[ARCHIVED THREAD] - slant break removeable on AK

Posted: 7/2/2003 6:35:33 PM EDT

I have a preban AK with a slanted break. I tried to replace the break with another type of compensator, but it doesn't want to unscrew. I push the detent button in and try to unscrew it counter cw. Since it won't come off with hand pressure, should I use a barrel wrench? Being preban, this thing wouldn't be soldered on, would it? Thanks much!

What kind of AK is it? Are you sure it's pre-ban?

It is a RAI, ser # 8701xxx. I purchased it from a policeman and he provided me with a letter from the company. It has the Royal Arms International stamp and was imported on Nov 6, 1987 from China Jing,Import& Export. It was sold the same year to Christopher Leland Co. and then to B& B Group of North Hollywood, CA.

It will be left-hand threaded, so you're tightening it. Turn it the opposite way and it should come off.

Exactly right. Facing the muzzle, turn the brake to the right (clockwise).
