hammer on with rubber mallet the new compnents. Good luck with that, because it probably isn't going to work. You can use a Bulgarian AK-74 handguard retainer and Bulgarian AK-74 FSB's have always been on the pricey end. That's something you're either going to have to live with or settle for something else, like an AKM FSB. |
| I have also been told that theres a good chance my previous pin slots in the barrel will line up with the new gas block and fsb. Other wise I have no problem going with an AKM fsb, I kind of like that look but I would have to drill pin holes throug the top and I only have a hand drill. |

Does your barrel have the slots milled out for the lower hg retainer? You basically need to look for a Bulgarian 74 lowers hg retainer er and you should be gtg. If you don't have the slots milled on your rifle, just mill out the nubs on the inside of the retainer, then use a round file to file the slot to hold it in place. Measure twice, file once.

He wants to use a hammer to remove and install the parts... |
