I threaded the barrel in my back yard. Then I sold the threading tools, so it cost me $40 to thread the barrel on the rifle. It's not hard if you take your time.snatale42 wrote:Do you have any pics? just started doing the same thing myself. Figured I'd be crazy not to since you wind up with a legit Russian AK in the end! Not worth all the hassle that the cheaper variants deal with. I'd like to do the front sight post and gas block (for the cleaning rod) but the cosmetic difference probably won't be worth it. Where did you get your barrel threaded?jrswanson1 wrote:Personally, I bought a Saiga in 7.62x39 and am doing the conversion to AK myself. I'm most of the way there, I'm skipping the front sight change and I'm putting an AK-74 style brake on it.
