  1. Thanks for the responses. I know a lathe would be the way to go, but I don't have access to one and I really don't want to press the barrel out. I just wanted to make sure that the barrel OD was within the realistic tolerance of the 14mm die. I was looking at cncwarrior for the die and TAT as well as a an 11 degree crowning tool. Their prices are good and I hear them mentioned frequently so I assume the tools are of decent quality.

I know that the right way to do this would be to use and annular cutter to reduce the barrel OD before threading. I just wanted to know if anyone had successfully threaded their Saiga barrel using just the die without

I'm fairly new to the AK world, and although I can find bits of answers to my problem, I'm still confused. I'm hoping that some of the experienced shooter on this sight can help me out. My first Saiga purchase was an S12 earlier this year. I tackled the conversion myself, had a lot of fun and was very pleased with the outcome. I already had an AR, so I figured my next purcha
