Squishy 1,149 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I have a 14mmx1 adapter from CNC Warrior and a FSC30 comp from Primary Arms to install. This is probably a no brainer for the majority here who have more experience than myself. I understand that once I install the left hand threaded adapter and then the right hand threaded comp it will be turning against the adapter. The adapter has no flat sides, if it did it would be a matter of holding it with a standard wrench while tightening/indexing the comp. A friend mentioned using a "strap wrench" to tighten and hold the adapter. I prefer not to scratch anything up using my Bubba skills. How would you do this? Any Loctite called for?

JESS1344 508 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 SQUISHY, IS THE ADAPTER CONFIGURED SUCH THAT YOU MAY FILE OR MILL A COUPLE OF FLATS ON IT FOR A WRENCH? TO ASK WHAT MAY BE AN IGNUNT QUESTION, WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST GO WITH THE FSC47, IT'S ALREADY 14X1LH? THAT'S WHAT I HAVE ON MINE. JESS1344 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mainly because the FSC47 is billed as being for the AK47, or 7.62x39. The FSC30 is roughly an inch longer and weighs 1 ounce more. I figured it would be better for the 54r round.

paprotective 362 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 How bout prepping (aka shims) the FSC30 and use that to tighten up the adapter.. it has a flat for tightening.. Thats how some plumbers tighten multiple fittings together anyway.. When you get the adapter snug the way you want then start clocking the FSC... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squishy 1,149 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 The FSC30 does come with a set of shims but I'm not getting how what you're talking about will work. The FSC30 is right handed, the adapter is left handed so one will not tighten the other right? What am I missing? (and it's entirely possible I'm missing something) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paprotective 362 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Sorry I forgot the LH and RH issue.. I would say LEATHER on the adapter maybe with gentle turns till snug.. if you don't intend on removing then RED loctite on the adapter may due the trick.. If your FSB had index pins they would lock in the adapter (like the std AK has on most FSB's).. I would have emailed Dinzag and asked him before ordering the comp.. he may have been able to turn a smaller ID brake/comp to be 14LH and then no adapter would have been needed.. he did it for me and my Saiga 308.. I sent him the brake/comp and he reworked it to thread on for me.. Sorry.. not to many adapting on these.. my 54R wasn't factory threaded so I just threaded mine to 5/8-24R from the gate myself.

Squishy 1,149 Posted December 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 No problem, thanks for the input. I have a jam nut on the way from CNC Warrior to put behind the adapter. So I'll red Loctite it as you've suggested and then tighten the nut and hopefully that will hold it when the FSC30 goes on. The thought did cross my mind to have the barrel cut just enough to rethread as 5/8x24. Thing is, if it doesn't work out, no harm. If I can't get everything to stay put I can do the rethread thing on the barrel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jojo200517 68 Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 I vote the red loctite. If you ever need to take it off just warm it up with a heat gun, or mag dumps Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you ever need to take it off just warm it up with a heat gun, or mag dumps I've meant to check to see just how hot barrels get but I always forget my infrared thermometer. Anybody every measure the temps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
