Check the TAPCO line.  They have several muzzle brakes to select from and they are 922r compliant.
This is the one I just ordered:

Don't forget CNC Warrior. I've gotten most of my brakes from them. I think the quality is a little better with them, than Tapco.

Why is it so very hard to hot link?
Good instructions by the way.
You can avoid the "beauty marks" by chucking the barrel between two pieces of soft wood in a good vice and keeping two hands on the cut-off tool.
As one commentor stated, using a good Jewelers saw and a #1 cutting blade is faster, cleaner, and produces a more professional cut.

Not being a smart ass and I know it may be frustrating to some but care to share on how to do this?  This is the only forum I belong to that I can’t just copy and past a link and have it highlighted so others can click on it .  I know I’m probably missing something in the "how to section" but being an old curmudgeon and not all that computer literate, I need to be lead by the hand at time.  Help will be appreciated.

Did you get your muzzle nut off?

I cut mine off last winter, and found out it was un-threaded underneath.

Now I need to figure out if I need to go with a threaded Romanian FSB, which pretty much limits me to a 74-style brake, or if I've got enough meat on there to get it tapped and threaded to a common pitch for various devices. (I think I'd like my WASR to wear a traditional slant brake).

My SAR 2 with the 5.45 barrel was too skinny for any manner of threading, so I had to cut the whole FSB off, and pound/pin a new Romanian threaded one from K-Var on then get a CNC Warrior 22mm Romy style 74 brake.

In order to thread the barrel 14X1 the diameter must be at least .550.

Before I start this project can anyone tell me if the WASR muzzle is threaded?  
9/11/2011 10:46:34 AM EDT
[#17]
If it's a WASR 10/63 and it has the detent spring and plunger which locks the nut or compensator, it probably has a threaded barrel.
If it's a WASR made before 2005 and the detent and spring is missing, it probably doesn't have a threaded muzzle.

It has the detent spring and plunger.

You can always tack weld the slant brake in place if you can't thread your barrel correctly.
