The Romanian threaded FSB threads are 22mm which is smaller than the 24mm threaded FSB, which the Russians and Bulgarians use. ( this item is a mix of style 1 and style 2, flat bottom behind bayonet lug, no ridge, and ones with ridge. these come from stamped model Ak rifles Style 1 has a lip after bayonet lug, style 2 is flat all the way back. Yes, the bayonet lug is on the FSB, because with the '74 brake attached the lug on the bottom of the 74 FSB is where the bayonet attaches and the ring fits over the 74 brake end. These are all interchangeable, I just try my best to identify them. You can see the bayonet lug on the FSB.Īre you sure an SAR 2's barrel is not big enough to be threaded 14 x 1 mm and that the bayonet lug is on the FSB?Īs far as i understand the SAR 2 barrel diameter is the same as the AR15 barrel diameter which is 1/2x28 threads. In this pic is a Romanian '74 with both lugs.
The real bayonet lug for the '74 is on the FSB.Ī/media2/Rom74025.jpg The gas block lug on the AK-74's was meant to mount a grenade launcher onto. Romanian SAR 2's barrel has the same diameter as an AR15 barrel i think, so it's not big enough to be threaded for a 14x1mm muzzle attachment. The original muzzle threads were ground down to comply with the AWB.That flashhider in the link was meant for a 14x1 threaded barrel. The SAR2 essentially functions the same as an AK-47 however the cartridge used is the AK-74 5.45X39mm which is a flatter shooting, lighter recoiling round than the 7.62X39mm.

I am using a Russian manufactured Kobra red dot sight mounted on the side rail. thats another story), so it was one of the many that were still on the market that were missing these items. I purchased this rifle shortly after the expiration of the ban (which mainly targeted small cosmetic things. This rifle is from the "Assault Weapon Ban" era so its missing certain "evil" features, like a compensator, threaded barrel, and bayonet lug.
Without this modification, only low capacity (5 or 10 round, single stack) magazines can be used. After the adoption of the 6X2 bayonet, many of pre-55 AKs (Type 1 and Type 2) were retrofitted to take a bayonet. Prior to 1955, AKs didn’t even have a provision for a bayonet. The magazine wells on these kits were enlarged by Century to accommodate high capacity magazines. The 6X2 is the first AK bayonet adopted by the Soviet Union in 1955 (with the Type 3 rifles). This particular rifle was manufactured by Century International Arms from parts kits imported from Romania. The AK-74 is practically identical to the -47, but it fires a smaller 5.45x39mm round. The rifle has undergone various updates over the years. It was officially adopted by the Soviet Union in 1947, hence the -47 designation. Externally it resembles the StG44, but its internals are similar to that of the M1 Garand. The AK-47 was designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov after he examined the design of the German StG44 submachine gun which was used during World War II by the Germans.
