The thread is 14mm X 1mm left hand thread on AK-47's. You can use a thread restorer tool or a small triangle file (jewelers file) to repair the threads. The best way to repair the threads is to use  an actual die if you have access to one.

Some of the WASR's were not 14mmx1 left hand thread.  I believe Century threaded some of these rifles with an odd thread. They were not imported with the evil features, they were converted by Century and they could have threaded the barrels at the time and made the slant brake with any tap and die.  It was posted here at one time exactly what they were using on the rifles right after the ban ended and it wasn't 14x1 on all rifles converted at that time.

Also, if he bought this used and it was postban the previous owner probably used what they had available.
