Adding Russian sight bases?


Recommended Posts

I've been eyeing a Saiga .410 at a local shop and would love to convert it to fit military furniture.

 

What's the best way to add the front and rear sight bases? I've seen one example (here) that the rear was welded over the receiver and another where the "old" rear gas block was removed and an RPK block put in it's place. I'm sure some time's passed since both those mods. Any newer, easier, or better ideas on how to get the same effect?

 

When it comes to taking parts off of and putting parts back on the barrel on these, is a press required or is there a work-around on that?

I welded in an AKM one on the 3 I've done. The width was right. The RPK RSB may fit with some work and you may be able to utilize the cross pin. Otherwise you need to have one custom machined.

 

As for GB removal without a press...

Remove cross pins & drive off with a brass punch...
