I have a Romak 2 with a not threaded muzzle that I am going to thread 1/2-28 and use an adapter to make it 24mm so that I can use a real AK74 brake.
If you do not mind telling, what did you give for it?dalesimpson said:I got it. The first thing it needs is a good cleaning and a pistol grip and buttstock. Oh yeah, I have to replace the upper handguard too because it is broken. Luckily I have a nice set of AK74 furniture that I can put on it. Although I am seriously considering putting a Romy pistol grip lower handguard and a Romy side folder. I like the fact that it has an upturned handle on the bolt carrier.
Hoot, it ended up being a trade deal. No cash changed hands.Hootbro said:If you do not mind telling, what did you give for it?dalesimpson said:I got it.

There enough for 1/2"x28. 99.99% of the 5.45 type rifles with the muzzle nut are pressed on. I have only seen maybe 1 in 10 on the 7.62x39 rifles threaded. Also, is your muzzle nut look longer than average? if so, it is for sure pressed on a smooth barrel. "WJM" on Gunsnet and Ar15.com rents a thread kit and global sells the adapters.dalesimpson said:Hoot, I didn't think there was enough "meat" on the muzzle to thread it, and I have heard some guys taking the welded muzzle nut off and finding threads underneath. I will have to do some investigating.
Well, I got the muzzle nut off and just as I suspected there aren't any threads under there. Yes the muzzle nut is longer than normal. I never thought about threading to 1/2-28 because I guess I didn't realize that there were adapters out there. I will get in tough with wjm about the kit. I rented his 14-1 left hand thread kit when I threaded my SAR-1, but I guess I didn't know he had 1/2-28. I will have to see if I can find the adapters on Global.
