You don't remove the barrel to do this on an AK. Removing the barrel of an AK is nothing like an AR. You can do this yourself with a tap and tap aligner tool.Just have a VEPR that I'm looking to have the barrel removed and threaded. Not rocket science but I want someone working on it who does quality work. I'm very nitpicky and don't mind paying for quality work.
Be sure to remove the barrel from the trunion and move back the gas block or front sight. We will not thread an AK barrel with the trunion installed as it will not fit into our lathe.
The term "professional" gets used pretty loosely these days........
I stumbled across Blackwell Industries when I was shopping for an AK. Eric is very knowledgable and helpful. Try giving him a call.

I am looking into getting my Mak90 barrel threaded for a comp.
What was your turnaround time for Blackwell to do your work?
For future reference check out Dinzag arms, they sell all the tools needed to get a threading job done and there is some satisfaction in doing the work yourself.
Yes, a 5.56 A2 FH is threaded 1/2 - 28 RH.Mine has had the threads turned.
So the 1/2"-28 is the route I will go. Is it possible to use an old A2 bird cage on a AK?
