Barrel Threading In OC

[hefedehefe]

So I was just wondering if it were possible to find someone in OC that can thread my saiga 545x39 barrel? I need to permanently attach a 2.5 in muzzle break on there too. Can I just do it myself? Any step by step guides for the Saiga 5.45x39? Thanks in advance

I can't remember who at the moment, but I seem to remember someone in your area with a 14x1lh threading die. Why would you need to permanently attach the brake? Is the barrel length less than 16 inches?

*edit* jvpark and he's in LA. I see you already posted in his thread. Did it fall through?

My 16 inch barrel with my telescoping folding stock would be shy of 30 inches by about 2 inches. I dont think his rig will work without the 5.45 tat. I asked but he never got back to me, so I assumed that I cant do it without the tat. So If I can just pay someone like $40 or $50 bucks to do it, that would be great

I helped a friend thread his barrel it wasnt too bad. If you cant find anyone to do it, Just buy a die and TAT from dinzag and you can do it at home. You just need to dremel off the shroud over the barrel tip or you can use a heavy duty conduit pipe cutter. Dip the tip in some kroil so itll slide off easy before you start cutting.

I will look into that. I would only need the die and tat? I have a rotary tool

Yeah you'll need the 5.54 TAT to do it. If your barrel is >16" you do not have to permanently attach your brake. That only needs to be done to meet federal minimum barrel length. Not necessary to meet cali minimum OAL.

I am still thinking about trying to do it myself. I also have a saiga 308I want to do too, so I'll probably just buy the tats
