Any ideas?  Anybody accomplish this before?

thread it for 1/2x28, unless there's enough there to thread for 14x1lh

But isn't the original "diameter" gone?

An original 14x1 LH slantbrake just slides on and off, bbl seems too thin now for rethreading.

check the barrel diameter, you might be able to do 1/2x28 without much trouble

It's 15/32's, or a little over 7/16ths

Make a 14mm diameter ring and thread it for 14x1 LH and bore the ID of the ring the same as the OD of the turned down barrel. Then silver solder in place. It's the only thing I can think of.

Do the 1/2x28 thread. I just did my WASR 10 and it turned out great. Global Trades have come up with quite a few suppressors and breaks with this type of thread.Madtechcool

If you have access to a good machinist ,and a good selection of tooling you might consider having a double threaded adaptor made.
Find out what the actual diameter of the turned down nub is and thread the nub, then have a tightly sized "tube" threaded to match the now threaded nub on the I.D., and have the appropriate thread on the O.D. (Probably 14mm x 1 L.H.). Silver solder all of it together.
If everything is tight to start with, I can't see how this would shoot worse than the original nub, possibly better because of the added support.
And let's face it, we aren't talking Benchrest quality accuracy to start with.

Thanks guys!  Global Trades, make a sleeve, 1/2x28, thanks for the options.

What about JB weld? Don't they advertise that it can be threaded after it cures?

     JB Weld will work with some things but put under stress, it lets go. I wouldn't trust it.Madtechcool

Slip the slant break over it drill a slight hole and tac weld to the barrel or drill a small hole on the bottom of the break into the barrel and lock tight a set screw.

I've heard that it can used to repair an engine block. Is that claim more or less bunk?

 If the area to be fixed is spotless, grease and oil free, and it needs a rough surface to adhere to. Cleanliness is the factor. Build it up in thin layers with plenty of hours to dry between layers. 3-5 layers built up should hold the pressure. Remember that word, cleanliness, plus that rough, porous surface to adhere to.

       I'm willin' to bet that your muzzle will take the 1/2x28 thread. Once threaded, it looks small bit I'm sure that you can save that muzzle without riggin' sleeves and shims and whatnot. Don't spend that money if ya don't have to. My WASR 10 turned out slicker than snot on a stick shift. Try it, you'll like it.Madtechcool
