch not just mine!! Thanks for the Tip If all other options don't work will do as a last resort!

Would Heat from a Heat gun mess the barrel up? I took off the muzzle break that was jb weld on maybe the last guy got some inside the FSB?

 

PB Blaster?

 

Pizza Bob Blaster?!?! :fie:

if needed cut it off with a dremil and replace it.. If you're good with a tig or mig,  slide it back on and  weld and cold blue it

I dont know how to weld. I may just cut the dam thing off and start new if i cant fix it/. Or just going to leave it as its not that bad. I just want it to be perfect. I know its a wasr but I can still hope to get this thing looking and running like a 1500 AK
