I was ready to buy a gas block with a bayonet lug on there when I noticed the dimensions on the current gas block. This is a Romanian Intrac model with the appropriate amount of U.S. parts.
The gas block looks like it never was cut in order to make the "ears" for the lug. It is 1/2 inch wide. Instead of buying another gas block could I just take measurement from the kit I'm going to buy and dremmel this into the appropriate shape?

As long as you have enough "meat" under the cleaning rod then I say "go for it". You were considering buying a new gas block anyway, so if you screw it up then just go ahead and get your new piece. I personally wouldn't hesitate to hack away at any of my AKs with a dremel.

What is the width of the bayonet lug "ears"? Is it 1/2 inch? |

I measure .472" on one of my Romanians. |

The .472 is it the measurement where it has been ground or are you talking about the width of the bayonet ears. My question is basically what is the width I need to achieve where I'll be doing the grinding.

.472 is the ears. The narrow part is .355. The thickness of the wide part is .115. If you know what I mean.
