How to Easily Remove Your AK Variant Muzzle Brake.What are the Most Common Thread Types to Know About?.Read further to find out and learn some answers to commonly asked questions regarding AK muzzle devices! So what are the best AK muzzle devices and which AK muzzle brakes, flash hiders, and recoil compensators should you use on your particular AK-47 or AKM? In this article, we’re going to show you how to remove those unsightly abominations and show you how to replace them with something more unique and agreeable to your AK… and your taste. Other AKs come with an AR-15 style birdcage brake (or similar variant) that doesn’t look quite right on an AK. If you’ve been around the block long enough, you may have noticed that most stock AKs on the market come with a very basic AKM variant slant brake that a lot of people elect to replace with a much more effective muzzle device. We even have muzzle devices that combine the best of both designs into an all-in-one solution to your recoil and flash woes! Since then we’ve come a long way in not only reducing flash but reducing muzzle rise as well. I apologize if any of these questions are "stupid." I am new to the Saiga/AK game and have plenty to learn.The first flash hiders were a simple metallic cone that was mounted to the end of an Enfield rifle. What is the best way to most securely and permanently mount the FSB and make sure it is aligned? I'm also a bit iffy on the removal of the old FSB and installation of the new one. However, it will obviously cost significantly more to do so.and I'm just looking to put a brake on the gun, when all's said and done. On the other hand, I could pick up a 24mm FSB and not worry about the brake moving. And what is to keep the adapter from coming undone? But how secure would that be? I realize I could red loctite the threads, but I don't know if that would suffice, seeing as there is no plunger to keep the brake indexed. This seems like a cheap and easy $10 option. Seemingly, I could attach the brake I have now with the adapter and call it a day. With that said, I'm looking for the most efficient way (cost, convenience, reliability, etc.) to do so. My main goal is to add the brake, so I don't mind not having the lug for the bayonet or mounting point for a cleaning rod (although it would be nice and would look pretty snazzy). The other option I was considering was to use a 14x1 to 24x1.5 thread adapter (assuming that the barrel is factory-threaded under the shroud): I could obviously go with a 24mm threaded FSB with bayonet lug. In terms of attaching it to my rifle, I am torn between a couple options. My question is: is there a way to confirm that this particular brake will accommodate this caliber? Is the likelihood high that it would? My guess is that it will be fine? Pics for reference: Note: I have no experience with 7.62x39, so I am unfamiliar with the size of the round. But then again, he also told me it was 14x1 thread, so I am unsure. I asked this fellow if this would work with the 7.62x39 round, and he said yes. After I got the item, it was clearly a 24x1.5 thread brake: Upon speaking with the gentleman I bought it from, he told me the threads were 14x1 I bought this in anticipation of the probability that the barrel may have factory threads (not sure if it will or not). I just snagged a great deal on a new Bulgy AK-74 muzzle brake with the half-moon cuts. I've searched regarding my topic, but I just need a little help/guidance with a couple things as I am beginning the conversion of my 7.62x39 gets out of jail Monday! I apologize if these topics have been beaten to death. I'd have to say this is the best forum I have been a part of and one of the biggest databases for information regarding Saigas.
