I was lucky my front sight was held on by two pines. I knocked them out and took the entire front sight off. Now for the bad news. It was not threaded. So know the hunt will begin for an AK-74
front sight base. If anyone knows of a good place to look let me know. |

Apex has them for $77 but they use pins and not pines.

It's not hard really. Dremel the Saiga sporter FSB off, or use a press
I put my own 74 FSB on a 7.62 Saiga about 10 years ago when Saiga conversions were the only way to get AK74M or AK103 type rifles. Pretty simple once you understand what is happening and how the tools work 
And this is great advice from one of our wisest members Quoted:
