I’m told that Yugoslavian Type 59/66 Rifles use a 14×1 RH thread, whereas the majority of AK rifles use a 14×1 LH thread. To remove the grenade launcher, just punch out the pin and remove the GL as you would any standard fastener (“righty-tighty, lefty-loosey”). The pins are reported to come out easy. The GL is reported to come right off as well using a vice grip or pipe wrench. This author has been told that AK brakes only thread about 1/3 of the way on, and then promptly strip the threads.
