So I ordered a 74 style muzzle comp for my wife's WASR. After removing the "thread protector" I found out to my horror that there were no threads at all. The seemingly superfluous muzzle cap was only pressed on. After googling it I found that the threads were removed during the AWB for compliance reasons, yet it's still possible to thread the barrels with a die kit.
Here's my problem; the compsator's threads slide over the muzzle. Since the compensator is already slightly than the muzzle, obviously threading won't work. I'm assuming that on some of the ban WASR's the existing threads were simply ground off. So what are my options here? Should I just weld it in place?
