BK201 8 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Hey, quick question folks: Does anyone know for certain what the surplus amd65 muzzle brake's threads are? https://www.apexgunparts.com/product_info.php/cPath/21_69/products_id/453 i hear the tapco extension on the rifles civies buy are 14x1 LH, and it would seem common sense that the surplus brake is threaded the same, but i do want to make sure, because i have this idea to [oh come on now, i cant tell you that.. nobody else has done this yet.. no its not going on an amd] and with those parts being 10 bucks a piece, i figure i could get a couple of them if my idea is correct. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
m1lk 26 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) yes it is 14x1lh as for playing around with an amd brake, i have tried cutting one up and welding it to the front of an ak74 brake to see if i can make a loud brake even louder. it came out pretty ugly and i scrapped using it, but if you wanna play around with this idea as well please tell us the results Edited November 23, 2012 by m1lk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BK201 8 Posted November 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 well i wouldnt be cutting anything up or welding anything. im currently working on an unrelated project [the stock to a mosin is being stained and is actually hanging a couple feet from me] but when i get around to it ill make sure to document and share, just in case anyone else is interested in the idea. how do you mean by "it came out pretty ugly"? just didnt match all that well?

mostholycerebus 415 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 If you are looking for a longer one, AMD65tech welds them together for a longer one in two sizes. Its a product so presumably looks nicer than a garage weld job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BK201 8 Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Wait, so you didnt screw it on threads? That might help if you threaded the barrel. For my project i will have to do that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
