Wanting to try my Turbo K on one of my AK74's. What adapter do I need to mount to the stock threads on a 74?
Thanks Edit: Forgot to mention, both my 74's are Bulgarian kits that TGI imported for a while. |

I Rockett'ed the KGM muzzle device to the thread adaptor, but haven't thread locked the adaptor onto the rifle yet (I'd like to be able to remove it and swap with a muzzlebrake at will, as the can isn't dedicated to this rifle). There's a slight bit of movement in the adaptor/suppressor when attached, but an alignment rod still clears the can.

It is the adapter from akbuilder.com. it threads on nice and snug. Rockset on the adapter to the yhm qd flash hider but not to the threads on the gun. Flash hider with blast deflector is still a fire breathing dragon!!!

Question for you guys: do modern "flow-through" cans really obviate the need for adjustable gas in your typical AKM platform?
More context: I'm ready to finally start buying suppressors, and was hoping to get a rifle can I could run on my 7.62x39mm Vepr. My aim is to make the rifle more enjoyable to shoot, general signature reduction (flash and sound), dampen concussion when shooting indoors, reduce operator hazards (that is, lower decibels at the shooter's ears and not suffer a ton of gas blowback in the process), and minimal impact on weapon functionality. I have zero expectation the rifle will be "quiet", let alone "hearing safe". But, if I can get some significant decrease in noise and blast, without overgassing the gun in the process, I'd be quite happy. From what I can tell, many "flow-through" cans are designed around this use-case, hence my interest. Another relevant point: to install an KNS adjustable piston on my Vepr would require permanent modification of the bolt carrier, something I'm not willing to do, which means I'd need to not just get the piston, but a spare bolt carrier as well to install it into. Based on a brief search, an AK-74 carrier (per my understanding, the Vepr is derived from the RPK-74M, so it uses a "thin stem" AK-74 BCG, and not an AKM one) is ~$150, and a KNS piston is also ~$150. So, setting up an adjustable gas system would run me ~$300. So, I figure if a low-backpressure can that doesn't need gas adjustment is ~$300 more then a "conventional can", the cost is a wash. |

I’d say get an adjustable gas block. Makes it do nice, and you can tune it without taking the gun apart if your shooting a mix of suppressed or unsupressed. It has been well worth the cost and time tinkering. |

I have a wasr so I could beat in that without any regrets. If it’s going to be a shooter and not a safe queen I’d still go with the adjustable gas block. if your careful all you damage is some paint around the pins, you can switch it back. With the definitive arms block you drill your own pin holes so you can do those anyway you want. It was simpler for me than to try and find/drill out the weld on the gas piston. I did it with a punch, hammer, rubber mallet, and hand drill. |

With the definitive arms block you drill your own pin holes so you can do those anyway you want. It was simpler for me than to try and find/drill out the weld on the gas piston. I did it with a punch, hammer, rubber mallet, and hand drill. If I'm being really truthful with myself, this rifle is probably going to effectively be a safe queen. I do shoot it occasionally, and I trust it and have it setup for "serious use" (electrooptic + sling + WML + flashhider), but I've been considering getting a 2nd AK which I wouldn't feel as bad about beating on and tinkering with the way the AK was meant to be abused. The Verpr, I have no doubt, is more than up to being used that way, but again, it's an original factory Russian rifle, and the odds of being able to buy one new again aren't looking very good currently. The part of me that wants to run it into the ground keeps getting overruled by the part of me who wants to preserve it as a piece of firearms history. My thought was if a "flow-through" suppressor worked good enough for occasional use without modifying the rifle, that would be the preferable route. And if I find myself shooting it enough to want a more optimized setup, I'll take that as a sign to go get another AK and modify it as necessary. Frankly, the Vepr is already pretty disadvantaged if I want to run a can given it's got a 16" barrel with the extra-thick RPK barrel + receiver, making it long and really front heavy. A 10"- 12.5" barrel with a standard AKM barrel profile + receiver seems like a far better suppressor host IMO. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By dmk0210: Yes. As long as your bore is concentric to your threads and you can verify alignment with a good quality and straight alignment rod, a SiCo Velos or HuxWrx Flow-Through is easy mode. HuxWrx even has muzzle devices that fit most of the AK threads. Excellent, that's what I was hoping to hear - sounds like a flow-through is just the ticket for my current needs. As for the risk of the bore not being concentric, this is something I've been aware of, and has been a major concern of mine. I've seen "facemount" muzzle devices offered as a possible solution for this, and it sounds fine in theory, but I'm curious to know how common and effective it actually is in practice. Additionally, are there are options worth exploring if my muzzle threads are off? |

Ecco Machine who makes suppressors and mounts, and is also a long time contributor over in the silencer forum once explained that some of the European AKs have what he calls "Snaky Bores". The bore itself isn't straight in the barrel. Depending on luck, it may actually come out of the muzzle at a very slight angle. Not enough to make sighting an issue or be a problem with a muzzle brake, but enough that you could need like a .40 bore on a 6" long suppressor with 7.62x39. 5.56 and 5.45 re usually easier to accommodate, just use a 30 cal suppressor. Using a shorter K-Can suppressor can help somewhat too. |

get a crowning tool and a mount that mounts to the face of the barrel, or crown. You can adjust the crown to whichever direction it needs to go to "align" the bore to the suppressor. I think @TX-Zen did this to one of his rifles. I just didn't suppress that SGL.

I have the older 762 can from 2021, and it amazes me how much cooler my AKM pattern rifles run with it vs a Sandman or Surefire. There is no comparison. It's a far more enjoyable experience to shoot. Here is my OSS can on my SG553R SBR:  Attached FileOf course, installing a KNS piston is not as bad as you might think. They work just as well as the original factory pistons and are as durable.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By kbi: Any one ever use one of these m14x1lh to 5/8 adapters After my rearden incident I just wanna use my hybrid 46 on my zastava m70 https://www.silencercentral.com/products/thread-adapter-banish-m14x1lh-to-5-8x24-w-detent-for-ak-firearms/ The Hybrid 46 is Hub threaded isn't it? Why not use JMac X37 and skip the stacking of adapters and mounts? It's shorter, lighter and probably safer (because it's face mount). https://www.jmac-customs.com/muzzle-devices/suppressor-mounts/x-series-hub/ |

JMac makes a lot of different mounts. The Jmac X37 mount I'm talking about has an integrated brake. You can't mount a Rearden brake on it. You thread the X37 mount on your barrel (no shims required with the 360 brake version) and you thread the suppressor on the X37. It doesn't get any simpler than that. https://www.jmac-customs.com/shop-by-product-type/muzzle-devices/x-series/x37-hub-1-375-24/ |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By themao: Yes. The heat mitigation you get using a HUXWRX can makes it well worth the investment if you wish to suppress an AK platform over a baffled can. I have the older 762 can from 2021, and it amazes me how much cooler my AKM pattern rifles run with it vs a Sandman or Surefire. There is no comparison. It's a far more enjoyable experience to shoot. Here is my OSS can on my SG553R SBR: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/10504/IMG_0166_jpg-3226234.JPG Of course, installing a KNS piston is not as bad as you might think. They work just as well as the original factory pistons and are as durable. I have seen zero data to suggest the contrary. AKs I don't care about, and am still waiting to see signs of extra wear and tear due to non KNS equipped rifles with high round count suppressor shooting  |
