Well,
I have a feeling you have got what happened to me. Take a good look at the threads. The standard is 14mm x 1 LH. When this happened to me, I discovered the threads on mine were in fact 1/2-20 RH. I have yet been unable to find one in that thread. I ended up taking an old AR brake and getting re-threaded to fit it. |

I had a friend in a local Machine shop do it for me.
I got harped at for putting the AR flashider on there but it suits my purpose.

I've already heard that quite a few of the WASR10s coming out of Century have bad threading on the muzzle. The threads are so bad that a 14mm "74" type muzzle brake is interferring with the trajectory of the bullet as it exits the barrel.
If you are considering a muzzle attachment, you may want to consider just going with a slant cut brake, or send the rifle back for a refund. KF |

Well, I am trying to get a muzzle brake that will fit the threads, I just can't seem to find one. I want to just stick the slant back on, but I need one that isn't destroyed. Ideas where I can find one of the 1/2" by 20 RHs?

Well,
The one I got had really great threads on it, just the wrong thread and direction. I contacted CAI to see if they would sell me a new slant brake for it and they wouldn't. I talked to Jimmy (I think was his name) a Global and he said he might be able to make one for me. I've emailed him a couple times but haven't gotten a response back yet. |

Global? What is the full company name? I have tried contacting Century Arms Int a bunch of times but have basically gone in circles. It seems to me that if they want to put really odd threads on the thing they should at least sell a muzzle brake that fits on them. Especially considering I had to remove it due to a HEAVILY CANTED FSB.

Alright thanks for the info. I am going to look around and see if I can find anyone to make or sell me a brake that will actually fit on here.

My brother recently picked up a GP WASR-10 at a gunshow and it is threaded 14mm x 1 LH . Need to double check if the bullet has been hitting the 74 brake at all.
