That K-Var "mini" kit is complete with a matching number. barrel, trunion, bolt, bolt carrier and top cover so size wont be an issue since basically the only thing from your rifle that will be used is the receiver, furniture and internals. The muzzel brakes thread on by hand and a secure via a detent like your standard AK.

Here is the kit he is refering to. Basically you are scraping all the Romanian parts minus the receiver and trigger group and replacing it with a matching number Bulgarian parts.

I had ORF do mine. Same kit Jnewt posted. Looks great, except it needs refinished. (my lack of money, nothing ORF did) I recommend it, if you can justify the price. Great upgrade IMHO. My rommy barrel sucked hardcore.

They are gravy to swap out.
Remove barrel from trunion (Bulgarian kit) Remove 6 rivets from trunion (Bulgarian kit) Field strip the SAR Remove 6 rivets from the front trunion on the SAR Remove barrel/trunion assembly from the SAR Install the new Bulgarian trunion Check mag fitting Rivet new Bulgarian trunion to SAR receiver Install new Bulgarian barrel in trunion Check headspce Install your new Bulgarian carrier, bolt, top cover and recoil spring Blast away Does not take long at all. I charge $75 to do this with customer suppling parts or $175 with me supplying them.  Only one complaint, K-Var should include the gas tube with them as well. |

what i was getting at was that in order to do a proper swap, the trunnion must be changed out in order to accomodate the wide lug bolt. |

O ya, one other thing.
Per ATF (which I just got off the phone with) when you remove the front trunion which has the serial number on it, the serial number must be stamped into the receiver. If the # is not restamped then you have removed the serial number from the firearm which is a big no no

Okay, what is the solution and how much will it cost?

the easiest solution is to simply buy an arsenal inc. ak74 and keep your sar2 'as is'.

Like Campy said, buy a new Arsenal  and leave the SAR alone or I can restamp the number, no biggie, no fee

You might need to get that in writing. I was speaking to Marc Krebs (owner of KREBS CUSTOMS) this morning concerning a saiga I was working on. The question came concerning removing the front trunion. He said that They do not remove the front trunion on the saiga's because of the serial #. Only a manufacture can move serial #'s Just don't want ya getting into any trouble over something simple. With the ATF everything MUST be in writing... Phone calls do not mean shit. |
