| I finally had a chance to measure the barrels on my 2 Maadis. These are both post-bans, and had the muzzle threads turned completely off. I checked in other threads and found out that you need a barrel outside diameter of about .50 inches to do a 1/2x28 threading. My two barrels measured out to about 7/16." I know this is not exact because I had to use a tape measure and eyeball it, but do I have any options for threading these barrels, or are they permanently doomed to be naked?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
| i seem to recall a pin-on threading adapter you could buy for post-ban rifles. although i hate to admit i dont remember where i saw them...try doin a search and they should come up. they were just like a pin-on muzzle break (like for on an SKS for example) but had threads so you could put on anything you wanted. good luck |
| It all depends on what you'll be doing with those evil threads. If just for cosmetics, thread it for whatever threading in 7/16 you can find cheap. If just a simple flash hider, you can turn it down a bit, drill out a 1/2x28 bolt and solder it on. If you need more critical alignment, turn it down, weld on a bushing, then thread between centers. |
| Thanks for the suggestions. Anyone have any other ideas? I think I may go with threading the barrel and fitting a "collar" or muzzle nut and then locking it in place, then threading the outside of that with a standard AK left hand. The hard part for me will be getting time to do it. Oh well, that'll be a project for summer break. |
