Threaded SKS Help!

[Danable]

i have a question. is it legal to thread the barrel of an SKS. i want to put the ak-74 compensator on it. i've tried the twist ons and i'm not happy with them. i wouldn't care if it needs to be drilled and pinned or silver soldered. i just want it to be secure on the end of the barrel. i found a die set at brownells for an ak-47 and after a few measurments with the caliper i've found they have the same OD. also if this is legal do you know a gunsmith that will drill and pin if need be. thanks so much -dan

Try "Will" thats his forum board screen name, he owns red stick firearms, builds alot of custom AK and SKS variants. His shop is in Baton Rouge.

You can thread any barrel as long as the barrel length or OAL doesn't go below the legal limit.

are SKS rifles subject to 922(r)?

BE Careful SKS are often subject to 922 AND especially if you put a removable mag on it.

A brake would be one of the Evil features.
