Threads on AP 80
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2012 8:28 am
Hi all, had a quick question. I have a Jager AP 80 (AK 22) and removed the barrel's thread protector for the first time yesterday. I'm considering suppressing it. I was wondering what the threads are on it, I was hoping they would be 1/2 x28 but I believe they are metric since the rifle was made in italy.
I had one person tell me they could be M12x 1.25 and after trying the thread protector with a tap that size, it threaded right on, however trying a die that size didn't want to start on the threads and I stopped because I didn't want to mess the barrel threading up. Since the protector threaded right on to the tap, is it a safe bet that is the correct threading?
Also if it is M12x 1.25 is that a common suppressor thread? if not could I get an adapter so I would be able to use a can with 1/2 x28 threads?
