[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Who does barrel threading, or how do I do it myself?

Posted: 9/24/2004 5:48:19 PM EDT

I have an SAR-1 and an SAR-2, want to get the barrels threaded on both. Problem is everybody I've E-mailed won't do LH threads, or does'nt do metric. I could do it myself if the OD is o.k. and if I could find a place that sells the proper dies. Also, what happened to InrangeC2 and Troy Sellars? Link in my favorites does'nt work anymore.

I am also interested in this. I want a slant muzzle break.

Send an email to this address [email protected]
to get on the waiting list to rent a 14X1 LH threading kit. Or go to

www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/ProductDetail.aspx?p=5735&title=AK+MUZZLE+BRAKE

www.dynasystems-ltd.com/GunFile/Products.html

and pay $50 to $60 for your own kit.

The wait on renting the kit is 5 weeks... The back order on the dynasystems die is 5 weeks.

Hope that helps

Thanks for the help and offers of tooling. I think I'll buy one of my own, 'cause I'm betting two or three of my buddies are gonna want it done too.

If you find a die that you don't have to wait 5 weeks to get, please let me know.

How much does the kit cost to rent?

I have a 1/2X28 threading kit that I used for my SAR 2 that includes the die, handle and alignment tool. You'll need this thread pitch for a 22mm thread adapter if you intend to put a brake on your SAR 2. I can loan it to you for whatever wjm is renting his for. E-mail me at [email protected].
