    pressing on AK front sight block

    I wasn't planning on doing this myself but I tried to call Ammo bros (I've had work done their before) and they said they would not touch my saiga barrel becuase he said putting a threaded front sight block is illegal. I know this is not true since I have a fixed mag setup. Oh well, I thought those guys knew what was up. I've got the pins out and I'm ready to press off the old sight block on a saiga 223. I was wondering what I will need for this. I'm planning on using a 20 ton shop press, I think this should get the job done. I just need to know what I can put on the end of the barrel to press it off and what I need to put on the reciever end to press a new one on. I've head that using nickels works? please help thanks.

      where are you located? i'm in cerritos and do AK work, if you can wait until i can get some free time you can come over and get it done here.

      I just recently did this for another calgunner.
      We're not done yet, we're not going quietly. We'll win in the end.
