Quoted: The sling that came with the AK does not work, the leather strap does not fit through the foward sling bracket. Whats this all about?
I do not have a bayonet lug on my gas block, I know where I can purchase one to replace it but is it hard to re-align it?

Thesling you have is the same one that came with mine. That thing is sofa king ugly and like you said, "it doesn't even fit" what's up with that. I still have mine, you could put a clip on one end like I did so it will fit the slot.
As for your Gas block, that's a lil more tricky.
Quoted: I just replaced my WUM 1 with bayonet lug parts. All you need is vice grips or a vise. hammer and good eyesight.

THIS IS NUTS!!!!The easiest way to remove the front sight and gas block from your AK is to use a hydraulic press. If you don't have one a simple 12 ton press can be purchased
here for $99.99. It is also good for removing the barrel from the front trunion and squeezing rivets among other things.
NEVER USE A HAMMER!!!!You would have to first remove the FSB (front sight block) by removing the pin/pins on the lower half. Most of the time these pins need to be knocked out left to right With the right side being the ejection port side. Lube her up real good first with Kroil. Take your pin punch and press and lay the rifle down on its right side with left side facing up, it's a good idea to get something to hold the rifle flat and firm, or if you have a vise, rap a towel around the rifle a secure it. Slowly increase the pressure until they start to come out. then do the same to the gas block and make a jig out of something to press them off the barrel verticlly.
It's a lot of work for a bayonet, Hey?
I once recommended to a guy to use JB weld or PC-7 (is better) to affix a piece into the receiver to correct his mag wobble. The PC-7 should not be affected by chemical as long as it is completely cured. It should be totally impervious to most chemicals. Not sure about acids or some alkalis. But what are you really going to put in your gun any way?
Hope that helps
