Hey y'all, so I'm working a deal for a MAK90 Sporter that was bubba'd pretty bad back in the day. As part of bringing it back, I'd like to convert it to a spiker. While I'm more of a gomsmif than a gunsmith, I do have a well equipped shop with a drill press, hydraulic press, etc. and I'm generally pretty mechanically inclined.
I see the front sight block and bayonet are available from Polytech Parts. Am I correct in assuming that all I need to do is remove the pins on the existing front sight, remove it in the press, press the new block on, install the pins, and call it good? It seem pretty straightforward and DIYable, but if there's some pitfalls or gotchas I'm not thinking about that are better left to a pro, please let me know. Thanks!
