yellowcarbon 4 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Unfortunely, it can be anything from 14/1LH to 17mm to 5/8x24. I had King Armory (kingarmory.com) to thread mine to 5/8x24. It is the same thread pattern as an AR-10, which allows me to use any muzzle attachments in a popular thread pattern. I picked that because I have a YHM Phantom sound suppressor that is at my dealer waiting for paperwork to clear. One of the quick detach flash hiders that YHM offers is in the 5/8-24 AR-10 thread pattern. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yellowcarbon 4 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) There is some great info & products on the Dinzag site. I am not sure what King Armory did to my barrel, but I am assuming it needed to be turned down slightly to be threaded to 5/8x24. So I don't know if you can do it yourself. Also, if you are ever considering getting a sound suppressor, pay the fiddler (in this case King Armory) to thread it concentric to the bore.

I used 17x1 RH with .30 cal (7.62) TAT - for my 308 wood furniture Saiga with 0.671" and my 30-06 Saiga as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3balltony 0 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Following the instructions on Danzags site I ordered a 5/8x24 adjustable die from brownells, removed my FSB reamed it out reset it and threaded the muzzle myself for a YHM Phantom. You can also rent a kit from him to do it yourself or ship the gun to him and he will do it his prices are resonable and his work is excellent. Karl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
