[QUOTE="zghorner, post: 2720376, member: 35089"] ive fixed several...it can be incredibly easy or not so easy. if it is a century built gun then chances are its an easy fix. 1. field strip the gun including taking off the gas tube and muzzle break. 2. mark with a pen or make a small scratch or something that shows the current alignment of the front sight base (FSB) on the barrel. 3. Drive out the 2 small pins un the underside of the FSB. Note that the front pin is what holds the detent pin for your muzzle break and has a small spring behind it. take out both of those pieces and set aside. 4. lay your barrel on a 2x4 or similar piece of wood, I usually put a towel over the wood just because. 5. with a RUBBER mallet, tap or whack if needed the front sight base in the direction of correction. Reference your marks made prior to driving the pins out to see how much it moves. It should not require more than 1/8-1/4". If you have a proven laser muzzle or bore sight it could be useful for this. 6. Drive the pins back in. Do not forget the muzzle detent pin and spring before driving in the front FSB pin. 7. Reassemble and go shoot to verify. If you scratch anything up don't worry. Low gloss black engine enamel matches most factory painted AKs and saigas perfectly and is surprisingly durable. [/QUOTE]
