Hello,
I have a AC code G43 that somewhere in its life a US flash hider was put on. The threads are buggered up. My question is does anyone know what the original barrel end was threaded to? Im sure its metric, so looking for width, thread count and pitch so I can order a die to rethread and put an original muzzle cap on. Thanks in advance.
 
G43 muzzle threads

I measured mine tonight and it is 14mm thread and looks like normal course pitch.
I'll bring a thread pitch gauge home tomorrow and measure it to make sure.

Checked tonight,turns out it is 14x1.5.
Hope you can chase the threads and find a muzzle nut for it.

You can buy a new one

but it will carry the stigma of being an aftermarket part. Some members here would cut their arm off with a rusty piece of metal before doing that; I don't belong to that club so I would say go ahead and get it already.

Incidentally, they also sell their parts on ebay for sometimes less than in their site.
