Barrels are really hard to find at the moment, could I take a barrel that’s been drilled & weld over the port then re-drill where I want it?įinally, I’d like to “roll my own” barrel shroud to comply with the 16” barrel requirement of my state, does anyone make an AK barrel shroud like the XBS? Or could I repurpose one for my build? Something I could cut down & have threaded, and drill my own gas port. I would also need to source a threaded barrel with the appropriate gas port drilled or a virgin barrel for my build. Has anyone attempted that, and would it require a form 4 for such a device? Is there one that’s preferable for a suppressor? Would really love to modify the block and add a set screw so I can adjust the gas pressure feeding back to my piston, has anyone done this w/ this block? I also have an idea for a “secondary suppressor” on the gas block vents to reduce the sound signature from the venting. Picked up a Hungarian AMD-65 parts kit (my first) & in the “true spirit” of the rifle, I’m going about suppressing it and turning it into a tactical (not tacti-cool) home defense rifle!īut theres a few hang-ups… I’m thinking of sticking with the original short stoke gas system, I want to throw on a Bolton combo block and drill my own 90 or 45 degree gas port? The new blocks have provisions for either. I’m a new member here and have a unique project I’m working on.
