Hey everyone, Ok I am in the process of gathering parts for a Saiga 5.45 to AK74 conversion. In the long run I want my muzzle to include the true AK74 muzzle brake with a bayonet lug. The hangup I'm having is that I want the front sight to be a flip-up sight so it doesn't get in the way when I add a red dot rear sight in the future. Here is what I want but with some kind of flip up front sight:
I've emailed Dinzag and he told me the only option he has it to buy the muzzle brake attachment that has the bayo lug then hack the front sight off and mount a picatinny rail on it then add a flip up front sight. Dinzag's muzzle brake attachment looks like this:
There must be a better way so I was thinking if I get something that looks like this, that has the bayo lug on it already I can then thread the muzzle and add a AK74 style muzzle brake in the future:
This is all assuming the Saiga muzzle brake is held together by pins and can come off pretty easy. If not it looks like I'm hacking away no matter what.
