jergoff 1 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Is there a way to bolt on a thread adapter without cutting/threading the barrel? Something that either has set screws or will bolt around the front sight? Where can I find such a thing? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jergoff 1 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Check with cnc warrior Those all appear the be threaded on the inside. I sent an email to cnc just to verify. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigChongus 765 Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Don't waste your time with a bolt-on adapter. It will eventually end up down range. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tarheel72 16 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Well the short answer to your question is yes. If you check out the vendor section you will see DPH. They used to make one and you can find several threads about it, including this one: http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?/topic/37472-is-this-how-the-clip-on-hider-is-supposed-to-fit/. There is a lot of discussion around this adaptor. As best I can determine there were some defective ones produced that had to be replaced. And also they do not work with a muzzle brake, only flash supressors, due to the pressues that can build up. The adaptor clips onto the barrel and the threads do not extend 360 degrees. They were going to make a two piece one that would clamp on and completely encircle the barrel but they were never able to do it in a cost effective manner. So I don't think they make any of them anymore. But I can tell you that it does work. I found one for sale and bought it from another forum member several years ago. I got the clip on adaptor and the phantom flash supressor and have had zero problems with it. I used a dowel and confirmed that the Phantom was lined up with the barrel so there was no interference with the bullet. And I check it often to be sure it remains tightly screwed on, but so far it has never been loose. In short it has worked for me. If you can find one for sale it might be worth trying out. I paid $50 for mine and so far it is worth it to me. YMMV. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jergoff 1 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 That's exactly the kind of thing I was looking for, Tarheel. I do agree about the bolt-on devices being found down range. I did have a bolt-on muzzle brake and the screws broke after about 50 rounds. But Tarheel is saying that thing works pretty well. I'll see if I can track one down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sdustin 578 Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Its not that hard to change the front sight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mbjku 0 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) Don't waste your time with a bolt-on adapter. It will eventually end up down range. This is partually true, they are end up down range because people having no clue about thread locker or using China made fakes. I checked bolts after first 500 rounds, nothing got loose on mine US made Guntec bolt-on muzzle brake. Perfect product but quiet expensive ... http://www.kenarnoldcsa.com/guntecusasaiga223545x39762x39qdboltonsteelmuzzlebrakeusmade.aspx BTW mine is latest version with 4 bolts instead of 2 as before. Thread locker is a must on any bolt or screw on my Saiga's! Edited September 7, 2014 by mbjku Quote Link to post Share on other sites
