Looking to put a flash hider on my SA85M. The original threads have been machined off.
OD barrel diameter is .545. Any suggestions since barrel is too small now to use standard 14 x 1mm threads. Anyone know of a 7.62 FH threaded in this size? From what I can tell, my only option may be a 5.56 and have it bored to 7.62 size. Opinions are appreciated |

thread it to AR threads. There are companies out there that sell AK comps in that thread pattern, I don't know who b/c I have never bought a rifle that needed this. google-fu produced this: http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&q=1/2%22-28+ak+flash+hider&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=C2wLS4zmEM-ztgebjajRAg&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=6&ved=0CCIQrQQwBQ |

CNC Warrior produces a few muzzle devices in 1/2-28 thread. http://www.cncwarrior.com/comersus/store/comersus_listItems.asp?idCategory=64 |

You have some choices, threading to the AR-15 standard 1/2-28 and screwing on a brake, or screwing on an adapter that will allow you to attach most any AK brakes.
As example with an adapter you can attach any AK standard attachment or the AK-74 large diameter thread AK-74 brake. For locking pins and springs: http://www.k-var.com/shop/home.php?cat=303 |
