AK103 PBS-1 Silencer Thread Help

[Baz JJ]

I have a G&G AK103 (what they call the RK103).

 

Ive bought a very nice Vanaras PBS-1 steel suppressor to go with it (14mm CCW).

Ive just found that unlike every other G&G rifle Ive had or used, it has a strange 22mm male thread when you remove the flash hider.

 

There is a bit about this on the net (mainly about how hard it is to overcome the problem) but adaptors seem non existent. I might have to bite the bullet (hah) and get the G&G one which is built to fit their rifle but the Vanaras one is a lot more realistic !

 

Any ideas ?

Have a 22-14mm thread adaptor made up? Might cost around £30 for it to be made, maybe more, maybe less- depends on the company doing it and the finish they offer.

[Airsoft_Mr B]

Doesn't the Kriss Vector have a 22mm thread? I'll take a look but I'm pretty sure Patrol Base sold something like what you're for.

 

Shit it's 16mm sorry.

I swear I've seen one around though

[Baz JJ]

The problem with having one made up is that I cant find the thread spec in terms of TPI. I did find a 24mm one for the GHK but its too big.

I have that rifle and have the exact problem, however, after taking the flash hider off, you should notice a thin thread over the 14mm thread which I can see, however, cannot for the life of me get it off, according to PB, it should come off

Check at the bottom for a small grub screw. There was one on my aks74u thread adapter.

If there isn't a grub screw holding it on, you could try heating it up quickly - that should make the outer thread expand faster than it can conduct the heat into the inner, so it should loosen.
