Excellent and interesting thread as always. Love the 7H1 groups.

was a tough weekend for this guy. Try as I might, best I could really do was 1.5" group regardless of what ammo we used, and that was only like 2 times. Just couldn't get in the zone. I am enjoying the rifle, and as Zen has pointed out in the past, the groups really do tighten up with a suppressor.

Anyone working to secure all the FSBs that weren't included with these? Because that would be dope. |

I keep wondering about that. You would think that they would've had some FSB's and even furniture that could be sent separately. I did manage to nab a more correct FSB off of AK Files last night, although I didn't realize it didn't have a bayonet lug until after I posted 'I'll take it' I am halfway contemplating having a small chunk of lightly heat treated steel TIG welded to it and maybe machine the bayonet lug geometry into it or something.

Well, was going to drive out the FSB pins last night. Unfortunately mine are in pretty good; broke 2 Starrett punches trying to drive them out. Might try penetrating oil or even heat today just to see if I can get them moving at all.

weird, ours come out easy. In fact, I broke the one for the front site drum that you remove to add the FH when trying to put it back in. It just floats now, not a big deal since I'll probably never use the irons

I noticed some sort of grease-looking material in the FSB pins of mine, so it makes me wonder if they put in some sort of adhesive or threadlocker in the pins of mine. |

Sir , there are other Vendors in the B&T Network that will be offering the Hungarian FEG HD18 rifle for sale. These arrive in the US in limited numbers so it would be best to locate a dealer that may be able to accept a pre order from you. Although these rifles are expensive they are a gorgeous rifle and definitely a great addition to a Kalashnikov collection .

Closest I had was a 308 Russian Vepr with the gorgeous walnut stock. With the 8 power PSOP scope I was getting about 2 inches at 100 yards with Cavim ammo

Welp, guess I'm breaking out the rosebud to try and heat these pins out. Hopefully a press or anything else destructive doesn't get involved.
At least I've (hopefully) scored a full wood furniture set off of AK Files, might take a minute to get here though. |

On another note, I did manage to get the FSB pins out with a torch, but the FSB itself is stuck on there pretty good. Just gonna call it a day, unless someone can enlighten me on some tips and/or tricks to get this thing off. |

If you do, try and rig to use a slam hammer. Only thing I can think of.

View Quote My initial idea right now is a brass insert on a threaded steel rod going thru the flash suppressor (the brass insert being seated on the muzzle) with a set of brass soft jaws under the collar of the FSB. After heating up the FSB again I'll try and screw the threaded part against the barrel making the soft jaws against the collar pull up on the FSB. Maybe then it'll pull the FSB off the barrel. Sort of like a press, but if you don't have a press... |

So I know next to nothing about SVDs except the basics but Zen did you have a Tigr as well to test with the Hungarian and NDM86?
