So I just purchased a "neutered" AK74 today. This one comes with nothing on the end of the bbl. On the Front Sight base, where the threads normally are, it just looks like it was left unthreaded. So this AK is not one of those that comes with a permanently affixed brake.
I was thinking of purchasing a threaded front sight block and silver soldering on the brake before I installed it on the gun. That would keep me legal at all times.
Then I had a flashback to the CT law which reads:
A semiautomatic rifle that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following:
...
iv. a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor. . .
But on the AK the threads are not on the bbl. They are on the front sight block. So no threaded bbl but a threaded sight block. Is this legal? My guess is that its on the bleeding edge. This is a discussion for academic purposes only at this point.
