| I have a WASR 10 and a SAR1 that don't have threaded barrels. I would like to add a slant brake to each one. From what I've read/heard Romanians have 14x1 Left handed threading. Should I rent a kit off the ee and thread it with this or go with another threading? What's common practice on this? Would I just need to buy a detent spring and denent to install it? Anyone got a how-to on installing a brake? I know it should be a no brainer but it's my first time dealing with AKs. |

I rented a set off of another site back when the ban dropped. I just lubed everything up with breakfree and slowly threaded the barrel. It turned out just fine and the slant brake screwed on to the new threads with out a problem. If you can rent it from EE then thats the way to go... |
| I rented one to thread my SAR-1. Make sure there is a spud to fit in the barrel. That will properly align the die with the bore. I rented the die & spud, bought some oil. Just remember to cut a little, back it off, clean out the chips and thread a little more. If you flip the die over, you can continue the threads right to the FSB. I had a hell of a time removing the pin so I could install the retainer. I ended up having to heat it up with a torch. In the process, it very nicely blackened the oil that I had put on the threads to keep them from rusting. |
