Do me a favor and double check the Krebs safety, make sure you put it all the way through. Some make the mistake of not putting it in properly, all the way. Seems pretty odd it doesn't fit your WASR, it should slide right in just fine. As for it being 'too stiff' this is a normal/good thing, you can always bend it a bit to make it more 'buttery smooth' as you need (hell just like you can with the 'factory' safeties).
As for the muzzle brake, 14x1 left-hand threads are what standard AKM rifles use (probably what your WASR takes). I'm guessing you went with some 1/2-28 (AR-15 type) threaded brake... When I say 'standard' that really means the AKM (Type 4) pattern AKs out there, this is by no means the be all for every AK. I have 24x1.5mm right-hand threads on my AK, which is of the AK-100 pattern or style. |

Which Krebs Safety model is it?
They make one for stamped receivers and one for machined/ milled. |

It fits just fine, and I have the safety all the way through the retainer plate and the receiver. Its the channel that the hammer pin passes under is not lining up. The edge of the safety is contacting the hammer pin as you move it to the firing position. I should have taken some photos, as I am probably not doing a good job of explaining.
The flash hider is 14x1 left hand. It is just way too tight to thread on and starts deforming the barrel threads. By threading the factory brake on I was able to clean up the few damaged threads. |

Can you send the gun back? I doubt it. I have not even shot it yet. Bought it new locally, so there would be some hope maybe. Just not sure how the fitment of an aftermarket part would warrant the return of a firearm. I have an email in to Krebs, a Gunsmith is suppose to call me at some point today. |

If the factory muzzle nut/slant brake fits OK, I would guess that the Tapco FH is at fault. Maybe its threads were tapped with worn tooling. A smith may be able to chase the threads out with a 14x1LH tap and rescue it, but at the cost of gunsmith work you might as well just send it back and get something else.

Probably most likely issue with the brake is that it's Tapco. Damage industries has 50% off lots of muzzle devices right now for AK's

My Krebs safety was the opposite, way too loose on my WASR with a gap between the reciever and the safety. I ordered a Romy safety from Apex that works fine.

A2 FH with 14X1LH threads. I've gotten a few things from this place over the years, they make good stuff. If this one doesn't fit there may be a problem with the threads themselves, I've never heard of a WASR shipping with any thread pattern besides 14x1LH.

Finally shot my WASR. I was pleasantly supprised with 2" groups at 100 yards....when I did my part. I am still waiting on Krebs to call me...though it will not hurt my feelings too bad if I dont keep that safety. The factory one is smooth and I can operate it without having to completely remove my firing hand. Still researching flash hiders, and now brakes. The WASR does tend to punch me in the cheek a bit....120 rounds and I was done. shooting. Looking at PWS and Damage right now.

Krebs called me yesterday. I talked to them for a few minutes and they gave me some tips on how to make it fit. I got it in there and it clears the hammer pin, and I adjusted the detent so that it operated smoothly. Once I did this, noticed the edge of the safety would not go easily under the top cover in the safe position. So I twisted the safety a little bit and it fits. I will run it a while and see if I like it better than the factory safety.
