How hard is it to find someone who can work on ak's!!!
I want to get a barrel threaded and NO ONE would touch it, except for 1 person who wants $250 bucks since because you know....its an ak.
Well after 3 days of looking for some one I finally did!
$50 bucks no big deal, he personally owns a rifle like mine and has extensive knowledge on how to work on it!
Ya I have to ship it to him, but man at least its in my state!

What rifle is it and who have you contacted?
I use InRange and have been very satisfied. The only caveat is that Troy doesn't work on Rommys.

I would be interested to see how this turns out. I also have a MAK 90, and I was not certain if there was enough material on the end of my barrel for it to be threaded. Please post an update, when you get your muzzle device installed. |

The gun smith said that it needs 55thousands on the barrel to thread it to 14x1mm
if not you have to go to a smaller thread size....
mine is a little over

I have AKs that have work done by Troy at InRange and Mark Graham at Arizona Response Systems. Both do great work.

MAk 90 has plenty of barrel for threading - anyone telling you differently is on crack.
You may have to move the FSB back a smidge if it has been cut to remove the factory threads, but doing this is a very minor job for a competent AK smith.

Glad to hear it. Good AK smiths can be hard to find. InRange is one of the good outfits.
