Anyone know if the top area on a Yugo 59/66 gas block can be safely welded closed? Not the gas port inside, but the opening on top for the shut-off valve I'm tinkering with a build and would like to remove the shut off valve completely, but curious what options id have closing up the hole left behind. Does the gas valve need to remain to keep the block functioning? If so, maybe instead leave valve in there & in the open/semi position, then just cut off the button and weld it front top side instead Of course I'd file dwn the weld to the contours of the block and reblue to make it look decent |
| Murrays Gunsmithing I guess makes that too. I just got off the phone with them and they confirmed their GV-2 design, which uses a hex head set screw instead of the factory knob, sits almost flush with their stainless valve body, locking it in either semi or single shot mode without any permanent alteration. I might just give that a try |
