vz58 .223/5.56 thread pitch?

[cerebral_bore]

I searched around and couldnt really get a definitive answer. I would appreciate someone answering who know for sure what the thread pitch and handedness (lh or rh) this rifle is.

 

[cerebral_bore]

The 7.62x39 is M14x1 RH. That is easy enough to find, but what about the .223/5.56 version?

1in7 RH

1in7 RH

Where can you find muzzle devices in that spec?

 

[saskcop]

The rifling is 1 in 7". The threads on the end are the same as the 7.62 as I use the same muzzle devices on all my CZ/CSA's.

Thank you

Is there anywhere to buy thread adapters in canada?

 

[jongun]

Sorry thought we were talking rifling,my bad. Corwins usually has a good selection of muzzle devices but not sure where to get adapters or why you would need one.

Sounds like to me you're trying to make a suppressor for it.

Unless you're trying to fit a muzzle brake that is from a different kind of rifle.

Not that I'm aware of I ended up having one made up.

 

[corwin-arms]

It is the same as 7.62x39 model 14x1mm RH

I'd love to hear how you went about this.

I'm trying to fit a muzzle brake that is from a different kind of rifle. I've seen M14x1RH to 1/2x28TPI adapters, but only on American sites that don't ship to Canada..

 

[corwin-arms]

The only adapter that is made (Not customs one of course) is from 14x1mm RH to AK 74 Threads

Ask and ye shall receive...

There's one thread (by me) in the Red rifle section titled " For your viewing pleasure...." it's probably about 2 years old where I went into (among other things) making my CSA look like an Krinkov. One of which involved making a thread adapter that would allow me to use the Krinkov muzzle device on the CSA--1 x 14 Right hand thread to 24mm. There ARE 1 x 14 to 24 Left hand thread adapters for conventional AK's (available in USA) for those wanting to make their 762 AK's look like AK-74s (so they can attach Ak-74 muzzle devices)
Within the last few months, I posted a diagram (on someone else's thread) that a machinist aquaintance/friend used to fabricate one for me--he basically "reverse engineered" partially from another adapter I had on hand (that didn't have the right thread pattern

Yes, they're all gone, gone..gone (and cryin' won't bring her back--as the country western song goes. I sold the piece/rifle in question, but I did the same thing with a 762 version. I'll post a pic here soon with the rifle and a pic of the thread adapter (and if I can find it, a rough "blueprint" of the aforementioned adapter. so ya'all can get one machined yourselves

Okay, here you are with just a couple of pics from the 762 job I did. (see below)

Cerebral_bore: Note the thread adapter you were asking about. It is a bit different from the diagram (which was the first one that was made for me), but is essentially the same except for the ridge/ring on the end.

Hope this will help ya'all
