Just to get it out there: if you have a threaded front sight block, it isn't a threaded barrel.
As in one is legal (by letter of the law) and doesn't require welding of device, while the other is a NYAWB no~no
FSB is a fully seperate component completely removable from the barrel that will not effect actual mechanical function of the barrel (other than having really **** aim, which isn't a mechanical issue as the rifle would still fire and function just fine)
Specifically:
NY penal law § 265.00, 'Definitions', para 22, sub~section (a), definition (iv)
a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor
You'd still have to use a brake as opposed to a flash supressor though, but it wouldn't need to be welded to the FSB meaning you could have different brakes to change around, or none at all if you had a fancy.
Check archives of forum for such to gather more info.
Do note that apparently some Saigas went out the door with threaded muzzles hiding under the sleeve that goes from FSB to muzzle.
In that case you'd need to have the threads there removed or permanantly incapacitated (weld sleeve over them) but that wouldn't effect FSB threading.
Barrel threading is in the 14mm range, FSB threading is commonly in the 24mm range meaning a brake that threads to the FSB will easily slip over a sleeved muzzle.
Again, just getting that out there.
Use at your own risk, YMMV, not responsible for lost or stolen items left at counter, valet does not accept tips.
