I know there are a lot of knowledgeable people out there and I am hoping one of you can help me identify this part.
Here’s what I know;
I found this stuffed in the bottom of a German military surplus AK-47 magazine pouch that I bought from The Sportsman’s Guide.
It was wrapped in brown paper and appears to be unused.
The flanged end diameter is just over ¾ inch diameter, I would guess about .780 inch.
The overall length is 15/16 (.94 inch).
The end with the smaller diameter hole is 3/16 (.19) Inside diameter. And the flanged end has semi-round notches around the circumference.
It is also threaded in this end. The threads appear to be about ½ diameter and are a fine pitch. I don’t have my thread gages at home, they are at work.
At first I thought it appears to possibly be a barrel nut for an AK barrel except that the ID is WAY too small to safely pass a 7.62 round through. I could dig my AK out of the back closet except that my wife has already gone to bed and I don’t want to disturb her since she has to work tomorrow.
After thinking a little more about it, if it does fit onto an AK barrel, could it be used to create backpressure to allow the gun to cycle properly using blanks? I think I have seen adapters for AR's that are used when shooting blanks. I know you would blow your barrel to bits if you tried to use this with real rounds.

It may be the cap to the cleaning kit,It could also be used as a bore guide to prevent damage to the crown during cleaning AK47 Parts Breakdown and Review
