Options for Non-Threaded Barrels

[thehun 20]

So I got my Saiga 7.62mm and I love it so far. I got a Dimpled receiver and stepped bullet chamber, however i do not think i got threaded barrel. What is my option to add a Krinkov style muzzle brake on it?

 

So far I've added TAPCO Stock set in Dark Earth and UTG quad rail with TAPCO Dark Earth fore grip..Looks awesome and very sturdy. That UTG Quad Rail is not moving anywhere and all the TAPCO parts fit great.

I dont know about krinkov styles, unless you are just dead set on them you might want to check out the flash hiders and muzzle brakes DPH has to offer. They have a system to attach muzzle bakes and hiders without threading.

Im from Europe and I always wanted and AK with Krinkov Muzzle. They sound amazing or bulgarian 4pc

I agree about the DPH idea, they are redesigning to a coffin style for brakes..although dinzag also offers kits for threading a barrel with plenty of tutorials from the guys here so you got a couple options.

I thought DPH was making 74 style brakes not krinkov though. Been a while since I checked his site. Is it legal to thread the barrel in your area?

[thehun 20]

Yep

[GregM1 241]

That might be your best option then. That or pick up a front sight block with 24x1.5mm threads.

can i just get this clip and use 24mmx1.5 brakes?

Not sure about the improved clip, but I know I ordered one a while back, and it fit horribly and was not indexed properly. It just looked like a cop out. Like people who bolt on an Intrafuse stock instead of converting. Just do it the right way, either get a threaded FSB or cut the collar and thread the barrel.

Something I've been wondering;

instead of cutting the shroud and threading the barrel 14x1 can you skip that step and thread the shroud 24x1.5? Just curious.

Photo,

That's a question I've always had. I'm surprised with all the innovation way no one ever tried attaching a flash hider on the extended shroud?

I wouldn't trust it to be strait enough to mount a break on it, but maybe a flash hider. The problem is (if I remember correctly) that it is a cast piece not a machined piece like the barrel. It is really easy to cut the shroud and thread the barrel, then if you want 24mm threads just use an adapter. Or the best method would be to us a 24mm FSB, then you would have the indexing pin.

It's surprisingly easy to swap an FSB, but you will want to read a tutorial and have the right (few) tools.

 

I would recommend against permanently attaching a brake, because in my opinion, it's annoying when it comes to cleaning.

Some people have no option but to permanently attach, due to legal reasons.
