I have a Romanian SAR3 that had a threaded barrel when I got it. I don't know if it was manufactured that way. It's a left hand thread. The barrel is 1/2" in diameter. There are approximately 21 threads (pictured below) in just under an inch. The rifle included a left to right hand thread adapter and a AK74-type brake. The threads on the brake were much wider apart than the thread on the barrel.
I've seen all these numbers: 24x1, 24x1.5, 14x1, 14x1.5, 22x1, 1/2x28. I still can't make sense of it, and I don't know if what I have even fits in that category. I've read up online trying to find a definitive source of information to no avail. I'd just like to know:
- What is the thread pitch on that barrel?
- Is it 24x1 or 24x1.5, etc?
- What the heck does that number actually mean?
Please forgive my ignorance on this topic, and thanks for any info.
