huntxtrm Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 I finally got my Flash hider removed. Turns out it is left hand threads? The muzzle brake, I purchased is Right hand! Guess its gonna be a coffee table topic. Is there a way to tell what brand of upper is on my ar? It was built by someone, sometime back. Then I bought it. Any suggestions on where to get a left handed muzzle brake? I want to make sure I get the right one this time. Any advice would be appreciated....
rcnut Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 Give Huber Concepts a call 920-921-9641 or check them out at huberconcepts.com if you call them you most likely get John on the phone, great man to deal with and the owner. also check out his web site and see some of his video's.
survivalshop Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Left hand threads on the barrels muzzle , that's a new one on me . Why ? Sure makes it proprietary ! That sight shows a 14mm x 1mm LH , strange thread pitch . Edited October 26, 2015 by survivalshop
planeflyer21 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 Check AK suppliers like KVAR and AK-47 dot com. I bet they have left-hand threaded brakes/accessories.
Toolndie7 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 Thats a standard AK barrel thread I believe. Maybe go shopping for an AK style brake?
huntxtrm Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Posted October 26, 2015 why would someone put an ak barrel on a AR?
planeflyer21 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 why would someone put an ak barrel on a AR? For the same reason they drop 350 CSBs into Jeeps: because they can.

EasyEJL Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 why would someone put an ak barrel on a AR? if its a 7.62x39 AR, then it makes total sense
planeflyer21 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 why would someone put an ak barrel on a AR? if its a 7.62x39 AR, then it makes total senseI don't believe they used an AK barrel, rather I believe they threaded the AR barrel on the muzzle with left-hand threads in order to use an AK brake.Which are very plentiful.And work.
EasyEJL Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 Yeah, I didn't mean I think its an AK barrel, just it makes sense for it to be threaded the same as an AK :)
ChaseFan9 Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 If it's 14x1mm LH then it's standard AK threads, but make sure that's what it actually is. I believe the MSAR STG uses 13x1mm LH threads, and I've seen 13.5 and 14.5 LH pitch on a couple others.Measure twice, cry once, right?
shibiwan Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) .....or designed it for suppressor use since it's "easier" to put on a suppressor on a LH threaded barrel when you're holding the firearm on your right hand and use the left hand to thread it on. That's why a lot of handguns have LH threaded barrels.Kinda weird to see it on an AR platform. Edited October 26, 2015 by shibiwan
survivalshop Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 Maybe they want the gas pressure to keep the brake/suppressor tight , that is of course its a RH twist Barrel .? ? Learn something new here every day .
huntxtrm Posted October 26, 2015 Author Report Posted October 26, 2015 think i'll just duct tape to one I bought on there. LOL. Its going to a gunsmith.
