    Barrel threading MAK90?

    I have a MAK90 which I would like to thread the barrel to 14MM lefthand.
    Anyone have any experience on doing this? Also a source for a front site
    With the spring loaded detent that holds the muzzle attachment would
    Be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

        Hey JS-M1A.

        Got a Mak-90 and looking to do the exact same thing. E-mail me when you find out who and how to do all you listed. I would like to go halfers to get my Mak-90 done the same way.

          Just do it yourself with one of these...



          If you are doing a Chinese, make sure the diameter is within the spec to thread. If I remember, the Chicom barrels were a little thicker than a Romy or Hungarian. Might need to take off a few thousandths. Use lots of oil and go slow. The tool that goes with the die makes it a no brainer.


          Or, a gunsmith will charge you about $25 to $30 to do the same thing.

          Good luck

            Thank you. Half way there. Now I just have to find the correct
            Front sight base. I emailed polytechparts no reply as of today.

              Sounds good. I`m scouring the net looking for the correct
              Front sight base. No luck with polytech parts so far.
              It looks like the euro pattern Ak`s have different sizes
              Between the front sight pins than Chicom Ak`s.
              I may buy a Romanian front sight base to see if it fits.
              I don`t have any romanian parts to compare.
              Maybe someone here with romanian parts kit
              Could post the pin measurement on the front
              Sight base ?

                It's 1/2" between the pins on a Romy. Norinco had 3/4" between the pins. You could put an E.German front site block on. These guys sell them.

                  That so called company sucks ***
                  i bought that kit recently
                  the Die handle is made in India and didnt fit the the Die.

                  the customer service is a big fat Zero
                  i emailed them with no responce i finally found a contact number.
                  thru my credit card statement.
                  Called them and he just jerked me around telling me it was the other company thats affilated with him.
                  No help whats so ever.
                  I need to contact the Better Buisness Burea.

                      i ordered from precise innovations on nov. 1st and still havent received my threading set.....

                      I've sent numerous emails to them with no response... and their phone number line just happens to be blank on the email... it says phone: but with nothing after.
                      We're not done yet, we're not going quietly. We'll win in the end.

                        Sounds like a first rate outfit. I am looking into alternatives.
