I have a few AK74's that I want to thread so I can add a suppressor quick disconnect. The barrels are already populated.
The bore through the headstock is too small to run the barrel through. So I am going to have to thread between centers. This will be a first for me. I will be turning the front sight base/muzzle break mount that is threaded 24x 1.5mm down and thread part of it 1/2x28.
Does anyone have any pointers or things that I should watch out for?
I have practiced cutting threads and am confident in my threading abilities.
Here is the fsb for a visual reference. As I said earlier the fsb is already pressed on and pinned.
