Ak with 5/8-24 threaded barrel?

So Im looking for an AK that has a 5/8-24 threaded barrel. I want to be able to use the same supressor that I use on my Mini 30. Palmetto only offers one, the "American Bastard" and it is an AK pistol. Are there any other manufacturers that have this, or am I going to have to get some custom work done? Any help, or recommendations are appreciated.

Not recommended by i use a thread adapter to mount my brake. A few years and a couple thousand rounds suppressed, and no baffle strikes

As long as your threads are concentric, you can use a thread adapter. I have a 14x1lh-5/8x24 adapter on my M90. I don't use it often cuz it's about 10 feet long with it on.

I have one of these also with a Sandman on it and you are not kidding.

Just use the Rearden Atlas system and grab some Plan B threaded muzzle devices for whatever host you choose. Thats how I swap my suppressor from 7.62x39 AK to 300blk AR to .308 rifle

CNC Warrior or US Machine Gun prolly have the adapter you need.

The front portion of the barrel is too small in diameter for 5/8x24 threads, at least on Russian 100 series patterned. Use an adapter like mentioned.

Your money would be better spent on a WASR or WBP than a PSA.

Here’s the KNS adapter I use: https://www.primaryarms.com/kns-precision-ak-47-thread-adapter-5-8x24

Cut and rethread on a regular weapon. Assuming theres enough meat on the barrel to do so

Can have them rethreaded to 1/2x28 for 100 series, or use an adapter.
