So I have a few questions about shooting a M92 PAP AK47 pistol with a surefire socom 762rc suppressor...

How can i check to make sure i will not have a baffle strike? I know ak47s have issues with threads being concentric to the bore.
I have a usmachinegun thread adapter installed with a surefire flash hider suppressor mount on that.

Could i just run this 7.62x51mm barrel straightness gauge down the bore with the suppressor mounted and check for resistance?

Could i just send the whole gun with the usmachingun adapter and flashider mount installed to ADCO to be checked?

Does the timing really matter on a surefire flash hider mount?
I know brakes need to be timed.

Would shooting wolf or tula steel cased 7.62x39 through the can be an issue?

What happens if i have a baffle strike?
I doubt surefire would cover it all at no cost.

At the end of the day this may not even be worth it. I already have everything installed. I'm just afraid to pull the trigger and have a baffle strike.

Thanks for any input. I will obviously look into this more myself when i have time.

The suppressor cost twice (three times?) as much as the rifle.  Between that, and the fact that it's an AK and isn't going to suppress very well, I wouldn't do it.

This setup is screaming for a used Huntertown Armory can... so you don't have to feel bad when it doesn't work, or gets a baffle strike.

Mill the threads off the gas block and thread the actual barrel.

A close fitting dowel rod is an easy rudimentary way to at least see if its way off.
