I've decided to buy an AK 74 for the cheap 5.45 ammo.

If I buy This rifle  http://www.jgsales.com/product_info.php/products_id/1080

Will it be possible to fit this muzzle brake on it?

http://www.aimsurplus.com/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?REFPAGE=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2eaimsurplus%2ecom%2facatalog%2fKimber_Custom_II_%2e45acp_1911_Pistol%2ehtml&WD=74%20ak&PN=Threaded_AK%2d74_style_AK_Muzzle_Brake%2ehtml%23a1167#a1167

What kind of tools will it take?

If you can't answer my questions can you just provide me with more information on AK 74's?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think that rifle has a threaded barrel.

I don't know, but I think that it might be too small of a diameter to thread it 14x1 LH.

Another option would be to thread it to 1/2-28 and use a 1/2x28 to 24mm adapter and use a  standard AK74 break.

That is going to increase the cost a bit so factor that into the price.

Thanks. COuld you give me some more specific links to show me?

I'm really not good at knowing what I'm looking for in this field.

why would you want to fit a muzzle brake not designed for 5.45 onto the WASR 2 though?  You can get a '74 one SOMEWHERE on the internet i'm sure.

Oh thanks. I guess since I saw "AK 74" I assumed it was 5.45 and didn't see the bit about "style" and "7.62"

You can change out the front sight base and get the brake. Or you can thread the bbl end for something else. Either way, you are committing to a thread pattern (and AK does not match AR pitch).

Or just buy more ammo
