So, I have a Pre-Ban Norinco Type 56 and I'd like to know if anyone has any experience with removing the front sight block or gas block. My understanding is that this task is much easier with some AKs than with others.
I'm attempting to install a Magpul Zhukov handguard, and the handguard retainer and sling mount need to be removed. A lot of people just cut these parts off, but since this is a semi-rare piece, I'd prefer to retain the parts rather than destroy them.
I understand there are a LOT of AK purists out there, even more when it comes to pre-bans, but to each their own.
