BBJones13 0 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Looking for a thread adapter (14x1LH to 5/8x24). My googling skills must be slipping. I want to mount a Battle Comp on my 7.62x39 AK. Any help is appreciated. Hoping to keep it under $35. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DINK 1 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 I would check with Mark McWillis at TROS. He's one of the foremost adapter manufacturers out there. www.trosusa.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 That will only work if you locktite the thing in place and don't plan to remove it. When you make a thread adapter with Right Hand threads on one end and Left Hand threads on the other, as you try to tighten one end down, it unscrews the other end.

A buddy recommended something other than locktite though. He said locktite was subject to weakening with heat and recommended something else (can't remember off the top of my head) that requires prolonged soaking in water to weaken its bond. Thanks guys for the responses. I will shoot Mark a note. If anyone sees one ready made, let me know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Rocksett possibly? You can get Locktite high temp up to 400 degrees. Rocksett is rated to 2,000 degrees peak, 700 degrees continuous. Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
