mr7q 0 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 My Saiga met all the requirements and sure enough, a bit of work with a pipe cutter and I exposed threads underneath. Installed a J-Tac 47 brake on there with a crush washer. I made sure to measure the depth of thread on the brake before setting the pipe cutter, though. If I had cut as far back as possible, I would have bottomed the thread of the compensator before getting to the crush washer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RomanTPA 0 Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Does this mean I have a threaded barrel? http://i.imgur.com/ZWZ0m.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Foxtail207 23 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Does this mean I have a threaded barrel? http://i.imgur.com/ZWZ0m.jpg From what I've seen... not necessarily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Porklops 5 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 bored and its snowing like a sumnabitch outside so i figured it was time to dremel off my shroud on my 2009 7.62 and behold!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BillyBeamon 0 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Awsome I did the same last weekend and was happy to see clean threads too. I knew it was threaded but mine were clean like yours no epoxy junk on them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tram 11 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I wonder if these could be tracked back to the lot based on serial numbers? Both the models I picked up today are 09' models and we are hoping they are threaded.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gasper44 3 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I have an 09 as well. About to order a Slant Brake this week for it. By end of barrell, it looks threaded as it has a clear space between sleeve and is not tapered to the very edge like the supposed non threaded ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pfbz 3 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 (edited) I just found this thread. Great info! I just bought and converted my first Saiga, purchased a few weeks ago from Bud's. It's an H09 serial number (7.62), has dimples & hg slots, a beveled/rounded external circumference on the chamber-side of the barrel, but most importantly, it sure looks like you can see threads in the gap between the shroud and the barrel! Cool! So is there any consensus on the 'best' way to trim off the shroud? Pipe cutters, dremels, and fine-tooth hacksaws seem to be the methods I've seen posted.

mitchskill 6 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 yep i have a 09 with factory threaded barrel too 7.62 x39 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebobrusso 27 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 new adapter http://www.cncwarrior.com/shop/24955-saiga-m24-muzzle-adapter/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pfbz 3 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 new adapter http://www.cncwarrio...muzzle-adapter/ Looks like a nice part. When the barrel shroud is cut off with a pipe cutter to expose the barrel, a length of the shroud normally remains in front of the sight block. (see pic with pipe cutter in it). This adapter covers that portion of the barrel shroud and provides a standard 24mm X 1.5 thread to fit many modern muzzle devices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IPSC45 8 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 OK.... entering this really old thread. I will be looking at/for threads too pretty soon....but my rilfe is a 5.45. How are you guys getting so precise on buld dates? I have an H09XXXX, etc serial number.....meaning 2009 production. But how do you get month or even day? My "green" book I got shows an April,2011 ( ! ) date.....apparently the date the gun was "proofed" at a gov't proof house. Has nothing to do with build date. How'd you do it ?..........

Jaba1017 71 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 If you don't see threads, you don't have a threads. My 7.62x39 had the dates and all the other indicators, but no threads. Don't circumcise the rifle unless you're looking to thread it if no threads are there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IPSC45 8 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Again.....how are people determining the *precise* build-date?....are you sure it isn't the final inspection or "proof" date stamped inside one of the 2 green books you get with the rifle?....See my post #193 above.

I'm asking about BUILD DATES......that so many have posted about here.....HOW DO YOU KNOW BUILD DATES?...... So I say again...... how does your answer about whether or not 5.45 guns have THREADS.....has *anything* to do with the related topic of BUILD-DATES that many bring up on THIS thread ???? ?????..... DA indeed. Why can't people just get along?.....or be able to simply understand questions.? Too much coffee to get real aggressive?

IPSC45 8 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) Notice that I NEVER ASKED ABOUT THREADS..... DID I? What's that got to do with the price of strawberries? ( .....DA back at ya !!!!.....aggressive pup,aren't ya ?....what the h%ll set you off ???). I was asking about build dates ( month/day/year)....did you even READ what I said about the manuals I got with the gun?....of course not. Many guys are saying day/month/year of their build dates. My serial number is H09XXXX, etc....that makes it 2009 (year). That's as far as it goes. My manual shows an April, 29, 2011 proof or quality acceptance stamp on the book....this is NOT the build date. Box has NO build date on it. I never ASKED if 5.45 have/not have threads outside my opening statement. Having threads wasn't a question I put out there. Some people.... Anybody else?.....looking for a civil exhange.

The *reason* I ask about build dates is NONE of your concern.......I have no need to explain myself to you. Maybe I am a serious student of firearms history and design....did you ever think about that possibility? No,of course not....it doesn't *fit* your idea of what guys *should* do.

IPSC45 8 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 So you speak for everyone else now....is that it? As I said.....gun shows '09 build year (via H09XXXX serial number)..and a 2011 acceptance stamp in the book. With this big a gap, ....as it seems sometmes happens....it doesn't make sense...even though I know what you're saying. Peace..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With this big a gap, ....as it seems sometmes happens....it doesn't make sense...even though I know what you're saying. Peace..... No I don't speak for everyone, I speak from experience. I have restored over 15 Saiga's, currently own 2 S12's, two 223's, two 7.62's, and a 5.45 along with other AK brands. I've been exposed to some of the finest Saiga builders out there, and they willing share their knowledge with me. Why don't you start a separate build date topic and get off the threaded barrel thread? Peace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IPSC45 8 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 (edited) All i was looking for is an answer to a build-date question....that SO MANY here ( on this thread) have commented-on. It was a proper place to ask the question, seeing all those that responded. I didn't expect this mountain-out-of-a-molehill response. Your background credentials are seemingly impressive.....but you can come out of the gate with less "swinging" as part of your first response... Sure....I could have started another thread....but the answers were already here, based on what was said by so many. Besides..not many of these threads keep on-topic without some side-trips anyway...and no one seems to care. Edited June 17, 2012 by IPSC45 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
