Good news! I went to the range today and i tried shooting my saiga x39 with the damage muzzle(barrel) and I was surprised that the rifle still shoot great. I dumped 150 rounds of russian ammo and it did not blow up the barrel. I have this video today at the range-----Youtube : Step 5. Saiga 7.62x39 FSB (Range report after FSB was replaced). (on youtube) or just type saiga fsb.

I am going to the range this coming saturday to test the rifle but, i will not put the muzzle brake for the first 30 rounds to be safe. with pictures preferably I will be taking videos of my firing test on this rifle these coming saturday.

No! The cut did not go through the bore. I did remeasured the cut and the thickness of the metal left and I figured out that I still have 1.8 mm of thickness all around and that is more thicker than the muzzle of any 1911 45 pistol. So, I guess it would still be ok and there isn't much pressure on the muzzle side of the barrel. I hope it will be ok!

How do you know it's not rusting like crazy inside the expansion chamber? Do you shoot surplus ammo? Could you give me any tips on how to clean mine if I have it permanently installed? Thanks! Why do you need to weld your muzzle brake on your FSB? where you live? Do i need to weld my muzzle brake into my FSB too like yours coz, i live in illinois?

Updates for my Saiga 7.62x39. I cancelled the cutting of my barrel from my local gunsmith and I bought the bulgarian FSB and Ak 74 USA made muzzle brake made by krebs custom. I did the work by myself on cutting the original FSB that is on the rifle and installed the new bulgarian FSB 24mm. This is the title on my videos in youtube--Saiga 7.62x39 FSB (Front sight block) removal and replace.

Hi! anyone can help me decide on how to solve my problem. I have a saiga 7.62, I am trying to cut my FSB shroud 1 inch backward from the very front tip to accommodate my muzzle brake thinking that the threaded part of the barrel is 1 inch long. What happened was, I cut too deep all around using the hacksaw and didn't realize that i was cutting already on the barrel and i think that i only have 1.4mm thick of metal left all around the barrel. Is this still safe to use the rifle on this condition or should i weld the barrel all around just to fill up the damaged portion. I am also thinking of re

Okay, i'll just leave this to the smith and pay for 150 dollars or should i leave it this way???? help!!! These are my pics.

I did went to a smith already and they are suggesting me thesame way to cut the barrel and put a permanent muzzle break on it but, theyre asking 150 dollars by doing it. I am thinking of doing it myself.
