Help with Gas Block and FSB For Saiga 7.62x39

[bobbowmossberg]

Hey MD Shooters !

Im in need of some help. I just got my Bulgy FSB and my Bulgy 90 degree gas block in for my Saiga Conversion and I my gas block does not have th holes for the pins and I need them drilled. Is there any here that can point me in the right direction. I usually go to Bollingers but I want to try and avoid an hour plus drive to get some holes drilled. Please advise as to where I can go locally or what I would need to do this my self. fellow shooters, please help!

Where did you get the gas block from? I'm curious because if it was from a parts kit it would at least be dimpled or have the pin holes. Does it have the gas port?

I ordered it from K-var. the picture had the dimples in. and the woman I spoke to said they had them in there as well. It does have the 90 degree gas port

I would return it and ask for one with pin holes.

Are you installing this just for the threads?

 

[bobbowmossberg]

yes, I want a muzzle break and maybe the cleaning rod depending on how I feel.

I contemplated just doing the FSB on my Saiga 7.62. I figured since I was already knocking off the FSB might as well do the GB as well. I'm glad that I did, it makes it that one step closer to the military version. Plus it allows you to mount a GP-25/30.

Why don't you just thread your barrel......That's what I did.

I'm a big fan of the 74 brakes..

I was going for the military config (AK-103 clone, still needs a folding stock). In my opinion it's worth it to install a new gas block since it doesn't take much time at all if you're going to install a new FSB as well.

I will be doing that as well. I've decided to go ahead and take it to the gunsmith and him him drill the pin holes in my GB that I have since I don't have a good enough setup to feel confident doing this myself. I will have him put on my FSB too! just have to use a bolt on handguard retainer..


Btw is your is your furniture from K-var?

I see you already figured something out but if you thread your barrel 14×1 you could any brake you wanted to on it.

Yes. Does your barrel have the cuts for the handguard retainer? Mine had the side cuts and only needed a notch on top for the locking lever.

 

[bobbowmossberg]

I will have to notch the barrel... I don't have one. I gyres I can do either the original Russian or a bolt on from CSS. IM ALREADY. 922r compliant
