Picked up an underfolder that was missing the slant brake and detent. Now I know why. The brake threads on about a quarter of the way and the rest of the threads seem to be too wide on the barrel the rest of the way. Not by much, enough to think that the correct threads could be cut further down.

Additionally, it looks like the sight base was pinned in without the detent and spring. I'm not comfortable enough to do this work.

Looking for someone in the Cumming or surrounding area (North Georgia) that can finish cutting the threads and install the detent and spring. I have the brake and spring and detent, just need someone's expertise to bring it all home.

Wow! This thread was revived!
You'll be happy to know I bought a thread alignment tool and did the work myself. Added the detent, spring and brake. Still have the AK. Not sure how often I'll need that tool but I have it of I do.
