    Wondering if anyone can help me!

    I may or may not have a Bulgarian AK-74 pattern rifle...

    Anyone know the thread pattern on the muzzle? Is it just 14mm L/H?


    Thanks,


    -J-

    I thought most of these were 24mm x 1 or 1.5.

    I ain't gots NO idea! :n00b:

    My reason for asking: While I really like the idea of having the original muzzle break/flash hider on there (zig-zag, I think it's called?), I've seen some rather slick aftermarket FH as well.

    I'd just like to know in case I want to order another FH! :D

    An AK74 should have 24mm threads built into the fsb. I think there might be some 22mm out there too. Romanian maybe? I think all of the AK-100 series rifles use the 24mm threads.

    This. Bulgarian & Russian AK-74s use a 24x1mm threaded FSB; the Romanians use a 22mm threaded FSB, and the Polish Tantal uses a 14x1mm threaded muzzle with a proprietary length (i.e. a regular AK-47 type muzzle device will not fit).
