At this point the receiver will fall so be ready to catch it. Once the barrel and FSB are flush you will not be able to press it any farther, I remove the penny and place a 1/4" drive 5/16" deep socket on the barrel and start to slowly press again. Sorry for the crappy quility I was doing this by myself and it's not easy with only 2 hands Just a quick shot of me pressing off the FSB pics to follow. Start slowly pressing the sight off, it make a cracking and poping noise, this is normal. Make sure to use a penny or copper washer so you don't damage the crown of the barrel. Put press block around the barrel and tighten screws, then set ontop of arbor plates on press. Press/punch out the 2 pins in the front sight block, this make take some force and a BFH but they will come out. Apply lots of wd-40 or some other type of penetrating lubricant to the FSB, I use aero kroil, it doubles as a cosmoline remover Remove ALL furniture from your AK if you like the finish on it, you are better off safe than sorry. 12ton shop press (I got mine at harbor frieght for $100 w/ a coupon)

Quality screw driver set for removing furniture Sorry for the crappy MSpaint drawing but it's the best I can do for nowĭon't mind the extra hole or weird cut, I'm working on another part of the jig Once the barrel will slip in you are done, now you can "clamp" the jig onto the barrel, after the FSB, and make sure that it fits tightly but slides freely. Slowly and carefully drill the hole making sure it stays straight, pull the dirll bit out and clean off shavings as needed, becareful as aluminum is soft and if the shavings build it up it could ruin the hole you are drilling.Īfter you have completed drilling the hole, seperate the 2" pice and 1" piece, you will need to file off the edge on the 2" piece of barstock so the barrel will slip in, take your time and use the barrel as a guide as to when to stop filing.

Measure 2" from end of barstock and 1 13/16" from top, this is where you will drill you 5/8" hole, it should have the majority of the opening on the piece of 2" barstock and a sliver on the 1" piece of bar stock. Use screws to hold pieces of barstock together firmly and place back in vice. To start you will tape the 2 piece of barstock together so all sides are flush, put the 2 pieces in a vice so they are held together side by side.ĭrill a hole 1/2" from both ends (as see in red) going through the 1" piece and 2" piece of barstock. Metal file, you will need a fine tooth file a coarse one will work but be alittle more carefulġ/4"x20x4" screw, 4 washers and 4 wing nuts An overzealous prosecutor could turn a weapons-ignorant jury against you real fast when he describes your 'illegally modified' AK.2 Pieces of aluminum barstock (steel would work but you will mostlikely burn through drill bits) (1-2"x1"x8" and 1- 1"x1"x8") But why be the first? Imagine if you use your AK to defend your home, or heaven forbid you accidentally injure or kill someone while shooting in a rock pit. Usually its thrown in with other weapons charges. Further, I do not believe anyone has ever been charged solely on non-compliance. Change one part and you then need to change them all.ĩ22r silly? Absolutely. These issues usually only come up with ban-era weapons like SAR-8s, MAK-90s, NHM-91s, etc that had butthole stocks which removed them from 922r compliance.

You could also change only the stock set and modify foreign mags with US followers and floorplates, but then you are stuck with those mags only.Īll new AKs sold by Century, Arsenal, etc are already 922r compliant without magazines. I would recommend the stock set and fcg as the easiest option, which keeps your rifle compliant with any magazine. The items listed by Gunluvvr are quite accurate and necessary. Sadly, what you want and what is required are two different things.
