Default Threaded my Maadi

Re-threaded my Maadi barrel making it EVIL again
Got the stuff for the job from CNC Warrior.

Got the slant brake, the die, die handle, and die starter.

Need to pick up some cold blue to do the threads yet also need to install the retaining pin into the sight base.

Man... when you buy a gun you really go to work on it. Keep up the good work...

Yep, 1 more thing to do yet and that is replace the piston with a US made one.

Default Great Looking Job. I Need To Do This With My Saiga.

Curious to ask how $much$ did the whole nine yards cost? Did you buy or rent the threading die? Was threading the barrel real tricky? Would the threads be precise and even enough to allow a can to be safely mounted?

Reason is I need to do this with my Saiga 7.62x51 Sporting Rifle now speaking American accented 9.22r English. Nobody that I have contacted will guarantee the thread job for a suppressor. HB of CJ (old coot)

Default Opps...Re Read You Post And Saw The Prices.

Missed them the first time. Seems quite reasonable money wise. Thanks again. HB of CJ (old coot)
