mattny 2 Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Will a Galil or IO Inc gas block/front sight work on a 223 or 7.62x39 Saiga? Edited January 2, 2012 by mattny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I know a Bulgarian AK74's gas block will work on the S-7.62, and they're readily available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrThunder88 912 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I inquired about an IO gas block/front sight a few months ago and learned they are for 45-degree gas ports. I also think Galil blocks have a larger inner diameter than Saiga blocks. I could be wrong on that one though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonofliberty 6 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 I just installed the Bolton fsgb on my 7.62 and its working flawlessly. Don't know about the others though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wolfhound 2 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I just installed an I.O Inc gas block/front sight and it cycles perfectly. Although you will have to plug the old barrel port and drill a new one since the original and the I.O Inc don't line up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
