true.believer 10 Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 I posted these questions in the Tech Section several days ago but have not received a single response, so I'm re-posting here in case the people in the know have missed it. Surely somebody on this board has some type of experience with replacing the gas block and front sight block! A few questions regarding replacing the front sight block and gas block on the IZ-132 7.62x39 Saiga. 1.) When replacing the stock gas block with the Romanian AK-022 gas block (from K-VAR...http://www.k-var.com/shop/product.php?prod...=292&page=1), or any gas block for that matter, how does one go about assuring that the gas ports are aligned between the barrel and the new gas block? 2.) Are there any jigs or clamping methods (or any other tricks of the trade) to help maintain proper alignment of the gas block and front sight block (such as the AK-333 FSB...http://www.k-var.com/shop/product.php?prod...=290&page=1) while the retainer pin holes are being drilled out through the blocks and barrel? 3.) Since the retainer pin locations for the AK-022 gas block and the AK-333 FSB are in entirely different locations than the retainer pin locations for the stock gas block and FSB, are there any reliable methods to fill-in the old retainer pin holes on the barrel?
