    AK74 birdcage FH or Phantom FH?

    Trying to decide which is better for my Saiga 308.

      Wouldn't a AK74 muzzle brake or birdcage be to small [.248] of a diameter for a 308?

        For the first few rounds it would be. I think he means a 74 style break

          If you are already BB'd, id go with something that is both a FH and compensator.

            Already have a Dinzag AK74 style brake. There's just too much flash obscurring my sight image. The gun is converted and mag locked.

            Just trying to decide if I want the AK74 style FH or the Phantom. They both work for .30cal

            What would you suggest? It needs to be in either 24x1 or 17x1. The barrel is threaded in 17x1. I can get a thread adapter from Dinzag for 24x1.

              PWS FSC is alwaays a good choice.

                I checked the PWS site and didn't find anything threaded in either 24x1.5 or 17x1. Can you refer me to one that is?

                    Thanks but I can't use that. Its threaded 14x1.

                    I need it to be threaded in 24x1.5 or 17x1.

                      Doh, just realized it was a 308. I havent seen any in 17x1 sorry.

                        Okay, back to the original question.

                        I'm choosing between the AK FH in 24x1.5 or a Phantom FH in 17x1. As I said before I can get a thread adapter for 17x1 to 24x1.5 from Dinzag. Or I can just use the Phantom FH and not have to mess with an adapter. Just want to know which is more effective as an FH.

                        I've also looked at the Manticore Nighshroud Mkii for the 24x1.5 but the review I've seen online stated that it wasn't any more effective than the AK FH. Gabe Suarez on Warrior Talk also mentioned that the Phantom FH is very effective. That's my research so far. Just asking if anyone here as any real experience with either FH to comment.
