romad7 75 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Anyone know the thread size for the gas piston rod? I chopped mine off and lost the threaded portion so I would like to go buy a bolt to screw into the cavity in the end of the bolt carrier and cut it flush then weld it.

romad7 75 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 (edited) Like this but instead of a nicely machined end that I will just cut off, I'll just use a simple bolt. <br /> <br /> <a href='http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-1284/Tromix-Saiga-12-shorty/Detail'>http://store.carolinashooterssupply.com/servlet/-strse-1284/Tromix-Saiga-12-shorty/Detail</a> So I just need the thread dimensions from that part.

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Yes it's a standard AK gas piston thread size. You can get the tap from akbuilder or Brownells, if for any reason you need one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
romad7 75 Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Excellent, good to know. Thanks guys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
haugpatr 972 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yes, why not? I thought you were going to try and use a long bolt as a gas piston, makes sense for a SBS set up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
