I guess i should have specified lol. I’m trying to put a suppressor on it. SilencerCo said that they don’t recommend anything else other having new threads put on a barrel. They said if not I would more than likely have a baffle strike… It’s on a WASR 10/63 with 14X1 LH threads. The stores I called said they couldn’t do it because they didn’t have a machine that could hold the gun. It has to be just the barrel…What kinda gun shop/gunsmith won’t thread an Ak?
What are you trying to do? Concentric threads for suppressor? Does it already have threads, welded cap for post ban rifle?
I have threaded quite a few myself, very easy, mic the barrel, and buy a threading kit with a caliber specific alignment starter… kits can be had for $40-50…
Just make sure you get the right thread pitch you want and correct caliber alignment part… most of them will tell you the min and max O.D. spec that due works with
Last Ak shop was mesa kinetic and I think they closed

AK 47 14x1LH Barrel Threading Kit
Save a little time and money by ordering this kit instead of each part individually to thread the muzzle of your AK47.www.cncwarrior.com
First you don't need to pull an ak barrel to thread it. Secondly you don't need a machine to do it get some 1/2 28 thread dies do it yourself in the garage. If your not comfortable doing it yourself I would take it to a machine shop over a gunshop.
