Grub screw stripped my threads - AM I screwed?
 

Taking nearly 30 minutes with the boiling method paired with a torch - I still couldn't get the ak flash hider of my aeg

By calling upon the power of Gray Skull, I managed to twist a good portion - then looking down and noticing my outer barrel threads were completely stripped.

Out comes the dremel and I cut the shit off hoping I still have some remaining threds - I would have been satisfied with half - turns out I really have one and a half left but attachments still manage to stay on.

So what are my options to re-thread? Send it to a machinist? Are there any self fixes? I thought about wrapping some teflon tape, attaching something, then removing it, then applying crazy glue to the teflon tape after it has the imprinted threads..

Steel? Plastic? Potmetal?

$99 Kraken, or 2k custom?

Just tighten that grub screw so it'll keep the thread adapter in place. If you do not plan to attach anything loctite that fucker in.

One of the newer CYMA 40 series.

Pot metal it is.

So for that maybe perform a reconstruction with JB Weld.

Not sure about that particular gun but I would treat it like a roll pin now and drill it out if you really need to get it out

good luck

I'm actually just reading that with AK104's series, the flash hider threads are part of the front sight, so the outer barrel wouldn't actually need to be replaced.

Anyone know where to find one? CYMA brand if they make it...
