So I'm examining my new Romy (1st one for me) and i see that the muzzle appears to be threaded and has the spring loaded locking-pin. Then I flip it over and see that it's welded in place. So my question is if I dremel away the weld, would it be removeable? And moreover, is it legal to? I know that the 22mm threads are "legal" beacuse of the unavailability of suppressors, and i assume that this would have the 22mm.... There is no "c" marked on it, either..... if it's a go, what are my options for change-up? (i.e. slant brake, 74 brake, etc....)  Oh, also, can this one accept a bayonet? I've never seen what AK bayonet lugs look like... |
I guess some do some dont

The only model Romanian rifles that were imported with threaded barrels were the WUM-1 and Romak-1 rifles. All other models were not threaded except the WASR-GP which was threaded after being imported. To remove the muzzle nut a Dremel tool and a Dremel #409 cut off wheel are needed. Make sure to cut through the weld on the muzzle nut side of it. That way all that is needed is a little file work on the front sight and some cold blue to make the spot weld look like it was never there.  Once the muzzle nut is off the barrel can be threaded 14x1mmLH if the diameter of the barrel is .551" +/- .010" or threaded 1/2-28 if it is .500" +/-.010". As you can see the AK-74 front sight block is threaded 22x1.5mm for the AK-74 muzzle brake and it also has the bayonet lug on it too. www.k-var.com/product.asp?0=216&1=235&3=240 All Romanian rifles chambered for 5.45x39mm are a semi auto version of the AK-74 rifle but don't have a AK-74 front sight block. They all have a AKM front sight block on them. |
