Hello boys and girls.

New to the world of suppressors so I hope these are not stupid questions.

1. What is a good can for a 7.62X39 AK? (This will be on a semi-auto).  (Also I am not a navy seal ninja so I don't need anything to high speed)
2. Can I use the existiong threads to screw this on with(it is threaded as a standard AK should be.)?
3. What are the odds of having a projectile exit the can immproperly?

1) YHM.  Bang for the buck, a YHM .30 cal can is hard to beat.  In the same can, I'm running 5.56mm regular AR & AR SBR & 7.62x39mm with the ability to upgrade to .308/.300 Win Mag in the same can if I ever get off my @$$ and get a nice bolt rifle.  It's full auto rated, built like a tank, and brings noise down to approximately a .22LR hi-speed round.  I'm sure others will chime in here and tell you what they run.
2) I have a WASR-10 as my current host.  I have a couple of them and just chose my folding stock model as I could visually inspect it the easiest before I fired.  And yes, I did a couple mags with just one round, then three rounds, then five, to make sure it cleared OK with no baffle strikes.  Mine are 14x1mm LH threads & YM extra flash hiders can be found for $50ish (used) to $75 (new).  My stocking dealer had a couple I picked up when I bought the can.
3) Depends.  The first thing you have to check is thread alignment and thread depth.  For instance, I have a AMD-65 pistol that has threads which are much deeper than my Romy AKs and it looks like they are off center.  The WASR-10 I used I just eyeballed it and took it carefully the first few rounds and it's fine.  Ammo is Wolf without any issues.

Hope this helps.  If you want a pic in this thread I'll post one when I get home, but I've put pics in several of the threads in this forum and try not to spam too much.
