Bayonet on 7.62, how?

[jh664322 0]

I have searched and read all the threads on this topic. I bought a (I think) Romanian spike. I have a faux ak-74 brake. When I put the bayonet on, the rear attachment device of the bayonet ends up just behind the stock FSB. I can't weld it here, as it is open barrel, and I don't want the non-authentic look of a bolt on m16 bayonet lug that I convert to fit the Romy spike.

 

I suppose then that I am left with a new FSB. However, since the saiga has 1inch of barrel in front of the FSB already, and mine is threaded, how could I keep my brake and get a new FSB without having to move it rearward and have a gap of barrel between the brake and the FSB?

Wow, what a day for coincidental posts.

 

Somebody just asked how to get a bayonet on a Saiga .223.

 

Some of the info there should be informative.

This is how i went about attaching mine

 

 

i think its the stock FSB, with the sleeve cut off and barrel threaded. Then i just added some material to the gasblock and shaped it into a bayo lug

 

nothing fancy, but I didnt want the bolt on bayo lug
