Im putting together a Saiga .223 build and I hit a wall when it came to suppressor compatibility. Plenty of people get by every day without suppressed rifles, this is not necessary. But if possible I'd like to have it as an option.
I am well aware that Red Jacket sells a FH/Suppressor combo that I believe would work with a Saiga .223. I have little interest. Id like to thread the muzzle for an AAC 51T FH and be able to move suppressors back and forth between AR uppers and this Saiga.
So thats the goal. Unfortunately, an AAC Mini or M4 is going to need some space behind the muzzle to mount. And Ill have a big front sight block in the way. So heres my question: Anybody know if I could lose the OEM front sight block and gas block on a .223 Saiga and install a 102/104 style gas block/FSB? I understand that to keep it kosher with the NFA I may need to bore the new gas block out so the barrel fits all the way through, modify the barrel somehow, (dimple?), to ensure proper fit and definitely get rid of the 24mm threads on the end. Im looking at this in particular:

Mainly Im wondering what the internal diameter of this gas block would be, what the OD of the barrel is and what type of attachment method this gas block uses. Ive seen similar builds on x39 AKs. Definitely possible. I may just need to piss away $120 on a gas block to find out.
Thanks for any info guys.
