Ak-47 slant compensator (brake) questions

I would do a crush washer. Loctite won't hold with the heat generated.

Test with your ammo first to see best position.

Thanks. Now need to find a crush washer.

You want to orient the slant brake as designed. I ditched mine and replaced with this https://shop.akoperatorsunionlocal47...ake-BD2-AK.htm
But I hear that they do work well.

I had this problem with the npap. I used blue locktite at a straight angle but never got to shoot it like that. Removing was hard without damaging the brake so i think you can shoot it without using locktite. Some brakes screw on tight enough to not rotate while shooting.

I'd want to be able to remove it for muzzle carbon cleaning.
My slant caused incredible buildup on my old Chinese Sile import. I replaced it with a muzzle nut.

Thanks for the replies.

The front sight on the VSKA Trooper is a few inches back from the muzzle and does not have the pin as it is not needed. The VSKA Troopers have OEM birdcage style flash hiders. Mine came without a grip and without an FH for compliance purposes. Pic of a stock VSKA Trooper below for visual reference.
