Technical muzzle brake question.

I have a wasr, that I just received a cnc warrior ak 47 compensator for. Well, (just like every thing else on this poorly assembled pos) the treads on the fsb are crooked (along with the gas block and the fsb that I have already addressed) From what I can tell from the bullet guide, there is a good chance of bullet shave. If I mill out the front of the compensator, will it affect the function of the expansion chamber, since this is a working compensator? Or is it time to get a new fsb?

Opening up the exit hole for added clearance will affect the function of a properly designed compensator. How much depends on the design. I would suggest installing a correct FSB before doing any modifications on your accessories. Non-concentricity is a bad thing when dealing with high speed projectiles. My humble opinion.

I have a 14x1 left hand die, die handle, and thread alignment tool, I used to thread my sks for its Battle comp akbc. Do you think I could possibly straiten out the threads enough to lock tight it down? Or just take the threads off, and weld it on. I don't really want to spend too much money on the Romanian, just want it functional.

You should use a lathe to properly align and chase the threads. Doing it unsupported by hand may not guarantee concentricity. I would suggest taking it to a gunsmith or a trusted machine shop and have this done correctly so you don't ruin your equipment. Welding it on is an option but everything will still need to line up correctly. This approach also severely impedes your ability to make changes should you ever decide to to try something different on the muzzle.
