Okay, I now have my new MAK 90 and I will be threading the muzzle. I'll measure the diameter next week, so I know if I can thread it at 14x1mm LH (desired if its .551") or 1/2x28 RH (if its closer to .500"). I will be renting one of WJM's threading kits to do it. Only reason I'm not sure of the thread size - I measured three MAK 90's at a local gun shop - they were all very close to .500", which is too small for 14x1 threads. I'm hoping the MAK 90 I picked up has a slightly larger diameter. I am deciding between these two flash hiders currently: 24x1.5mm RH threaded Bulgarian FH  or this US Made 14x1mm LH FH  Obviously the top FH will require a thread adapter from 14x1mm to 24x1.5mm - but those are only about $10. My MAK 90 is not drilled out for the retainer pin/spring in the FSB. Or if it used to be - its been welded over and ground down. My question is - can I just use red loctite to secure the FH to the muzzle threads, or should I see about getting the FSB drilled for a retainer pin and spring? |
| Or if the adaptor and fh combo has a gap near the front of the adaptor, you don't want a nook that is hard to clean. A combination sealant/filler in the form of std 600deg slow set JBWeld may be good. You can light a cigarette with less temp, but I've never known anybody to use it in place of silver solder [crickets] |
