[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Barrell Nut welded????

Posted: 7/21/2006 7:56:58 PM EDT

I was wanting to put a muzzle brake on... and noticed the nut was welded to the barrell is there any clip on style muzzle brakes or a way to brake that weld without hurting anything?

is it a tack weld? type of ak?
you could take the weld off with a dermel tool if you want, provided there is no AWB in your area and rifle is 992 compliant (us parts)

if it is a romanian, there may or may not be threads underneath, just have to take it off to find out

yes its a romanian and looks to be tack welded... If there are not threads how can I get a brake on it?

it could be threaded, or a new muzzle attachment could be welded on

If there is a "GP" in your serial number or marked on the rifle anywhere, there are probably threads underneath.

You can dremel it off. Though, with my WASR the dremeling was more extensive than I would have liked.
