| After
you have acquired the necessary tools and parts
you must first install the plunger system that locks
the brake onto the rifle. |
| Take
a look at the front sight block on your rifle and
look at it from the front; you will notice that
there is a hole above where the barrel fits. This
hole is for the Retainer pin that locks the compensator
in place, but it's missing so we must put it together.
The rear hole is where you insert all the parts
from, the front hole is where the plunger comes
out. |
|
|
Take
the spring and retainer pin that came with package
AK205 that you ordered from K-VAR and drop the retainer
pin in, with the open end facing to towards the
rear of the front sight block down into the hole,
now drop the spring down inside the hole also. View
the picture if you need help. (NOTE: The picture
to the left is of a threaded front site block, the
instalation procedure of the pin should be the same) |
| Next we
need to lock the piece in place, take part number
AK256 that you ordered from K-VAR and put it in
the small hole circled, use a small punch to put
it in place, you may have to use another punch to
push the spring out of the way, make sure that the
compensator retaining pin and spring are still inside
the front sight block. When the pin is in place
push in on the compensator retainer pin, if you
did this correctly it should have some spring tension
behind it. The ends of part number AK256 should
be cupped out to hold itself in place, to secure
it we must flatten both ends on each side. Look
at the picture below.(NOTE: The picture below is
of a threaded front site block, the instalation
procedure of the pin should be the same) |
 |
Now
you need to flatten the ends of the pin out so you
must place one side of the pin against a flat hard
metal object and tap of the opposite side with a
pin punch to get it to flatten out, when you are
finished on one side switch sides and do the other.
View the picture to get an idea of what it should
look like.

|
If
you did it correctly then your Front Site Block
should look like the one pictured to the left. The
area circled in red is the pin in the extended position. |
