I recently got myself an SLR-100 with a welded muzzle cap (Clinton ban era). I want to deban it and put a muzzle device on but it's been extremely problematic so far. I dremeled off the cap which cause some loss of finish on the front sight block, and the front sight block pin for locking in the muzzle device is stuck inside the block. I want to refinish it, fix the spring, and get my muzzle device installed.
Getting the FSB off has been totally impossible. I tried a hammer for a while with no luck. I then bought a 12-ton press from Harbor Freight and some AR press tools and last night I tried to press it off. It literally broke the brass cap that is used to protect the barrel crown and now the crown is damaged. Working on AK's is apparently not my jam.
Im looking for a local smith than can help me get this done without costing an arm and a leg. Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
