So I've had this AK47 (from the late 90s) for about 2 months, and I'm in the process of re-finishing it. The muzzle threads were ground off to the point that the barrel wall is too thin to re-thread.
I'm thinking while I have the gun apart and blasted what was left of the old finish off, I might remove the existing fsb and then replace it with the AK74 one that has the 24x1.5mm threaded extension.
Like this one;
AK74 FSB
That way I could attach a brake.
NOTE: I'm a total newbie on this platform and looking for any advice, suggestions etc. from those who know, and if this is something I should farm out if I decide to press on.
