just a guess, but i think you have to buy there slip on threads. looks like that adapter slids on and gives your stock barrel threads to atach the brake

so you mean I could thread the barrel on the SAIGA and then use the adaptor for the AK-74 brake to be put on? The threaded part on the Bulgarian AK74 FSB wont' work?
Where do I find an AK-103 style FSB? Would regular AKM FSB be good enough? |

i think its you press fit it on the end of the barrel, so theres no need to thread the barrel. im really not the one to ask on this but i saw that adapter on the ak-usa page specificaly for the saiga

You can go that AK-USA route. You can also buy the Bulgarian AK74 threaded FSB and replace your Saiga FSB. Then you can just spin on a 74 brake (or the AK-USA US made replica) on your FSB and silver solder/weld it in place.
take care, Tec |

Thanks Tec, that's the idea I was thinking about, but the question I have for those that have done it with this method, is if the Bulgarian AK74 threaded FSB is wide enough to go on a 7.62 barrel? I'm also going to do this on .223, but I'd imagine the 5.45 isn't too far from that. If I can use unmodified Bulgarian AK74 threaded FSB that'd be the best way to go. |

NP. Yeah, the Bulgie FSB will fit on both..the outside diameter (OD) of the barrels are the same. I know from experience on both counts (there are pics of my conversion on here somewhere).
take care, Tec |
