AK adjustable gas block install Front sight gas block combo

[@KLAYCO47]

Awesome I remember this gun from the bash

[@GunsWithGage]

Im gonna keep bringing this one I think. Until I do a 556 build. Need to get one that after I finish these Romanian underfolders I bought from kalashmas

[@MrBb3k]

😅 me when I saw the cookie at 7:30 🤣😂. Paused...wait...is that a cookie 😂🤣?

[@MrNcmatt]

Nice video, thanks for the content. Hungarian looks like a lot of fun.

[@GunsWithGage]

Thanks! Its my favorite! Its been to 2 kalashbash events so far

[@albertptran]

Customizing an ak, what a pain. Love it when all is done though!

[@akiraman21]

It would be nice to see a video of the install for a side optic rail on a ak. So little information out there about it.

[@GunsWithGage]

Maybe I can do one. I have several ak kits laying around at the moment

[@mikonora861]

Thanks for the video, and you also have great mic quality. Good stuff all around!

[@Banjoandguns]

That gas hole on the barrel is ginormous

[@johnl6569]

Bro is that a cookie? Lol! Great video, exactly what I was looking for!

[@boltsandholes7934]

The Wolverine isn’t just for 14x1lh FYI.

[@joshbecerra9098]

So no press was needed to install the gas block

[@GunsWithGage]

Correct!

[@CaptDestro]

Interested in getting rid of one of those "garbage" gas blocks?

[@nickalden235]

I'm planning on building that exact setup very soon. Is that an un-altered 12" barrel, or did you have to chop it down and re-thread it?

[@GunsWithGage]

Sweet!! Mine started as a 16inch barrel, I chopped and rethreaded it

[@Mountain_Yeti]

@@GunsWithGage did you have to enlarge the port size cutting down the barrel at all or no?

[@Montel783]

TELL ME...... ARE ALL 90 DEGREE GAS BLOCK COME READY TO INSTALL WITH THE HOLE?, THA IS WHAT SAW IN YOUR NEW ONE´

[@officermaggot6350]

“Gas hole”

[@alexinocencio2363]

How do you adjust the gas block settings on that gas block?

[@mrdato116]

So you don't have to drill the barrel and pin it? It just has screws?

[@67_PowerStroke]

Sure wish they made one with the 24mm threads so I can install on my 104.

[@therifflair724]

Did you ever post pics or vid of the finished AMD-65? I wanna do a FSB combo for my FEG.

[@cliffc3673]

Now that you've had this guy on for a bit, what're your thoughts? Would you say it's noticeably better than your other gas block? Anything you would have done/adjusted differently?

[@GunsWithGage]

It has been working great, I don't see any difference at all. Im hoping the metal around the set screws will hold up and not crack

[@cliffc3673]

@@GunsWithGage i appreciate that update! I think mentally im approaching "fuck it ill grind the fsb and gas block off" and ignoring thr "purist" side of me (especially since i have a few AKs already)

[@tonggi]

@@cliffc3673 a part of me also wants to just grind it off and install this.

[@tonggi]

@@GunsWithGage How has this been holding up? All the adjustability you need? I want to put this on a KR103 and then cut the barrel down to 14-14.5" and possibly rethread to 5/8x24. is that possible or is the barrel too thin? BTW if you watch Texas Shooter's Supplys video on this. he drilled a rivet pin above the barrel to prevent movement, was this not part of the instructions or did you skip it? Thanks!

[@Geth-vk]

@@tonggi Is the barrel chromed? than you can't cut it. Chrome will shatter, and it's just going to be bad af

[@ps3fanboy1885]

Very interesting video. Did you build that amd from a kit?

[@GunsWithGage]

Thanks! Yessir, it was mostly a cheap AMD kit, but also from parts I had from other stuff.

[@codyceballos1534]

Did you make those cross bars or are they able to be purchased somewhere?

[@busybird7149]

Nice vid. My foid is in the mail and I'm looking to get an ak. Everyone else I've talked to makes it seem like you need a super computer and a full machine shop to do any mods on an ak. I see thats not the case lol

[@GunsWithGage]

Naw, just a good hammer and some punches! Haha. A press if you want to do it right

[@jsslandro]

The ak is the opposite of that. The Viet cong fixed them with sticks and stones. Same thing in middle east. The NATO guns are the ones that need special tools and all that stuff that gets lost. The ak was designed for people who have never held a gun before to go into battle with. For lack of a better term they are "bulletproof", and a 3rd world farmer can fix them and make them rock and roll. Not as accurate as an M1A, but that rifle has alot more machining involved and is harder to fix. That's why they cost thousands and ak's are stamped to loose tolerances. The ak is a 100 dollar rifle. The internet is what made them astronomical in price.

