Want to replace my slant brake on my 2015 WASR10.  Looking at getting the Tapco AK-74 brake.  Looking for any other recommendations.  Thanks in advance.

I've had the tapco 74 brake before.  I didn't like the 3 inches it adds to the end of the weapon.  I have two of these Damage Industries brakes and love how they work. Resonably priced to try out and they are about the size of an AR A2 flash hider.  David

Tapco slot brake. Best value in a muzzle device period. Take it out and rapidfire a bit and you'll see why.

these work great, surprisingly well given how small they are.

the Tapco AK-74 brake doesn't work anywhere nearly as well as the genuine thing, since it does not have the gas expansion cavity or proper gas port pattern. It's mostly a muzzle weight, it is seriously heavy.

I have tried a bunch, spent a small fortune on night brake, slant, fsc47, venom, Griffen, Srvv jet, Jmac, Bulgarian 4 port, Bulgarian 4 piece brake, All of them work, a few are heavy.

I have settled on the little chubby, not as well known but works very well,

I personally use the tapco birdcage because every time I check CNC Warrior, the a2 style with closed bottom is out of stock. The century chevron that comes on the c39v2 is also frikkin awesome as well

The Vortex is a flash hider, not a muzzle brake.

This is what I use. You can still find them on the net although Tapco is currently redesigning it.

I like the Midwest Industries brake. Believe they are around $40.

I couldn't find it either, I'd buy one right now, use up some of that PP money!


 



I've had the 74 style Tapco, but it's long and heavy, really helped with recoil though, I'd like to try something like this slot brake.

Sorry, I hadn't checked since the last time I bought one, apparently they are gone from eBay and out of stock most everywhere else. Seems the word got out, damn, should bought a couple spares.

Just tried my new slot brake out today, BIG difference, I was getting bad cheek slap with my WASR, a Wolff XP recoil spring helped a bunch, and this brake took it the rest of the way. Much more enjoyable to shoot now!



Thanks for making this thread OP, I never would have tried one otherwise!

yep, the slot is unreal.  Mine came in yesterday and I promptly installed it.  Had one on my OPAP to reduce the slap too.

Midwest Industries brake.  Performs as well as others costing three times as much.

Another vote for the Damage Industries brake. If you subscribe to their emails they regularly run a sale on these as well as an excellent 3-prong flash hider for half price or, $12.00. With the recent postings of  Tapco slot brakes failing I'd go with DI. Wait until they have them on sale and buy one of each.
