danner240 0 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I am planning on threading my Romanian Wasr-10, I took off the barrel nut expecting threads and no threads. I plan on using the CNC warrior kit I ordered. My problem is that there is too much barrel shroud exposed and I cannot find a good part to space between my FSC muzzle break once I do thread this AK. I'm also worried about timing the threads. Thought this would be less of a problem but with excess exposure of the barrel its really put a hault to my project. I have up loaded several pictures with the muzzle brake in which you can see the barrel pertruding into the brake and the other without the break. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) In this situation I would probably have a smith cut & recrown the muzzle to the proper length and do the threading for you all in one shot. Make sure that it can be threaded to 1/2x28 before you do anything - this is typically what people do with machined-down muzzle threads. This limits you from using most typical AK muzzle devices, but there are quite a few made specifically for this purpose, especially from CNC Warrior, who offers a number of typical AK muzzle devices threaded for 1/2x28. Timing the threads is not usually a big deal, since AKM muzzle devices have a detent pin on them. I would suggest you look for a muzzle device that has multiple detent pin cuts on it, but this sort of limits you to non-directional muzzle devices such as birdcage flash hiders. The usual method for adjusting a loose muzzle device is to insert a metallic or teflon washer, or simply file the back side of the muzzle device until it's able to time up with the detent pin and sit tight against the FSB.. It looks like you'll also need the FSB plunger & spring. Edited October 2, 2012 by mancat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlenderWizard 12 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 If it is not threaded and it already fits up in the brake, you don't have enough meat on the barrel to thread it. It looks like one of those that has had the threads spun off of it. Sorry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrThunder88 912 Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I've also seen 7.62x39mm ARs with muzzles threaded for 1/2"-36, which is also the threading for some 9mm ARs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SgtTimC 0 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 Are there any other solutions for attaching muzzle brakes and if I have my barrel crowned and threaded will my barrel be legal length? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VR762Shooter 838 Posted February 28, 2013 Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 If you had a brake or other device that fit snug to the barrel you could have it pressed on and pinned in place, not the best way to go but it should work. In your situation that likely wouldnt work, as yours slides on far too easily Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SgtTimC 0 Posted March 1, 2013 Report Share Posted March 1, 2013 I tried an adapter that tightened with set screws but wouldn't stay on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