[@jsslandro]

Heres good advice. Don't watch gun channels to make a decision. Ask war vets. They will tell you bottl9m line, battle proven info without all the hairsplitting. Take for example AR vs ak. Well for 5000 dollars, a 308 AR takes the cake. If AKs were sold at the price they were built for, then there would be a contest. Don't spend thousands on an ak. That's just price gouging. If I had spent a half mil or whatever for a shipping container full of ak's back in like 89 to 92, I'd be a millionaire right now. In 89 I could mail order a real, top quality ak for 100 or 200 bucks. That's when they were fairly priced. Now they are way too much. If I wanted to sell you a new cadillac for 50 grand, or a new Honda civic For the same price. I'd tell you the civic lasts a very long time and is cheap to fix. That doesn't make it worth the same as a new caddy.

[@UncleDanBand64]

You had me at Texas

[@GunsWithGage]

:D

[@herknorth8691]

I'm looking at a gas block/fsb combo for my AK. Some sites say that their product works with 90 degree gas ports or 45 degree gas ports "with some gunsmithing". Do you know what they're referring to? Would it be a modification to the gas block or the barrel?

[@GunsWithGage]

I hope this reply isn't too late, this gas block works with both styles. The barrel has either a 90 degree or 45 degree port. It will almost always be a 45 degree port.

[@tedh7543]

Is this the classic firearms kit you put together?

[@GunsWithGage]

More or less YES!

[@dehunnablakk]

What is the gas tube and piston length for that build

[@Gunmonkey5]

Eventually when i retire fromy my job i want to get into gunsmithing. I want to replace my front sight to a gasblock front sight combo on my Saiga AK. Do I need a 20 ton press to do this? Thanks for the help!

[@bolawdean]

What tool are you using to press that barrel out?

[@mabooali]

Hi, you do gun works? I need to replace gas block on my Bulgarian Slr95 AK47 with one that has bayonet lug. Can you help with this little project? I dont have a press. Thank you.

[@dtingue]

where can i buy that cross bar set up? i pressed/ground off my FSB but having trouble stabilizing the 45 degree block on the press

[@JacobLush-lq1hm]

Are adjustable gas blocks offer pair with adjustable pistons? Or would I be fine with just a KNS and not go with the DAG

[@storminnormangunworks4911]

Whats the size of the reamer you used?

[@brandonjohnson6820]

What are those bars you used in conjunction with the press to press out the barrel?

[@nickserge9771]

What's that HK-looking handguard and gas tube you installed here? Thank you, bro.

[@bakernathan98]

The gas tube and handguard are for the amd 65 . The gas tube has no handguard retainers and the lower handguard is just a stamped piece of sheet metal. The gas tube is only for the amd 65. it will not except regular akm furniture with out modifying .

[@isaacrhodes4617]

I am having consistent failure to feed issues with my 5.56 AK, especially noticeable when I use .223 brass. It is less noticeable if at all when I use 556 ammo, would you say this is possibly a gassing issue? Also, tested through several magazine types and they all seem to have issues when it is .223

[@dennisk5054]

Would 1 ton press be enough to remove FSB from PSA AK-103? Thanks in advance!

[@jjsemperfi]

So I’m comparing this to the KNS piston and I like the idea of a block better. The piston just blows off gas into the atmosphere where as the gas block actually restricts gas from even entering the system. Gas Block should be quieter and cleaner running suppressed. I just wish they weren’t so damn expensive. I’m looking into making my own adjustable block at the moment.

[@GunsWithGage]

This is a much better option. But the BEST option is running an OSS suppressor. Using both makes a perfect combo. I have messed with a few design, and this is my favorite. I know the developer of the KNS system, I got to shoot on the same team in the Kalashbash competition this year. The adjustable piston is great for those who dont have the tools or know how to replace a front sight.

[@PrezUSMC]

​@GunsWithGage man I know you haven't posted in a while, but are you gonna shoot kalashbash in 2024?

[@RedneckBeach]

From your experience does it scar the barrel coating? I'm asking because I just bought a WASR-10 Romanian. Century Arms neutered the Ak and has no bayonet lug. I want to swap out the gas block so it can take a bayonet. Should I buy the a used surplus one for $35 and expect to refinish the AK -or- buy a $50 NEW unused gas block and install that and hope for perfection?

[@GunsWithGage]

Buy a surplus gas block for sure. The new one will damage your finish almost definitely. I wouldn't worry about the finish anyway though.

[@Svenhansson]

I thought about getting this but have been worried about this only being held in place by screws and not pinned in place. Is yours holding up solid?

[@mikeattel3011]

What stock adapter are you using?

[@GunsWithGage]

Rifle dynamics now, but in this video I had the strike industries adapter. The rifle dynamics part is way better.

[@sethcormier1586]

What is the stick adapter you used on the build?

[@GunsWithGage]

I used a strike industries adapter at first, but now I used the rifle dynamics part. It gives a much better cheek weld for optics. The definitive arms part is good as well

[@soldieroftoughlove7635]
