Response to XXasdf..... The muzzle nut has four very small welds on back edge. Easly removed with dremel.

Response to questions in previous post .... There are no notches for handguard retainer to track through on barrel. The handguard retainer does have folded edges. The lower handguard does not have heat shield slots. Any ideas on how to tighten handguard retainer other than welding up slot on barrel and re-cut it? Thanks.

Received rifle from Atlantic. My particular rifle has the receiver dimples. The lower front handguard does not have heat shield. Front end conversion is acceptable. The lower handguard retainer is a little loose when locked down on barrel ( moves left and right about eight of inch ) , most of my other AK type rifles have very tight handguard retainers with little to no movement. As this is only Saiga rifle I dont know if this is normal for these guns or not. No other problems detected.
