I have a 74 muzzle brake installed on my SAR-2, the brake is welded to the FSB. I want to replace the FSB with a threaded FSB and it looks like two pins are holding the FSB on. How hard is this to do? I've replaced the front sight on a Mini-14 one time and it was real easy to do. Later, a freind ask my to help with taking the front sight off a Chi-com SKS and that was a disaster. The pin flatten out after 2 hits and then wouldn't budge. Any insight would be appreciated. Also, has anyone else out there taken their muzzle brakes off and replaced them with a FS? If so, what FS did ya go with? Thanks in advance.

Soak everything with Kroil for a couple of hours first. The pins will drive out easier.

Educate me on Kroil, what is it and where do I get it? Thanks.

You can probably find Kroil at your local hardware store. It's a penetrating oil that loosens frozen parts. Some guys swear by it for removing copper fouling from barrels. It gets under the fouling and lifts it to be brushed out.
www.kanolabs.com/ Loosens Frozen Metal Parts! An industry proven penetrating oil that has no equal. Quickly loosens rusted nuts and bolts - frees frozen shafts, pulleys, etc. Penetrates to 1 millionth inch spaces, dissolves rust, lubricates, cleans and prevents rust. Displaces moisture. The oil that creeps. Used by 480 of the Fortune 500 companies! |

www.k-var.com probably has them.
Are you sure the pin spacing on a Bulgarian FSB will match the Romanian? K-Var was going to start making Romanian 22mm FSBs. Might check to see if they are available yet. |

I believe the Bulgarian FSB will not fit the SAR 2-the barrels are different diameter. You may need to wait until KVAR gets more Romanian bases in/makes their own.

They are now taking preorders by phone only for the Romanian 22mm FSBs. |

so are the FSB pins tapered? Does it matter which side i drive from? It kindof looks like they're a little larger on the right side but its hard to tell under the crappy paint.

Most people say drive from right to left-if you are looking down the muzzle. However, if it looks like left to right is correct in your case, give the pins a few love taps and see what happens.
I ended up cutting the sight bases off both my SAR 1and SAR 2. It seems like everyone else that has posted directions/tutorials had a much easier time than I did. Also, a press is very helpful in this exercise. |

MiniZ thanks for your response. I finished that little project up last night. I first tried pounding them out from right to left with no luck, then i applied the majic kroil juice and an hour latter had no problem. I used a pair of vice grips to hold the detent pin and spring in (after checking to ensure the cutout on the pin was orientated correctly) and i was done.
The K-Var brake i got ended up clocking a little to the right so that the gases will go up and slightly to the right. I presume this is the way its supposed to be to help with full auto fire right? |
