Klassy Kalashnikov 1,393 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I'm pretty disappointed with my American made muzzle ornament on my 5.45. I see some guy has awesome deals on the real deal Bulgarian FSB and the 24mm brakes to go with it and would love to change over to the real thing. The only thing I am wondering about is just how hard it is to change the front sight blocks and what is involved. I kinda have a gist of the process but not really So some beginner tips would be awesome. If anyone has pics or tutorials or experience too that would be great.

Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 punch the barrel retainer pins out, press off the FSB, is how to get it off. reverse the process for installion. I'm not 100 percent sure if the bulgarian FSB has the same inside diameter as the inside diameter as the SAIGA FSB, that is for someone else to chime in on Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G O B 3,516 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 A little heat and a wood block or a gear puller or a press - or.... Lining up the new sight is a bit harder, a gun vise and a spirit level and a drill press are the tools that will produce the best result with the least %^$**$%^$%^!

vjor 2 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 I use plates that I made to take FSB and GB off and another set of plates to install them with out bending the receiver on a 12 ton press. Plus a laser line or small cord to aling the parts on the gun. The hard part is not much taking the FSB or GB off as to install the parts back with out doing any bending on the receiver of the gun that is why I made my plates to avoid fubar the gun in any way. As pressing stuff back is not that easy as all the pressure have to be on the barrel with out putting any on the receiver. As you don't want to bend receiver or barrel as you press away. Good luck.
