AK Muzzle Devices - need feedback

[filthy phil]

+1 on the PWS Jtac!

will a bayo fit over that?

[penguinofsleep]

CSA do you have a link or picture of the KVAR non descript?

and wow... how did i forget about the slant brake. covers all the requirements to some degree for ~10 shipped... yeah i'll definitely grab one of those the next time i make an order somewhere.

is the 74 style east german brake from rtg caliber specific? it doesn't say anything on the website. looks like a great option otherwise as it's chrome lined which will help with the corrosive stuff.

I have had the AK-74 East German Brake mounted on my 7.62 X 39 for a bit over a year now, with Zero bullet strikes or any other issues out of about 400 Rounds fired through it.













IMHO, out of all the AK74 Brakes, the East German version from RTG is the Best one for the money..The Fit and Finish is superb. And the Pics don't do it justice.

Anybody try the spikes dynacomp on a AK yet? Seems comparable to a battle comp at a fraction of the price.

I really like my Aimsmall muzzle device, the light show is spectacular & I did notice slightly less recoil than the slant brake .... my 2cents ... this video I shot speaks for itself lol ...

I bought it several years ago when I first started hosting build parties. Here's an old picture of it:

It is US made. I don't see it listed right now but, it is similar to this: http://www.k-var.com/shop/AK-351.html . All of my testing of AK brakes has been shooting my AMD65 pistol with one hand off a rifle front rest whith a 3" bag (so it wasn't tight in the rest, just sitting on it). I've a cheap SOB so, I've never bought an AK brake for more than $25.

In the end, the slant brake will probably fit your needs the best since it doesn't divert sound sideways or rearward.

OP are you looking for 24mm or 14mm?

That was my question. The 74 type brakes only really work if they have the 24mm base, they need that area for the expansion chamber.
The best one i've shot is the battle comp, that's on a 30 cal with a 14mm muzzle. Next to that it's hard to beat the 74 brake.

I have an old tapco ak-74 style break for my AK-47 but most of the time I just use a slant break

This is True; however...

You can use the AK-74 Brake on a 7.62 X 39 AKM by installing a $10 adapter < 14 X 1mm (LH) to 24mm (RH) > , as sold by AK-Builder, APEX and others:





From the AK-Builder site:

"This adapter fits on the end of a standard 14-1LH threaded AK muzzle and adapts it up to the modern Russian 24mm thread design. With this adapter, you can use AK74 type muzzle devices with 24mm threads. Has notches for detent locking pin."

http://ak-builder.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=30068

The Adapter allows for the expansion chamber to do its work as intended...-

haven't cut the sleeve off yet so i don't know if it may already be threaded underneath. if it isn't, then i was going to thread it to 24mm as there seem to be more brakes available at that size but i guess any thread size is only $10 away with an adapter.

u cant tread it to 24mm only 14.. if u want 24mm tread u will need a ak74 style 24mm FSB

[penguinofsleep]

so i cut off the barrel sleeve this morning and the barrel was factory threaded! LH for sure, and i imagine they are 14x1mm threads.

for the east german 74 style brake, are those 24x1.5RH? or are there other sizes for 24mm threads, ie 1mmLH or RH, 1.5mm LH, etc. all adapters i have seen online simply say 24mm, leading me to believe that most devices will be the same.

u got lucky ur barrel is treaded! they are 14mm LH treads... just get a 14 to 24mm adapter and u are gtg for the E german style MB or u can get get a 24mm FSB once and for all

The FSC-47 is Very load!!! It will cause pain in your eardrum without hearing protection...it does help with recoil, but not very noticeable....IMO perfomance + price= not worth it...
I had it on a Draco and romy
