I just bought one from AIM and want to have the bbl threaded 1/2x28 for my new can.  Being that I know nothing about AK's - can someone tell me what's involved in getting the barrel off and ready to be threaded?  Do I need any special tools?  Should I just send it out?

the new waser-2 that i have seen have the standard ak front end so you will need to thread it 14x1left hand DPH sales the thread die and the starter for 50.00

you dont need to take the barrel off to thread it. i used a barrel guide and did my WASR2 14x1 LH and added an AK74 brake. I rented all the stuff from someone on akforum. I THINK you should be able to thread it 1/2x28. 14mm is a little over 1/2" its like .55 inches

It may no longer be possible to rent the threading kits. However, they can be purchased. Take a look at this thread:

Really???  So the threads are concentric using this method?  The last thing I want is to destroy my suppresor with a baffle strike.

the kit i rented was from someone on another board. actually, it was more like borrowed. i dont think he was a actively renting it out. i saw he had threaded his barrel and asked if i may rent the tools from him and he agreed. i returned it about a week or so ago. the thread guide keeps the threads straight.
