Maadi question...

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I have an Egyptian Maadi and I want to install a brake. The barrel has been turned down, anyone happen to know the thread pattern? Or should I invest in a micrometer?

Micrometers are always a good investment. Sorry I don't know the thread pitch. Those Maadis are good ones, ugly, but they don't skip a beat.

The standard ak47 thread pattern is 14x1 LH metric. I would probably get with a gunsmith that is familiar with ak's and see how to go about installing one. The factory threaded ak's also have a spring and detent in the front sight base to keep the brake in place and properly positioned on the barrel.
