bolt on thread adapter? does it exist?


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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 ... :(

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!
